We like to think we offer a diverse selection of news highlights, but are hoping this week to ramp up our independent coverage more than ever.

Michigan’s American Opera has quickly become a need-to-know face in the world of alternative singer/songwriters. His latest EP featured songs developed from stories shared with AO from fans, and now one of those tracks has been given a proper video treatment.

Clocking in at just over five minutes, “The Good Fight” is the latest in an ever-growing line of powerhouse acoustic tracks from American Opera. The song fades in with no assumptions of the content, and as the verses begin to unravel listeners are taken on a journey through one couple’s struggles with health and heartache. The video keeps things decidedly lighter, with what is essentially a lyric video playing out through balloons, but the impact of the song’s content is not dampened in the slightest. You can view the video below.
