Kacey Musgraves shared the music video for “The Architect” off her critically acclaimed album from 2024, Deeper Well. The song has received nominations for Best Country Song and Best Country Solo Performance at the upcoming Grammy Awards in 2025.
The video for “The Architect” is described as ‘complementing the song’s introspective themes of beauty, chaos and the search for higher meaning. Set against the backdrop of forests, cascading waterfalls and star-filled skies, the video presents a serene visual experience.’
Musgraves wrote “The Architect” with collaborators Shane McAnally and Josh Osborne in Nashville, shortly after the Covenant School Shooting. Speaking at a recent Grammy Museum performance, Musgraves said, “around the time or a couple of weeks after the insane Covenant School Shooting that happened there, and the community was just reeling and it felt just so off and scary. And you know, we got together to write a song, and we even felt guilty just being able to meet up and write a song and get to do something so pleasant as that when something so crazy had just happened. It sparked this very real conversation about life and how it’s really confusing how there’s so much suffering– there’s also so much beauty at the same time, so it’s this great weird duality of being a human, especially in these modern times.”
