A Fan-Girl’s Look at Sam Hunt’s Video for “Make You Miss Me”
I'll admit, I follow Sam Hunt on social media. I fan-girl out when it comes to Sam. I'm in love, I'm in love and I don't care who knows it (including my husband who just rolls his eyes at me)! Well, I'm in love with his voice and he's pretty easy on the eyes too. Can I get an AMEN?
When "he" posted his new video for "Make You Miss Me" on Facebook I immediately clicked on it. I'm a fan girl, remember? It's really raw - raw footage and he's accompanying himself on some sort of piano. It was beautiful. I'm not saying that because I'm fan-girling. I mean it.
So, then I started listening to his other acoustic videos and I came up with some common themes about why I respect him as an artist/person and not just a pretty face.
- His voice is flawless without production. It's gentle and feels like... I could listen to it forever. Is there a word for that? I can't think of it. I guess it's just best described in a long sigh followed by an ellipses. Sighhh...
- He writes his own music and his lyrics are typically sweet and respectful. It's not all about girls twerking their butts and getting in his truck. I mean one of his videos tackles domestic abuse. Good guy. Really good guy.
- He's pretty. Wait, I'm fan-girling. Sorry...
- When he speaks, he kind of sounds like Tommy Lee Jones with an "aw shucks" kind of demeanor. That's epic.
- He's wearing a WWJD bracelet in this video. I really hope it's not a What Would Joe Do? bracelet or something stupid like that because I think it's pretty awesome when a celebrity publicly embraces their faith. There's also what looks like an iPhone in the video. I too am an Apple fan. If it's Android - well, I can overlook that.
Anyway, here's the video... I love it, Sam!
No, we are not on a first-name basis. I just like to pretend! One of my co-workers and I are trying to petition Sam to come answer phones at our St. Jude Radiothon next week. Here's to wishes and dreams! Ha!
