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

@illusionsfan1 (That's insulting to me)

[illusionsfan1]

@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?

[daveyhurst]

@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.

@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.

[illusionsfan1]

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

Love going back and watching this. Does the song so much more justice than the original video.

Yes it's a METAPHOR, so don,t insult one's opinion. illusionfan1!!!
