Blake Rave Finds "Home" In New Single
Blake Rave yearns for comfort on his recent single “Home.” The gentle acoustic number evokes country radio with none of the cheese. This is a sincere love song that is complicated by anxiety and uncertainty. Inspired by the early days of lockdown (since we’re still in a pandemic,) “Home” brings us the comfort we were all looking for in those bleak days.
“I wrote the song “Home” during the pandemic while living in Omaha, Nebraska. It was so eerie – the busy downtown streets were empty; the sidewalks and shops were empty and it filled me with a sense of hopelessness,” explains Rave. “I remember feeling so isolated and frustrated; I was longing for normalcy and comfort. It’s actually the first song I wrote in which I broke my lyrical autonomy… The first line of the song came out of my mouth and it felt so natural, but also surprised me.”
