What I think I love most about it is that it\u2019s a real country song that doesn\u2019t make anyone wrong for finding community wherever they choose to find it. This video conveys that idea beautifully \u2014 and with depth and hope. I also really do believe that no matter how long we live, we\u2019re all searching- always\u2026for something. \u2018Bars &amp; Churches\u2019 is my ode to that belief.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><strong>Bailey Hefley<\/strong>, \u201cDust on a Diamond\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"deferred_content\">Embedded from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oT2C-fb9qjc?feature=oembed\">www.youtube.com<\/a>. <noscript class=\"deferred_content\" data-deferred-info=\"{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;iframe&quot;}\"><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oT2C-fb9qjc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\">[embedded content]<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><\/noscript><\/div>\n<p><strong>Influences:<\/strong> Shania Twain, Sheryl Crow, Garth Brooks, Faith Hill, The Dixie Chicks, Ed Sheeran, Queen, and Christina Aguilera<\/p>\n<p><strong>From the Artist:<\/strong> \u201cI couldn\u2019t be more proud of the way my first music video turned out. The video for \u2018Dust on a Diamond\u2019 was directed by Roman White, which was a dream come true! Filming it was one of the highlights of my music career thus far. When Roman sent the final product, I teared up a little because he truly brought this song to life.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis video perfectly reflects what I wrote the song about. I was mentally abused and gaslighted by a pathological liar who didn\u2019t know how to love. When I would try to leave him, he would run crying to my best friend and my mom so that they would convince me to take him back. I got so lost that a part of me truly believed I was the problem \u2014 doomed to want the player type and just unable to appreciate a \u2018nice\u2019 guy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlso, no one really reacted strongly when I told them the things he would do that seemed like major red flags to me, so I thought I was just going crazy and looking for flaws. Then one day he couldn\u2019t outrun the truth, and I found out I should have listened to my gut all along. I left and felt at peace for the first time in years.\u201d<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><strong>Honey Country, \u201cCountry Strong\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"deferred_content\">Embedded from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ihBPqQz5xM0?feature=oembed\">www.youtube.com<\/a>. <noscript class=\"deferred_content\" data-deferred-info=\"{&quot;type&quot;:&quot;iframe&quot;}\"><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ihBPqQz5xM0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\">[embedded content]<\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><\/noscript><\/div>\n<p><strong>Influences:<\/strong> Fleetwood Mac, James Taylor, Allman Brothers, Kacey Musgraves, Keith Urban, Little Big Town, Dan &amp; Shay, Haim<\/p>\n<p><strong>From the Artist:<\/strong> \u201cWe were honored to take on this opportunity to write a song and create a video that celebrates our resilient country music community.
