BLACK STONE CHERRY - THINGS MY FATHER SAID
You can now watch Black Stone Cherry's poignant video for "Things My Father Said." Follow this link to see it and don't forget to share!

The individual photos featured in the video were taken from photos submitted by fans of the band on BlackStoneCherry.com.

Here is a message from the guys of Black Stone Cherry to YOU:

Hello everyone! We are so extremely pleased to bring you all this video for "Things My Father Said"! Like we've said before, this is not just another run of the mill music video for us. This is a true example of how much family and friends means to not only us band guys, but to everyone around the world. When it came time to make this video, we told the director (Andrew Bennett) that this song was very important to us and we wanted NO outside influence or Hollywood theatrics. We wanted raw emotion and feeling..we wanted normal. He was very understanding and respected our wishes, and as you will see did a terrefic job making it everything it needed to be. But while any director or band would love to take credit for this video, it was YOU that made it magical! Our deep thanks and utmost respect goes out to our family, friends, and fans who showed and submitted their photos for this video. The song speaks for itself, but coupled with the faces of real people showing their appreciaition and honor for their lost loved ones is something truly out of this world and heartwarming. We will probably never make a more real and emotionally powerful video as this and we're okay with that. We've done it this time and once is all we could ask for. So without furthur rambling, we again thank each and every person that had a helping hand in making this video possible as it means so much to us. We hope this song and video will enter the hearts of people all over the world and help them in any way possible. After all, that's what we wrote it for! Spread this song to others and send it to everyone you know. We hope it will make people stop and think and take time to appreciate those living around us, and those who have passed away.

Much love and respect...
BLACK STONE CHERRY

PS..Don't forget to tell the ones you love how much you care for them..before it's too late!

Hey guys, wanted to repeat what I said to you at Manchester UK after the gig. I got the new CD and the song Things My Father Said hit me like a sledgehammer. My father was fit & healthy, so was not expecting anything to happen. Anyways, after hearing the song I 'phoned my father on the Saturday evening and told him how much I loved him, appreciated his help etc. All the stuff you say, but often needs repeating. Monday morning I got a call to inform me that Dad had died suddenly on the golf course from a massive heart attack. The song was played at his funeral and just about blew everyone away. The emotion of the song is so strong. So, anyone reading this, if your father is still alive and well, tell him how much he means to you right now. Don't put it off, or think its a lame thing to do. You may not get another chance. So glad I followed my instincts. Thanks guys, you are truly an inspiration. Much respect, Steve

What a fantastic job you all did on this video. It is a tough topic, but you can feel the emotion in the video. Very well done. I like the people holding the pictures of their loved ones young and old. Also, the pictures from the fansite and your interactions with your own fathers. Life is precious but fleeting with loved ones. Enjoy them while you can.

Wow. This video is very touching in fact it made me cry a little. I love that the band is so down to earth and is family oriented. Listening to BSC is like a breath of fresh air in a time when all you hear are songs about self-destruction and misery. I'm so glad this band has been created. All of the men are wonderful musicians and are incredibly talented. I'd love for them to be together for the next 40 years.

Peace and love,
Alyssa
