After the global success of its smashing hit "Say Something" featuring the guest vocals of Christina Aguilera, the New York based pop duo A Great Big World has ready the follo-up and third official single taken from their debut album "Is There Anybody Out There?" on which Chad Vaccarino and Ian Axel infuse their brand of pop with an extra dash of creativity that isn't known as EDM, hip-hop, or 'swagger,' and show the world they are both contemporary and vintage, which is definitely a balanced approach.
The next single is the piano ballad "Already Home," which has already impacted the American Contemporary radio. This was one of the first tunes that the A Great Big World pair wrote together; it was originally an Axel solo song. They recalled to The Huffington Post: "We just kinda forgot about it. It was put on the back burner. It wasn't until we were choosing songs for the A Great Big World album that we stumbled upon a demo of it and it just hit us differently than it ever had." The duo explained the song's meaning: "We were on the road a ton and were dealing with being away from home and loved ones," they said. "The idea is that we are always 'home.' Love transcends any distance."
"Already Home" slows the tempo and opting for more mid-tempo fare. Even though it's slower, there still plenty of energy and overall excitement behind the shared vocals, particularly as the cut builds in intensity. Vocal harmonies and soaring strings help to guide "Already Home" to its remarkable fever pitch, only to settle down as the cut closes. As they singing: "If only New York wasn't so far away/ I will be there every step of the way/ When you're scared and alone,/ Just know that I'm already home."
The duo shot the music video for "Already Home" this past weekend, which is a very literal interpretation of the romantic tune's lyrics, follows the story of a couple, played by "Glee" star Darren Criss in L.A. and "Gossip Girl" actress Jessica Szohr in NYC, who endures a long-distance relationship and going about their separate lives but constantly mirroring one another. At first, they have no problems with the long-distance relationship. They later have a huge fight and eventually decide to meet each other in person. At the end, you can see both purchasing flight tickets to visit the other, and their airplanes taking off. The conclusion is a big 'kiss' scene. But, didn't they just mess it up?

I love this song.. I just connected with an old high school crush from over 30 years ago on FB. The only problem is he lives IL and I live in NY.. We got really close but keeping the relationship at perspective level. He is trying to relocate to NY waiting for a job offer..
