Dierks Bentleys third single off his album The Mountain, Living, is formed around a simple carpe diem message: live well, or youre really just getting by. Its a theme that Bentley teaches to his 5-year-old song Knox or perhaps the other way around in his new video for the song.
Set in Bentleys backyard and at various every-kids-dream locales (a water park, a go-kart track, a laser tag arena), the clip highlights the singers evolved persona: from fun-loving dude to fun-loving dad.
Living certainly celebrates lifes big moments and adventures, but for me its even more about being intentional and present in everyday moments, Bentley said in a statement. Knox is at that age where he can still find the biggest joy in the smallest things, and that childlike appreciation for life is the spirit I wanted to bring to this video to remind us of difference between just being alive and actually living.
Bentley co-wrote Living with Ross Copperman, Ashley Gorley and Jon Nite, and the song arrives as the follow-up to his latest Number One on the Mediabase chart, Burning Man, a collaboration with Brothers Osborne. Hell perform this weekend at the Country Thunder Arizona festival in his home state, before resuming his tour on May 30th.
