Home - Simple Minds

Tittle: Home

Album: Black & White 050505

Year: 2005

Label: Sanctuary Records

Music Style:
Along the years, they have played a lot of different music styles. But they actually are a rock band. Rock consists of vocals, guitars, keyboards and drums. The 5 characteristics of rock music include guitar riffs, strong rhythm, powerful lyrics, a good beat, and consistent pitch throughout the song.

What this song is about: The plot is very confusing. The song is about a man, who    doesn´t  know where to go, so God help him to get home. He says that God gave him money, a pair of shoes, air so he could breathe, and the last chance to get home.

Why I have chosen this song: 
I have chosen this song because It is one of my parents’ favourite songs. It makes their minds up. They used to listen to it when we were travelling. Simple Minds is one of the few bands both of my parents like because they have different tastes in music. It takes them back to the times when they were younger.

What does this song make me feel:
 After a long time listening to it, I realised it is an essential in our family journeys. I like it because it is a rock song, but not too heavy. Especially when you are sad or dissapointed, this song can bring you up.
