Were Going Home Again for the First Time
Dwelling; everyone has a different connexion to it. Some people dear their domicile.
Some people grew upwardly with family members that made their lives difficult.
Ultimately, notwithstanding, domicile is called – information technology's not where you lot ended up by default or even where you grew upwards.
Home is created by y'all, you can make up one's mind where home is.
Still, we all have our unique experiences of dwelling and what it means to us (and in that location's nothing wrong with any of our experiences).
As we've discovered, equally with well-nigh things, music says it best.
And then, hither are some of our favorite songs about home – going dwelling, living at home, broken homes and more.
"Who Says You Can't Go Home" past Bon Jovi
Song year: 2006
This isn't exactly the kickoff time this song has made it on ane of our lists, because it seems to apply to so many situations.
Bon Jovi's "Who Says You Tin't Become Home" is i of their first forays into state-pop.
It tells the story of someone who's been on the route, living the nomadic life.
People often leave home in search of new experiences, away from their family.
They go on vacations to see the sights, take new jobs in new cities, get to schoolhouse to earn their credentials and more.
This song asks, "who says you can't go home?"
At the end of the twenty-four hours, sometimes y'all just want to go home.
When you've seen and done information technology all, in that location'south only one identify to go back to, which is home.
"Have Me Home, Country Roads" by John Denver
Song twelvemonth: 1971
This land classic was written past Nib Danoff, Taffy Nivert and John Denver, specifically nearly Westward Virginia.
Of course, anyone who grew up in the countryside tin can relate.
So can others who eventually concluded upwards moving out to the countryside.
We all have positive feelings about places nosotros've been.
It may or may not exist where we grew up.
It may exist the identify we call "home" today.
This song prompts united states of america to think about the places nosotros've been in our lives and accept a moment to appreciate them.
"Country roads, take me home/To the place I belong/West Virginia, mount mama/Take me habitation, country roads."
"Our House" past Madness
Vocal year: 1982
It feels like this song is nevertheless in high rotation on the radio.
"Our House" paints the moving-picture show of ordinary family life, with each family member doing their own thing.
It tells the story of fond memories and times gone by:
"I remember way back and so when everything was true and when/Nosotros would have such a very proficient time, such a fine fourth dimension/Such a happy time/And I recall how nosotros'd play, simply waste the twenty-four hour period away/So we'd say nothing would come up between us/Two dreamers."
A perceptive listener will detect a hint of sadness underlying the otherwise happy song about family life.
However, it's a good song about home.
"Small-scale Town" by John Mellencamp
Vocal year: 1985
John Mellencamp'south "Small Town" is a song that celebrates small towns.
If you come from a small-scale boondocks, or if you love small towns in general, you lot will dearest this song.
This vocal doesn't necessarily sugarcoat it either, as information technology refers to "piffling opportunity" and "boring romantic."
Information technology's simply saying, at the stop of the day, a small town is the place to exist.
I of the all-time things well-nigh it is that you can be yourself in a pocket-size boondocks.
If you lot love the freedom of small towns, put this song on.
"Mama, I'thou Coming Dwelling house" by Ozzy Osbourne
Vocal year: 1992
A chip of an unusual number for heavy metallic creative person Ozzy Osbourne, "Mama, I'thousand Coming Abode" tin can be interpreted a couple dissimilar ways.
Ane, information technology could be a vocal well-nigh beingness treated badly past the globe and running home to your loved one.
Two, it could be almost a couple that's been struggling in their relationship only still want to make things right.
As far as we're concerned, y'all tin think about the song however you'd prefer to recall about it.
Home is where the comfort is, and if you're running back for comfort, this song is your friend.
"Home" past Daughtry
Song year: 2007
Thematically, "Dwelling" by Daughtry is a lot similar Ozzy'south "Mama, I'chiliad Coming Abode."
It's a vocal about being mistreated and going through challenges.
It'south a vocal about the desire to go back home where the love can be found.
And, equally with "Mama, I'm Coming Home", information technology seems to be talking about a relationship that'southward far from perfect.
Still, the narrator says:
"Then I'm going home/Back to the place where I belong/And where your honey has ever been plenty for me."
If you lot and your special someone are inseparable, this is your song.
"Sweet Abode Alabama" by Lynyrd Skynyrd
Song twelvemonth: 1974
Everyone's favorite vocal about Alabama.
Also existence a vocal that celebrates a place many people phone call "abode", it's as well a song written in response to Neil Young's "Alabama".
Young has afterward gone on to say that his lyrics weren't well thought out and could be hands misinterpreted – information technology could have been a rather general song (not about Alabama specifically) well-nigh bad decisions.
Aside from that, however, this is just a song celebrating everything bully nearly Alabama.
It doesn't matter whether Alabama or another place is your home – if you similar where you come up from, you can relate to this Lynyrd Skynyrd number.
"Our House" by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Immature
Vocal year: 1970
"Our House" by Crosby, All the same, Nash & Immature is first and foremost a romantic song as reflected in these lyrics (as well equally the lyrics found throughout the song):
"Our house is a very, very, very fine house/With 2 cats in a k/Life used to be and then difficult/Now everything is piece of cake cause of you."
When I heed to this song, I imagine a loving couple in a cozy house spending all their fourth dimension together, in their own world.
Information technology'south as well a expert reminder that your house can be whatever you want it to be.
"Habitation" past Jack Johnson
Vocal year: 2006
The opening lyrics to this vocal talk almost a garden that'due south been neglected.
And, I'll exist a monkey'due south uncle if these words weren't rich with metaphor.
More than than likely, this is a song near a relationship that'southward in demand of a scrap of attention.
These repeated lines requite united states a bit of a inkling too:
"So I try to empathize what I can't hold in my hand/And whatever I find, I'll find my way dorsum to yous/And if y'all could try to observe it too/'Cause this place has overgrown with waxing mood/Domicile is wherever we are if there's dear hither too."
Kind of a chilling number when you realize what information technology's nearly.
"Home" by Iggy Pop
Vocal yr: 1990
The primal message in this song seems to be that everybody needs a domicile.
Y'all can get through tough times.
The world tin can leave you feeling tired and weary.
Just if there's a place you can go back to, a identify you can call a haven, you tin feel good almost yourself and your life.
That's dwelling.
If you feel like you've been beaten down by the world, and need to get home, crank this rocker.
"Lights" by Journey
Vocal year: 1978
Ane of Journeying's biggest hits, "Lights" is merely a song about wanting to go home.
Being out on the road can go out you feeling lonely.
Traveling place to place where y'all don't know anyone tin can exist tiring.
Leaving your loved ones (or special loved ane) back at home can exist painful and difficult.
If you're missing home, "Lights" is the answer to your telephone call.
"I Feel Dwelling house" by O.A.R.
Song year: 1999
There are certain things that can remind you of home.
It might be certain people and their faces.
It might be familiar landmarks or neighborhoods.
You lot may not exist welcomed with open arms wherever you lot go.
But home is where everyone accepts you lot for who you are, just equally you are.
That's what "I Feel Abode" is proverb.
"Homeward Bound" by Simon & Garfunkel
Vocal year: 1966
The desire to become home doesn't seem to exist an unusual one for musicians.
Anyone who'south required to travel for work can surely relate.
These words are poignant:
"Every days' an endless stream/Of cigarettes and magazines/And each boondocks looks the same to me, the movies and the factories/And every stranger's confront I see reminds me that I long to exist/Homeward bound."
When your travels seem monotonous, your adventures repetitive, your journeys dull, it'southward time to exist homeward bound.
"Abode Sweet Dwelling" by Mötley Crüe
Song year: 1981
This song is kind of like a "adieu" to life on the route.
It speaks of skilful times and bad times and challenges encountered on the way.
The author longs to exist home, away from all the difficulties.
"Dwelling Sweet Domicile" is where the comfort is found.
If you lot're tried of bumping upwards against one challenge after another, this glam metal ballad might just lift your spirits.
"Take Me Home" by Phil Collins
Song yr: 1985
Yous can't expect a Phil Collins vocal to be forthcoming in its significant, considering it rarely is.
If you want to take it at face value, certainly it could be about a human who wants to go dwelling house.
When you read the verses, notwithstanding, you lot detect that this man is basically stuck in a room or building he can't escape from.
The narrator also says, "I've been a prisoner all my life."
Still, he also talks about working by day and sleeping at night.
So, to me, the vocal is about wanting to escape the ordinary life and beingness trapped in your ain thoughts and emotions.
That's not the about pop estimation of the song, but it makes sense to me.
"Take The Long Way Home" by Roger Hodgson
Vocal twelvemonth: 1979
Funny how songs accept different meanings than y'all might accept thought.
When you lot listen to Roger Hodgson's cheery mega-hit, it'due south easy to recall this is but a song nigh taking in the scenery and enjoying the moment.
"Accept The Long Way Dwelling", however, is almost a married couple whose relationship is going awry.
The husband feels mistreated by his wife, who he claims used to treat him well.
Fifty-fifty though he's adored by his fans, his wife doesn't even notice him anymore.
I tin relate to the sentiment if only considering I've had roommates that made my life difficult, which made me want to "Take The Long Manner Home."
"Tin can't Find My Fashion Home" by Blind Faith
Song year: 1969
The spare lyrics in "Can't Find My Way Home" speaks of someone the narrator sees as arrogant and prideful – information technology could even be himself.
He feels this person needs to modify.
He likewise says this person holds the cardinal to something.
His heart?
The success of the relationship?
A future he enjoys?
We're not entirely sure and we're left to wonder.
The protagonist admits that "I'm wasted and I can't notice my manner home."
What nosotros do know is that he's in search of something he doesn't have the time for anymore (is he dying?).
It's a weird vocal, simply a skilful one, withal.
"Let Me Take You Home Tonight" by Boston
Vocal yr: 1976
At that place are no hidden meanings to Boston's "Let Me Take Y'all Home This night."
The protagonist is in love and he wants to evidence this special someone "sugariness delight."
It sounds a lot like what he imagined himself proverb to the girl he's infatuated with:
"You lot must understand this, I've watched you lot for then long/That I feel I've known yous, I know it tin can't be wrong/If we only get together, I desire to brand you meet/I'one thousand dreaming of your sugariness love tonight, so mamma let information technology be."
"Nobody'due south Home" past Deep Purple
Song year: 1984
To exist honest, lyrically, "Nobody'south Home" is kind of a weird vocal.
Basically, information technology seems to be a song almost someone who feels superior to the protagonist in the vocal.
The protagonist is proverb there's "nobody's dwelling" – in other words, they don't think the person they're talking about is altogether too bright.
If you recollect of it like an argument that's unfolding, that can help yous make sense of the tune.
"Home By The Sea" past Genesis
Vocal year: 1983
This song is conspicuously about people who are being held captive.
This, of course, makes these words kind of unsettling:
"Assist united states of america someone, let united states out of here/'Crusade living hither so long undisturbed/Dreaming of the time we were gratis/And then many years agone/Earlier the fourth dimension when we first heard/Welcome to the abode past the body of water."
The "home by the sea" clearly isn't a pleasant identify.
"Dwelling house" past Sheryl Crow
Song twelvemonth: 1996
Sheryl Crow's "Dwelling house" is a melancholy song about being brokenhearted.
The lyrics fox you a footling bit because information technology sounds happy at kickoff, but these lines certainly give it away:
"I woke this morning/To the sound of breaking hearts/Mine is total of questions/And it'due south violent yours apart."
And then, what exactly does the chorus mean?
The lyrics are but:
"This is home, dwelling/And this is dwelling house/And this is habitation/This is home."
Seems like a strange choice of words when the song is almost a dwelling house falling autonomously.
This is just my estimation of the lyrics, simply information technology could exist that each "dwelling" is referring to a unlike station in a relationship.
At kickoff, home is falling in love.
At the stop, domicile is a love falling apart.
"Dwelling Tonight" by Aerosmith
Song year: 1976
Lyrically, "Dwelling This night" is a simplistic vocal.
It's a flake of an odd one, though, because the lyrics seem contradictory.
The poesy and pre-chorus are basically saying "goodbye", while the chorus is saying agree on.
Information technology could be an exploration of the many contradictory emotions you experience when going through a breakdown.
But most likely it'south only a farewell song.
"Dear, I'm Dwelling house" by Shania Twain
Song year: 1997
This is basically a vocal about a working-class woman who'due south stressed about everything going incorrect.
Information technology'south nigh feeling relieved when you finally get abode after a long 24-hour interval.
So, if yous've had all you can take, and y'all're gear up to blitz habitation, here'southward your Shania Twain country anthem.
"Honey, I'm home and I had a hard solar day/Pour me a cold ane and oh, past the way/Rub my feet, gimme something to eat/Fix me upward with my favorite care for."
"Long Walk Home" past Bruce Springsteen
Vocal year:
Not surprisingly, "Long Walk Dwelling" by Bruce Springsteen is a breakup song.
Like Aerosmith's "Home Tonight", however, it seems a tad dislocated.
The verses pigment a brilliant picture of what the lonely walk home was like.
But the chorus says:
"It's gonna be a long walk domicile/Hey pretty darling, don't wait upwardly for me/Gonna be a long walk home."
Okay, and so who exactly is waiting for you after yous've cleaved up?
But thank you for letting us know, Boss.
Thanks.
"Welcome Home (Sanitarium)" by Metallica
Song twelvemonth: 1996
This isn't a song about welcoming anybody habitation.
It'south Metallica – what did you wait?
It's more a song nigh being broken and wounded and wanting to stay in one's sanitarium (which, in this case, seems to refer to a identify a person is held until they heal).
Wikipedia tells us that information technology'south a song nigh a patient who was wrongly put in a mental institution.
Well, that's a pleasant idea.
"Home" past Depeche Mode
Song year: 1997
Depeche Style (sometimes jokingly chosen "Depress Fashion") rarely has a happy song.
The funny thing is that this song comes right out and tells you in the opening line:
"Here is a song from the wrong side of boondocks."
As the narrator lists off the misery he experienced, he finally concedes that this gloom is dwelling:
"And I thank you for bringing me here/For showing me home/For singing these tears/Finally I've found that I belong here."
Simply sounds similar teen angst to me.
"Y'all're My Home" by Billy Joel
Vocal year: 1973
"You're My Home" is a song about a wanderer who finally finds home in his honey.
Abode is not a place – it'south a person.
That seems to exist the cardinal message in this song.
And, the writer exclaims:
"Well I'll never exist a stranger/And I'll never be alone/Wherever we're together/That's my home."
There are plenty of songs that equate love with home.
If you experience like you lot've found a home in the person y'all love, you'll relish this song.
"Dwelling Now" by No Doubt
Song year: 2000
"Home At present" is one of many breakup songs via No Doubtfulness.
Every bit the protagonist says:
"If y'all lived here you'd exist home now/If you lived here you'd be home now."
The rest of the song goes onto explain what went wrong.
Though the protagonist wishes afterward loved lost, he'southward non coming back.
"Leaving Home Ain't Easy" by Queen
Song yr: 1978
The protagonist in this song seems to exist leaving a place he once called abode.
He explains:
"I'm all through the lies/I'thou all tired of tears/I'm a happy man/Don't information technology wait that manner/Shakin' grit from my shoes/In that location's a route ahead/And at that place'southward no manner back home (no way dorsum home)."
Despite the troubles he's gone through, he admits leaving home isn't like shooting fish in a barrel.
It'due south likely a breakup song but I'one thousand non entirely certain.
"Welcome Home" by Coheed And Cambria
Vocal year: 2005
Although the lyrics in this song can come off as heady and poetic, "Welcome Domicile" is basically just an emo vocal nigh a breakup.
Simply, you know, people savour melodrama and all that – who am I to judge?
The words, "Welcome Home", by the way, don't appear anywhere in the lyrics, so we're not exactly certain what that's nigh.
The narrator could be saying "this is life – so exist it."
These lyrics are probably the near direct in the song:
"One final osculation for you/One more wish 'til you lot/Please brand up your heed girl, I'll do anything for you."
If you demand to revisit your teen angst, this is a good vocal.
"Home" past Goo Goo Dolls
Song year: 2010
At first glance, "Home" seems like it would exist a vocal nigh ane-night stands.
Based on the verses, however, that doesn't seem to be the case.
It seems like the protagonist is tired of trying to be friendly to people that he doesn't care about and people who don't care about him – "friends."
We all know what information technology's like to have "friends."
So, in a way, this song is a phone call for help.
It could be a song with romantic intent, but the way I look at information technology is that the protagonist is only calling out for assist in full general.
Songs About Domicile, Last Thoughts
Isn't it fascinating to come across the many means people call back nigh home?
Just because a song has the discussion "home" in the title doesn't mean that's what it'due south about.
Home can be a metaphor or an analogy for a variety of things.
Paying attending to these nuances can enrich your appreciation for lyrics, and for that affair, music in general.
We hope you lot enjoyed this list and have found some inspiration for songs near home.
