Home Sweet Home ~ performed by Erutan ( katethegreat19 )

~ For my mom

Many of you may have heard this melody while watching cartoons, and some of you may even know the words. A version of it was featured in Studio Ghibli's "Grave of the Fireflies" at a specific sad point. There are not a multitude of new recordings of this song, which is a shame.

It proved a very difficult song in the end, and I had a lot of trouble singing it...so the performance is not what I'd like it to be. The arrangement is also very plain, which may be a positive or a negative, depending ^^;;

LYRICS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mid Pleasures and palaces though I may roam,
Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home;
A charm from the sky seems to hallow us there,
Which, seek thro' the world, is ne'er met with elsewhere. Home.

Home! Sweet, sweet home!
There's no place like home.
There's no place like home.

To thee, I'll return, overburdened with care,
The heart's dearest solace will smile on me there.
No more from that cottage again will I roam,
Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home.
