Daniel Gildenlöw von Pain of Salvation kommentiere das Video wie folgt:
“We had the greatest time shooting this video. We went up north to an old fisher village where Johanna’s family has rented old fisher cabins in the summers since her father was a little child. I have spent time there with her since we met twenty years ago and I love the place. No phones, no television, just the ocean and nature and these old cabins. It seemed the perfect place to shoot the video for 1979. So, we spent a few days there, the entire band with families and Johanna’s sisters and their families, and we just had a wonderful time together. I remember standing in the store googling beer brands to find out which bottles had remained most the same since the 70s, hahaha.
We had many scripted scenes that we shot but that never ended up in the final video – some nude bathing and Ragnar jumping into the water with his clothes on from a row boat. In the end Stefan Daniels (the director) decided to go with the small gestures and made Sandrian and his kite be the heart of the video, which was a perfect decision.
My favorite clips are probably the ones at the breakfast table in the cabin and the one in front of the cinema, simply because, to me, they capture the air of the late 70s so perfectly, as I knew them. It almost hurts to watch those clips, and I’m close to tearing up every time. My intellect knows perfectly well that these are new recordings, but my heart connects at a split second and breaks from the loss of an era.”

Das Statement von Daniel Gildenlöw zum “Falling Home” Release sieht folgendermaßen aus:
“Damn, it will be so nice finally to have this album see the light of day in a context larger than my head, our rehearsing room and a multitude of work computers and hard drives in selected homes. It has been a long time, and the road to release has been very complicated and unexpected, including finding myself in hospital for four entire months after a close call with flesh eating bacteria. Who would have guessed as we set out to record a quick little acoustic something all those many months ago in what seems like another lifetime by now? On the other hand, it has turned this album into so much more than we ever expected it to be. I find the term “acoustic album” very misleading. This album is as bold a statement as any of our albums, and will in the same way offer laughter, tears, surprises and challenges. If it’s not original, if it’s not uncompromisingly passionate, then it’s not Pain of Salvation.”
“Falling Home” ist ein sehr spezielles Album, bestehend aus neuarrangierten Akustikversionen von PoS Kataloghighlights, sowie zwei Coverversionen (“Holy Diver” von Dio und “Perfect Day” von Lou Reed) und einem brandneuen Song (dem Titeltrack, “Falling Home”).
