Jason Aldean - Tattoos on This Town Music Video

After watching this music video, this has me completely in my feels right about now.  Much like my last post, I love this song and listen to it all the time but I had never taken the time to watch the music video.  As I was watching it and hearing the music, it reminded me of so many times, feelings, and people in my life.  When the boy and girl begin to fall in love and they are just having a good old time in the summer in reminded me of the summer leading up to my junior year.  My parents were going through a divorce and my escape from it was hanging out with my friends and girlfriend out in the country just not worrying about a thing.  But as the music video went on, I began to get more and more emotional.  When the guy is going off to war and his girlfriend/wife is crying it made me realize and think about that situation more.  Like even though this is a Jason Aldean music video, this is a real scenario for people out there.  The woman becomes pregnant and the father of their child is killed in combat.  The mother has to raise this young boy by herself now.  The part that really hit me is at the very end when her son has his dad's hat on and looks at the engraving "I love you" on the tree.  When I finished watching it, I prayed not only for all of the brave men and woman that protect this country, but also for all the boys and girls that may never have got to meet their mother or father.  I can not image what that would be like.  In conclusion, this is a very powerful piece and it is super emotional as well.
