Song Meaning of ““On my next visit home…”” by Anthony Rapp
“On my next visit home…” speaks of a person who loves their home and wishes to reconnect with it by returning to it soon. It is a longing for the mundane, everyday life of their home and all that it brings—the familiarity of the people, the food, and the laughter. Rapp’s longing is not only for the nostalgia of home, but for the stability and sense of self it provides. He speaks of the memories the smell of home can bring and how it will bring him joy and peace. He reveals that no matter where he travels, home is truly where his heart is. This is a song of hope, of wishing and longing for something so familiar in a time of uncertainty. It is a reminder that the calm and love of home can be found in any situation, and that the longing never fades.
