Simple song to play, great tune.
Standard tuning: Eadgbe
Dm F c Bb
I go outside to find the middle of nowhere,
everyone needs their own empty stage,
just like the sky with no beginning or ending,
or like reading a book without a last page,
F c Bb
Stop and turn around and say it with your eyes closed,
you don't need to welcome me home,
stop turn around and try looking with your eyes wide open,
Dm F c Bb
As we live our lives through a series of glances,
and you smile without smiling for a whole another year,
I think we need a little more understanding,
I think the future is already here,
so I wont ask you to..
F c Bb
Stop and turn around and say it with your eyes closed,
you don't need to welcome me home,
stop and turn around and try looking with your eyes wide open,
F c Bb
Welcome hooOOohome
Welcome hooOOohome
Welcome hooOOohome
Welcome hooOOohome
F c Bb
Hoooooooooooooooooooooooome
Hoooooooooooooooooooooooome
Hoooooooooooooooooooooooome
Cheers, Dan.

| i love this song! it's definitely one of my favorite idlewild songs. i love the harmony at the end when roddy's just singing "welcome home" over and over. anyway, on to the meaning... i think it's kind of like he's trying to end a relationship, but he still loves her. and they haven't been fighting or anything, but they've just grown apart... so he's breaking up really gently because he doesn't want to upset her or himself, he thinks it's better for them to move on. when he says "you don't need to welcome me home" he's saying stop trying so hard, i know it's not working, it's ok. anyway that's one interpretation, but i think it can also be listened to as a love song. also, has anyone else noticed roddy woomble's references to acting/theater? like in this song he talks about "everyone needs their own empty stage" and in el capitan he says "in a cast that's taking places, i'm unsure of where i'm meant to be". also on his recent solo album there's a song called act IV. maybe it doesn't mean anything, but as an idlewild fan and a wannabe actress i find it a really cool metaphor. 1 | |
