The Story Behind "Home" and "Truth," Edward Sharpe's Companion Songs of Darkness and Light
The breakout single and signature song across Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros' four albums is, of course, “Home.” An ebullient and endearing anthem of love and pure joy, the song has become iconic thanks to its instantly recognizable whistles and indelible opening lyric, “Alabama, Arkansas/ I do love my ma and pa.” Not to mention the mid-song confessional between Ebert and his then-girlfriend and bandmate Jade Castrinos (who co-wrote and shares vocals on the track).
For the 10th episode of The Story Behind the Song podcast, Sharpe -- aka Alex Ebert, joined host Peter Csathy to discuss his classic “Home.” He takes listeners through the inspirations to the production, and reveals how the darker realities underpinning his solo single “Truth” connect to that original hit. Along the way, Ebert’s candid, raw conversation reveals his musical journey from rapper to spiritual “Bad Guru” (the name of his philosophy and spirituality newsletter).

Appreciated all the songs on the Edward sharpe albums
What joy to hear lots and lots of Alex’s life! Thank you both! Please do weekly! He has so much in that mind/life of his and you are so well versed in it…….please…more, more, more…for this hungry, greedy fan! Bless you both.
I've been on board since he opened for Duran Duran in 2005 with Ima Robot. Saw The Zeros at Malkin Bowl in Stanley Park Vancouver in 2012 and bumped into Alex before the show. I treasure the photo of us and the rare occasion of me being speechless.

Your ensemble reminded me of c.2000 bands. Was this intentional?
