3 Doors Down Can't Shake Nasty Case Of Homesickness

Like their previous single, 'Here Without You' is about being away.

Since The Better Life broke three years ago, Brad Arnold has been on the road more often than not. It's not surprising, then, that 3 Doors Down's latest single is about being homesick. Its predecessor was.

Last week in Los Angeles, the band shot a video for "Here Without You" with director Marc Webb (AFI, Unwritten Law), who also helmed the clip for the The Better Life single "Duck and Run." The song, a crossover top-40 hit in three radio formats, follows up "When I'm Gone," another tune about being in one place while your heart is someplace else.

Arnold wrote "Here Without You," which repeatedly features the line "I'm here without you, baby, but you're still on my lonely mind," for his wife, whom he married in May 2001. The video, according to the band's publicist, features studio footage of 3 Doors Down interspersed with images of tour buses, soundchecks, hotels and other bits of life on the road.

Incidentally, "The Road I'm On," another track from the band's latest album, Away From the Sun, touches on the same topic. It was featured prominently in NASCAR promotions and received some airplay as a result.

The "Here Without You" video is being edited and is expected to surface early next month. Hopefully 3 Doors Down can enjoy its premiere before heading off for yet another leg of their seemingly endless tour, beginning October 9 in Athens.
