A song that as the father of a teenage daughter, brings a little tear to my eye when I hear it.

Going Home - Leonard Cohen
[Chorus sings:]
Im going home
Without my sorrow
Going home
Sometime tomorrow
Going home
To where its better
Than before
Going home
Without my burden
Going home
Behind the curtain
Going home
Without this costume
That I wore...
Hey thanks, authentic darkies too!
(Yeah, I know what they meant when Kentucky officially put “people” in the song. That they are now blind to race. But this was about a time when, for worse or better, society knew of a white and a black community each with their own interests. And Stephen Foster purposely used “darkies” to humanize the Negro slaves (or recent freedmen, who often soldiered on as paid servants) of his songs. It means something special in its context.)
Howdy. And thanks. :-)

Pat Metheny Group - Last Train Home

Our senior class trip in 1965 was to Washington D.C. and the New York Worlds Fair.
After maybe 6 or 7 days we were all waiting at Grand Central Station to board our train for home. Two of the girls began singing “500 miles” if that is the title. You know “Lord I’m one, Lord I’m Two, Lord I’m three, Lord I’m 500 miles away from home.
Soon all 60 of us began singing it. We really were ready to go home.
The song is from “You’re a Big Boy Now”, the first movie directed by Francis Ford Coppola.
