Common, Simple, Beautiful
COPYRIGHT 2008
Music by: Jennifer Chung & Johnny Yang
Lyrics by: Jennifer Chung
Don't you agree
When they all say
"Home is where the heart is."
But do you see
With every step that you take,
You get further away
From where the heart is.
It's so easy to be blinded
& caught up in the clouds where everything's in a haze
Causing you to forget about the days,
Of the common, simple, beautiful ways.
I remember all the times that I had spent with my friends.
Taking BART to San Francisco just for 350 cents.
Talking, laughing, joking - didn't quite k now what was to come.
Years of memories, irreplaceable fun.
I remember telling mom that I'd make her proud one day.
She would smile and knew exactly all the right things to say.
Man, I miss her & can't wait till I get back to the bay.
Back to the common, simple, beautiful ways.
Isn't it nice,
To simply know,
There's somewhere you can go back to.
So it's a big sacrifice
Everytime that you decide
You can't even if you want to.
It's so easy to be blinded
& caught up in the clouds where everything's in a haze
Causing you to forget about the days,
Of the common, simple, beautiful ways.
I remember all the times that I had spent with my friends.
Taking BART to San Francisco just for 350 cents.
Talking, laughing, joking - didn't quite k now what was to come.
Years of memories, irreplaceable fun.
I remember telling mom that I'd make her proud one day.
She would smile and knew exactly all the right things to say.
Man, I miss her & can't wait till I get back to the bay.
Back to the common, simple, beautiful ways.
Finally the video is up! I first wrote this song when I was away from home in college when I was 18.. I hadn't seen my mom in so long and "home" felt so far away. The song came so naturally from my heart and it's amazing how I finally got to shoot a music video for it this past February, about 4 years after I wrote the song, when I was up there for my SF album show.
I'm really blessed to have the opportunity to hear wonderful stories that some of you have shared with me about what this song meant to you. THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing them to me.
The crew I worked with were SO professional, kind, amazing, etc. etc. If you ever get a chance to work with them.. DO IT.
