Anna Smyrk echoes the sentiments of so many people with wanderlust in her latest song “Home.”
It’s a moving exploration of our personal conceptions of home set against the backdrop of the Solomon Islands, where she lived for two and a half years. During her time abroad she observed the strong connection many of the locals felt to the land, despite the impact of climate change. This connection was in stark contrast to the nomadic existence she’d come to enjoy so far from her home rural Victoria.
“Home” comes from Anna’s sophomore EP, which features more tales of her time abroad. Hear more songs from that upcoming release at the following shows.
19 July 2019 – Oscar’s Alehouse, Belgrave
