Singer Dia Frampton released a music video for her song “The Broken Ones” off her upcoming Red album. (You might remember her on The Voice as part of Blake Shelton’s team.) Her single is about loving the faults that people have. It’s embracing and accepting people that may be perceived as weird or off. In the video, this is illustrated by a forest attack by invaders against the protectors of the broken ones. Inspired by Where the Wild things Are, Lord of the Flies,and Peter Pan’s Lost Boys, video evokes the emotions of being an outcast. However, the sense of isolation dissipates when you find others with similar feelings. The part-Korean singer lays it out on the track. You can get the single on .

Lyrics to The Broken Ones by Dia Frampton
I know they’ve hurt you bad
Why hide the scars you have
Baby let me straighten out your broken bones
All your faults to me make you more beautiful
I can’t help it I love the broken ones
the ones who need the most patching up
the ones who never been loved
never been loved
never been loved enough
Maybe I see a part of me in them
The missing piece always trying to fit in
the shattered heart hungry for a home
no you’re not alone
I love the broken ones
You don’t have to drive with your headlights off
It’s a pocket knife, not a gift from God
Don’t you learn of love from the love they kept
I will be your anchor, slowly, step by step
Maybe we can rip off the bandage
Maybe you will see it for what it is
Maybe we can burn this building holding you in
