For today's theme, I want you to get to know you all a bit more! You will have to submit a song to represent your "hometown" but I mean that loosely. I want you guys to have some fun and be creative here, so your song can either be something that reminds you of your hometown, a song by an artist from your location, whatever you want! I don't want you to overthink the category and it does not need to specifically represent your "town" because you can reference your home state, country, anything that works for you! Please give me a short description of where you are basing your song off of and why when you submit. Thanks everybody and GOOD LUCK! <3

This song perfectly captures what it was like growing up in my small hometown in Texas and the different expectations and realities for many of the people who still live here. Kacey grew up in Golden, TX, a small town eerily similar to mine, and a lot of her songs are about breaking out of that location, which is why I relate so much to her music <3
Another two-pronged explanation. I grew up in rural Colorado. I think this song captures some of the idealism that many kids in small towns have because the lyrics portray what it's like to travel, get away, see the world, and live what most would think is a good life. I know I often felt that way and couldn't wait to leave my town. As an added bonus, OneRepublic was formed in Colorado.
