Video Video: Tope/Kelli Schaefer - "Home"
Posted by Ned Lannamann on Thu, Dec 22, 2011 at 11:25 AM
Here's the video for Tope's remix of Kelli Schaefer's "Home," and it's perfectly timed for a season when many of us are in the process of traveling—specifically, going home. The low-key clip details Tope's return home to Portland with truthful details of what that return actually feels like: the time at the airport, the drive through the familiar city streets, the gradual adjustment and settling it takes to return to the rhythms of normal life. There's some joy in there, too, which you can see peeking around the edges of the clip, which was directed by A.Z. Chandler. Considering many are about to make a similar journey "home" in the next couple days, the video definitely touches upon reality.
"Home" will appear on Until the Next Time We Meet, the new album that Tope is scheduled to drop in early 2012. Meanwhile, Kelli Schaefer—whose original version of "Home" appears on her 2011 album Ghost of the Beast—plays tonight at the Doug Fir as part of the Amigo/Amiga holiday party.
