Justin Moore’s New Music Video for “If Heaven Weren’t So Far Away”. Rising star Justin Moore, known for his smash hit “Small Town USA“, has completed the music video for the lead single from his sophmore album, “If Heaven Weren’t So Far Away“. The single, released this past February, was well received and immediately popular with fans. It is a soulful song and easy for listeners to relate to, touching on the difficulties of losing loved ones and carrying on their memory. Justin credits his late grandfather, who passed away in 2009, as part of the inspiration for the song. “Everybody, unfortunately, can relate to the lyrics in this song. It’s a part of life. You have to go through losing loved ones…The great thing about this song is that it will make you laugh and cry, and evoke every other emotion you can think of. To me, that’s what Country music is all about. That’s why I make it, love it, and live it.”-Justin Moore Click here to watch the new video now.
