Two Songs about Home

It recently dawned on me how similar these two songs are (though they have different lyrical moods). The first, Radical Face's Welcome Home, deals with a return back to a place of comfort after being away for a while and having a less-than-perfect experience. The second, Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros' Home, is a little more homey in nature, reveling in the good aspects of being home and how, sometimes, "home" is where someone you care about is, rather than any fixed place. 

Both songs are somewhat uplifting, and I can't listen to Home without smiling (you may recognize it from the NFL commercial--I've noticed a trend of using Edward Sharpe music in commercials). Without further ado, enjoy each in succession. Hopefully you can think of Home while doing so.

"Welcome Home" - Radical Face (2007)

"Home" - Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros (2009)
