Home Sweet Home

The other night, I was waiting for NY in the car and this song came up in the radio. I'm such a sucker for similar sentimental rock songs. It is always for the minor tunes first and later for the lyrics and then I find my self later tapping on the surface of my desk following the beats of the drums.

On its March 2007 edition, Rolling Stones featured a story on Daniel Levitin's study on the brain response to recorded music, Dr. Levitin wrote a book This is Your Brain on Music. For illustration, when someone listens to Mozart's, his/her primary auditory part of the brain is active. James Brown's further ignites the brain part responsible for emotion and motoric skill, while Eminem's adds up the sparks on the brain part responsible for language.

Interesting. That kinda explains my observation above.


You know I'm a dreamer but my heart's of gold
I have run away high so I won't come home low
Just when things went right
Doesnt' mean that they were always wrong
Just take this song and you will never feel left all alone

Take me to your heart
Throw me in your bones
Just one more night
And I'm coming off this long winding road

I'm on my way
I'm on my way
Home sweet home
Tonight tonight
I'm on my way
I'm on my way
Home sweet home

You know that I've seen too many romantic dreams
Up in the light falling off the silver screen
My heart is like an open book
For the whole world to read
Sometime nothing keeping me together at the seams

I'm on my way
I'm on my way
Home sweet home
Tonight Tonight
I'm on my way
Just set me free
Home sweet home
