“Homecoming #2” by Tiger Lou – A Song Review

     There is something that feels right when a band returns from an extended hiatus with a song entitled “Homecoming #2.” The lyrics include:

Call your friends and have 'em find out

That I am home

I am home.

     Tiger Lou released its third album in 2008 and then went into hibernation, at least seemingly. Those of us who are partial to the “clean” guitar sound, we emphatically state, “Welcome back!”

     The band was formed in Nyköping, Sweden in 2001, but is now based in Stockholm. Assuming that the members didn’t change during the hiatus, Tiger Lou comprises Rasmus Kellerman (vocals, guitar), Mathias Johansson (guitar), Erik Welén (bass) and

Pontus Levahn (drums).

“Homecoming #2” – The Lyrics

The pouring rain, the intersection

I'm baffled by the colors of this town

Call your friends and have 'em find out

That I am home

I am home

Whatever happened to that Spanish place?

The two-for's and the cheap plastic crates

Remember all the nights we couldn't find

our way home, our way home

Now I'm home, I am home

I fell in love with a perfect storm

I didn't wanna be alone anymore

But she spat me out in May

I took a job in a beat up bar

and fooled around with the daughters of

an alumnus from Del Mar

I tried to write just to keep me sane

but the book with the coffee stains

never grew beyond a page

So when the fire finally broke

it was just another way to choke

and find my way back home
