The title pretty much says it all: With the release of his new video for “Last Time For Everything,” Brad Paisley just unleashed the music video that I’ve wanted to make for myself since 1985. Indeed, the nostalgia factor is high, from the title sequence and bikes inspired by the Netflix Original Series Stranger Things, to the inclusion of walkie talkies, a boys-only clubhouse, a DeLorean, the Ghostbusters’ Ecto-1, a SONY Walkman commercial, UFOs, dinosaurs, and appearance by my idol, David Hasselhoff and K.I.T.T. from the greatest television series of all-time, Knight Rider. Best of all, the action is all captured in beautiful VHS quality, dated October 26, 1985. But I have to ask… Brad, what’s with the life preserver?
Brad Paisley’s latest album, Love & War, will be released on April 21, 2017 via Sony Music Nashville. Pre-order now.
