OLD DOMINION SHARES INSPIRATION BEHIND SONG “HAWAII” WITH CROWD IN HAWAII (AUDIO & VIDEO)
While performing at a show in Hawaii, Matthew Ramsey of Old Dominion shared the inspiration for their song “Hawaii.”
“Before we play this, I just want to say this song has been really special to us. It was a special time when we created it, it was during, it was during the COVID. Lockdown. We went to North Carolina to make an album. And we were- everything was shut down. And it was a time when we needed to be together and create something. And they tell you, you know, as a songwriter that you should write what you know, and a lot of times you write about different things, but we knew that we had such a magical time the first and second time that we came here to Hawaii. That morning we were we were having coffee and there was a coffee mug in the studio that said Hawaii. And then and then we were having a Hawaiian dinner that night. So we decided to write about something we love.“
