Goin' Home

I played this song at my dad and brother's funeral - it somehow just seemed to be perfect.

This song hits close to home. I imagine the singer is my father in his old age, reflecting on the long life he's had. Dan's voice conveys a pained reality of the latter years of someone's life. He is sorrowful, but bittersweet in the good memories, and the knowledge that home is where the heart is. In the end, he reminds us that the love and comfort of home matter more than our wishes or wants.

Beautiful song.

This song brings to me the essence of summer and the importance of home and family. Great song. Dan Auerbach's first solo album proves to be quite amazing.

Song has a great moment in the new George Clooney movie "Up in the Air." Really fits the scene/movie well.

The meaing is obvious and in title. Beautiful song.

The second verse is definitely about New Orleans. "I saw the streets all ripe with jewels Balconies and the laundry lines They tried to make me welcome there But their streets did not feel like mine"

During Mardi Gras the streets, balconies, phone&power lines are full of Mardi Gras beads (jewels).

Tonight, I'm going to the airport to pick up my brand new wife (since 14thof july and we're the 13th of septembre). She went to assist her father who felt deadly sick. He's gone now. He's goind home in some kind of way. Great Maori father-in-law I go: Just enough bandit to be out-law, like a big bad ass maori one and lovely to me even in his worst moments in his life. May someone somewhere has some looking after him I hope.

But the fat is, (sorry guys, I just wanted to honor the memory of my-father-in-law who were appropriaely going home too), is that my brand new Nita IS COMING HOME!!! We've been seperated for too long. almost wo months!!!

SO BABY:

! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! W E L C O ME H O M E ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Let me blow your mind for a moment: Suicide.

I found this song by mistake when I was listening to a song from a band my grandson shared with me years back. The song Goin’ Home, I feel Dylan brought that song to me. Dylan died this past summer. He was in a vehicle driven by his friend and three other friends also were in the truck. Dylan and Jenna both died as the truck collided into a building. I’m always looking for Dylan in things or from things. I miss him so much. All of the words that this song says, I feel my grandson wanted me to hear. He is buried in an open lot, sun on him, oak trees are on the right of him, streets are not familiar (heaven). This song means so much to me. I feel he brought this song to me. Thank you Dan, Cindy from Kenosha, Wisconsin.
