So when Blake Shelton shared a look at what it was like to make his brand new \u201cGod\u2019s Country\u201d video, in a five-minute video of its own, I was all ears.<\/p>\n<p>First he admits that he was a little bit nervous about asking world-renowned video director Sophie Muller to be part of the project. And once she said yes, he was nervous again to bring the London-based Muller out to Oklahoma. \u201cShe\u2019s a gunslinger of a video maker. She even cusses,\u201d Shelton says. \u201cShe song is so, so country, and I didn\u2019t know if she would get it or not. She fell in love with the song.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It was Muller\u2019s idea to let the video tell the story not just of the land God created, but also the wrath of God. \u201cShe started thinking of these man-made disasters that happened here in Oklahoma. This is God\u2019s country, and He can take it back any time he wants to. The good and the bad, they all come together and they\u2019re all important when you\u2019re talking about a song like this. That\u2019s why I love the line in the song, \u2019Got a deed to the land but it ain\u2019t my ground. It\u2019s God\u2019s country.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven if you own a piece land, you\u2019re just borrowing it,\u201d he says, \u201cbecause it\u2019s all God\u2019s country.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"deferred_content\">Embedded from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/x2wqFZ3fOc8?feature=oembed\">www.youtube.com<\/a>. <noscript class=\"deferred_content\" data-deferred-info=\"{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;iframe&quot;}\"><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/x2wqFZ3fOc8?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\">[embedded content]<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><\/noscript><\/div>\n<div class=\"author\">\n<div class=\"description\">Alison makes her living loving country music.
