It\u2019s not always in the big picture. But it can always be found \u2014 if you pay attention \u2014 in the little things: coffee, puppies, ice cream cones, and the hand of a five-year-old. You get the idea.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s really all about gratitude and perspective. But it\u2019s not all about mountains and families and those big moments in life. If you really listen to the song, he walks outside and looks at a tree and goes inside and makes coffee,\u201d Bentley told me. \u201cSo it\u2019s about still doing those everyday little things, but changing your perspective on how you look at it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have to do that, too. I know I do. I have to ask myself how I can reshift this entire paradigm \u2014 paradigm, is that even the word? Country singer trying to use a big word! \u2014 so that I look at ways to see the positive and not the negative.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The result? \u201cSame you, different outlook,\u201d he said. \u201cYou just need to find your gratitude.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I also had to ask Bentley where his shy little boy went? The youngest of Bentley\u2019s three kids, Knox seems to have spent the first five years of his life shying away from the camera, and now he is a bona fide natural in front of it. \u201cHe\u2019s not shy anymore. He\u2019s a total pro,\u201d his proud dad said. \u201cHe is a little star. Knox absolutely carried the crew, he carried the vibe, and he carried the whole shoot.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"deferred_content\">Embedded from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sEBio-SbXUQ?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\/sEBio-SbXUQ?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\">[embedded content]<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><\/noscript><\/div>\n<p>As of Wednesday morning (Aug. 28), Bentley has been nominated for three CMA Awards: male vocalist of the year, and both single and music video of the year for his \u201cBurning Man\u201d duet with Brothers Osborne.<\/p>\n<p>And this weekend, he\u2019s headed to Colorado for his second annual Seven Peaks festival for three days of mountains, music, mullets and more.
