There's nothing quite like music to take us back home or to a memory that lives in our mind. Maybe its an old country song that makes you think of childhood or a new melody that speaks to your soul. Here are publisher Amy Bailey's favorite songs that feel like home.
This Must Be The Place Talking Heads
This playful, catchy song is the perfect pick me up to make you grateful for home.
On My Knees Red Clay Strays
The Mobile rooted band Red Clay Strays are the talk of the music world for their talent and their soulful Southern sound that blends country, gospel and rock.
Tonight We'll Be Fine Leonard Cohen
One of Cohen's first notable songs, it takes me back to living in New York and listening to his velvety voice in my Upper East Side apartment. The lyrics make one think of youth, love, and sensuality.
Deeper Well Kacey Musgraves
A beautiful song that embraces the beauty of getting older and outgrowing things that do not serve you.
Crimson and Clay Jason Isbell
North Alabama's own sings about the lure of the crimson and clay and how he can't seem to keep himself away. I think many of us can identify with this feeling
Kodachrome Paul Simon
This song was before my time, but I remember discovering it in high school and listening to it nonstop. It is upbeat and catchy and immediately takes me back to driving around Huntsville as a 16 year old.

Even as a kid, I remember knowing all the words to so many songs. I loved riding around listening to my parents' music, hearing my grandmother sing in church, or unboxing to my new cds from Camelot Music. Certain songs seem to speak to me, they didn't just sound nice, they evoked a deeper feeling of home.
