When you listen to Drew Parker‘s song “While You’re Gone” you get one experience…
When you watch the music video — you get an entirely different one.
First, when it comes to the track, Drew shares, ““I wrote this song with my good buddy Jameson Rodgers, and we sat down and just wanted to kind of chase what we thought was an ode to 90s country…and what we felt like a lyric from the 90s would sound like.”
Drew adds, “You know, most people listen to this song, they probably listen to it as a sad song…let’s use the video to visually say ‘Hey, this is kind of a funny song.’ There’s the aspect that you can listen to this and laugh a little bit that this guy’s so delirious that he’s going to sit there and drink until he rots away, until this girl never comes back. So there’s always been this sad, slightly funny story about this song.”
So, when it came to the music video, Drew says “Everybody loves a good plot twist, right?”
We’re not going to give it away — but you can discover it for yourself here – the music video for Drew Parker’s “While You’re Gone.”

There’s a lot of powerful country music songs that mean a lot to many people, but over the last 20 years there’s probably one that touched everyone in a special way – “Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning)” by Alan Jackson.
Alan wrote the song just weeks after the tragic events of September 11th 2001, and played it for the very first time at the CMA Awards, on November 7th of that year.
While he was hesitant to even record it at first, since then Alan has realized that “Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning)” is a comfort to many, many people…and with the 20th anniversary of 9/11 coming up, the song’s importance is as strong as ever.
During the 2021 National Memorial Day Concert, actor and former firemen Steve Buscemi narrated a segment that reflected on the lives lost on that day in September…
Following that presentation, Alan performed his iconic song “Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning)”…

Justin Moore knows what it means to honor the men and woman who sacrificed their all for our nation.
Justin says, “To have that inside you, that thing that you’re willing to put your life on the line or at risk because you want to save, help, etc. other people, because that’s more important to you, now that’s very, very special. I wish I had more of that in me. If we could only bottle that up and give it to everybody, myself included, this world would be a much better place.”
When he record his number-1 song “The Ones That Didn’t Make It Back Home” Justin shares, “I learned with ‘The Ones That Didn’t Make It Back Home,’ in particular, that all we hear all the time, is all the bad stuff. But there is so much good out there and so much love out there. It just don’t sell newspapers. It don’t sell advertising, so we don’t hear about it. But having the chance to travel around the country and meet people who do just extraordinary things on a daily basis, I wish people got to see that more. You know, you look at even the front line healthcare workers over the last year. I mean I’ve got some in my family even. The positions that they’re willing to put themselves in to get us through some unbelievably difficult times is really, really special.”
Justin adds, “For any time it went unsaid or felt like to our veterans that it went unnoticed what they do and have done for us, God bless you. We appreciate you more than you know. I had one grandfather in the Navy [and] another in the Air Force, so it was instilled in me at an early age to respect those men and women, you know, because of the sacrifices that they make on a daily basis are what keep us free and safe and the greatest country in the world.”
