Derich (the director\/videographer), myself, and my son Hudson were the only ones in the room. <\/p>\n<p>I brought Hudson along because he is always so intrigued and excited about each and every piece that goes into my journey as an artist and I knew he would love experiencing it with me. I wanted this video to be so unique and so raw, because the lyrics are so special \u2014 it was important that they were the focus.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How does the video bring your song to life?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The lyrics of this song tell the story, as does my emotion when I sing it. Writing this song was incredibly emotional for me. I sobbed the entire time we were writing it, because it\u2019s my story and I really wanted that to come out in the video. Each and every word, every phrase and every moment of this song have so much meaning. <\/p>\n<p>Its complete rawness and truth about the relationship I share with my husband and the questions we have asked one another. So many people ask one another what life would look like had they done things differently. I feel like it\u2019s such a hard conversation, but something that needs to be said. I believe the rawness and intimacy in the video brings that to life. It makes it so real.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What message do you hope your fans take away from the video?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I truly think people ask themselves the \u201cWhat if?\u201d question often. I know I do. I really hope they are able to see that life takes turns and has all kinds of dead-ends and new beginnings along the way. Each and every moment leads us where we are today, and it\u2019s no mistake.<\/p>\n<p>Each hardship brings growth. I am confident I wouldn\u2019t be the woman, wife, or mother I am today had I not endured the hard stuff. I hope they are able to take away that whatever it may be they\u2019re going through, it\u2019s gonna come around and they will come out stronger in the end.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How did it feel to see the finished product for the first time?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>My husband and I both sat and bawled our eyes out. I had an image of exactly what I wanted it to look like and sound like. I wanted to FEEL the song when I watched the video, and I absolutely did. I\u2019m so grateful to have this piece of such a special song.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>Songwriters: Britnee Kellogg, Tori Tuiller, Cary Samsel; Directors: Britnee Kellogg &amp; Derich Hartfeil <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cmt.com\/news\/1819042\/britnee-kellogg-asks-the-big-questions-in-10-years-ago\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: CMT News<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by CMT.com Staff 11m ago Britnee Kellogg knows that sometimes it takes a mistake to know how much a heart breaks.
