5 Man-Excuses for Crying During Stapleton's Latest Video

There's no way around the fact that Chris Stapleton's music video for "Fire Away" is heart wrenching, poignant, and everything a sad country song is supposed to be. The video, directed by Tim Mattia, covers the risky topics of mental illness and suicide. A link to Change Direction, a non-profit that addresses the warning signs of emotional suffering, is provided at the end of the video.

It's important to your average man to have a handy list of reasons for the watery eyes the video is sure to cause. Finding Country has provided a helpful list below.

There's dust in my eyes. A reliable, albeit overused one. It's important to be in a location that actually contains dust when using this one, otherwise it's credibility will be pretty much shot.
Fake injury. It's far better to be suspected of weeping over a severe injury, rather than a touching music video. Make sure the injury is impressive, but reasonable. A broken ankle is the perfect balance of severity and believability , whereas internal hemorrhaging might go a little too far.
Death in the family. Crying for an aunt who's passed on is far more manly than weeping over the wrenching story. Use a fake relative, otherwise it can be extremely awkward when the person in question shows up at the next family reunion.
There's a leak in the roof, and it's landing on my eyes. This should be only used as a last resort. To be honest, we're running out of excuses.
Just tell the truth. It's okay to get a little watery eyed. It's a damn good video and song.

Jason Isbell Releases the Funniest Sad Song Ever on Colbert

Alt-Country singer/songwriter Jason Isbell went onto The Late Show with Stephen Colbert with what he called the "Saddest song ever." Covering topics such as dogs dying (10,000 of them to be exact, even sadder.), alcoholism and drinking "The devil's brown liquor", and tragic cannon accidents.

The video is yet another example of alternative country music entering not only the mainstream music industry, but into popular culture as well.
