Wow, what an amazing contest. This is by far the best contest I have come across and I hardly feel compelled to enter. This time I thought to myself, well there is something worth exploring.
This song is so close to my heart and it's so amazing how I only heard it for the first time while watching the 2004 American romantic drama film directed by Nick Cassavetes - The Notebook. Feels like home sang by Chantal Kreviazuk. I still cannot pronounce her name as I attempted to sing this song on various karaoke occasions. Yes I am a hopeless romantic and this has been one of my favourite movies of all time. Needless to say as time went by, I kinda forgot about the song.

A few years later, boom! I watched yet another film directed by................................ You guessed right. Nick Cassavetes again. This time a 2009 American drama film - my Sister's Keeper. Lo and behold, I hear the same song. I was at a point where this song was really haunting me now. I had to find the track. Only this time it was sung by Edwina Hayes.

This song is played daily in my household, the lyrics resonated to much that it became the only track to be considered for my wedding song. Absolutely non negotiable.
These two movies have a lot in common. Aside from the fact that they were directed by the same person, and that the same song is used. These two movies till date, are the only ones that have me sobbing like a baby. I do not want to watch them with anyone as it becomes hard to keep my tears at bay.😃
I will forever dedicate the lyrics to my Hubbylicious @imwatsi Before we met, I always had a longing to be with someone that can make me feel this way. Someone to give me true meaning to the song. The Lyrics explains it all and I hope you will enjoy and find meaning to them, just as much as I do.
Feels like Home Chantal Kreviazuk
Something in your eyes Makes me wanna lose myself Makes me wanna lose myself In your arms There's something in your voice Makes my heart beat fast Hope this feeling lasts The rest of my life If you knew how lonely my life has been And how long I've been so alone If you knew how I wanted someone to come along And change my life the way you've done Feels like home to me Feels like home to me Feels like I'm all the way back where I come from Feels like home to me Feels like home to me Feels like I'm all the way back where I belong A window breaks down a long dark street And a siren wails in the night But I'm alright 'cause I have you here with me And I can almost see through the dark there is light If you knew how much this moment means to me And how long I've waited for your touch If you knew how happy you are making me I've never thought that I'd love anyone so much Feels like home to me Feels like home to me Feels like I'm all the way back where I come from Feels like home to me Feels like home to me Feels like I'm all the way back where I belong Feels like I'm all the way back where I belong
