"Home"

A blog I would say is like your diet. It has to be well balanced in-my-oh-so-humble-opinion. Some blogs I've come across have been very focused (for better or for worse), some are a repository for one's emotions and some are so dry, you're just dying to grab a 100Plus after reading. But I digress. Blogs are after all an expression of freedom. An exercise in democracy. The free-will to say anything you like. Which brings me to my ramblings for the day. I've been feeling a little...melancholic. And why not? I am, after all, a blood and flesh human being, even though I've been told I can be of the mechanical and emotionless disposition.

And back to my analogy of a blog akin to diet. I've decided to let a little bit of my more, human-side out today.

I'm not a big fan of Michael Buble, but I am a fan of tasteful music. To my (pleasant) surprise he has this song, called "Home". I thought he was just another cover artiste, you know, a guy who sings songs done by others. This if I'm not mistaken is original and not a golden oldie as is usually his type of music. Listening to its lyrics it really does sum up how I've been feeling under the many many layers of my personality. For your convenience I've posted the lyrics of the song below. Yes nothing profound today, just a well-balanced emotional post today. Enjoy it.

Another summer day
Has come and gone away
In Paris and Rome
But I wanna go home

Maybe surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
I just wanna go home
Oh, I miss you, you know

And I’ve been keeping all the letters that I wrote to you
Each one a line or two
“I’m fine baby, how are you?”
Well I would send them but I know that it’s just not enough
My words were cold and flat
And you deserve more than that

Another aeroplane
Another sunny place
I’m lucky I know
But I wanna go home
Mmmm, I’ve got to go home

Let me go home
I’m just too far from where you are
I wanna come home

And I feel just like I’m living someone else’s life
It’s like I just stepped outside
When everything was going right
And I know just why you could not
Come along with me
'Cause this was not your dream
But you always believed in me

Another winter day has come
And gone away
In even Paris and Rome
And I wanna go home
Let me go home

And I’m surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone
Oh, let me go home
Oh, I miss you, you know

Let me go home
I’ve had my run
Baby, I’m done
I gotta go home
Let me go home
It will all be all right
I’ll be home tonight
I'm coming back home
