John Mellencamp dropped a new video for ”Orpheus Descending,” the title track of his latest album. Announced through a press release, the black and white images paint a depressing story, with characters looking for a way out. All as Mellencamp sings “If there’s a will, there’s got to be a way.”

He recently wrapped an extensive 77-date North American tour promoting his latest album, which is his 25th career release.
