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).
