Truthfully I’m not a marine. I haven’t served or anything like that. But this song makes me miss home. I’m in college and I miss my family so much. I miss my mom and dad and my six brothers and most especially my dog. If you’re looking for a reason to pray, pray for all those who are serving, and also that I can make it though this semester of college.
I hope you made it. If you did, keep going! If you needed to start again at a later point then that’s ok. Go again, taking it one day at a time. You don’t need to see the whole staircase, just the next step. 💫
Hang in there addiesanford. Part of being away at school is adapting to the new, ever changing environment. You make friends just as fast as you lose them. I "re-connected" with faith while in college, the missing back home stuff is definitely part of it. It'll go by fast, just hang in there brother.
My wife and I are both Colorado natives. We went to Washington DC for a job for 6 years before I was able to get a transfer back to Colorado. I had this song cranked when we hit the Kansas/Colorado border. We both broke down knowing we were home.
This song makes me reflect on how fast time has moved. I got this album in late 2008. Only a few years after his rise to fame. Freshman year of highschool. I enjoyed this album a lot. Here it is 2021 and I’m still enjoying it. Invest time wisely folks. It’s very precious and disappears quickly.
Says who? We attacked a group whom had continuously threatened our country and the soldiers whom give us our freedom to be able to even discuss this. Terrorists are Terrorists.
Lyrics: I'm staring out into the night Trying to hide the pain I'm going to the place where love And feeling good don't ever cost a thing And the pain you feel's a different kind of pain [Chorus] Well, I'm going home To the place where I belong And where your love has always been enough for me I'm not running from No, I think you've got me all wrong I don't regret this life I chose for me But these places and these faces are getting old So, I'm going home Well, I'm going home The miles are getting longer, it seems The closer I get to you I've not always been the best man or friend for you But your love remains true And I don't know why You always seem to give me another try [Chorus] So, I'm going home To the place where I belong And where your love has always been enough for me I'm not running from No, I think you've got me all wrong I don't regret this life I chose for me But these places and these faces are getting old Be careful what you wish for 'Cause you just might get it all You just might get it all And then some you don't want Be careful what you wish for 'Cause you just might get it all You just might get it all, yeah [Chorus] I'm going home To the place where I belong And where your love has always been enough for me I'm not running from No, I think you got me all wrong I don't regret this life I chose for me But these places and these faces are getting old I said, these places and these faces are getting old So, I'm going home Well, I'm going home
Chris never needed to be the winner of American Idol for me to want to hear more music from him after the season ended. I never expected his first album to be as amazing at it was when it released and for it to become part of some of my most cherished memories of my childhood.
I came here from Criminal Minds, 3rd season. This was played on one episode, and even though I've always loved this song, I had no idea who sang it until I looked it up.
I think that this song is really about a Christian who has been backsliding and living a sinful life but is now repenting and coming back to Jesus....like me.
This song makes me cry and realize how many soldiers who went to war for us to defend our country never made it home and being a daughter of a marine sergeant and a adopted daughter of a coast guard rescue swimmer and how much my real dad did to protect this country with his brother and sisters and my adopted Dad who was in the coast guard risk his life during hurricanes and major floods .. And I just realize in 2017 that I was adopted and my real Dad was a Marine Sargent .. So I'm am thankful and proud to be a daughter of both a Marine Sargent and a Coast Guard Rescue Swimmer ..
And it makes me cry about my old coast guard swim coach who lost his life in Mobile rip Fernando on a training .. He was suppose to be transfer to Michigan when my Dad was up there I was so happy to see my old swim coach and then I found out he passed away on a training and broken my heart that year..
Wow my dad was osi agent air force. He took his life.. ..was physically mentally abusive BUT also had good q qualities. So i try to remember the good stuff. He had a hard life before us. Hugs to all
We have seen them in concert every year for 5 years straight ever since I came back from Afghanistan. It was a coming home present from her and our kids. This song resonates with me and my family because with all the cracks I have she always seems to be right there. Im so happy to have something so grand to come back to. You guys are awesome!
@@pamc4106 It’s addictive listening to his song, unfortunately artist today have no inspiration and no talent for music. Is this your favorite song? and what part of the world are you writing from???
My father is an overseas Filipino worker. He had been away from our homeplace ever since I was little. We did try to live in the country he worked in but my parents decided it was best to live in the Philippines. I never understood how painful it was for him to be alone in such a place while he is providing for his family who are staying in the place he also called as "home". As college life started to appear into my life, the more I felt the pain and the emotions. I wish I did more longing. I wish I called him more. As I'm typing this, I'm crying. The saddest part is there is a possibility I will in a completely different country to be with my foreign boyfriend. My parents will stay in the Philippines for retirement. It feels like I'd waste those precious times that I can make up for my dad. I'm so sorry, dad. Please know that I love you.
+Angel Capricorn Same here, for a year and a half now I've lived halfway across the nation from home for a job. Though I'm hoping to move back in a few months if the stars align. If I get a job up there, this is the first song I'm playing to my parents. Stay strong, it'll get better, :)
This is the song I used to listen to on the plane ride back to the states on repeat after my Iraq & Afghanistan tours had ended. ❤ 🎶 "The miles are getting longer it seems, the closer I get to you"🎶 🎶"These places & these faces are getting old, I'm goin home".🎶
Deep meaning song which goes right inside your heart and strip over your Soul & by the time it reaches your mind you are relaxed.This is what you call a Daughtry Classic.
My nans favourite song before she died... still my favourite song. it was something we shared. reminds me of her everytime! i miss singing it with her :'( I love you nan!!! such a good memorable song!
My condolences to you about you're grandma. I understand the feeling and can realite,my wife passed away in 2017 and my dad passed away in is sleep 6 month's latter. He loved listing to Chris Dougherty with me, when he came out with a new CD my dad was there to bye it. Again condulunses to for you're grandma,all you can do is take it one day at a time and know that she's watching over you and you'll see her again :)
I don't regret this life God's given me. It was all a part of His Grand Plan to get me to my home with you. I also pray for those who aren't physically home. May God's hands get you home.
This song is for all the frontliners who can't go home to their families because of the pandemic. I hope one day it'll over and you all can go home safely. Thank you so much for the service.
Rymrt Csta: I got to finally see my girlfriend again earlier this year after 530 days apart, due to her being a frontline worker (she's a teacher). I'm at high risk for catching COVID-19. We've been together almost 12 years, and this was the longest time that we had been apart from each other. I love her so much. I'm planning on proposing to her by the end of the year.
I have sung ONLY THE CHORUS of this song so many times, not knowing who it was or where it came from, Tonight I discovered this band, and am amazed that every song I have heard has been GREAT. Then I found this song, and finding it now almost feels like God reminding me of His love and home He has for me. Just my personal feeling tonight. Not sure about the deeper meaning of the song, but definitely hear parts of the words as meaningful for my relationship with God.
10 years have passed since I heard this song on a train ti NYC. Still brings back memories of those times every time I listen to this majestic song. Bravo, Daughtry!
This gets me to think of when Christ is soon to come.... and we at the last days. And how God always loves us no matter what we have done. We're almost there......
A co-worker of mine was brutally attacked this past Friday night. We work in the security industry. He was on life support until Sunday morning when he passed away. I immediately thought of this song because it talks about going home. I interpret this as my co-worker going to home to Heaven. I know he is in a better place.
Everyone has different likes, but this man has the greatest rock voice I have ever heard....jmo. I know, Robert Plant, Steve Perry, and many more I'm not thinking of at the moment, but his voice is awesome. I'm sure Rolling Stone has them all rated at some point. And, great song!
This song is beautiful. When I listen to this soft rock song I feel relaxed sometimes emotional but it's still in my head. And this song mean a lot to me.
Thank u for ur service and sacrifice u and others have made for people u don't even know I wish I could meet u or others who served not to ask questions but say thank each and every man and women who served or do serve I am very grateful 2 each and every one epically the ones who made the ultimate sacrifice, USA proud!!!!!
"No, I think you got me all wrong I don't regret this life I chose for me But these places and these faces are getting old" I am starting to regret my life. My favourite Daughtry song. AWESOME SONG
Brilliant American feelgood song.....have always truly loved this type of music ever since I first went to the States in 83 and got exposed to bands like journey and Bob segar, Jackson browne and so so many others to mention........so many wonderful memories of california its people the glorious sunshine and of course the fantastic music......God bless u all and please remember to b kind to each other xxx 😇🥰❤❤❤

Haven’t heard this song in years!! Makes me happy when Im heading home from driving a long distance!! Heard this song when i was a few miles away from home
as soon as i get out of college i’m going to Los Angeles to see my long distance girlfriend. i can’t wait to spend time with her and be with her for the rest of my life. baby if you read this i love you and i can’t wait to see you soon.
I’ve never ever interpreted this song anything other than an artist tired of the road and wanting to go home but my ol lady’s cousin sadly took his own life and this song found us and hit different on levels coming through the speakers on the way to his parents 😢
I love the old songs more then The songs from 2020. I love 2010 Songs. :) Especially in this pandemic GOD this is so good! This and Obviously make me forget about everything I have been going through this is just TOO GOOD!!
I think this is a song that should be played in front of the Vietnam veterans memorial the Korean veterans memorial and any other memorial for our troops
I think he is talking about an individual who has moved from their home town and is moving back to be with an old flame because they realize that the old flame was the real deal. The individual may just get get it all ( like career, home life etc ) instead of one or the other and some things you do not want.. ( the ugly part of the situation) ...etc ...that is my interpretation....your's may be different different.
