The Whole Nine Yards Season 2 Episode 141 November 7th 2021With Roy Stannard on Burgess Hill Community Radio 103.8FMComing Home (for bad)
Last week we played a selection of songs celebrating home, the people back home and returning home. I noticed when compiling this that not all songs about home are born out of positive experience. Home can also be a place to run from, dread returning to, and the theatre of bad memories – and even tragedy.
On this show we play Coming Home (for bad). Great, sad songs about home.
