Home.
Man, that is a word that can be packed with meaning.
For some, it is the literal and physical and geographical place in which they reside.
To me, it is more than that.  In fact, I have found that home has been many places…

It has been in the desert of Israel.
It has been in front of a camera working with people in my community (I worked at a television station for almost 10 years).
It has been in the woods with my children as we explored and I could literally watch them become smarter.
It has been in a warm embrace where I could hear a heart beating in my ear…

Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros have captured something in their song “Home” that goes beyond music and lyrics.  Sure they sound a little trippy, and yeah — they might even look a little trippy, but there is something raw and tender that pours out of their voices.  I don’t use this word to describe many things — but this song is… sweet.

There.
I said it.
Now get outta here.

(Thanks to Lauren for exposing me to this song.  Also, after you have downloaded and listened to the song over and over again, watch the video below and witness one of their live performances — just try not to smile.)
