The music video for Magnetic North x Taiyo Na ‘s “Home:Word” is finally out. With a little help from singer Sam Kang and Wong Fu Productions behind the scenes. It’s a touching song for the holidays, especially for those who are homesick. Not only did Wong Fu Productions have all 4 artist on the video, but they also weaved in a storyline about coming together as a family. A mother (Cindy Cheung from Children of Invention), a daughter (Sally Yoo), a father (Ed Lin from The Potential Wives of Norman Mao), and a son (Raymond Chu) with seemingly separate lives and doing their own thing are brought together by as a family. Here’s more about the song and music video:
Dedicated to our families.
Like the mother and daughter, we all have those moments where we neglect our parents, too busy living our own life, we often forget that on the other side our parents are working hard and have struggled to give us as good a life as they can.
Like the son, pressures from school can be the biggest struggle for young people. While it’s important, sometimes stepping away to find that true peace keeps us going. Whether it’s in art and photography, making videos, singing, dancing, or even video games with friends.
Like the father, jobs and financial worries can bring us down. Especially in these tough times, when so much is uncertain, the greatest gift we have is knowing that there is one constant, family.

Lyrics to Home:Word by Magnetic North x Taiyo Na x Sam Kang
(Theresa Vu)
I Gotta get get gotta gotta get home
Hadn’t thought it possible
But I’ve forgotten my own road
Thought I was so unstoppable
Forgot my ego
Then it topple down like dominoes
A prodigal soul
But now I’m running no more
Took out my airbags
Used to hate starin at myself, now I stare back
momma push my hair back, tell me a secret
You never know home baby girl till you leave it.
Used to think home was a physical place
A space where you live and you lay.
Your head to rest and wake up on a typical day
An address for you to get deliveries made
But I’m home sick though
In my own zip code
Wissful zoom in like a fish in a fish bowl
Wishful what am I searching for
I’m looking for a place where I don’t search no more
(Sam Kang)
Tell you that I’m used to
Being used to
Going through with the motions
But everytime that I’m away
Everyday my thoughts just drive me insane
Cause I feel,
You’re further world beyond oceans
looking out into space
To the place I know that’s keeping my faith
(Taiyo Na)
It’s hard to find to find the words
But some so basic
But the simplest things can be most courageous
Debated yes but its less complex
home is every moment i feel god bless
home is where i come back
all night we laugh and vibe and soul clap
home i find that in friends
i find it in things
a life from within
home is a song on a subway
the high of the blues
to be free one day
home is every true note
every real lyric
and every new hopin
Home is something to fight for
the soul of a man
a.k.a. his life force
home, when you close your eyes
and you feel in your heart
how your soul’s alive
(Sam Kang)
Tell you what I’m used to
Being used to
Going through with the motions
But everytime that I’m away
Everyday my thoughts just drive me insane
Cause I feel,
You’re further world beyond oceans
looking out into space
To the place I know that’s keeping my faith
(Derek Kan)
I gotta get get gotta gotta get home
I gotta got so lost
that ive forgotten the real goals
I gotta promise
to be honest to my heart and my soul
I gotta get get gotta gotta get home
I gotta get get gotta gotta get home
I Gotta cross potholes
Gotta cross the whole coast
Gotta cross the optical
That gotten me walkin so slow
I gotta get get gotta gotta get home
I gotta get get gotta gotta get home
I gotta honor my ohana
Be a positive role
A role model
Sons and daughters
call em up when alone
I gotta get get gotta gotta get home
I gotta get get gotta gotta get home
I got caught up cuz of my job
became the boss of my soul
I got locked up boxed in
became robotic in code
I gotta get get gotta gotta get home
I gotta get get gotta gotta get home
I got my momma papa home cookin hot on the stove
I love you momma
pops props and you made all thats possible
I gotta get get gotta gotta get home
I gotta get get gotta gotta get home
I know this road is rocky
and I’m going far on my own
but this is not a road im going
I’m followin my own
I gotta get get gotta gotta get home
(Sam Kang)
Tell you that I’m used to
Being used to
Going through with the motions
But everytime that I’m away
Everyday my thoughts just drive me insane
Cause I feel,
You’re further world beyond oceans
looking out into space
To the place I know that’s keeping my faith x4
