You ever feel like you don’t know where home is? You keep searching but no matter where you go it never feels right. Or maybe you know exactly where home is, your searching made you realize that home is a specific person or place, home is where you make it.  

Danny Arcane hits ‘Home’ and your heart in his new VHS jammed video packed with footage of his hometown, past travels, and old friends. His lyrics describe a traveler trying his luck living all across the country with no success, “couldn’t live in the South, like to run my mouth,” with a hook that contemplates the idea of finally settling down but being unsure where he should plant his roots.  

“I’ve moved around quite a bit and it’s always been hard for me to form solid roots, I always felt like I was never truly home. I think I’ve finally reached a point in my life where I’ve realized I can turn wherever I am into the place I call home. Whether that’s in the midwest or the west coast, I’ve realized home is wherever you want it to be” - Danny Arcane  

Footage of a sunset in Los Angeles, the Statue of Liberty, and a BBQ in Milwaukee are displayed while jangly,  reverb drenched guitars surround your ears alongside punchy drums and a warm bass that feel like a hug from your old best friend in high school.

LYRICS

Want to be a Cali boy
But I really love the Midwest
Didn't really want to leave
But Winter had be depressed
Couple bucks pushed my luck
Tried living on the East Coast
Life fast, rent high
Couldn't get what I need most
Where do I go
from here
I don't know

Maybe I should start thinking 'bout settling down
Maybe I should start thinking 'bout going home
Where I've been
Where I've roamed
I don't know where to go
Are the mountain range or Great Lakes made for me

Couldn't live in the South
Like to run my mouth
Said the best headed West
To see the fuss is about 
Had the urge and a crave
For a trip and some change
Got distracted by the beauty of the mountain range
Where do I go
from here
I don't know

Maybe I should start thinking 'bout settling down
Maybe I should start thinking 'bout going home
Where I've been
Where I've roamed
I don't know where to go
Are the mountain range or Great Lakes made for me

Maybe I should start thinking 'bout settling down
Maybe I should start thinking 'bout going home
Where I've been
Where I've roamed
I don't know where to go
Are the mountain range or Great Lakes made for me

I LOVE YOU

They tell you to run but they’re never gonna watch you at the race

It seems they all just think the same

They’ll tell you to jump but won’t catch you when you fall straight down

They’re laughing in your face

But you’ll never walk away

Shoulda coulda woulda but you’re never going back oh no

You probably got caught in the hometown binding

Shoulda coulda woulda but you’re never going back oh no

Oh no!

‘Cause that’s just not the way mom taught me

You’re screaming out

Oh one of these days

One of these supernova breaks gonna come way

You're working hard overtime just to make a living wage

Got noose around your neck and your pride inside a cage

But they’re never gonna listen

Won't you quit your bitchin'

Leave the keys upon the table and get back inside that kitchen

‘Cause this home is where you’ll stay

And you’ll never walk away

Shoulda coulda woulda but you’re never going back oh no

You probably got caught in the hometown binding

Shoulda coulda woulda but you’re never going back oh no

Oh no!

‘Cause that’s just not the way mom taught me

Shoulda coulda woulda but you’re never going back oh

Tell them all get lost and now you’re back on the right track oh

Shoulda coulda woulda but you’re never going back oh

Tell them all get lost

Now you’re back on the right track yeah yeah

Seasons of Disaster (EP)

Change For You

NB NAKITA "LIKE THIS"

Written & Recorded in 2022. I'd like to revisit this one.

Lyrics:

I’ve been working for a long time, digging this hole
It’s hard work but I go, and it’s taken its toll
Tried following the path of people I know
But it’s an endless road, all alone

I hate the way I’m feeling, but self-loathing is treason
It’s tough enough to be alive
I stop myself from breathing, no chance of ever healing
I built my life around a rhyme

The desert’s cold, there’s no loopholes
And I’ve missed every shooting star
I lose my faith, but not my pace
So I can say that I made it this far

I cry a million rivers but they dry
It don’t make sense to me
And when I scream, there’s only silence
Some type of psycho pseudoscience
Can’t figure out the truth behind this phenomenon
It goes on and on and on

No time, no rhyme, no reason
I give into the season of blue
I can’t decide my feelings
The weather cuts the shape of my mood

No telling where I’m going, the wind is always blowing
I shift in and out of my prime
At any given moment, the pressure’s overflowing
And everything’s a waste of my time

The desert’s cold, there’s no loopholes
And I’ve missed every shooting star
I lose my faith, but not my pace
So I can say that I made it this far

I cry a million rivers but they dry
It don’t make sense to me
And when I scream, there’s only silence
Some type of psycho pseudoscience
Can’t figure out the truth behind this phenomenon
It goes on and on and on

Pseudoscience (Demo)

red lines everyone, with others, with yourself.  You got to bring the walls down.  Unselfing, that's from Iris Murdoch.  Lesson one, get over yourself.

Red Wall Falling

Richard Foggo is a songwriter, musician and producer living and working in Leith, Scotland.  Deeply influenced by early 80s synthy new wave and post-punk, Richard is now committed to bringing #LeithRock to the masses #postpunk #postrock

Included here are the three full albums -  Leith Love Songs, Leith Takes, and Leith Walls - which make up Richard's Leith trilogy.  Richard wrote and recorded the first as a gift for his wife when they were married in Summer 2023.  "Beneath all the alienation and despair, they're love songs really".   Leith Takes helped Richard do what he promised himself when he turned 50 - "stop worrying and just get all my music out my head".  And now the third album- a Leith hat trick - Leith Walls has been released.  It includes "Dream Your Own Life", a track Richard wrote for his daughter on her 18th birthday.

All played, recorded, mixed, and mastered by Richard in his wee basement studio in Leith, Edinburgh.  Richard also plays bass in the band The Peacemen. New tracks coming soon!
