With this issue Home, I have tried to pick songs that for me, encapsulate some of the ideas around home, and of what home really means. Your teenage years, moving into your twenties, really are the most transitional years of your life: relationships, careers, where you live, who you live with – all of which can change quite sporadically. To pin point a specific place that you call “home” is so difficult at this age, as it means such a multitude of things.
Home is where your family are
is where your friends are, with your support network, and where your go-to girl gang are
is in your lovers arms
is a memory, a place to return to when you’ve lost your way and need to find yourself again
is diving headfirst into passion
is where you make your first cup of tea in the morning
is where you laugh and where you cry
is where the heart is.
