    Homewtown Glory

    Posted by WaterShake - June 19th, 2010


    I heard a track today and instantly fell in love. It has the sense of strength that I love about NLX and the melody that I love about Sia. The track is called Hometown Glory. And it got me thinking, about home.

    I don't feel that I have a very strong sense of home, i've always moved around and I think the absolute longest i've lived anywhere is 3 years. I've lived in a bunch of different cities in England, a bunch of different cities in Scotland, and more recently one of the emirates of the UAE. I don't really associate with any one of these places as home, my childhood memories are split and fractured by hundreds of miles.

    But this track changed that, for now at least. For now, I feel at home. I think I now understand what is meant by the phrase, "home is where the heart is".

    I may not feel like this in a year, month, or even tomorrow, but today, my heart is with Glasgow. Tonight my home is Glasgow. My home is amongst these beautiful grimy streets. My motley crue, my memories that flow whenever I walk the streets. Home is the heat in my chest as I walk down towards Central Station to see the most beautiful girl in the city, knowing we'll be in each other arms soon. Home isn't belonging, but embracing. And it feels glorious.
