I’m not normally one to believe in fate, but every now and then it sure does feel like the universe is trying to tell you something. It was just the other week that I stumbled upon Nashville based singer/songwriter Hunter Metts, and heard his gorgeous track ‘Weathervane‘ for the first time. The kind of song that stops you in your tracks, I found myself thinking “what I’d give to find a song this wonderful just waiting for me in my inbox”. Lo and behold, Hunter’s latest single ‘Abilene’ was doing just that. Named for a town in Texas, as a nod to where his grandfather was adopted, this airy folk number is a wistful reflection on the kind of love and support so many of us take for granted. To leave such a mark on people’s lives, to have a song as haunting as this dedicated to you, goes to show that no matter your beginnings, love will still find its way to you if you keep an open heart. For everything to lead to a moment as perfect as this, some unseen hand of fate must be at work.
