Daughter - Home



Favorite lyrics: Burned out flames should never re-ignite/ But I thought you might.../ Take me, Take me, home.

This song's entire tone begs to be among something familiar, a want to become part of a certain part of your life again. It's a song that lives in the past, but it has a small resistance to it, too, so it comes across as both desperate for and disastrously against the same desire. The vocalist plays around with her own voice as if she were trying new things with an old, well-used instrument; kind of like The Cranberries' quirky melody in 'Zombie', 'Home' has a unique vocal playground. Sometimes adding a lot of different style into a song is distracting from the passion in the lyrics, so a lot of singer/songwriters do better with acoustic, but Daughter has just the right mix of music and raw emotion, with a drum beat that sounds like a repetitive door-knock and moments of silence that fit well into the song. Daughter is just a really stand-out artist and entirely emotionally addicting; it'll be hard not to come back to Home's play button.

    1. So glad you like it, too, Ginger!! We actually heard her for the first time over the speakers post The Civil Wars concert and had to shazam it. So great!
