Southern Halo’s New Lyric Video Charts Emotional Map

Southern Halo’slatest lyric video, “Missing Mississippi,”
marks home and family on an emotional map as it reflects on the Morris
sisters’ connection to the state of their birth. The creative clip is
filled with a montage of personal photographs that range from toddler to
teen interspersed with high-energy stage snaps, text message
screenshots and images of keepsakes and mementos of their travels. The
often moving visuals offer a refreshing and surprisingly deep dive into
the “sister soul” togetherness and Southern grace that are central to
Natalia (principal songwriter, guitarist, lead vocalist), Christina
(drums) and Hannah (bass), and solidify the sense of “family” and
“home.”

The song details the first night Natalia spent alone in the siblings’ Nashville condo. The lyric video, created by DiamondBack Productions, premiered on The Boot today.

First night alone on an empty floor

Makes me realize I’m not little anymore

I’m just a small town girl moving to the city

Where these dreams of mine can become a reality

I guess you’ll never know until ya try

But it’s just so hard for me to say good bye

I’m still missing Mississippi

I’m still wishing you were with me

This is a brand new life and a brand new journey

And I’ve never felt so wild and free

But no matter where I go or where life takes me

I’ll always be missing Mississippi(Natalia Morris, Jennifer Adan)

Natalia recalls, “I started writing this one the very first night I spent alone in Nashville.I
was so homesick; all I had was an air mattress and my acoustic guitar
and my emotions just came pouring out. A few days later, Jennifer Adan
(Blake Shelton, New Medicine) helped me finish the song. I still cry
every time I hear it.”

The song, from Southern Halo’s 2018
album, JUST LIKE IN THE MOVIES, is a fan favorite at shows, and
releasing the lyric video is a way for the group to acknowledge the
support Halo-ites have given the tune. “It was never a single,” explains
Natalia. “But I think so many people relate to it because it reminds
them of their first experiences growing up – and how they allowed
themselves to grow out into the world. We all leave our comfort zone at
some point. Doing that with a full heart and a true sense of self make
it a little easier.” Fans can stream or download “Missing Mississippi” HERE.
