David Nail Blogs about Chicago and 'Turning Home'
David Nail took to his blog to express his love for the city of Chicago as well as his hometown of Kennett, Missouri. He writes epxressively about both places relating it all to his current single, the wonderful 'Turning Home'.
He concludes:
"I suppose these are both attempts to explain my affair with the lyrics of “Turning Home”. I sincerely believe it’s not a town or city thing. It’s a life thing. It’s yearning for those things that played a huge role in who you are today. Good or bad, right or wrong, it’s a simple fact that our pasts play a huge role in how we live each and every day. I’m in a good place in my life these days, and there are most likely more than a few reasons why, but I think the one most evident here in the sky, is that I get to sing this song almost every night. I get to close my eyes and go back to my parent’s house, or riding my bike a little further down the street than I knew I was allowed. It takes me back to one of the five or six times I’ve walked the streets of Chicago in simple awe of its size and energy. So many memories, so many songs, so many towns and cities, but certain ones stand above the rest. Chicago, Illinois is one, Kennett, Missouri is one, and Turning Home definitely is one!"

Just wanted to say congrats. on the Grammy nomination for Turning Home. It's one of those songs that really puts you in the moment and makes you long for home wherever that may be for you. I'm from Chicago which truly is a city of neighborhoods. You grow up in a very concentrated few blocks that defines your whole life. Church, school, friends and sports. Your delivery of the song is absolute perfection! It gets me every time. My husband and I spend most of the year in Florida now and are looking forward to seeing you perform at The Scottish Fest in Lakewood Ranch. It is such a great cause and the Wright Family are such special people. I think it is a true reflection of who you are and what the content of your character is to have adopted them and their cause. Looking forward to the show tonight!
