Like or dislike: Homeward Bound

[Richard B]

"So I'll have another drink and a cigarette just to consule myself somehow"

Yeah, I love it. Always have. Her voice fits perfectly to the lyrics of being worn out, fatigued and sick of traveling.

"Home life to me seems really neat"

I posted it earlier in this thread. You'd better hurry, it's expires in another day. It's from Hempstead, NY in Oct. 1974.

"Homeward Bound" is an interesting song because you tend to think of pining ballads filled with homesickness as being slow, languid melodies, not rollicking rock & roll songs. So Chris deftly creates a tension here, given the anomalistic pairing of plaintive lyrics & powerchorded, rolling, even crunching music, which creates an emotional dichotomy & a thematic disjoint, leaving the listener breathless & disjangled, cruising in the neurasthenic twilight of a jingly buzz.
