Ella Langley Unveils Real Meaning Of Ring That Sparked Engagement Rumors

Ella Langley considers how her life could’ve turned out differently if it weren’t for her free-spirited lifestyle in her “weren’t for the wind” music video. The cinematic storytelling visual premiered on Tuesday (March 25).

Langley’s video arrives about a week after she posted a sneak peek that stirred engagement rumors. Eagle-eyed Instagram commenters pointed out the stunning ring Langley wore as she played her guitar; however, the Country Music Association Award winner clarified she’s “married to my job.”

“Maybe that plane wouldn’t ever take off/ Maybe that dust wouldn’t fly off the drive/ Maybe that tumbleweed and me wouldn’t leave every other sunrise/ Maybe I’d settle down dig in some roots/ Find me a farmhouse find me you/ Maybe I wouldn’t be already gone again/ If it weren’t for the wind”

The video, directed by Langley and Wales Toney, opens with the quote, “growing out of the person you were, into the person you are now.” Langley’s love interest pops the question early in the music video, and the bride-to-be begins planning the wedding with her fiancé. By the end of the story, however, the trailblazing singer-songwriter makes a discovery that prompts her to leave the engagement ring behind and chase her dreams instead.

Langley’s “weren’t for the wind” appeared on still hungover, the 19-track deluxe edition of the Alabama-born country star’s debut album. The record also includes “hungover,” “better be tough,” “you look like you love me” with Riley Green, and more. “Weren’t for the wind” was the first track to release from the extended album.
