The Beautiful Princess of Never Come True

The Beautiful Princess of Never Come True is a wish for a more open, accepting and loving world where a boy is free to be a princess. The music video is a poetic and fluid journey from a young age to adulthood, witnessing the princess traverse through innocence, joy, struggles, questions and connections. The song from John Lester is a moving story, inspired by his son Aaron Lester, and his desire to not conform to societal norms by simply wearing a dress. The lyrics force us to explore deeply held beliefs, like the impact established gender roles have on our children and their need to fight against expectations to be who they truly are.


This music video is the work of so many. The entire crew of Cloudfactory and our collective of great, talented friends have all graciously and generously contributed to making this creation. We cannot thank them enough. We hope this story will inspire greater acceptance for people to show up as themselves, fully and unapologetically.
