    Distance and Destiny: Conner Smith Releases New Song Inspired By Relationship With Fiancé, “Meanwhile In Carolina”

    Conner Smith, one of the fastest-rising stars in mainstream country, has been steadily climbing up the ranks with hits such as the certified gold, Take It Slow and the viral hit, I Hate Alabama.

    With only two weeks remaining before his debut album, Smoky Mountains, drops on Jan. 26, the 23 year-old singer/songwriter released the fifth and presumed final lead-up single, Meanwhile In Carolina.

    Smith took to Instagram on Monday to announce the song’s release.

    A post shared by Conner Smith (@connersmithmusic)

    Written by Smith and Blake Pendergrass, Meanwhile In Carolina is inspired by the relationship between him and his fiancé, Leah Thompson. This results in a wholly authentic set of lyrics that takes the listener on a travel through the two’s lives together.

    Smith plays with the concept of fate and destiny throughout the song, noting how the two were destined for each other despite growing up in Tennessee and Carolina respectively. The evolving chorus depicting the two being raised and eventually falling in love is an excellent example of Smith’s songwriting prowess and is ultimately extremely satisfying once the final chorus depicts the two finally tying the knot.

    The production is extremely minimal with acoustic guitar and small touches of steel throughout, which ultimately lets the song breathe and the storytelling shine through.

    While discussing the song, Smith explained it’s one of his favorites that he’s ever written:

    “‘Meanwhile in Carolina’ shows the heart of my debut album and is one of my favorite songs I’ve ever written. You always imagine that person, you always think about ’em, wonder where they are, wonder what they’re doing. I was so proud of this song after we wrote it, because I knew it was one that mattered – it was a song that meant something.”
