The Band - The Weight [mp3]
A home is a hard place to find, an easy place to keep, and a place that combats secrets and fears with the cool sounds of an ever-changing yet un-moving river as it floats across saturated June air. A home is a place where frozen off-brand pizza tastes good, where apple juice tastes like champagne and computer speakers put concert hall quality sound to shame.
“Where might one find such a place?” someone asked.
“A home is not a place and it never has been, either,” she told the person. “It is not a where; it is not a when; it is not a what.”
“Then what is it?” they cried. “What is a home?”
“A home for me is not the same as a home for you,” she replied. “A home is a who—a home is a you and a me, a she and a he and a we.”
“What do I do when I find it?” they asked.
“Find it first,” she said. “And then you’ll know.”
“What do I do if I’ve already found it?” they asked again.
“What are you waiting for!?” she cried. “Take a seat, have a bite, jump in.”
