Drew Green s new The Rest of Our Lives music video will make you want to get lost in the country with the one you love. Readers can press play below to watch the performance, premiering exclusively via The Boot.
It s a simple concept: Green stands in the middle of a grassy clearing, the camera circling around him as he sings his recently released song. It s a message of love and gratitude for his significant other someone he s utterly smitten with, someone he can t imagine his life without, someone he s ready to hold onto forever. Here’s to forever, the rest of our lives / Me being yours and you being mine / Counting the pennies, wishing for dimes / Here’s to a love that money can’t buy, Green sings in the chorus.
The Cry of the Heart is due out on Aug. 21 through Fat Possum Records.
Smith’s husband, Marty Stuart, produced her new record, and is a songwriter on the project. Though it will be Smith’s first release in 10 years, the Country Music Hall of Fame inductee is described as being “at her finest” on the album in a press release.
Smith keeps with her tradition of poignant songs expressing pain and heartbreak on this album, setting the stage for what is to come with the first single, “Look Out Heart,” co-written by Stuart and his longtime drummer, Harry Stinson. As she explains in a press release, We all have these experiences in our hearts, and I’m trying to identify and communicate with people so they know they’re not alone.
