Development

"When we re-discovered what we'd once thought to be lost footage from two years ago, these forgotten images from a trip to Paris strangely seemed fitting for the feel of "Dust To Dust." For me, it's like stepping back in time. Hope you can also enjoy these simple moments captured in one of the world's most beautiful cities."[4] - Joy Williams

The music video features found footage from their 2011 trip in Paris. The music video premiered on October 5, 2013 on VH1's "Top 20 Video Countdown", it has also been added to CMT Pure Country. The video was shot by Becky Fluke in March 2011 and was shot at The Art House studio by 1504 Pictures.[2]
