Travellers often find it hard to talk about home since it’s a concept hard to define or understand when living in different places. Here’s ten of my favourite songs about home I like to listen to when feeling nostalgic about this concept that has become so strange to me.
1. Passenger – Home
“They say home is where the heart is
but my heart is wild and free
So am I homeless
Or just heartless?”
2. Phillip Phillips – Home
“If you get lost, you can always be found
Just know you’re not alone
Cause I’m going to make this place your home”
3. Backstreet Boys – No Place
“I’ve been all around the world, done all there is to do
But you’ll always be the home I wanna come home to”
4. Jack Johnson – Home
“Home is wherever we are if there’s love here too”
5. Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros – Home
“Ah, home, let me go home
Home is wherever I’m with you”
6. Cinematic Orchestra – To Build a Home
“Cause, I built a home
For you
For me
Until it disappeared
From me
From you
And now, it’s time to leave and turn to dust”
7. Harrison Storm – Sense of Home
“Tell your brother you’re listening to his dreams
Tell your sister she is all you need
Tell your mother she is the only one
And your father has made you all that you’ve become”
8. John Denver – Take Me Home, Country Roads
“Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads”
9. Zac Brown Band – Two places at one time
“And my heart knows a way back home
When the wind sings that old familiar song”
10. Veritasaga – Dor de Casa (Homesickness)
“Home is where your heart is
Where people do not let you fall
Home is where your mind is”
