Listen to this when
To Build a Home
Some homes aren't walls. They're a person. And losing them feels the same. 🏚️
Who it's for
The slow, looped piano chords create a steady, almost meditative base that makes it safe to sink into sadness, the core of catharsis through sad music.
Feelings it meets
What it is
"To Build a Home" is a 2007 piano ballad by the English group The Cinematic Orchestra, with vocals and piano by Canadian singer-songwriter Patrick Watson. It was the second single from the band's third studio album, Ma Fleur. Phil France, Jason Swinscoe and Watson wrote it, and Swinscoe produced it, with strings in the arrangement. The song is about wanting to build a home with a loved one.
