Independent musician and New York City native Rachael Sage knows what it is like to be cooped up at home with nowhere to go.
A couple of years ago Rachael released a song titled “Home (Where I Am Now)”. The current situation has brought a new perspective to the song for Rachael.
As a result, she is planning a new video for the song and is asking fans to participate in the process.
Rachael is asking fans to send in video clips of what they are doing at home. The footage will be edited together to form the new video. Rachael plans to use the video to raise funds to help out the medical workers in New York City on the front lines of the current medical crisis.

“HOME (WHERE I AM NOW)” LYRICS
by Rachael Sage & Fiona Harte
I love this city
Strange beautiful city
Everything about it feels like home
I love this city
I don’t long for anyone to know
Anything about me or
The places I call home
And when I look above at all the skyscrapers at night
I think about the girl I wanna be
I know that every stranger has a dream they keep inside
I wonder which one of them could be me
Home is where you’re taken in
Fearlessly breathing with the wind
Home is where you set your spirit down
I’m at home in all this beauty
Everything about it moves me
I may be from another place but home’s where I am now
Where I am now
I woke up this morning
Inspired by Manhattan’s yawning
City sirens and the buskers circling Union Square
I woke up this morning
Lady Liberty was calling
Me to lose my inhibition
Let loose my tangled hair
And when I look above at all the skyscrapers at night
I think about the girl I wanna be
I know that every stranger has a dream they keep inside
I wonder which one of them could be me
Home is where you’re taken in
Fearlessly breathing with the wind
Home is where you set your spirit down
I’m at home in all this beauty
Everything about it moves me
I may be from another place but home’s where I am now
Where I am now
And all I ever hoped for was the chance
To listen and to be well-listened to
I know some people may long to be rescued in romance
But love is an adventure and I wanna spend it being close to you
Home is where you’re taken in
Fearlessly breathing with the wind
Home is where you set your spirit down
I’m at home in all this beauty
Everything about it moves me
I may be from another place but home’s where I am now
Where I am now, where I am now, where I am now
Where I am now
