Instead, we ended up with something more visceral, something that resonates from within,” he added.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><iframe height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/x9Zft5m0l3c?enablejsapi=1" width="560"></iframe></figure><div class="iwantbar">Watch more News on <a href="https://www.iwanttfc.com/#!/browse/Genres/News/tag_id_genres/id_news" target="_blank">iWantTFC</a></div><p>According to the band, the song is about coming home after a long, tiring journey.</p><p>As bassist Gosh puts it, the new track “feels like traveling to unfamiliar places, but still ends up unwinding and wanting to go home.” </p><p>Yuzon added “Hometown” sounds like a song that listeners can take with them anywhere they go. </p><p>“As we call and respond to the echoes of Philippine diaspora, home is where the heart is, and Hometown is not just a song about a place. It&#x27;s love, hope, and warmth.
