Watch “Things We Don’t Talk About” the New Music Video from Casey Edgar

Have you ever felt it’s a little harder to talk to family than a stranger? As someone who spends a lot of time at coffee shops, I find it easy to initiate a conversation. Why? Because I don’t know anything about the person. Yet, with family, you know everything, even the things you don’t want to. If your family is anything like mine, you will often find yourself navigating through conversations at the dinner table like a soldier in a minefield. This feeling is at the heart of “Things We Don’t Talk About,” the new music video from Casey Edgar.

We can all agree that no one is perfect. However, those imperfections are less apparent in a person ordering an Americano at a coffee shop. With family, things are different. Most problems feel more like a chip in a windshield. At first, it’s insignificant. However, seeing that chip every day at some point will drive you mad. Not only that, but you don’t want to talk about it. Why? Because then you will have to fix it. Families have problems big and small. Yet, most of us try our damnedest to tuck them away. It’s easier to do that than face those problems head-on.

In today’s world, Country music needs more songs like “Things We Don’t Talk About.” Party songs are great, but all they do is numb the things we don’t want to talk about, just like a shot of novocaine. This direction is far from the origins of this genre. Country music was an outlet so that you could feel something and work through emotions in a way where you didn’t feel alone. Casey Edgar has the proper take on modern country music. His latest single and video gets our asses off tailgates and forces us to take on life and all its problems head-on as a real man should.

Casey Edgar is a fresh face here at Southern Fellow, but if he keeps releasing songs like “Things We Don’t Talk About,” he will be a household name soon. I don’t do too many music video premieres these days, but I could not resist this one. After you want this video, I know each one of you will feel something. Whether you act on it or not is up to you, but know that you are not alone. Everyone else who watches this video is going to feel something too.
