- What would I call a song about the relationship
between Nashville and Amazon?
I'll be chewing on that.
I'm Rivers Rutherford, I'm a songwriter and native Tennessean.
- Nashville has been my home for nine generations.
I'd live nowhere else.
Nashville has gotten a big giant Amazon box
on its front doorstep with a big smile.
And inside that box is 5,000 jobs.
- I'm from Nashville.
This is gonna be my future home someday in Nashville Yards,
along with myself and 4,999 other Amazonians.
- [Rivers] I've definitely heard people talk about
how Nashville growing is, we're losing our character
and this kind of thing.
And I just don't see it that way,
and I think most people don't.
- It has a very diverse economy.
It's not just country music and the music industry.
It's healthcare, it's hospitality, it's manufacturing.
- [Michelle] So it's awesome that now we get the opportunity
to become known as kind of a tech city.
- If I was gonna write a song about Nashville and Amazon,
maybe the song would be called The Missing Piece.
It's an unlikely match that turns out to be exactly perfect.
