"Whiskey Lullaby" is a song written by Bill Anderson and Jon Randall and performed by Brad Paisley and Allison Krauss. It is a song about a couple who divorce and eventually kill themselves because they miss each other so much. The full length music video is set in the 1940-50's. It starts out with a man arriving home from the Army, he walks into his house and looks at the pictures of him and his wife on the wall and has a flashback to a moment of them underneath a Weeping Willow. He starts to hear laughter upstairs and walks up expecting to find his wife alone, but she is in bed with another man, he leaves her and the song starts. The first verse of the song in the video shows the man drinking and getting drunk over and over, and not being able to get his wife off his mind. He eventually gets so drunk that he kills himself, and during the first chorus, it shows his funeral and his wife crying. The second verse of the song in the video shows the wife drinking a lot and going out with guys, there is a scene in which the wife pushes a man out of the room and starts to drink whiskey straight from the bottle. That part of the video shows how she really blamed herself for his death and that whiskey is the only thing that can make her feel even a little better. Just before the second chorus there's a shot of her at the man's grave crying and drinking. When the chorus starts, it cuts to her funeral and people crying and once the song eventually gets done, a little girl is looking back at the graves and seeing them alive and hugging and kissing and falling in love again.
