Emily Barker's video: Emily Barker ft Frank Turner - Bound For Home Lyric video

'Bound For Home' was written with my friend, Frank Turner, on a day I was feeling particularly homesick. Frank is a huge Clive James fan and he read me James’s stunning poem ‘Leçons De Ténèbres’. I learned that day that Clive, based in the UK for decades, had become too ill to make the journey back to Australia. His memories of growing up in the suburbs of Sydney became the muse for so much of his work. He was as fascinated with how we remember, as much as with the memories themselves. As Frank and I worked on the song, it emerged that a conversation was occurring between Clive and I. I was thinking about my childhood home, asking my tidal question of whether or not it was time to return, and reflecting on Clive’s lack of choice on the matter. As well as Frank lending his voice to our song with some beautiful harmonies, the song also features some great guitar playing (Nashville-tuning) and bowed double bass by Lukas Drinkwater. ========================================= The new album "A Dark Murmuration of Words" is out now - https://smarturl.it/eb-words ========================================= Stay in touch: Sign up to my newsletter: https://smarturl.it/eb-Newsletter https://emilybarker.com https://facebook.com/emilybarkerhalo https://twitter.com/emilybarkerhalo https://instagram.com/emilybarkerhalo Subscribe to this channel for more videos: https://smarturl.it/halo-youtube
