Clayton Anderson's "Let Me Go" is a plea to avoid a broken heart. Still, its accompanying music video is a cinematic retelling that captures the desperation of loving someone and fearing it will end.

"Let Me Go" was written by Anderson, Jimmy Ritchey, Robert Counts and Brian Pruitt, produced by Brandon Hood, and the video was directed by Tim Cofield and produced by Derek Peters.

Anderson shot the video near Chattanooga, Tennessee, and he says it came together quickly. They had a four-day run of shows out of town and then had to fly back to Nashville for wardrobe fittings and then be in Chattanooga the next day to shoot.

"It was all a blur, a miraculous blur," he says. "Everything felt right and had a purpose during shooting, thanks to Tim and his awesome crew. It was a wonderful experience. Shooting the last scene up on Lookout Mountain with one of the coolest sunsets I've ever seen, I just kept trying to take it all in, all the while imagining where this song just might take me. The rain scene was epic too. Well worth ruining my suit and shoes."

Anderson says it's the only video he's ever made where he had no thoughts, edits or critiques.

"It was perfect," he says. "Truly a magical experience from how quickly it came together, to the perfect weather, everything, just such a magical moment."

The video's director understood Anderson's vision immediately and the singer says he always "wanted it to be more of a film than a music video."

"I wanted it to tell a story, hook the viewer, and then move them so much by what they had just watched," he says. "I remember writing the second verse and just imagining what this guy was going through in this moment of pain. There's nothing lonelier than standing on a street corner in the rain all alone without any idea of where you are headed."

He hopes the clip uniquely captivates fans and makes them feel unexpected emotions while watching.

"In the span of about three minutes, I feel we really told a great story with twists and turns along the way that they can read into and decipher how they please.," he says.
