Description: Music video for firekid’s “Boomerang” (a duo comprised of Dillon Hodges and Rory’s daughter, vocalist Heidi Feek). Hodges originally wrote the song following an unexpected reunion with a stolen guitar, but the song took on another meaning after his ex-wife was tragically killed in a hit and run, just months after Heidi lost her mother, Joey Feek, following a highly publicized battle with cancer. “I think sometimes it’s easier to express pain through music than just speaking it to one another,” Hodges told CMT.com exclusively. “We’re both songwriters, and a lot of our co-writes were just therapy sessions to one another because we both lost somebody. Our creativity became very personal.” “Boomerang” is one of firekid’s first releases from its upcoming four-song EP, XY, a collection that was released on Sept. 14, 2018.
