The Story Behind the Song
In the fall of 2018, I was back home on Oahu for my grandfather‘s funeral. I had a couple extra days after my family went home. I went and upgraded my phone and took some shots of me goofing off with my friends. That footage became the music video for our lead single, #BanyanTree. This song ponders the question, what is home to you? For me, it’s enjoying the place where I grew up, Honolulu — the people, the sights, the sounds, the food, the music, the ohana, the aloha. And then, suddenly realizing you’re on a plane back to Seattle. Was it a dream? How are you always in my dreams?
-Ben, Theory of Change
