About the “Long Ride Home” Music Video
Brilliantly directed by Jay Arcansalin who has credits with modern industry giants like Mike Posner and Imagine Dragons, the “Long Ride Home” video heartbreakingly captures the grief and regret accompanied by losing a loved one. The video opens with a black and white depiction of a man getting into a vintage looking funeral car driving down a winding graveyard path while Griffin’s lyrics paint a similar picture. SAVNT’s rich and soulful voice floats over a solo guitar progression highlighting the emotional journey of the man on screen as we see a tear roll down his cheek while laying flowers down on a grave. The video then cuts over to SAVNT leaning against the same car in the opening shot where he remains throughout the video as if he is giving a nod to his own loss while singing Griffin’s heart wrenching lyrics. His voice moves from soft and solemn to powerful as the rest of the band comes in and the story moves to the man ruminating on his life with his loved one. Griffin’s light and airy voice is finally revealed in the second verse as she duets with SAVNT to create a beautifully blended tone between the two. The video ends just as it begins with a wailing fiddle fading out to leave the listener with a simple guitar and a feeling of emptiness looming in their hearts. If you’ve ever had the misfortune of losing a loved one, Ghost Hounds cover of “Long Ride Home” will give you the cathartic cry you need and leave you wanting more.
