As you can read in Alex Greene’s Memphis Flyer story, the debut album by Cheyenne Marrs, Everybody Wants To Go Home, is the product of a lot of hardship.
“First of all, thanks so much for having us on your Music Video Monday series and shout out to Shara too. She’s the best!” says Marrs.
We here at Music Video Monday love flattery and agree that Memphis Flyer Editor Shara “The Shark” Clark is the best. Now, back to the record. “The song was written lyrically while making this record,” Marrs says. “The death of my son’s mother had happened and it was just one thing after the other, and being in recovery for about a year and a half at the time, I was being asked if I was okay a lot. The words ‘I don’t know’ had become possibly my most-used phrase; kind of a way of being on the fence about some things.”
Marrs directed the video at the home studio of Graham Winchester, who produced the album. “The video is just me wanting to make a zombie movie with my friends. It turned out to be a lot of fun and my band mate Danny Stanford edited it too. We got together for two hours and he got that from it. A lot of things tend to gain some kind of meaning as time passes, so I’m sure with some time I could pin a way the video ties in to the meaning.”
