Lyrics
Anytime you say it with heart

Anytime you're falling apart

When you're washing the sheets

Any stranger you meet

When there's somebody waving goodbye



You're coming home to me

Just remember you're coming home to me



It's a world full of bar rooms and alleys

Of blue nights and red river valleys

When you feel like a shirt and a tie

Or like dirt or a lion and no one can see



You're coming home to me

Just remember you're coming home to me



When you get to that place that's just under the stars

Hanging over the tree at quarter to three

When you get there you'll know that's as far as you go

When you get there you'll see you were already free

When you get there you'll



When you're lost and you're found

And you're found then you're lost

When you're dancing with no one around



You're coming home to me

Just remember you're coming home to me

This is so lovely, thank you so much!! Just gorgeous - I love how you've woven Rayna through the other women's stories, as this kind of mother hen watching over them all - and then mirrored that with the other relationships as well, with Scarlett and Juliette watching over Maddie. Just beautifully edited too, love all the overlays in the sort of 'love of music' section. My heart is full of love for these amazing women, thank you!

[ghost_lingering]

Awwwwww, all my favorite parts of the show -- the relationships between these amazing women. Many hearts!

[trelkez]

This is so sweet and sad and emotional. Really love the relationships you've shown.

UGLY CRYING. What a good emotional meditation on why I love this show so much. I love your choice to focus on Maddie, Juliette and Scarlett, tying them all together with Rayna and her maternal/mentor relationship with all of them. Each relationship is specific and unique, and yet they are all so solidly supportive, which is so meaningful to me on the show. And then all the various supportive/mentoring relationships *among* the younger three too, and their love of music connecting them. It's a whole web of positive, supporting female friendships, mentorships and maternal relationships, and I just can't. It's beautiful!

Oh jesus, this is beautiful. I'm so behind on this show, but this was so worth the spoilers AND now I'm more inspired to catch up than I have been in forever. Ugh, wow, women mentoring and supporting each other. also their love of music!! And ugh, what a gorgeous song choice.

I love this show and I loved this vid. You captured perfectly the many wonderful characters, their struggles and their triumphs, and their love for music. I love the song, too.

[violetemerald]

What a beautiful song choice, and a beautifully unique theme for the video! Not only the main characters Rayna, Juliette, and the slightly less often vidded Scarlett, but even Maddie getting a lot of love! I love how everyone sort of "comes home to" Rayna but Rayna cries in the vid too and Juliette is a mother as well and how you captured all of it and all of these women's journeys. I love this show so much and you really captured a huge part of why with such an emotional, beautiful, poignant tribute. Epic job.

Bawwwwwww! Oh my goodness... what a beautiful vid, seriously. I love all these ladies so much and I love how you gave each one of them such careful attention and focus, but still clearly made it about all of them. <3

[purplefringe]

Oh this was beautiful and moving <3

AHHH I LOVE THIS VID!!!! One of my favorite vids of this year's Festivids by far and it is so beautifully structured and full of FEEEELS! I really love the beginning where you set up the vid so well and show Rayna singing with the other women watching her with their personal reaction. You first destroyed me with poor Maddie's reaction and those beautiful fades and the name change on Youtube with the mess it leads to with Rayna protecting her and hugging her, just awww SO CUTE <3 I loved how you segued into Juliette similarly getting harassed by the media which just made me feel so bad for her along with her mom shots. And then the coming home shots being Rayna supporting her were SO CUTE especially the high five and Rayna supporting her with the baby.

I love how you intercut Scarlett freaking out singing in public with her protecting Maddie showing both her vulnerability and strength. The fading and opacity in it was just stunning and perfect with bringing across the emotion and music of the song and I loved it as well for the section showing all of them singing and the joy it brings to them. AND THEN YOU BROKE MY HEART WITH THE RAYNA SECTION :( :( But the hugs made it alll better and I absolutely LOVE the closing shot of Juliette and Rayna taking care of Maddie together, just perfect. Thank you SO MUCH for making this, I love it and I'm so glad it exists!

[franzeska]

Awww. You made me curious about all of them.

[sanguinity]

I love the song choice for a vid about mothers and daughters and mother-figures and mentorships, and the absolute conviction that no matter anything else, this is where home is, and these are who home are.

[kuwdora]
