I never saw the vid, dunno if I want to 'cause I like the song as it is.
Watched the video - one of the few the actually made the song better, gotta admit. Ben Foster is one of the better character actors out there today. Lone Survivor, etc.
Yeah - What he intends the song to be is wasted without the video... It stunned me - I knew the song beforehand, but the vid jacks that song way up.
TOUGH to watch... But WOW. Both barrels, right in the feelz.
