Simply RedHome
‘Home’ is the title track of Simply Red’s eighth studio album, released in 2003. Home was the first album to be released under Hucknall’s own label Simplyred.com, and remains to this day one of the best selling independent album releases of all time.
The track was written by Mick Hucknall and produced by Andy Wright, and reflects a yearning for a feeling of belonging and the comfort of home. The 2025 Recollections recording of ‘Home’ is also produced by Andy Wright and released on Simplyred.com, bringing the track and album full circle 22 years on.

LYRICS
What’s worth nothing else but love
Take a walk down any street now
Every one of us in our own little world
Looking for a heart with whom to beat now
What’s worth nothing else but love
I’m prepared to take the heat now
What’s worth more than anything else at all
To keep you firmly on your feet now
So fake cool image should be over
‘Cause I long for a feeling of home
Real life, depicted in song
A loving memory
After long, home is a place where I yearn to belong
Where the land meets the sea
She’ll be smiling so sweetly now
I hope that she’ll be here much longer than I will
My heart loves her with every beat now
So fake cool image should be over
‘Cause I long for a feeling of home
Real life, depicted in song
A loving memory
After long, home is a place where I yearn to belong
Fake cool image should be over
‘Cause I long for a feeling of home
Real life, depicted in song
A loving memory
After long, home is a place where I yearn to belong
Fake cool image should be over
Home is a place where I yearn to belong
Fake cool image should be over
Home is a place where I yearn to belong
Fake cool image should be over
I’m going home
Where I belong
Fake cool image should be over
Rolling home
Fake cool image should be over
