Nashville singer-songwriter Langhorne Slim has released a poignant new video for his single “Life Is Confusing” which you simply must see. Everyone loves this song and vid. The clever video puts a comical twist on the polarizing chaos that ensues from the over-the-top news reporting that we are faced with today. In the style of an old TV newscast, Slim and Casey Jane act as serious commentators on a ludicrous yet divisive issue within a small town — what topping will be on the new town hot dog statue, ketchup or mustard? Using this sweet, simplified comparative, the video effortlessly brings home Slim’s message of creating positive change through finding commonalities despite our differences in the world today.
Slim recently spoke to Medium about the track and had this to say about it: “The song took on an undeniable new depth that made it far more powerful and personal, at least to me. I had thought without a doubt the song was about me and Casey Jane (who sings on the track) and maybe it was, but Trump was elected right around the time the record came out and I’ll just say I was very thankful I hadn’t submitted a quote for it.”
