Video-idea for Billy's latest release, and possibly new single, "When You Come Home". This is just my idea of a music video for this song. If I got to be the director, this is probably what I'd do. The pictures support camera-angles, actions, expressions, scenes and surroundings. The clothes are what I chose for Billy and the actors to "wear" and the text tells what's happening because the pics can't always tell.
I used pictures of random boys for the first scene, pictures of Tom Welling for the second scene and pictures of a random adult for the last scene. It's as if Billy's telling the story of another guy's life.
Lyrics:
My first day of recess, they all laughed at me
When I fell off the swing set and scraped up my knee
The nurse called my mama to say I'd be late
And when she gave me the phone I could hear mama say
I'm sorry son, oh I think you're so brave
And she was smiling when she said
When you come home, no matter how far
Run through the door and into my arms
It's where you are loved, it's where you belong
And I will be here
When you come home
I waved goodbye through the window and boarded the plane
My first job in Houston was waiting for me
I found a letter from mama tugged in my coat
And as I fueled down the runway I smiled when she wrote
I'll miss you son, you'll be so far away
And I'll be waiting for the day
When you come home, no matter how far
Run through the door and into my arms
It's where you are loved, it's where you belong
And I will be here
When you come home
I don't think she can hear how the doctor told me
Your mama is fading, it's best that you leave
So I whispered "I love you" then turned away
But I stopped at the door when I heard mama say
I love you son, but they're calling me away
And promise me before I go
When you come home, no matter how far
Run through the door and into my arms
It's where you are loved, it's where you belong
And I will be here
When you come home
When you come home
When you come home
