1)Temporary home This song makes me want just to crawl in a hole and cry sometimes. The beginning of the song I about a little boy who is shipped from foster home to foster home. He sees it as a temporary home. he doesn't see it as home. Then in the middle there is a mom who is single and has a daughter and is struggling. She tries to tell her daughter how they will have a home for themselves and right now that their home right now is only temporary. Last portion of the song is about a old man in the hospital he is surrounded by his family and he's dying. He believes he is in a temporary home that when he leaves to go to heaven it will be his home. I love this song it makes me cry because in the beginning there is the child with no family and has to move homes so much he doesn't fit in. Then the single mom who is struggling to take care of her daughter and herself. One day they would have a real home that wasn't temporary like there is right now. The last one hits home for me though. My grandfather passed away five years ago and this reminds me of him because he passed away. I wasn't there though he was in a coma and never woke up. They unplugged him and I never got to say my good byes or even tell him goodbye. So when i'm feeling down I usually listen to this song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LraOiHUltak
2) The house that built me This song another one of the songs I listen to when I have a crappy day. I love this song when i'm happy or sad it doesn't matter to me. its about the speaker all grown up coming back to the place she once lived. with the memories of when she grew up. She talks about how she came back to just find herself because that was the place she became. She believed if she was there then maybe she will remember who she was. She remembers all the memories of growing up and all she wants is see the place she grew up in.
3) Don't Forget To Remember Me This is song about what every child and parents hate, when it comes. Children fear it and mothers don't want their child to leave. It comes a time when kids have to go to college or go move out. The child is scared to go out in the world. The mother and father are going to miss the child and when they are completely gone they would wish they were back making racket like they would do if they were. In this song its about a speaker who's mother is afraid that their child will forget about them. The mother keeps reminding her of things to do when really the child knows all of them and the mother just wants to buy time so she doesn't have to say goodbye. This song makes me sad because one day that would be me. Living alone in a dorm room without hearing my father's voice or my mom's laugh or the dog's snoring. One day I will be myself and that is scary as heck let me tell you. I never want to grow up and go out in the world. The world is a scary place. This song reminds me to be nice to my mother and cherish my time now with them.
