Boy Erased Revelation lyric video by Troye Sivan & Jónsi released

Troye Sivan and Jónsi have released the lyric video of the original theme song “Revelation” for Focus Features coming-of-age and coming-out drama film adaptation Boy Erased, from writer/director/actor Joel Edgerton. The soft ballad was also co-written by record producer Leland. You can now buy the full song on this website. Check out the video below!

The film was based on Garrard Conley’s Boy Erased: A Memoir of Identity, Faith, and Family which stars Academy Award nominee Lucas Hedges (Manchester by the Sea) as Jared Eamons and Academy Award winners Russell Crowe as Marshall Eamons (Gladiator) and Nicole Kidman (The Hours) as Nancy Eamons.

Boy Erased tells the story of Jared (Hedges), the son of a Baptist pastor in a small American town, who is outed to his parents (Kidman and Crowe) at age 19. Jared is faced with an ultimatum: attend a gay conversion therapy program — or be permanently exiled and shunned by his family, friends, and faith. Boy Erased is the true story of one young man’s struggle to find himself while being forced to question every aspect of his identity.

Conley’s memoir was first published last year by Penguin Random House and was issued earlier this year in paperback.
