This year on January 31st, Home turned five years old. I wasn’t able to post anything to commemorate it because I didn’t even realize it has been that long. It’s one of those songs with an alluring and mythical history: came to me in a dream. finished in one sitting. released for a high-profile wedding.
At the time that I was writing Home, I wasn’t in a good place, emotionally. I also felt like I had absolutely no experience OR authority to be talking about enduring love. Now I’m supposed to be writing for a wedding? But I had to say yes, the way I do when big and scary opportunities land on my lap. I say yes without thinking of the fear first. Then I’ll just figure it out along the way. Love, it turns out, is a universal emotion. Despite my doubts, I had it in me to write this song from an honest and true place.
To this day, Home is still my most popular song. I still get a lot of emails asking if they could play this at their wedding. When I would do meet-and-greets (a time long gone now lol huhu), every now and then there’d be a couple saying that Home is their song. It’s the song that scored their falling in love. What a privilege to be able to write a song that becomes part of people’s consciousness when they think about their greatest loves.
Now that Home has turned five, and in human years it is now running off to a playground somewhere, I wanted to give it what it should have had a long time ago. Enjoy!
