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:
“For do but note a wild and wanton herd
Or race of youthful and unhandled colts
Fetching mad bounds, bellowing and neighing loud,
Which is the hot condition of their blood;
If they but hear perchance a trumpet sound,
Or any air of music touch their ears,
You shall perceive them make a mutual stand,
Their savage eyes turned to a modest gaze
By the sweet power of music.”
—William Shake{peare (1564–1616)
“These people figured video was the Lord’s preferred means of communicating, the screen itself a kind of perpetually burning bush. “He’s in the de-tails,” Sublett had said once. “You gotta watch for Him close.””
—William Gibson (b. 1948)
