"Make It Home" - Juliana Hatfield
This is officially my 200th song on BedSongStory so I had to make it a good one. Something that hits close to home without being about anyone in particular. I wanted it to be a Tagalog song to make it more challenging for people to figure out, but obviously playlist isn't quite that fluent yet. So I flashed back to the past and skimmed through sentimental love songs and classic rock ballads, but there's just too much to choose from and I don't feel like getting overwhelmed. So, I put that on pause and sprang back into the future playing a few popular songs, but I hear it too much on the radio as it is and knew soon enough I'd regret giving it more attention.
I scanned You Tube, Amazon, and Google searching through a few of my favorite soundtracks: Practical Magic, Waiting to Exhale, Chicago, Forrest Gump, Dirty Dancing...and then I remembered the movie, The Craft. More witches, magic, and mayhem. My kinda genre. So, I sorted through its tracks and found Juliana Hatfield. She sang something different here, but fortunately enough playlist brought me to her original song that took me back to a time when nothing made sense and it felt amazing.
The first time I heard "Make It Home" was on the early 90's, cult-classic TV show My So-Called Life (Vol. 4, Episode "So-Called Angels"). You see Hatfield sitting in a music room, dressed in rags and strumming her guitar. At first glance, you think she's a homeless girl trying to beat out the cold by sneaking onto school grounds after the bell rings. But as the show progresses, you come to find out that she's really an angel.
She definitely saved me tonight.
Lyrics:
Deepening night, think on a time
All was bright
Here in this dark place, I see in your face
All is not right
Make it, make your way home
Better than the last
Break it, break the alone
Take a second chance
Open a window, let in the snow
Cold is all I know
Go to the fire, stir it around
There's a warmer place for you to go
So, make it, make your way home
Better than you have
Break it, break the alone
Leave it in the past
Oh, look and you'll find it
Someone wants to love you
Look and you'll find it
Someone wants to love you
Wake it, wake your dream
One forgotten me
Sleepin' deep inside o' you
Heavenly peace
