Nancy Hays - Heart Like a Train
Heart Like A Train, written by Matraca Berg (Keith Urban, Martina McBride) and Ronnie Samoset (Patty Loveless, Diamond Rio) and performed by Nancy Hays in a stunning music video directed by award-winner Stephan Mazurek. Hailed by critics as “classic country redux”, Heart Like A Train matches Nancy’s powerful vocals with producer Craig Morris’ signature style: the upbeat tempo and theme of the song echo Nancy’s own journey as a country music artist, speaking to the determination it takes to find your voice, choose strength and never give up, even when the odds are stacked against you.
Nancy Hays is a successful international recording artist and consummate entertainer who has released five albums and toured the UK five times with her own original music. She is best known for her breakout hit Come Dance With Me, written by Marjorie Reeves (Tim McGraw) and Jim Snyder, which went viral after renowned choreographer Jo Thompson wrote a line dance to it that spread far and wide. The song was embraced by line dance fans in clubs and festivals all over the world, including a flash mob dance at the Great Wall of China. It was released as a single, with millions of downloads and views, and is still an international hit.
Heart Like A Train marks Nancy’s full circle journey back to her roots in classic country, with a song whose zest and spirit is already being embraced by live audiences, and resonating with the Gen Z demographic. The video stars rising star Caroline Heffernan (Chicago Med) and Patrick Weber, as a young couple torn apart by family disapproval and distance but intent on being together, reminiscent of Trisha Yearwood’s “She’s In Love With The Boy.” The joyful spirit of the video is enhanced by Nancy's fabulous narrator character, playing and singing the story on the sidelines. Her skillful performance reminds us of the ageless universality of love, and of the nail-biting but ultimately beautiful experience of reclaiming the deepest parts of ourselves.
Nancy’s work has been praised by The Washington Post, the LA Times, The Chicago Tribune, the Las Vegas Sun, Variety, Billboard and many other publications. Heart Like A Train, the album will also be released on vinyl later this year. She will tour to support the release in the U.S. and U.K. in 2024.
