Demo of the Week: “A Kid From Somewhere”
Writers: Luke Laird, Barry Dean, Lori McKenna
Vibe: Hometown, reminiscing on childhood
Key lyrics: “We’re all just a kid from somewhere / Working on a friday night dream / Turned up loud tryna make our daddy’s proud / Act like we know what we’re doing in the backseat / We’re still right there under the bleachers / Still out there under the stars / no clue what we doing /when it comes down to it / We’re all just a kid all just a kid from somewhere”
Could be a good fit for: Dierks Bentley, Tim McGraw, Kip Moore, Canana Smith, Clare Dunn
X factor: The groove is constant and becomes more compelling as the lyrics visually paint your hometown or childhood memories.
