“Home is where you can say anything you please, because nobody pays any attention to you anyway”

Home is more than just a roof over your head with four walls. People can search for their home for all their lives if the feel discontent. People write plays and make movies about home. They even sing about it. Below are a few lines from a couple of songs that focus around the concept of home. I believe each one focus' on a different aspect of home. this just shows that no two peoples idea of a home is the same.

Home - Michael Buble

Maybe surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
I just wanna go home

Home - Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros

Home, Let me come Home
Home is Whenever Im with you
Home, yes I am Home
Home is wherever Im with you
Lalalala Take me Home
Mama Im Coming Home



and, perhaps, my personal favorite for obvious reasons :)

I've been to cities that never close down
From New York to Rio and old London town
But no matter how far
Or how wide I roam
I still call Australia home

I'm always travelin'
And I love bein' free
So I keep leavin' the sun and the sea
But my heart lies waiting over the foam
I still call Australia home

All the sons and daughters spinning 'round the world
Away from their families and friends
Ah, but as the world gets older and colder
It's good to know where your journey ends

And someday we'll all be together once more
When all the ships come back to the shore
Then I realize something I've always known
I still call Australia home

No matter how far
Or how wide I roam
I still call Australia home

  1. Hey Francesca,
    Okay first I really liked the poem about Austrailia. Second, since I am an international student too I feel the same way about my home Nepal. Afterall home is where the heart is.

  2. I liked these two songs but the title of this post threw me a little off because i don't necessarily find that to be true. I feel like my family always listens to me at home and are there to listen to any problems.
