| It's an unbelievable song - definitely something to do with Simon and Garfunkel, you just have to listen to the harmonies to hear it. | |

| Makes me think about heaven - or at least, a home that has no address, where God lives. Listened to this a lot last term - my first term at uni - to remind myself that I don't belong in a place, only in friendships and relationships and in church. Plus the Kings don't seem to care about jobs! Only music. And that's how I feel now. :) | |

| I think this song is just about trying to find something thats missing. You search everywhere for it, but you just can't find it, hence "homesick, 'cause i now longer know, where home is". As well, I think its also about not being able to be the one place you want to be. | |

| I'll also add that I know alot of people in their mid 40's and 50's that came to the conclusion that something was missing in their life- some misticism, perhaps, something to dream about as we do when young. Some activity, or sight or sound that brings out the emotion in us. As to this example, I picture a frustrated person working on an office of some sort - and how dull his life is, with nothing to dream about, no big emotions, just a blank life. So he listens to this song - yes, it reminds me of Simon and Garfunkel too - and suddenly he has something to hang on to... a beautiful picture, if you ask me. | |

| I agree about the meaning. It also seems to have a lot of Simon and Garfunkel references: the title, 2 soft voices blended, boy in the mirror, bridges... And the sound of the song. Breathtaking. | |

| I think this is my favorite song from "Riot on an Empty Street".. the music in it is especially beautiful. The lyrics are rather ambiguous, but I like that about them. | |

| This song is me. I think its about finding home in music, because home is no where else. | |

| It really reminds me of Simon&Garfunkel, and it's a beautiful song.. I think it's about searching the place, the people, the feeling of "home"... By the way; I think it's "Cause I no longer know where home is" instead of "What home is" | |
