In her latest episode of Just A Little Shady podcast, Hailie shared her reaction of his father Eminem releasing the music video of “Somebody Save Me,” featuring Jelly Roll, the third single from The Death Of Slim Shady (Coup De Grace) album. She also shared her thoughts on “Temporary” song, featuring Skylar Grey, which is also dedicated to her.
In the music video of “Somebody Save Me,” Eminem is on the outside looking in watching his three children replay precious moments from their lives that he missed out on due to his demanding career and struggle with addiction. Home video footage of Hailie Jade playing the guitar at a recital, walking across the stage for graduation and blowing out birthday candles; Alaina’s graduation; Stevie opening presents; and brother Nate during the holidays play throughout the hard-hitting clip, bringing Em to his knees seeking forgiveness from above.
During the podcast, Hailie said: “Speaking of things I watched this past week, which I refused to watch again, is “Somebody Save Me” music video. I watch it in entirety and I don’t think I can do it again. I definitely cried.”
Shen then continued: “Between that and ‘Temporary’…I mean, I can’t…I audibly sobbed, I think for both songs, but especially ‘Temporary,’ but I will say, watching the video back and listening to the songs, I feel like my parents did such a good job, growing up, where I didn’t realize how bad things were. But now, as an adult, in hindsight, it’s so scary to think about and I think that’s why I get emotional so much. Just thinking that this could have happened. And obviously that’s the point of the song but I will say that if you’ve ever lost an addict or a loved one, I feel for you… It’s a great video. It’s fun to see clips of us when we were younger like that, even ‘Mockingbird.’ But I can’t even listen to that anymore without crying. The older I get the less I can listen to any of these songs. But it is fun to see those clips not in that context.”
