Music Video
The music video begins with Underwood sitting with her military love in a 1965 Chevy Malibu Convertible, both listening to Eddy Arnold's "Make the World Go Away", and trying not to talk about the inevitability of him leaving for war. As she remembers what it would be like to walk down the aisle and marry her sweetheart (we are told on the letter that she is Mrs. Roberts and he is Mr. Roberts), Underwood’s smile and white dress transform into a black mourning dress and tears as she walks down the aisle to her husbands's coffin. The video is made to look like around the time of the Vietnam War, but is actually set in 2008 as the date on the letter she receives states. The letter also states that the husband's first name is Jonathan.

Famous quotes containing the words music and/or video:
“The further jazz moves away from the stark blue continuum and the collective realities of Afro-American and American life, the more it moves into academic concert-hall lifelessness, which can be replicated by any middle class showing off its music lessons.”
—Imamu Amiri Baraka (b. 1934)
“We attempt to remember our collective American childhood, the way it was, but what we often remember is a combination of real past, pieces reshaped by bitterness and love, and, of course, the video past—the portrayals of family life on such television programs as “Leave it to Beaver” and “Father Knows Best” and all the rest.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
