I actually started this track in 2009 when I was home for the holidays but it never seemed finished. As I approached another return trip for the holidays, I thought it would be perfect for the season. I added the vocals from that very famous movie about a journey home and it now feels done. This is dedicated to all my friends & family in Maine, Boston, Honduras, California and wherever you are on this planet which we all call home.

No Place Like Home

lyrics:

every cloud over the mountains is a sign
you read the wind like it’s your birthright
no matter what, you’ll find a line
telling you it’s time to take flight

when the skies get rough,
you choose to glide
when the storm rolls in,
you choose to hide
flying coast to coast,
you choose the sun
every chance you get
you choose to run

what does the world look like from a bird’s eye view,
from a fairweather friend,
have you always seen it like this, and is it pretty?
does it slow your heartbeat down
to go search for yourself in the nestless, restless evergreens
of a brand new city? (tell me how)

every smile at a stranger’s just for fun
you burn your bridges before they’re halfway done
no part of you would survive a fall
so you complain that the world’s too small

when the skies get rough,
you choose to glide
when the storm rolls in,
you choose to hide
flying coast to coast,
you choose the sun
every chance you get
you choose to run

i see you watch my routine
i hear you ask about my dreams
but until something stills the sea
you can’t find your home in me
