Big dreams often come with bumps
in the road, and Nashville-based Alexis Taylor reveals the unseen side
of pursuing stardom with her confessional country song “Long Way From
Home” which dropped Feb 25, 2022 - available now.
“Long Way From Home” is a smooth
traditional country jam with an infectious melody, twangy guitar, and warm
harmonies. Despite its story of dejection and loneliness, Taylor’s voice soars
above the feelings, while the lyrics paint a vivid picture of a young girl set
out to chase her dreams.

hen Taylor started writing “Long Way From Home,” she hadn’t finished writing a song in months and was having a day where she felt like giving up on her music career. “I felt so defeated,” she said. “I felt like it was time to pack my bags, go home, and find a regular 9-5 job and quit chasing these crazy dreams of mine.”
“I wanted to really capture everything I was feeling in the
lyrics and melody of the song,” she said. “So I sat
in my living room and just started writing, pouring my heart out onto paper -
the song seemed to write itself.”
The song was recorded in Nashville, where Taylor has been living ever since she
decided to leave her small hometown in Ontario to pursue her dreams. And those
dreams have clearly already materialized in a big way - the song was produced
by John Willis, who has worked with Taylor Swift, Shania Twain, Willie Nelson
and many other musical greats.
“At the end of the day, I know music is what I was born to do,
and even though I go through days of uncertainty, I was able to create this
song as a reminder of how far I have come, and to not lose faith,” Taylor
said.
