The newest song from the vocal band Home Free, written by the first lead singer with the grey streak in his hair (Tim Foust). With guest guitarist Chris Chatham. (And yes, the man with the bandana on his head is "playing" the harmonica with no harmonica -- just his voice)
I didn't want to leave this comment out in the open on YouTube, and attract the attention of the anti-SJWs. So I'm leaving it here.
This feels to me like a Good ol' Boy letting go of romanticizing The South™ (Tim Foust is from Texas). And I, for one am glad to see it.

Lyrics:
I'm heading off alone but you should know
Leaving you behind but you're with me where I go
You've been good to me
Far as I can see
I never would've got here on my own
You taught me how to work and how to play
You taught me how to cuss and how to pray
You showed me wrong from right
When to stand and fight
When it's time to walk away
So long Dixie, it's time to let you go
It's awful hard to do with roots this strong
You're just on the wrong end of a one way road
I know you'll always echo in my song
I've loved you in my way
That's why it hurts to say, so long
I sure as hell ain't saying I'm ashamed
I'm proud of where I was born and how I was raised
You can't erase the past
But it ain't meant to last
And it's time we start to learn from our mistakes
So long Dixie, it's time to let you go
It's awful hard to do with roots this strong
You're just on the wrong end of a one way road
I know you'll always echo in my song
I've loved you in my way
That's why it hurts to say, so long
Ooh
Ooh
So long Dixie, it's time to let you go
It's awful hard to do with roots this strong
You're just on the wrong end of a one way road
I know you'll always echo in my song
I've loved you in my way
That's why it hurts to say, so long
I've loved you in my way
It hurts to have to say, so long

remember when (white) music men on the internet were acting as if laufey's growing popularity was the ultimate reason to start both hating on her and gatekeeping jazz; is laufey the gen Z savior of jazz? doubtful. is her type of vocal pop very clearly influenced by midcentury jazz, bossa nova, musical theatre and movie musical scores, etc., as well as reflective of her years of training and musical knowledge? yes. it's also quite good music and she knows what she's talking about which i think threatens people who view "pop" as an entirely flattening or dismissive signifier. i don't really care about the jazz/not jazz debate (and people citing the marsalis definition i think are also often being purposefully obtuse + resistant to music that doesn't fit his very narrow neotraditional view of the genre—by his standards much of spiritual and free jazz wouldn't "count" but i digress) when people are using it as a distraction or smokescreen to avoid talking about the actual quality of the music which as previously stated, i think when it comes to laufey is very good and i look forward to hearing what she does next

Band!Mizu headcanons
Tw: f slur, cussing, kys jokes
So for this I'm gonna bring in a tad but of Loser!mizu hc but this au does NOT belong to me so go check out RatCash au bc OMG it's so good
Pt 1
This bitch is a nervous reck. She is NOT scary.
She may look scary but she has a fear of spiders
So alot of the time she stays quiet during practice, nervously strumming the 4 cords over and over again
First day of you being here she forgot how to play
"Alright Mizu you ready to start?... Mizu?" "WhY aRe ThE cOrDs aGaIn"
She fucked up so many times she almost raged quit the whole damn band
Honey this isn't roblox you can't just do that 🫶
During your play threw of showing what you could do and what your part in the band was going to he she stared at you with heart eyes
WHY ARE YOU SO COOL?!
It makes her want to cry
After practice she asked for your number for "band reasons"
She would dress like a lesbian.. that's all I can say
She can't dress for SHIT but she gets away with it
She finds her clothes in thoes homeless people bins (the poor ppl know)
Overtime when she started getting comfortable with you during practice and school she became one cocky mother fucker
But she's not a dick. She's just stupid
But she's still really scared to talk to you
She doesn't have the right talking to a gorgeous goddess like herself bro
Sometimes she just take stops and watch you play or sing in awe.
What felt like 5 minutes to her was actually 27 minutes
Taigen smacks the fuck out of her and calls her a pussy for it
"Just ask her out faggot" "you CANNOT say that" "just did" "kys" "smk" "EW?!"
It makes you giggle and she ofc notices your beautiful smile
She goes home and kicks her feet at the imagine now burned into her mind
First concert with you was amazing. Watching you shred on your guitar or watching your vocals rhythm with Akemis.
She caught herself fucking up one to many times and lucky no one noticed
Expect Taigen
After a long argument back stage and you breaking it up
The adrenaline of the fight and your gorgeous face nearby she blurted out
"Will you go out with me?!"
This is kinda shit and it was rushed mb
