Far From The Home I Love Analysis

[@1gaia]

Lovely analysis. It's very dear to​ my heart as a Jew with heritage from Eastern Europe. This song is a demonstration of the inner turmoil of the Jewish diaspora. It appears to be a simple love triangle between the old and new, and a young girl, but it's a far more sophisticated message really.

What a fantastic analysis of this beautiful song! I love how you went step-by-step explaining how the music so perfectly matches and helps to convey the meaning of the lyrics. Thank you! - Brenda

Every time I listen to this song, someone in my apartment starts cutting onions

[@flaviodinnocenzo9297]

I enjoy this explanation. I love the oboe, or is it a bassoon, on the verse beginning with, "oh what a melancholy... Your awesome btw.

[@bovineking8927]

Yes! Such a great oboe countermelody there, and at the end/after the song as she walks away.

[@gentletiger4731]

Oboe.

Of course, watching this sort of thing sends my brain off onto weird musical stuff. This time it wandered to Chichester Psalms, Les Miserables, and Oedipus Tex. :-)
