The vocal performance really hits and you can tell looking at him that he feels every bit of what he sings. A mix of anger, frustration, sadness, but also strength and hope. It's where a lot of people are at right now.
Also a big shout out to radiowv for doing an excellent job of capturing his voice on that recording, getting an effective and natural angle on the video (looking up so we can see the details of the pain in his face, handheld vs. tripod, him not looking at the camera directly) and basically nullifying the need for an artificial new take down the line.
It turns the song into a sort of confessional that we are witness to. Made all the more potent because we are all party to these "sins".
The video and performance are perfect as is. Hope he stays away from Nashville and the big-stage lifestyle.
It's just something about those guys from Appalachian for me. I listen to a few from mainly Kentucky. Ten years ago I would not have listened because it's too bluegrass.
