I Left My Hometown
Stretching the confines of genre, with influences from alt-pop, rock and hip-hop, Viisi released his new single, i left my hometown, about making the jump from comfort into oblivion to chase down your dreams.
Exploding with buzzing electric riffs, eruptive vocals, and dynamic beats, i left my hometown hits like an adrenaline high you’d get from a motorcycle ride into the sunset – out of your old life and into a new era.
This year, I took the leap and moved away from the city where I grew up. I quit my job and told my friends and family that I was leaving to pursue my passion for music. This song was written about the feelings of being held back and building a new life somewhere else.
