There’s something about Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros’ song Home that really hits a place in my heart.
I have a problem expressing my emotions, unfortunately, because really digging into myself to find the words to express myself have proven to be quite the challenge throughout my entire life.Term papers? Sure, I can spend an hour typing away and extract any information floating around in my brain and translate it onto page. Journals? Hell the fuck no. My journals as an adolescent were all very practical and void of my own voice, filled with systematic graphs, tables, descriptive observations about the people and world around me-but, of course, nothing too personal.
I think I love Home, because it’s an embodiment of how I feel about Michelle and it’s exactly what I would say to her if I could verbally express how I feel in my deepest of heart. Plus it’s presented in such a quirky, americana style that I am convinced if I had any inclination towards music, this is what my music would sound and feel like.
Also, there was a scene in a standard sitcom, Raising Hope, that had this song playing over the main characters. They were having so much fun just being together and loving one another and it tugged on my heartstrings. Unfortunately, the rest of Raising Hope was not as good as that one scene-but it did introduce me to this wonderful song.
