Lady Antebellum We Owned The Night Video

Lady Antebellum’s “We Owned The Night” Video Is Here! It seems like only yesterday Lady Antebellum released the video for “Just A Kiss“, but yet this busy trio has done it again. The music video for “We Owned The Night” was released earlier this week and we have it here for you to watch! The song and video is simply about a perfect night! Doesn’t matter what happened before or what happens after, living in the moment is the focus of these lyrics! The video is basically one huge party with people who are living by Lady A’s new motto of owning the night! Who doesn’t love a night full of dancing and fireworks?! Listen to this song a couple times and you will probably be looking at this weekend with whole list of new possibilities!

Jason Aldean Tattoos On This Town Video

Jason Aldean’s Music Video For Tattoos On This Town Turns On The Waterworks. Jason Aldean has released the music video for his latest single “Tattoos On This Town“. The song is a classic story of growing up in a small town and how the youth find their own ways to have fun and leave their mark. The video is probably one of the saddest things I’ve seen in a good while. It gave me chills from the very beginning and tears by the end. It is a traggic tale that many families know too well. There isn’t much to say other than WATCH IT! Aldean has had a very successful year with sales, tours, charts, video countdowns and growing numbers of fans! I’m sure this song and video will help keep all those stats on the positive! You can find this song, as well as “My Kinda Party“, “Dirt Road Anthem“, “See You When I See You“, “Fly Over States“, “Don’t You Wanna Stay“, plus many more on his latest album My Kinda Party.

Steel Magnolia Bulletproof Video

The Steel Magnolia’s Music Video For Bulletproof Is Here. The Steel Magnolia’s newest single “Bulletproof” is a little ditty about someone who “acts” like they aren’t sad about a recent failed relationship. Even Meghan Linsey’s strong voice gives a little inclination that the person in these lyrics might not be so un-shakable. If you have to tell yourself you’re bulletproof, how bulletproof can you really be? Either way the song is great! Since the beginning Meghan and Joshua Scott Jones have had amazing chemistry together (“Keep On Lovin’ You“, “Last Night Again“) and this time is no different. I have a feeling the engaged duo has a chart climber on their hands! Tags: Bulletproof, Steel Magnolia, Steel Magnolia Videos
