EPIC. This is how you bring a song to life. Chris Stapleton is lighting up the sky with the release of his “White Horse” music video. Fresh off a handful of Grammy nominations last week—Best Country Song (“A Song To Sing” with Miranda Lambert), Best Country Solo Performance (“Bad As I Used To Be”) and two nods in the Best Country Duo/Group Performance category (“A Song To Sing” with Lambert and “Honky Tonk Hall of Fame” with George Strait)—Chris Stapleton kicked off this week with a teaser for his latest music video, “White Horse,” featuring Oscar-nominated actor Josh Brolin, as well as Mae McKagan, Tommy Martinez, and guest appearances by Stapleton and his wife and collaborator, Morgane. Directed by Running Bear Films, the cinematic video was shot in the desert of Marfa, Texas. Miranda Lambert recently shared on the Joe Rogan Experience that Marfa is a very magical place, and that there is something special in the air—which appears to ring true with the stunning visuals captured in the “White Horse” music video. Running Bear’s Stephen Kinigopoulos and Alexa King Stone share: “Listening to ‘White Horse’ over and over again, we visualized a couple on the run and wanted to add some complexity with the parental sheriff relationship between Mae and Josh’s characters. What was just going to be an action-packed love story, also became a story about letting go and trust.” The Bonnie and Clyde-inspired love story between Mae McKagan and Tommy Martinez brings the opening lyrics to life as they are fugitives on the run. However, just as described by the Running Bear team, the plot thickens when viewers find out that Josh Brolin’s cop character is the father of the Bonnie-inspired character. The internal battle the Sheriff faces — knowing he needs to serve and protect while also wanting to keep his child safe and out of the correctional system, hoping that she will one day come home — the tension culminates when the two meet face to face in the desert, on his daughter’s wedding day as he officially sends her off to a life on the run. The story is thrilling, heartbreaking, and keeps you on the edge of your seat. The “White Horse” music video is cinematic excellence. Turn it all the way up.
