A Heart Divided: The Story Behind Home Away

I wrote Home Away during a time when illness unexpectedly prevented me from returning to my home country. I'm from Denmark, and every other year, I’ve traveled back to visit my family. But when I got sick, that connection was suddenly severed, and I haven’t been able to return for six years. The emotions that come with that kind of separation are profound. Being away for so long makes you reflect deeply on your life. You start to question how you ended up in a different country and what led you to leave your homeland in the first place. This song captures that duality—the longing for your home country while also recognizing that you've built a new home where you are now. Home Away is a song for anyone who misses their homeland, for every immigrant around the world, or anyone who finds themselves far from the place they once called home. I hope you enjoy it as much as I’ve poured my heart into it. I can't wait to share it with you. Thank you so much.
