Some songs take you back home. On this New Year’s Day, Haley Fishberger took me back. Her sensational voice and simple composition always manages to make her music fluid poetry. Here we take a look at her latest single, Home (305). It is an emotional journey full of reminiscent stamps.

With a unique, siren like starting, we listen to Haley with just the keys. As the song progresses, you feel the personal lyrics shining through, with essence and meaning. They are created with simplicity, yet purpose. This zealous energy shines through in her music, the rhythm and her voice in tandem of spiritual connect. By the time the strings come in, you’re entrapped in this rich, complex song of so many emotions and a quotient of progress. Her house may be muddled, different and off-beat, but it’s her own. Her voice crowns with confidence among the instrumentals, powerful yet gentle. It is like watching a diamond being born from the lump of coal, beauty in the process and the result. The command she has over the moment, her voice and the intention of the music is what makes it moving and heart-warming.

I would love to have heard this in films like Wild, and definitely The Darjeeling Limited. Being the Wes Anderson fan I am, this is the first track I am confident will slide into the movie like it is the crux of the moment, You can experience Haley Fishberger with her single Sweetheart, which is a whole other vibe. Listen to her catalogue and thank her for the start of this year with this amazing track!
