Homebound
A warm road song about returning, letting go and discovering that home can be a state of mind.
Sometimes all you’re searching for is already home.
01 · Behind the song
Why this song exists.
Homebound follows the road back rather than away. Its movement is gentle: towns passing by, morning opening up and the realization that distance can sometimes make home easier to recognize.
The song sits early in the album as a counterpoint to departure. It is about carrying less, listening more and letting the journey reveal what was already there.

The engine hums beneath me A pale and restless sky The fields are slowly waking As another town rolls by A worn-out station coffee Still warming up my hands The morning never hurries It always understandsRead full lyrics
