Watch the heartwarming video for mercyme's AlmostHome & read their full interview below
, the video for “Almost Home” is more than a clever clip to further exposure of the group’s rising single, it’s the first step in a journey frontman Bart Millard plans to take fans on with their upcoming album tentatively titled“We’re trying to shoot a video for every song on the album and make it a continuous story,” Millard tells.
In casting the young actors in the video, they recruited some of their friends’ children. Matt Hammitt’s son Bowen is the little astronaut in the video, Millard reveals. "He was so excited and was healthy enough to do it,” Millard says of the nine-year-old, who has undergone multiple heart surgeries. “It was cool to have him as part of the video." The little girl is Tim Timmons’ daughter, Anna Timmons; both Hammitt and Timmons are artists who have toured with MercyMe.
The conversation really resonated with Millard and provided inspiration for the song. “I thought it would be a timely idea to really rally the troops and remind the body of Christ, now is not the time to give up. We’re almost home,” he says of the message he’s looking to convey to fellow Christians. “There always needs to be something to lift our spirits and keeps us going, so this is hopefully an anthem for people who are just tired and exhausted. The idea of the song is to look forward.
