hOmE CoMiNg!!!

We all have that ONE song- that adds the WOW factor to you and your life. It defines you, your priorities in life, your mistakes in life and the trials and errors you go through along the way. It syncs in perfectly with YOU. Isn't it amazing, how another person miles away from you, writing this song is feeling exactly the same-maybe not coz interpretations may vary but that hardly is the point.!! You never can get bored of it and its just a always repeat song in the playlist.

No matter how boring the others might find it but nobody can relate to the song as you do- because, frankly no one else can live your life the way you do. It hardly matters what language its in- English, Hindi, Tamil, Telegu, Spanish, French or gibberish- but its you. 

I may not be an expert in the technicalities involved with music but do you think I care!!!! It belongs to me!!!!. And yes, I hate it when people actually criticize it for not being technically correct. It's like saying I hate you like I hate you on my face!! And those people can rot in hell!!!

And yes..coming to the song.. Its called..Back to Tennessee by Billy Ray Cyrus. I agree that he might not be the most celebrated name in the music industry and not made millions like the others and might have had millions of hate groups to his name but I love him for making the song. 

The song truly makes you introspect at who you actually are, and where is that taking you in this life. We run after all material things possible but choose to ignore the little things in life that actually determine who we are. I may sound  philosophical..Godd!!! listen to me...!! I'm actually saying this stuff.!! Out loud!!!! and I hate to admit that it's true!!

The song brings in a lot of homecoming feel to it. You stay away from family, friends to earn a living in the big city- city life with it's ruthless people who never wish to see you succeed- you make money or you don't- you find love and you lose love-you are heartbroken or you back stab- you do everything it takes to succeed- to make it happen- to see yourself through. But when it's time to go home-to real family and real friends, you realize what life has actually made you. With your real mates, you don't have to pretend. It's just you like you've always been. Big city life actually makes you realize that nobody in the world is yours. When life gives you shit..you stand alone!! No amount of money can repay the people you back stabbed, the people you turned your back on in their times of need, the trust you broke and hearts that broke with it.

It tells you..there is actually no comfort in this world except the true love that you left back home!! The love that was pure and selfless-expecting nothing in return. So I guess, it's time to go HOME- to a place where love is, to a place where friendship is, to a place where FAMILY is.

The song might be written for Tennessee but it could easily qualify to where ever you live, to where ever your heart belongs. For all those people who live away from home- for education or work, its time to COME BACK HOME TO PEOPLE YOU LOVE!!!!

I am so sure.. you have an absolutely wonderful song to share too...would love to know yours :)
