Nashville, TN (October 14, 2013) - Virginia troubadour Mike Aiken's newest video, "Dance With The Wind," premieres worldwide today on THE BOOT. Aiken was inspired to write the song when a friend asked him, "what makes a love affair last?" Mike's 20th wedding anniversary certainly played a part in his ability to answer that question. "This one is, without a doubt, for my wife Amy," he admits. Aiken and co-writer Tim Buppert ("She's Sure Taking It Well," "Another Nine Minutes") invoked romance by framing the touching and heartfelt lyrics around a waltz tempo. "I don't think anything is more romantic than three-quarter time," adds Aiken. "It just takes you back to a simpler period." To ensure that the song's feeling translated to video, Mike's crew dug deep and unearthed incredible archival footage of Norfolk, Virginia's Ocean View Amusement Park that is featured in the song.  Beachside performance vignettes are interspersed with vibrant images of carousels, carnival rides and happy couples to create a unique and visually-resonating portrait. "This is the best anniversary gift ever," blushes Amy Aiken. "I'm a lucky girl. Our life is a dance that never ends." The "Dance With The Wind" single ships to Country radio today via CDX VOL. 581. The track is from Aiken's acclaimed CAPTAINS & COWBOYS disc which was released on Northwind Records earlier this year. Upcoming tour dates include: Nov 01 / Salty Dawg Rally / Hampton, VA Nov 14 / Frank Brown Songwriters Festival / Gulf Shores, AL Nov 15 / Frank Brown Songwriters Festival / Gulf Shores, AL Nov 16 / Frank Brown Songwriters Festival / Gulf Shores, AL Nov 22 / S-Event / Gams, SG Switzerland Nov 23 / Landgasthof St.Luzisteig, Maienfeld, Switzerland
