Comin' Home

City and Colour

Well, I've been down to Georgia
I've seen the streets in the West
I've driven down the 90
Hell I've seen America's best
I've been through the Rockies
I've seen Saskatoon
I've driven down the highway 1
Just hopin' that I'd see you soon

'Cause I'm comin' home,
I'm comin' home
I'm comin' home
I'm comin' home
I'm comin' home
I'm comin' home
Comin' home

I've never been to Alaska
But I can tell you this
I've been to Lincoln, Nebraska
And hell you know it ain't worth shit
I've been through Nova Scotia
Sydney to Halifax
I'll never take any pictures
'Cause I know I'll just be right back

'Cause I'm comin' home
I'm comin' home
I'm comin' home
I'm comin' home
I'm comin' home
I'm comin' home
Comin' home

I've seen a palace in London
I've seen a castle in Wales
But I'd rather wake up beside you
And breathe that ol' familiar smell
I never thought you could leave me
I figured I was the one
But I understand your sadness
So I guess I should just hold my tongue

But I'm comin' home
I'm comin' home
I'm comin' home
I'm comin' home
I'm comin' home
I'm comin' home
Comin' home

I know that we're takin' chances
You told me life was a risk
I just have one last question
Will it be my heart or will it be his?

'Cause I'm comin' home
I'm comin' home
I'm comin' home
I'm comin' home
I'm comin' home
I'm comin' home
I'm comin' home
I'm comin' home
I'm comin' home
Comin' home
I'm comin' home
Comin' home
I'm comin' home
I'm comin' home
I'm comin' home
I'm comin' home
I'm comin' home

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Dreamwalker
Silent Planet
I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.

When We Were Young
Blink-182
This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.

Head > Heels
Ed Sheeran
“Head > Heels” is a track that aims to capture what it feels like to experience romance that exceeds expectations. Ed Sheeran dedicates his album outro to a lover who has blessed him with a unique experience that he seeks to describe through the song’s nuanced lyrics.

Page
Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
