If you grew up, as I did, in the late 1960s, then a major influence on your aesthetics would have been Robin Boyd’s “The Great Australian Ugliness” which critically and mercilessly addressed suburban Australia – the brick venereal disease.

Just an aside, I think the McMansions must have him spinning in his grave.

Anyhow, I’ll try to supress that in this review. It was home to many of us.

The mood of this piece is relaxed, almost introspective in its feeling.

It starts with a guitar and a drum and piano background.

Then it switches to a piano with a guitar and drum background.

Is there a drum solo coming?

The lyrics are clever and for once there’s a reference to the Covid lockdown without decrying the limitations it enforced on us.

It’s just there as one more thing that happened.

“This house it’s really been through it all.”
“Lockdown, breakdown breaking through the wall.

All in all, “There’s nothing like our yellow brick veneer.”
“There is no place like home.”

There’s great instrumental bridge following these lyrics.

For me the instrumental wins over the lyrics, even though they are well written and witty.

The only comment I would make is that at times I found the vocal harmonies were hiding the lyrics, and would have benefitted from a reduced level.

This is a lovely song, and I mean lovely, you can feel the love in it.

By the way, the drums finally get something like a solo during the finale of the track.
