The background story for those who are interested: I wrote the main melody for 'Carried Home' way back in 2014, after I had just joined university. I tried making it into a full piece but couldn't ever get the style right and eventually abandoned the idea altogether, and so it sat for nearly four years. That is of course until last year when making _39 Seconds_ . I had stumbled across Tom, Kaitlin and Megan on a KZfaq video and realised the potential for the piece if I got other musicians involved; so after speaking to Tom at some length (who kindly got in contact with me after seeing a comment I wrote), finally got the ideas together, wrote the lyrics, and arranged a recording session. Eva and I had been discussing doing a road trip for a while, and so I suggested we make this journey to Scotland not just a trip for the recordings, but for the opportunity of seeing the north of England and Scotland in all of its beauty. The idea for making it into a film came pretty much simultaneously. Whilst it's been hard work and very time consuming to edit, colour grade, design both the sound and write the music, it has been a hugely enjoyable experience, one that I hope to have again. I know there's a lot I could have done better with this film and I'll look forward to having the opportunity to improve in the future. Let me know what you think of it, I would be glad of constructive criticism, and I hope you enjoy Where the Earth Meets the Sky!

I'm so glad that I could join the premiere. You're not only an amazing composer but also entertaining and know how to put everything perfectly in scene. In addition, all the musicians were incredibly good and all in all makes the song Carried Home so beautiful. Thanks again for sharing this whole experience!

I never thought I'd be so excited to see a "vlogumentary". This was amazing! It reminds me of all the times I used to travel and made me feel like I was right there with you guys. ^^ Hearing Kaitlin (I hope I'm spelling that right) made me smile and I couldn't resist singing the song right alongside her. Seeing [more of] the behind-the-scenes of your music is absolutely stunning; you never cease to amaze me and many others! Thank you for this Marcus--words can't express how much I enjoyed watching this and how much I love the album.

Another brilliant blend of cinematography and music. Really showing your talent here Marcus, keep up these amazing new pieces!

In 50 minutes, I felt like traveling for days. I do not usually travel much (lack of means), and that was really nice to discover. The music and video were really well orchestrated, fluid, and pleasant to listen to and watch. It's incredible to think you did it yourself, alone (music and video) or with great musicians (Kaitlin is a musician too, the voice is an instrument). Many thanks for those feelings Marcus !

This my friends, is the revolution of music, where resonance occurs between the soul and chords.

Thank you for taking us on a journey. Really felt sometimes as if i was right there, especially about 29:00

That was the icing on the cake for me, serious hats off to all involved, bought it and been giving it a proper killing every chance i get since

THIS. WAS. AWESOME. I love the music SO MUCHH! Awesome job on this Marcus!!

Scotland looks amazing! Hopefully i can visit it one day.

Going through the journey with Marcus and Eva is amazing, but the music recorded and the cinematography is absolutely beautiful. Worth a watch, two watches...perhaps three.

It feels like everything you've done, from the early days of Evening Star to now, have been leading to this moment. And it paid off. I can't wait to see what else the future holds for you!

My God! I'm watching this and I'm so glad that I found this video. This is what the real journey should be. The whole purpose of a trip is not just going and seeing places, but actually expressing your feelings through art (the art of photography, the art of sound, etc.), those feelings that were born out there, in places like Isle of Skye, Glenco. Marcus, I'd be listening "Where the Earth Meets the Sky" on my very first trip to Scotland. Thank you for all of this.

Hey guys, I just found this nice documentary while searching for something about Scotland. I was on Skye with my girlfriend in May 2019, hiked the Skye Trail for one week and afterwards travelled around Scotland with a campervan for two weeks. Honestly, I don't know why but this landscape and the people there thrills me more than my trip through Nepal. Would be happy to see something from you with a bit more time for the island or the norht of Scotland. Durness is a nice place. You should go there... However, thanks for this very nice and touching film.

This was amazing. You guys are an inspiration. The filmwork was fantastic, and the music for this project is my favorite that you've made. You really let us glimpse what the road trip was like, with your music pairing with the atmospheres perfectly. I've been listening to the soundtrack regularly since you released it last week, so it's been great to see how that amazing music came to be. Watching this was worth every minute.

Scotland is my heritage, to see this with such exceptional film skill as well just makes my heart melt 💜

This is so beautiful and just... amazing! I almost have no words to describe how much I love and enjoyed it! You are one talented person, Marcus! I look forward to the content you’ll bring us in the future!

That was an amazing experience! It's really great that you invited us to peak a bit into the process you go through to create the music we all enjoy! Kudos to Eva for those gorgeous drone shots.

Marcus and Eva... I went into your trip. Your music is amazing. Cheers from Argentina.

Awesome! I'm in love with Scotland. Congrats.

Absolutely loved it! i hope to see more of these in the future!

Stunning

That was absolutely wonderful!

You Make this world a better place. Thank you for being you and taking this path in life. your music is so healing and to see these beautiful places of the world really soothes the soul.

This is beautiful cinematography. I feel that you captured the experience extraordinarily.

Absolutely beautiful

The end with the rapid clips showing in play with the drums in the song at 48:56 just to me fit the ending very well like a movie in another world.

Looove this!

Thoroughly enjoyed this. Thankyou

This was a lovely video and the music got me in tears, it is so beautiful. Thank you Marcus.

Thank you so much for taking us on this journey with you. It seems you had a wonderful time and the music that resulted from this trip is incredible beautiful. Thank you!

Goodness, this was a treat to watch! Keep up the good work

loved this !!! its been so many years since was there, thank you !! pleas make more like this !!

I'm an old man now, but I used to be heavy into music. Never did anything big and nobody knows my name, but I've played over much of the US and some in Europe as a guitarist in a country band. My wife is from England and I've been there, but i've never been to Scotland. Both sides of my family came from Scotland in the 18th century and settled in the Blue Ridge mountains where we still live. I would love to take the trip you show here, but spend several days in Scotland if I can ever get back over there. Thank you for a very good video with incredible music; just what I needed on this stuck-in-the-house, rainy day.

I loved this video and its wonderful sceneries (your music is also as amazing).

Absolutely amazing! My compliments to you and everyone else who had a part in making this project as good as it is. As a photographer, I like your use of the wide screen format. The video and sound track reminded me again that there are so many places in this world that I would like to visit and people I would like to meet... Thanks for sharing this wonderful event with all of us.

Anything associated with Scotland and I'm hooked, I fell in love with the place decades ago. Thank you for sharing this with us, I loved it !

I came back to this album and video for a story I was writing. It's helping me so much, the way you filmed the stunning landscapes of Scotland inspires me to continue writing it.

I love your work so much. Just look at the cinematography. Listen to the music!!! Wow!!!

An amazing documentary.... Euh stop ! No ! Maybe the Best Documentary taking best of music and nature ! Staying in my heart forever ;') ! Kiss from France Marcus !

Thank you so much Marcus for this wonderful movie/vlog! I absolutely loved everything about it.

This video is amazing! Everything! It’s so beautiful! Good edition, music.. I love it

My my, you just gave me the perfect amount of nostalgia and calm I needed. This is truly a masterpiece.

This film has carried me through the absolute lockdown when i could not be outside anywhere far and was stuck alone for weeks and months, and now I come back to it as my comfort piece

Totally loved the visceral experience, how wonderfully you bring forth the realities of travelling n at times being creeped out, yet carrying on!

That was amazing!

Beautiful piece of music with an even more beautiful story behind it. I hope, to one day experience an adventure like this!

Thanks for having us for this, Marcus. This was a great time and I look forward to much future content.

Superb work. Carried Home is my epic song for the Highlands and Skye. It takes me back there every time I hear it. It is so emotive. Well done to all the artists.

Wow, what a film! Marcus, you are not just an exceptional musician but also an extraordinary filmmaker! I truly hope you go on to do amazing things!

Absolutely incredibly!! Music and footage are just breath-taking. Thanks for sharing part of your world with us.

There are emotions in every parts of your work. I sincerely wish you all the best in your career. Totally deserved.

Absolutely amazing ! the lanscapes are just stunning and the music is incredible, thank you so much for sharing this with us :D ! everytime i see your evolution and how talented you are. You're definitly one of my favorite composers ! keep going ! you will go far !

how inspiring! thanks for making this film

Excellent work, I was very impressed.

Astounding.

Love the sfx editing shots! Great

Wow. What a great video and I love your music. It really feels like Scotland, what your music expresses. Amazing

I... Im truly at a loss of words here, its amazing on how you managed to travel across scotland not to only tour around the country but also make your greatest song! Its even amazing on how you made this feel like a short film on a vlog of traveling across Scotland and making your piece! I truly hope that your musical art will live on through out the ages, stay creative Marcus ;)

I can't wait to film here! Love this, great work.

What a wonderful journey..Enjoyed the vibe of the film a lot!

Wow! Such an amazing music, and cinematography! Thank you for bringing such good music to us! Lovin' it here from Philippines!

Awesome! Your video cinematography and the music on the background is awesome! Keep up the great work!

Just watched this in Australia and thoroughly enjoyed the video and the music.

Great film !!

This is so incredibly well done I am in shock there aren't more views. I definitely left a part of my heart behind in Glasgow when I studied abroad there so seeing this is very heartwarming. Thank you for sharing your incredible talent!

Just watched it and it was beautiful. It truly shows the process of creating music, and the amazing sights and moments that inspire and elevate each creation. Bravo!

I really liked this!

DUDE. WTF. This was really awesome, I love your voice, the sweet and passion of this video.

Now I know why your compositions sound so unique, cause you immerse yourself right through the core of your inspirations. Feels like your mapping a place through music! Still the best, Marcus!

this whole movie, music, scenery...an experience i wish i could watch again for the first time. i hope to see more ike this from you :D truly inspirational

Beautiful. All of it. :')

Beautiful!! I think this is kinda evening movies one should watch! Informative and the sceneries and music...amazing! Scotland is just stunning country but nothing is only perfect 😇 yet this country stole my heart and I even dedicated my channel mostly to Scotland because it’s just such inspiring country.

thank you so much for sharing your journey! I've been feeling down lately and this helped me to escape for a little while.

I found the soundtrack last week and fell in love faster than a rock falls off the mountains of Scotland. To have experienced that first, and then watched this... it's made me appreciate how much you've put into your music, it really has. How much of what you've seen and heard, felt and thought - bound up so beautifully in music, and now film. Perhaps this film isn't the most polished, or the best shot/edited (particularly during night scenes and a few panoramas), but I think it was that same roughness that got me to do away with all the (admittedly high) expectations I'd had, to just sit back and enjoy the ride. Despite the occasionally awkward formality, you and Eva come across as amazingly fun people to hang out with, with keen eyes for the beauty in this world, and proved skill in turning it into scene and song. Thank you for bringing us on this road trip. I hope for many more to come.

Brilliant piece of work. Makes me want to go to Scotland. The wife still has relatives in Dundee. Hope to get there someday. Beautiful video and even as great music. Thanks for sharing your trip.

Wow this was awesome ! 😱 I'm love it ! 😍

Absolutely loved this video. Makes me yearn to travel to the UK area again. Was not expecting such good cinematography !! Please make more, and travel to Ireland as well. I have now discovered your music. Excellent.

This was beyond fantastic Marcus, I can only imagine the amount of work that it required! All of the wonderful shots makes me miss living in the UK! I hope you had a fantastic trip, and I hope all continues to go well for you! You're extremely talented!

AH !! OUTSTANDING ---- MARCUS WARNER ------- SUPERB , GREAT , STUNNING MUSIC YOU HAVE CREATED !!!! FRPM U.K.

Thanks for bringing a gorgeous journey to my still life in my room making art and nothing else

What a gem, really enjoyed story line and photography. This outclassed anything the mainstream media can produce.. Brilliant, thank you...

Marcus, you should be in charge of directing movies along with the music in it! This was nothing short of epic!

😭oh well, you still should watch it even if it's just a little. Because the singing and the birthday cake scene is the best!!

I usually dont care for documentaries but both the music and the cinematography are just fantastic here :O

Your cinematography skills are unmatched

So I randomly found one of your songs a few years ago on an “epic music mix” and I loved it so much that I searched out more of your stuff. It was one of those happy accidents that I am very thankful for. Your music, photography, and videography is really captivating, keep it going!

You made a beautiful movie...thanks from USA...don't know if I'll ever make it there...looks like heaven

This is a great documentary! The style is calm yet interesting-and editing is smart:)

Amazing video, amazing music, amazing landscapes, amazing shots, is there anything else I can call amazing in this masterpiece? Everything here is just amazing. Congratulations on such a cool job Marcus!!!

Mate.... that lapse sequence of edinburgh was unbeleivable!

Your editing skills are 🔥🔥. Loved the video.

Youve done a seeiously good job on this video

OMG!! I can’t believe this existed for two years until I noticed it D.; So awesome and looking forward to not miss the ‚part 2‘ Twice Above the Atlantic ^-*

It's 3am in buenos aires, Argentina. In three month i'm moving to scotland with my girldfriend. I was looking for a documentary on scotland and UK to get a little bit the idea of what Im going to find there, when I stumbled with your road-trip documentary, and let me tell you it is just what I was looking for. You really show me the scotland and UK i was looking for.

This was amazing Marcus. I felt like you put your soul into this film, everything is so cinematic and the music and the stunning landscapes, I love it all! Thank you for this incredible experience! Now I will listen to loops of carried away!

Wow, that is some gorgeous countryside! I'll be visiting Skye for the first time next year, and this just increases the hype factor by a lot! :)

This is incredibly uplifting Fifth Dimension music for the Ascension of the Soul, during the New Age. And Marcus Warner is the Master.

this is so amazing man!

This is by far the widest vid I've ever seen on youtube. I likes.
