About This Video

Shoshana Bean performs "Home" at Scott Alan's CD Release event for 'Dreaming Wide Awake' on January 7, 2008. CD available on CDbaby.com/scottalan and iTunes.

BACKSTORY: Well, Shoshana gives the backstory on how we met, and how this song came to be, so I am going to take another direction with this one.

Ok, so, that's still not the story.  I am on a high.  I think I am something really special.  I walk to the subway thinking in my head 'yup, I am a star.  Better believe it.  Don't mess with me' when I hear these girls in front of me talking about the concert.  I start walking faster to hear what they had to say, when one of them goes 'I ...
