Kenny Chesney released the video today (3/12) for his new song "Knowing You"; it was filmed in New England and St Croix on a boat and in a bar.

Kenny says of the new video, “With all the visual ways people get information it felt like this was a nice way to give people a taste of what’s to come... to let them see and feel everything this song holds, so that they could tell this song and this video is something more.”

He expained, “One of the things about this video I love is the way you can feel the settings and each location – whether in Gloucester, Mass. or the Virgin Islands -- was selected because it feels the way these emotions actually feel. As I’ve said, over and over lately, the people who come into your life and then are gone, it’s for any number of reasons. But beyond missing them, you have the opportunity to recognize what they brought to your life and be thankful.”

Chesney says in the voice over of the video, “Not everything is meant to last...You don’t think about that when it’s perfect. And when it’s over, there’s a huge hole, but there’s also a pair of wings. Those wings are the memories, the laughter, the lessons and the way one person can transform us."
