A haunting folk ballad that retells an old tale from the Northern Sea. Performed by Arlo Novak (guitar, vocals) and Nico Lysander (piano, vocals), the song weaves a story of love against a backdrop of craggy shores and stormy seas. The emotional melody mirrors the bond between two young men, Manor and Har, whose connection is formed after Manor rescues Har from a tempest.

This song is inspired by Karl Heinrich Ulrichs’ story "Manor", one of the earliest known examples of queer love. The track captures the deep connection between the two men with a soundscape that is both tender and powerful. The narrative explores themes of love, loss, and the supernatural, making it a compelling listen. A poignant tribute to a bond that transcends earthly limitations, this ballad is a must-hear for fans of folk music and historical storytelling.

The Ballad of Manor and Har

Duet sung by Nico Lysander and Arlo Novak, "Home is You" is a simple, heartfelt queer love song — not about where you are, but who you’re with.
