about

We were in 3345 Parr Street in Liverpool, 2007. We always were. It was late and the drinks were flowing… “That song of yours, the Celtic one,” I said to my mate Ian. “’Home’ I reckon you should call it.”. Seems obvious now, but at the time these things are always filled with second guessing and insecurity. This one shouldn’t have been. ‘Home’, written by Ian Prowse and recorded by Amsterdam, is what (‘round here) we call a belter. Its big music touched me down deep somewhere the first time I heard it and it still does the same thing today after hundreds of listens. Amsterdam threw the kitchen sink at it (they’re very good at that), but I hear it differently and have hooked an anchor to that wild Atlantic melody. Perhaps I’m too close, but I’ve always felt it as a lament that could only get busy being born amid heartbreak. Missing someone? This is for you.
