Midland – Burn Out
Midland – Burn Out (2018)
Directed by: TK McKamy Cameron Duddy
Burn Out is a poignant track by American country band Midland, released on April 9, 2018, as the third single from their debut album *On the Rocks*. The song was co-written by band members Mark Wystrach, Cameron Duddy, and Jess Carson, alongside Shane McAnally and Josh Osborne. It delves into themes of heartbreak and the lingering pain of lost love, using the metaphor of a cigarette burning out to symbolize fading relationships. The music video, directed by TK McKamy and Midland’s own Cameron Duddy, was filmed in a single continuous take at Billy Bob’s Texas in Fort Worth. The visual narrative pays homage to the 1980 film *Urban Cowboy*, featuring lead singer Mark Wystrach in a scene reminiscent of the movie’s iconic bar setting.
