A Valentine's Day Gift from Brad Paisley

A perfect Country moment to share with your 'Boo Bear', 'Punkin', 'Love Muffin'. Angel Baby or whatever pet name you have for your 'Sugar Cookie' Enjoy "Go to bed Early" AND the hysterical story below of how Brad created a funny video for his Visual album too performing on a Sleep Number bed! He cracks me up!

The video for “Go to Bed Early,” where you walk through a mall and end up playing a concert in a Sleep Number store was one way of solving the problem of how you were going to do a video about sleeping with someone. It looks like the reactions really are that spontaneous.I haven’t been in a mall in a while. I remember calling my manager eight or 10 years ago saying “Well, you’ve done a good job,” because I had gone in the Cool Springs Mall, where we filmed this, incognito, and I remember getting on the escalator and realizing that people were looking out of stores at me all the way down. You’re a sitting duck in a mall if you’re a celebrity. It’s like that scene from ‘Guarding Tess,’ I think it is, where Shirley MacLaine goes to the mall just to feel good about her celebrity. Word spreads in this fishbowl. I said, “I think what’s really funny is, this is a really sexy song. But what if there’s just a banner that says ‘Free live music, 5 p.m.,’ in the Sleep Number store, and then I just walk in.” We ended up filming that on Good Friday, so it was packed. All that’s real. We didn’t really re-do it. None of us noticed any of the reactions in the moment. Like, I didn’t notice the way the girls reacted when I took their waffle fries. I might as well have been the Easter bunny.

To watch "Go To bed Early" skip to 13:36 into Brad's Visual Album. It's Hysterical and Romantic all at once!
