song of the week: "This Is Home", by Switchfoot, from "The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian Soundtrack".
I often sing the praises of one of the best bands in the world, Switchfoot, and its lead singer, Jon Foreman.
And I have been so looking forward to catching the second Chronicles of Narnia movie, Prince Caspian, which opens in early June here in Australia.
But little did I know until I received an email from Switchfoot, to whom I subscribe, that there is a new Switchfoot song "This Is Home" on the Prince Caspian soundtrack!
New song and video from Switchfoot - "This Is Home"
Here's a note from Jon about the song:
When my brother and I were kids, my dad used to read us CS Lewis books before we went to sleep. So when we were asked to be involved in a movie based on his book, "The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian" - we were honored to be considered.
I wanted to capture the longing that is embedded in much of Lewis' writing- so I tried to think back to what these stories meant to me when I was six years old and write from that perspective. The song that came out is called "This is Home." It's been quite a journey: a San Diego song with strings cut at Abbey Road in London complete with a video shot in Hollywood.
We are so excited to not only share this song with you, but also the video, which you can see on our site (here). And, you can hear the song streaming on our website, myspace, and facebook. The song will also be featured on the soundtrack, which is being released through Hollywood Records on Tuesday May 13th in stores everywhere.
This is our first venture as an independent band- so thank you for being a part of this! And thanks again for all your continued support.
