Every creative act tells a story. This song “New Home” by Bukahara tells a beautiful and meaningful story about the meaning of feeling at home, about the meaning of having a home. In this path called human life we’re all looking for a place we can call in such a way. A place where we can be free, where we can be ourselves. We leave the known and walk into the unknown in order to find a place where we can live in harmony… For some of us it’s a choice, for others it’s an imminent necessity: a question of life or death. They leave their physical home, their families, friends, jobs and culture because of war, injustices, oppression. They are who we call immigrants, creating a separation, as if they were so different from us. But, they aren’t. It’s up to us too to make them feel at home. It’s up to all of us to make everyone feel at home wherever we are on the planet. In a way or another we all are immigrants moving towards a place we can really call home.
“I will come to a point in my life. When I decide not to hide anymore I will pack my bag And leave my friends My home Leave everything And go away I will be strong I will be proud And not afraid of anything that will come along And I promise you I make my way through the day And through the night With a smile on my face I leave this dirty place To find myself a new home And if anybody wants to know Where I am Tell him I’m gone to find mysel fA new home I will eat what I get nd sleep outside Cause I won’t need anything There will be no space And be no time And I will try To be myself (yeah) And I will live in harmonie With everything that surrounds me I will have good days I will have bad days But I will feel alive (yeah) With a smile on my face I leave this dirty place To find myself a new home And if anybody wants to know Where I am Tell him I’m gone to find myself A new home (yeah) A new home A new home (yeah) A new home I will miss my friends And miss my home Cause I will be Alone I will ask myself For many times If that is worth To be free But then I will remind myself Of what I’m looking for With a smile on my face I will go to another place To find myself a new home And if anybody wants to know Where I am Just tell him I’m gone To find myself A new home” Lyrics, New Home, Bukahara (Gipsy, Reggae, Balkan Band)
