"Home" was written a couple of years ago after the death of my father and my brother. At that time, as I was doing the necessary reflection on my life, this nostalgic piece came forth.
I think we all feel, in our own ways, some nostalgic longing for our youth and our younger lives and the memories of home, Not only our younger days but the younger days of strength and vitality of our parents as well. And of course we seem to remember the good things all in a golden light burnished by time.
As Thomas Wolfe said, "We can never go home again but we all carry in our mind the memories of our youth, our younger parents and home..." and I think a lot of us would like to visit those times again, at least one more time.
I did not know the actors before the shoot. However, I was very much impressed with the two young boys, brothers, in the video. This song is not necessarily autobiographic but certainly seeing those two young boys brought back some cherished memories of my brother and I.
The other actors were cast with my young parents in mind.
The actor who plays the Young Mother was just perfect for the part. There is a truth and innocence I saw in her face and eyes that was very moving to me. They are good character actors and played their parts well.
I have to give great kudos to Daniel Judson. He really " got" what the song was about and he did a wonderful job bringing the lyrics and meaning of the song to life.. not just following a script of the lyrics but creating a feeling through his images that I believe will bring a tear to some peoples eyes. He is great to work with, patient but intensely focused. He is a tremendous talent and I look forward to working with him again in the near future.
Yes, that is my mom in the video and the scene where she walks out the door to give me a hug is not acting. That was an intense moment for both of us and I am glad we caught that scene and energy. It will live with me the rest of my life as a memory of my mother's smile and energy. She is a vibrant 82 years old. I don't know how much longer we will have her with us, but I am glad she was here to help me make this video more meaningful.
That is also my wife Alexandra, our daughter Remy, and my sister Melanie as well. Jennifer Taylor and her daughter Skyla also make a cameo.
