Mixtape #1: Where love lies waiting – best songs about home
Have you ever been sitting on the train feeling lonely? Too many strangers? Do you just want to head home? Love the life-on-the-road self-pity by singer-songwriters? Need a gift for friend who travels a lot?
Here’s the ultimate playlist for you. After writing a post about why singer-songwriters dream about home, I compiled a list of the very best songs. Feel free to send me more, and I’ll copy them from the comment section to this list. Joni Mitchell’s “California” is my favorite one.
|
|
…California I’m coming home
|
 |
|
Sometimes I wonder if I’m ever gonna make it home again. It’s so far and out of sight
|
|
|
…Yes I’m going to Carolina in my mind
|
|
|
…When I reach those hills, boys. I’ll never roam. One more dollar and I’m going home
|
|
|
….Home, where my love lies waiting silently for me
|
|
|
…Won’t you give a man? Give a man a home
|
|
|
…I am tired. Can I come home for the summer?

Hi Nicola,
I definitely think Tina Dico’s “Sacre Coeur” is missing here
o/
I love Long Way Home by Tom Waits. Every time I am in an airport I hum it..

My favorite song about home is by Ryan Kelly. His song “The Village They Call The Moy” makes me wish I was from The Moy.
Thanks guys for these great suggestions!
