In the heartfelt caption on Instagram, Smith wrote, “Dads Don't Die... they live on through us and with us. Whether you've lost your dad, need to forgive your dad, or miss your dad, this song is for you. Dad, I love you so much. Don't ever leave me”.
Against a golden hour sunset over the ocean, waves lapping the shore and birds quietly soaring out of shot, the ‘Whiskey On You’ singer’s gravelly voice carries the sorrowful chorus.
Nate Smith wistfully reflects, “Dad’s don’t die / They still make you laugh / Still make you cry / Still make you mad / The day it dawns / That you were wrong / And he was right”.
