Exceptional Homeward Bound by Simon and Garfunkel Sally's Jukebox Hits #40 by Sally Law

Welcome to my all-time favorite count down from 50 to 1! I'm so delighted to have you with me in the month of August. Home is the theme today. Yep, I'm a homebody! I have two songs about home featured: one from long past; and a bonus favorite from more recent years. At the #40 position is "Homeward Bound" by folk rock duo Simon and Garfunkel. Their sweet sound is distinct and there's no one like them. They've stayed with us for decades, gracing the airwaves and wooing the world's stage. Take the time to listen to this song... really listen. My favorite: Home where my thought's escapin' Home where my music's playin' Home where my love lies waitin' Silently for me.... Sounds just like my home. Home, to me, is wherever my husband is. The second is "Home" by Daughtry. At the 2007 American Music Awards, Daughtry won Favorite Album, Favorite Adult Contemporary Artist, and Breakthrough Artist after performing this song. The traveling singer and his band have quite the following, yet longs to be home when he's had enough of the tour. My favorite: I going to the place where love And feeling good doesn't cost a thing.... Dedicated to home sweet home today for the August twofer. If you are traveling, I hope you make it back home safely. {Homeward Bound by Paul Simon} I'm sittin' in the railway station Got a ticket to my destination On a tour of one-night stands My suitcase and guitar in hand And every stop is neatly planned For a poet and a one-man band Homeward bound I wish I was Homeward bound Home where my thought's escapin' Home where my music's playin' Home where my love lies waitin' Silently for me Every day's an endless stream Of cigarettes and magazines And each town looks the same to me The movies and the factories And every stranger's face I see Reminds me that I long to be Homeward bound I wish I was Homeward bound Home where my thought's escapin' Home where my music's playin' Home where my love lies waitin' Silently for me Tonight I'll sing my songs again I'll play the game and pretend But all my words come back to me In shades of mediocrity Like emptiness in harmony I need someone to comfort me Homeward bound I wish I was Homeward bound Home where my thought's escapin' Home where my music's playin' Home where my love lies waitin' Silently for me Silently for me *Source {Home by Christopher Daughtry} I'm staring out into the night, trying to hide the pain I'm going to the place where love And feeling good don't ever cost a thing And the pain you feel's a different kind of pain Well, I'm going home, back to the place where I belong And where your love has always been enough for me I'm not running from, no, I think you got me all wrong I don't regret this life I chose for me But these places and these faces are getting old So I'm going home, well I'm going home The miles are getting longer, it seems, the closer I get to you I've not always been the best man or friend for you But your love it makes true and I don't know why You always seem to give me another try So I'm going home, back to the place where I belong And where your love has always been enough for me I'm not running from, no, I think you got me all wrong I don't regret this life I chose for me But these places and these faces are getting old Be careful what you wish for 'cause you just might get it all You just might get it all and then some you don't want Be careful what you wish for 'cause you just might get it all You just might get it all, yeah Oh, well I'm going home, back to the place where I belong And where your love has always been enough for me I'm not running from, no, I think you got me all wrong I don't regret this life I chose for me But these places and these faces are getting old I said these places and these faces are getting old So I'm going home, I'm going home **Source Until next time....
