Sturgill Simpson Contemplates Death In His “Brace For Impact (Live A Little)” Video

Matt Mahurin directed Sturgill Simpson's new clip, which serves as the first visual from the singer's forthcoming album. The video is filled with reminders of mortality: a tombstone, a skull in a birthday hat, the grim reaper. We're dying to live, living to die, no matter what you believe, sings Simpson. And all of us cry for the ones we must leave.

Watch above, and look for A Sailor's Guide To Earth—written "from the perspective of a sailor going to sea and not knowing if he's ever coming home"—on April 15.
