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\u2019s sound.<\/p>\n<p>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 \u201cSouth of Sanity\u201d shines a light on his passion for traditional country music.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Zach Top; Photo Courtesy of YouTube<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>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\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n<p>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\u2019s career keeps him on the road more than at home.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<div class=\"perfmatters-lazy-youtube\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MCJp-n1DpDM\" data-id=\"MCJp-n1DpDM\" data-query=\"feature=oembed\" onclick=\"perfmattersLazyLoadYouTube(this);\">\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"YouTube video\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\" nopin=\"nopin\" class=\"perfmatters-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/MCJp-n1DpDM\/hqdefault.jpg\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/MCJp-n1DpDM\/hqdefault.jpg\" alt=\"YouTube video\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" data-pin-nopin=\"true\" nopin=\"nopin\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><noscript><\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Zach Top - South Of Sanity\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MCJp-n1DpDM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><\/noscript>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p>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.
