MV Recommendation: Epik High – Home is Far Away

Epik High came back on 2017 after a 3 year hiatus with a new album that ended up being one of my favorite ones of all time. “We’ve Done Something Wonderful” is pure art and I challenge anyone to find a song on this album that does not touch their heart in some way. 

Today’s video recommendation is one of the title tracks for this album, “Home is far away” featuring Oh Hyuk from the indie rock band Hyukoh. 

The video features Tablo, DJ Tukuz, Minthra and Oh Hyuk wandering separately around the streets of Seoul at night, they walk around melancholically and their expressions throughout the video totally reflect the lyrics of this one.

“Home is far Away” is about that helpless feeling many of us have when we are not able to fulfill our dreams. It talks about how society shapes us to go for what is considered the “sure thing” putting a reliable income over happiness. It is about feeling lost but at the same time having no option but to go along with it, because at the end of the day we need to survive.
This song will probably feel quite relatable for a lot of people out there but remember: “There is a place for you this big world. You are not in this crowded street, and there will always be an empty seat waiting for you. Home is where your heart is.”
