Machine Gun Kelly and Jelly Roll share John Denver-inspired single ‘Lonely Road’
Machine Gun Kelly and Jelly Roll have shared the music video for their new collaboration, ‘Lonely Road’.The track, which nods to the John Denver classic with a reworked chorus, was worked on by the pair for 2 years, according to a post made by Kelly on Instagram last Wednesday (July 24).“8 different studios, 4 different countries, changed the key 4 times, and this Friday you’ll hear we finally got it right,” he wrote.The Sam Cahill directed video features Jelly Roll and Kelly as down on their luck mechanics, alongside their partners, Bunnie XO and Megan Fox. In a bid to support his pregnant wife, Kelly robs a bank – while Jelly Roll refuses to get involved with a life of crime.As well as touching on a reliance on alcohol in its lyrics – “When the days feel long and the nights get cold/And I’m thousands of miles away/I use alcohol just to fill that hole/ Will our home ever be the same?” – the video also touches on fertility issues, with Bunnie XO seen clutching a letter with an infertility diagnosis on it.It’s a topic personal to both couples in the video.
