home sweet home (#12)

what is it about the word home? it stirs up so much emotion & memory. some good & some bad. i just spent the better part of the last 2 days packing, moving, cleaning & making a new home for myself. but home is more than just the space that's carved out for me in this old house. this playlist is dedicated to all the people & places that have been home to me & all the people i've shared a home with.

Listen to Danny's playlist!!
---


1. There's No Home For You Here by The White Stripes - ever lived with someone you just wish would go away? this song is smangin'. smashin' & bangin'.


2. This Is Home by Switchfoot - i think home is about belonging & this song describes it so beautifully.


3. Walking Far From Home by Iron & Wine - this guy has seen some crazy $#%!... but seriously... the first time i heard this song i was so pleased. and each time after.


4. Home by Jack Johnson - this is gonna be one of those playlists where it's more important to remember the artist than the name of the song...


5. Home by Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeroes - "home is whenever i'm with you."


6. Home by Mumford & Sons - just stumbled on this one! love me some mumf!


7. Home by LCD Soundsystem


8. After We Have Left Our Homes by MethMouth - inside jokes are the worst. this song is actually by MuteMath. "when can we start over?" such a cool interlude!


9. Honey Come Home by The Head and the Heart


10. Home by Sherwood - when i was a youth pastor for a couple years, i had to listen to a lot of music like this... make myself as relatable as possible. this band actually rubbed off on me.


11. Home by She & Him - "it doesn't get better than home, now does it?"


12. Find My Way Home by William Fitzsimmons - this guy makes some incredibly sweet music. he sings in almost a whisper which packs each song with such strong emotion.


13. I Was Young When I Left Home by Antony with Bryce Dessner - originally a bob dylan tune! dylan covers rule!


14. Is There a Ghost by Band of Horses - this is the only song on the playlist without home in the title, but i believe it's earned a spot. sometimes you just need a few simple lyrics to create an amazing song.


i'm glad to be home again... & when i leave this place, i'll be glad to be home again.
