This is Dawn's personal blog. The blog name Orchids in Formaldehyde hints of sweetness and darkness in her views. A paradox of perspective that is sometimes confusingly unpredictable.

Home by Gabrielle Aplin

Let me share with you my favorite artist for quite a few months now. I just can't get enough of her music. Just the kind of music I really love to listen to. I'm not much of a pop fan, although I do listen to it, along with other genres of music. But what I'm really into is country music such as this. :D

Gabrille Aplin isn't "mainstream" though. She's English and is big in UK, but most Americans and others from around the world haven't heard of her yet. Oh, her music is like sweet nothings to my ear. All her songs are catchy and I just can't decide what I love best among them. I do find myself repeating Panic Chord in my head a lot of times, just out of the blue even when I haven't listened to it for days. I highly suggest listening to her, she's amazing!

Anyway, I've decided to share this particular song to all of you since it's almost holiday season and we're all thinking of home/going home. :D I know I am! I've already booked a ticket! *Although I might have to rebook that because of a particular event.*

So, here's Gabrielle Aplin with Home. :D



I'm a phoenix in the water
A fish that's learnt to fly
And I've always been a daughter
But feathers are meant for the sky
So I'm wishing, wishing further
For the excitement to arrive
It's just I'd rather be causing the chaos
Than laying at the sharp end of this knife

With every small disaster
I'll let the waters still
Take me away to some place real

'Cause they say home is where your heart is set in stone
Is where you go when you're alone
Is where you go to rest your bones
It's not just where you lay your head
It's not just where you make your bed
As long as we're together, does it matter where we go?
Home home home home

So when I'm ready to be bolder,
And my cuts have healed with time
Comfort will rest on my shoulder
And I'll bury my future behind
I'll always keep you with me
You'll be always on my mind
But there's a shining in the shadows
I'll never know unless I try

With every small disaster
I'll let the waters still
Take me away to some place real

'Cause they say home is where your heart is set in stone
Is where you go when you're alone
Is where you go to rest your bones
It's not just where you lay your head
It's not just where you make your bed
As long as we're together, does it matter where we go?
Home home home home home home home

'Cause they say home is where your heart is set in stone
Is where you go when you're alone
Is where you go to rest your bones
It's not just where you lay your head
It's not just where you make your bed
As long as we're together, does it matter where we go?
Home home home home
