From the recordings You Never Can Tell and Home
Hubka’s original, “Home,” uses images of blue skies, lush fields and rolling hills to evoke the personal freedom and warm memories of her Appalachian home. It’s a sweet, easygoing folk song that spotlights her talent for drawing beauty from simplicity. “I wrote ‘Home’ when I was living in New York City, and longing to get back to nature in my home in Western Maryland,” she said. “It’s about the simple values that I grew up with in the ‘60s & ‘70s – anti-commercialism, anti-materialism. I’m inspired by those values and I feel them coming out in this music.”
