Sturgill Simpson Releases 'Brace for Impact (Live a Little)' Video
. Mahurin directed "Brace for Impact (Live a Little)", which intersperses shots of a sepia-toned Simpson with animated images that transform before the viewer's very eyes. A young boy lying asleep in bed quickly ages into a skeletal thing; people drudgingly walk step by step in a line while the Grim Reaper waits for them on the other side; and finally a Rapture-esque ending lifts figures into the sky via beams of light. The images call to mind a hybrid between Salvador Dali's work and the imagery Pink Floyd has used in the past, which works well for a song that has a touch of Pink Floyd about it. "So go and live a little/ Bone turns brittle/ And skin withers before your eyes/ Make sure you give a little/ Before you go to the great unknown in the sky," Simpson sings on the chorus.
