Behind the notes:
Home
“Home” holds an even deeper significance for me, considering my personal experiences of constantly moving across countries and houses. The lyrics resonate with the restless soul within me, as no four walls have ever truly felt like home. The perpetual cycle of relocation, knowing that we would eventually move away again, prevented me from fully embracing any physical space as my sanctuary.
After more than 13 years of residing in Italy, a place I returned to after a series of transitions, I found myself grappling with conflicting emotions. While I initially faced challenges during the early years and throughout my university education, a growing desire to venture out and continue my search for a place to call home has emerged within me. It’s a need that has intensified over time, pushing me to explore the possibility of moving once again.
As I embark on the process of planning and contemplating my next move, the lyrics of “Home” take on a deeply personal significance. They reflect my longing to break free from the constraints of a place that never quite fulfilled my longing for home. The search for that one place to belong becomes a continuing narrative in my life, as I seek a space that resonates with my essence and provides a true sense of belonging.
While the lyrics of the song encapsulate the essence of my journey, the exploration of my impending move and the contemplation of where to go next deserve their own narrative. It’s a story that is still unfolding, one that holds the promise of discovery and the potential to find the home I’ve been yearning for.
In essence, “Home” encapsulates the profound longing and complexities of my personal experiences, shaped by the constant movement and the deep-rooted desire to find a place to call home. It serves as a poignant expression of my ongoing search and the emotions tied to the quest for a space that embraces me, allowing me to finally find solace and a true sense of belonging.
