The story behind the song

"Hometown" captures the feeling that home isn't a place on a map, but wherever you are with the person you love. After years on the road, traveling to places they "never dreamed," the band expressed how love can make any location feel right. It's a love song at its core, suggesting that even when no one else understands your journey, being with your beloved makes you feel settled. This track from their 2018 album Watching the Sky plays like a warm reminder that true belonging is found in connection.
