Chris Young Directs ‘Drowning’ Video
Chris Young made his directorial debut with the music video for his newest song, “Drowning.” Co-directed with Native 31 Films Producer and Director Jeff Johnson, the clip opens with Young holding a photo of Adam Carnes, his longtime friend whose loss is memorialized in the song’s lyrics.
Young filmed his performance of the song at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas; during the performance, fans raised their phones to light the arena as the performance served to honor the victims and fellow survivors of Route 91 Harvest Festival.
Young says, “I’ve been so amazed at the reaction to this song. I wrote it with two friends as a moment of healing and had no idea it would touch so many people before it was even chosen as a single. The video, combining so many personal moments alongside a live performance, totally embodies that and I can’t wait for everyone to see it.”
He posted to Instagram last night, “Had fun chatting with you guys before the premiere of the music video for ‘Drowning.'”
