Joey Gavin - Home Sweet Home

Release 2022/07/29
Written in mid-2016 in Greece, ...The songs origin: "There was a coalescence of ideas about patriotism, homelessness - In fact the song's title refers to the name of the activist group who occupied Apollo House (a large unused building in Dublin city) to house homeless people during Christmas in 2016 - and the psychological struggle of living in the family home for too long. It's about looking everywhere for home: atomically, socially, in childhood and not finding it. It's sad."

It is a mournful yet groovy song. Balancing two opposing forces.
