M.Byrd - A Better Place (Official Music Video)

A Better Place consists of photographic memories of my first real home away from home in Hamburg. I’ve been thinking a lot about what the word 'home' actually means to me as I am living a life between countries with my little family. There has always been this urge in me to find 'a better place' than the one before and I have found that to be quite paradoxical because the best place you can be is where you are at a given moment. In my little street, everybody is longing for a place like this. Sometimes it’s hopeless, sometimes it works. However, the path of longing never ends.
