Шерил Кроудың "Home" әні туралы

1997 single by Sheryl Crow

"Home" is a song from American musician Sheryl Crow's 1996 self titled album. Written and produced by Crow, the folk ballad was released as the final single from the album on October 6, 1997, and was later included on her greatest hits album The Very Best of Sheryl Crow (2003). "Home" was released commercially only in Europe. It became Crow's ninth top 40 hit in both Canada and the United Kingdom, peaking at numbers 40 and 25, respectively. A black and white music video directed by Samuel Bayer was made for the song.

"Home" is described as a folk ballad by Sal Cinquemani of Slant Magazine, and its lyrics describe the stresses of a failing marriage. According to the digital sheet music published at Musicnotes, "Home" is written in the key of G major and plays in common time at a slow tempo of 80 beats per minute.

Larry Flick from Billboard wrote, "After several rock fueled singles, Crow drops the volume and tempo to a soft rock tone for this harshly intimate tune. Her hushed, evocative vocal proves that ya don't have to shriek to stir a listener's emotions. In fact, her whispered line "my house is full of lies" is about as intense or powerful as anything you're likely to hear right now. She is supported by an accessible shuffle beat and guitar lines that mingle warm, acoustic threads with sharp, bluesy electric licks. Any station that played the hit "Strong Enough" has no excuse but to give this superior recording a fair shot."
