The pair, who look to be at home in the black-and-white clip, also take turns on some lines on a verse. Written by Brett Beavers and Chris Stapleton, the Bryan-fronted track was a hit back in 2014, when it topped Billboard\u2019s Country Airplay chart for two weeks.<\/p>\n The video also includes a photo of the Aldeans at Kirk\u2019s memorial service<\/a> on Sept. 21 in Glendale, Arizona, which featured speakers including President Donald Trump. It\u2019s not the first tribute Jason Aldean has paid to Kirk. At his show in Detroit the day after his late friend was killed, he honored Kirk with a two-minute speech, where he called Kirk \u201can amazing person\u201d and \u201cone of the best people ever,\u201d as The Detroit Free Press<\/a> <\/em>reported.<\/p>\n The Aldeans\u2019 song remembrance is among many that have come in the wake of the far-right influencer\u2019s death, and the tribute songs are racking up huge numbers<\/a> on the charts. Kirk was the co-founder of\u00a0Turning Point USA<\/a>, which was formed to foster a culture of conservatism on school campuses around the nation.<\/p>\n Best of Rolling Stone<\/strong><\/p>\n Sign up for RollingStone’s Newsletter<\/a>.
