Jelly Roll and Struggle Jennings are no strangers to the trappings of outlaw culture, but in their new video, they’re getting tired of the same old life and trying to make changes. "Fall in the Fall" is a hard-hitting slice-of-life treatment that pulls no punches about the hard life that goes along with drug activity and the dangers involved. The video is shot in a dark, moody style that helps the viewer experience the hopelessness of that world, but it’s not all darkness and despair.
The song "Fall in the Fall" speaks to a soul crying out for help from its darkest moments, emphasizing emotions of helplessness and the desire for change. Jelly Roll explains that the silver lining in the song is the parable of leaves falling in the fall, representing the understanding that life is seasonal. This theme of seasonal change reflects not only in climate but in our emotional experiences as well. Every feeling, whether it’s extreme joy or deep sadness, will eventually run its course; the leaves truly only fall in the fall.
Both artists openly discuss how their real-life experiences influence their themes. Jennings, who was famously incarcerated on drug charges when his first album was released, shares that the video addresses more than just the thug life; it draws parallels between that life and the challenges faced in the music business. Jelly Roll states that the video serves as a metaphor for the scandals and struggles they have faced, both in the streets and within the industry. They aim to clean their spirits and walk away from chaos, showcasing a path to freedom and a fresh start.
