His co-writers for the song, Andy Albert and Andrew Roberts, were among the fans, representatives from his record label and other members of the local music community in attendance.<\/p>\n<p>There is no telling how many fumes were inhaled during the making of the dramatic black and white piece. Director Justin Clough filmed Dawson as two characters \u2014 one as a beaten-up criminal getting charged and the other as the artist he is \u2014 to show the comparisons between putting one\u2019s life on the line in the interrogation room and in the recording studio.<\/p>\n<p>At one point during the video, the criminalized Dawson bleeds on his polygraph test.<\/p>\n<div class=\"deferred_content\">Embedded from <a href=\"http:\/\/media.mtvnservices.com\/embed\/mgid:arc:video:cmt.com:f425fc56-7098-44b2-940f-fc1a66b8b92c\">media.mtvnservices.com<\/a>. <noscript class=\"deferred_content\" data-deferred-info=\"{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;iframe&quot;}\"> <\/noscript><\/div>\n<p>\u201c[Clough\u2019s] vision was to play on the parallels and the similarities between an interrogation room and a recording studio,\u201d Dawson told the crowd. \u201cAnd there are so many similarities that I never noticed between those two.

A haunting autobiographical ballad, it\u2019s inspired by his friends\u2019 observations on his behaviors.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can\u2019t see certain things that your best friends see in you like the fact I don\u2019t smile in pictures,\u201d he said. \u201cYou think I wrote that about myself? I don\u2019t know that.
