Rising Country Artist Taylon Hope Reflects on Hometown Roots in Official Video for New Single “Hometown Never Leave Me”
With heartfelt lyrics tying memories to the future, “Hometown Never Leave Me,” the new single from rising young country music artist Taylon Hope, indicates her growing talent. The video, produced by Lucas Pruittin in support of the new song, is available today on the official artist's YouTube channel.
The song shares all about how special her hometown in North Carolina is to Taylon. Moving to Nashville when she was twelve to pursue her career as a country artist, her family had to leave the special town of West Jefferson behind to chase her dream. The special thing about a hometown is that you can leave it, but it will never leave you. The people from her hometown have surrounded her and supported her with a special love that keeps her going daily. Just like the song says, “There is always a huge part of me that loves the peace of the mountains, that loves talking to people on the side of the road that I know, and going into the old beautiful church at the end of my Nanas road to pray.”
“Hometown Never Leave Me” was co-written with two incredible writers I admire in many ways. This song is so special to me, and I hope others can relate to it, knowing that no matter where they might go, their hometown will never leave them,” expressed Taylon Hope.
