@benbbarton (continued) Perhaps because it IS metaphorical I feel the visual presence of the bag is unwarranted and perhaps even insinuates the idiocy of those who were to watch the video.... By this I mean if Kasey and Shane dragged a sack of stuff I would assume they think I'm stupid not to just know that the phrase is referring to the hardships of life.
@illusionsfan1 Sadly what I fear you fail to notice or understand is that the story that is shown here with the traveler with his bag holds a dual purpose. It is a metaphor for the obvious and also a necessary prop for the story. This can represent not only his burdens but also his survival essentials. It's a play on the lyric and the story.
@daveyhurst .... that IS precisely why I think that's insulting to viewers. You assume because I don't want to accept the visual act of "dragging this bag of stones til they bury me down" for a worded metaphor that I am actually less understanding. Plus I'm a huge Kasey and Shane fan so I also have to point out when I see someone carrying a bag when the song specifically says dragging then the bag is obviously not (METAPHORICALLY) full of burdens nor survival essentials. But then what do I know?
@benbbarton (I pushed reply for the first part instead of post.) I was never insulting someone's opinion I didn't call them stupid, blind or wrong I merely pointed out the song is metaphorical and therefore the carrying of the bones makes less sense to me.
@benbbarton That would be because the song is very metaphorical... and as it is Kasey and Shanes clip is actually very beautiful. So to me... the actual carrying of the bag of stones actually makes less sense.
good video

@illusionsfan1 Unfortunately you have missed the point of the story being told.

I think this looks better and makes much more sense than the actual Kasey Chambers & Shane Nicholson music video.......

@illusionsfan1 The bag is also a metaphor in this video. Its a much more literal picture of ones burdens and sins.
