Zach Top takes fans on a scenic journey in the brand-new music video for his emotionally charged song, “South Of Sanity.”

Set among the stunning backdrop of the views of The Gorge Amphitheatre in George, Washington, the video blends soulful performance shots with candid moments from life on the road. The result is a video as free-spirited and authentic as the song itself, which perfectly captures the essence of the rising neo-traditional country star’s sound.

Top features snapshots of his down time backstage, meeting fans and preparing to take the stage in front of a massive crowd of screaming ticket holders. As soon as he steps under the bright lights alongside his band members, Top proceeds to command the stage as the powerful story behind “South of Sanity” shines a light on his passion for traditional country music.

Co-written by Zach Top with Carson Chamberlain and Mark Nesler, the deeply moving track delves into the struggle of a man trying to balance his career the spotlight, his love life, and the act of keeping it all together mentally on stage while he’s actually crumbling on the inside. Top captures the toll that performing can have on a person, especially while having to hide personal pain behind a stage-ready smile.

The song begins by placing the main character at a rodeo in Montana while his romantic partner is 2000 miles away. Both he and his other half find themselves struggling to sustain the long-distance relationship as Top’s career keeps him on the road more than at home.

The couple vividly expresses their longing to be together, and as the chorus hits, Top feels his heart start to break as the woman on the other end of the phone realizes she may have to call it quits on their love story. Despite the sadness, Top still has a duty to fulfill on stage.

He sings, “I’m somewhere outside of Missoula /They just called my name from the stage/ When we hung up she was talking leavin’ /Now how I’m supposed to sing and play/ She’s left me somewhere south of sanity/ Still just north of insane.”

“South Of Sanity” once again showcases the Sunnyside, WA, native’s knack for keeping traditional country music alive with his classic sound reminiscent of timeless acts who came before him.
