Moroney recently caught up with Southern Living Editor-in-Chief Sid Evans at the first-ever Biscuits & Jam Live event in New York City. The award-winning country star spoke about “Beautiful Things,” one of 16 tracks from her Cloud 9 era, which serves as a compassionate message to her 2-year-old niece. Moroney told Evans, “I wrote that song for my niece [who] has no idea what that song means and definitely doesn't need [it] yet, but [when] she was born and I looked at her and I was like ‘Oh my gosh.’ I never want her to feel sadness, but at some point in her life [she’s] gonna feel excluded. And then at some point in her life maybe she'll get her heart broken, which is what the second verse is about. I want her to know that even though those feelings feel very real…it's not the end of the world. The hope of writing that song was that if and when she needs it, she has it.”
The Emo Cowgirl performed “Beautiful Things” live for the first time in September, months before Cloud 9’s February release. Moroney took the stage at Credit One Stadium in Charleston, South Carolina, and unveiled the story behind the song before she played it for the first time. She told the audience, “this song is just a great reminder that we’re all going through something, so just be nice to each other.”
