Explore the Sounds of Closure with Jake Banfield
Nashville's music scene is always buzzing with fresh talent, and this week brings a compelling new song that resonates deeply with the heart: Jake Banfield’s poignant new video for "Thought of You". This soulful track encapsulates the essence of closure, depicting the emotional complexity that accompanies saying goodbye — a theme many can relate to in their personal stories.
The Story Behind the Song
Banfield describes the inspiration for "Thought of You" as a deeply personal narrative about a relationship where one person has already made an exit plan. It reflects that bittersweet feeling of knowing someone is slipping away but still holding on due to the love that remains. In his own words, he shares, "You could tear her down, but you hold back because you still love her… now, all that’s left is the thought of her." This honesty is what makes his music so captivating, adding a relatable layer to the expansive lyrics.
A Journey from Dreams to Performances
Originally from Oklahoma, Banfield’s journey to music was unexpectedly influenced by a knee injury that derailed his basketball dreams. Wandering into a pawn shop, he picked up a guitar and began crafting his own music. This pivotal moment led to his unique blend of genres, merging pop-country sounds with hints of rock, alt, and hip-hop. His versatility is evident as he draws inspiration from luminaries like Garth Brooks and Bruno Mars, allowing him to connect with fans across the globe.
Banfield’s Growing Influence in Nashville
Since moving to Nashville, Banfield has transitioned from contributing his writing skills to artists like Madison Beer to stepping into the spotlight himself. His powerful voice and relatable storytelling have positioned him as a rising star in the local music scene, promising to bring a fresh perspective to country music that echoes the hustle and spirit of Nashville itself.
