Kris Allen takes the universal message of living everyday to the fullest and makes it undeniably catchy in the first single from his self-titled debut album, “Live Like We’re Dying.”
In the video for the single, shot in a junkyard at a remote desert in Los Angeles, the American Idol season 8 winner shows his versatility as an artist going from smooth crooner with a mic, playing his guitar, then belting at his piano, all in front of one mega-sized countdown clock.
“The idea behind it is that I plug in the clock and I’m pulling the big cord through the junkyard and through all these other things and then I plug in the clock and it starts counting down to zero,” Allen told Popeater of the video. “In the end when it hits zero, it’s kind of like the song, it’s like we only have so much time so we gotta do what we want to do.”
Don’t let time run out on you before you pick up Allen’s album, in stores November 17.
