\u201c(The song) speaks of the reason I left in the first place; to find work; missing my baby girl (now 21), playing gigs with my brother and best friend, Barry, (who\u2019s been living in Alberta for years), Sundays at home after Mass with family, singing and playing guitars and laughing \u2018til it hurt at my late Uncle Cyril\u2019s stories and jokes, and, perhaps, in the end (of the song), a hope that those feelings of despair and loneliness from missing home would dissipate somewhat through time spent with new friends and long-lost relatives\u2026\u2026 and maybe the song and it\u2019s message might allow a bit of comfort.\u201d<\/p>\n
