So I’m up here (near Disneyland incidentally), tracking a song that may or may not be used for the next Narnia movie." On a March 22, 2008 blog, Foreman announced that the song's name would be "This Is Home". It was confirmed on April 2, 2008 by the Narnia Insider.〔(Switchfoot Will Record a Song and a video for the Narnia Soundtrack! ) – published April 2, 2008 (retrieved April 5, 2008)〕〔(Switchfoot on Prince Caspian Soundtrack ) – published April 3, 2008 (retrieved April 5, 2008)〕 The song was performed for the first time live at University of Iowa's Iowa Memorial Union on Wednesday night, April 16, 2008.〔(Switchfoot "This Is Home" ) - published April 17, 2008 (retrieved April 22, 2008).〕 Foreman said, "I'm a huge C.S. Lewis fan and one of the big reasons I love his writing is because there's a longing in every page of his fiction and non-fiction... He doesn't create worlds that are picture perfect, but they feel real, they feel like they could exist, and thats because it feels like this world here where we're all longing for things to be set right."〔(This Is Home clip ) - Published April 23, 2008 (retrieved April 26, 2008)〕 "‘This Is Home’ was inspired by the book after re-reading it for the opportunity to write for the film. I am always taken by (S. ) Lewis' ability to write about the bittersweet beauty in this world; this home we aren’t really made for but is the place we work out our humanity in the midst of our longing for our true home."〔() - published April 23, 2008 (Retrieved April 23, 2008)〕 The song was also featured on ESPN ''SportsCenters "Titletown" segment which ran throughout July 2008. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「This Is Home」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
