Granger Smith is celebrating one year since filming one of his music videos โ and he shared a gruesome throwback photo to remember it. Smith released the video for โHate You Like I Love Youโ last year, bringing a story to life of a man who doesnโt โwanna care anymoreโ after losing the woman he loves:
โIโm just tryinโ to hate you like I love you/ Not want you like I need you/ Forget you like I miss you/ All of the time Iโm just tryinโ to/ Let go like I hold tight/ Sell myself a bad lie/ Whatever I gotta do/ Girl Iโm just tryinโ to hate you like I love youโ
Smith took to Instagram on Friday (January 28) to share a few throwback pics from filming the music video, including one with his wife, Amber Smith, who stars in it. Photos show Smith with scars over his face after wrecking his truck in a fiery crash. Smith recalled the harrowing story he told through โHate You Like I Love Youโ:
โOne year ago I was driving my truck down a frigid highway and swerved to miss my dead wife sitting in the middle of the road. Or maybe it was a deer. Either way, I flipped my truck and then it caught fire. But then I needed to get back in the fiery truck, and then guess who? Yep, my dead wife showed up again just to mess with my head. Itโs crazy after only one year how well Iโm doing since that traumatic experienceโฆ And by traumatic, I mean the coldest music video shoot ever!โ
It might sound like a dark story, but Amber seems to be on board with working with her husband again: โI seem to haunt you a lot. Maybe Iโll do that again soon,โ she commented with a winking emoji. Watch the Smiths star in the fiery music video here:
