Ah the weekend! It's that glorious time when you get to settle in at home for a little R&R. While you sit back with that leisurely cup of coffee (hey, go prepare yourself a Bloody Mary, while you're at it!) allow us to provide you with a musical moment. An ode to house and home, right this way…

Home by Michael Bublé and Feels like Home by Chantal Kreviazuk always make me feel homesick for something.
Talking Heads - "This Must Be The Place"!
Here's a few more: "Home" from "The Wiz" (either the Stephanie Mills or Diana Ross versions, choose your favorite) and John Mayer's "Home Life".
I've always liked "Somewhere That's Green" from "Little Shop of Horrors."
"Like a picture out of Better Homes and Gardens magazine . . . ."
"Our House" by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. On our way back home from car trips we'd sing it:
Our house
Is a very very very fine house
With two cats in the yard...
hyeson, that is exactly the song I came here to post! Such a good song. :)
hyeson and jrossi1217, I third that.
I think that's my #1 "home" song with Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros "Home" coming in a super close second.
"I'm Going Home" from Rocky Horror Picture Show: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L1Xn-DWHuuM
The audience participation bits from that song that I remember aren't suitable for a family website, so I'll spare you. :)
+1 hyeson...
here's a link.
Depeche Mode - "Home"

Dusty delivers a stunning rendition of "A House Is Not A Home", one of the finest compositions of the '60s I think.
@Rucy brings a tear to my eye.
Phil Collins "Take Me Home" !
Very early Bryan Adams, "Comin' Home" (1981). Not on video anywhere
For some reason I get misty listening to "Barking at the Moon" from the movie Bolt. I know, I know, kiddie stuff - but it's so sweet!
There is no home like the one you've got, cuz that one belongs to you!

The 88 "Coming Home"

just a few more from the fringe, although i dig mr. buble's "home" and most certainly the one from rocky horror...
house quake - prince
come into my house - queen latifa
house work - b52's
happy house - siousxie and the banshees
and to be awfully sappy - trumpet vine
oh crap and most certainly, have another "adult beverage", "a cottage for two" by miss julie london... what was i thinking?!
Add me to the Talking Heads fan club. One of my favourite songs ever.
Julie London's "Come on 'a My House" (or any others' versions)?
"I'm Going to Hire a Wino to Decorate our Home". A country classic.
