Gary Allan offers a story of hope in the music video for his hopeful and uplifting anthem, "Every Storm (Runs Out Of Rain)," the lead single from his upcoming ninth studio album, "Set You Free," due January 22nd, and gave journalists the news at a private album preview in Nashville recently. The album title comes from a line in the song, which the singer explained is indicative of the theme of the entire LP. "Every storm runs out of rain," said Allan, "so I think that's what this album is about, is me coming up for air."
Allan, whose work has been dominated by songs of pain and loss, tries on optimism with his new tune "Every Storm (Runs Out of Rain)," and surprisingly, it fits. The master of melancholy may be turning over a new leaf with his upcoming project, and Allan says that theme carries over into the entire project. It is a song of hope and inspiration to anyone staring at trouble or tragedy, and is borderline inspirational with his unique style and ability to mix gravel with rose petals that makes him such a treasured original.
It's been a while since I've heard Allan but now dipping his toes into the haunting ballad pool for this single, the 45-year-old California native brings oodles of charisma to a melodic heartbreak of a story that uses a storm as a metaphor for the life of a relationship. The metaphor isn't an original one, but much like paintings of famous landscapes, it's this singer's original perspective that grabs one’s attention. His memorable melody also helps, but it's the story of a man fighting through sorrow we'll remember from this new hit.
The music video was directed by Stephen Shepherd and filmed at an old slaughterhouse in East Nashville. It follows a young woman is grieving the loss of her lover, and going through a difficult time, at one point even submerging herself in a bathtub. Allan and his band perform the song in the pouring rain between shots of Allan after the storm has cleared. The clip ends with a heartwarming twist for the woman in peril. The clip has a second purpose to encourage fans to make contributions to the Red Cross that will offer some real hope to victims of Hurricane Sandy.
