Homesick Lyrics

Patrick Matthews: I like "Homesick". Craig likes "Mary Jane". I think "Homesick" sounds classic in a Glen Campbell type way. (the-vines.net, May 2002)

Patrick Matthews: That song ["Homesick"] is totally self-explanatory. Craig's not ironic at all in his songs. If he says, "I'm highly evolved", he means it. Well, at least as long as the song goes on. Some people thought that "Highly Evolved" was some cynical commentary on modern life, you know that we're all so highly evolved but we've fucked up the earth. It isn't at all. (NME, May 2002)

Craig Nicholls: I don’t think I was [homesick when recording "Homesick"]. I was just too on edge, really hyper about making the album ‘cause I knew it was coming together so well. (Joss Hutton Interviews Craig Nicholls in April 2002, DTI, April 2006)

Craig Nicholls: When we were recording "Homesick", in the middle section, I was doing all these low harmonies and Patrick figured out a little melody and Rob [Schnapf, producer] helped out. We all work as a team. Patrick, Rob and me, we have our ideas and put ‘em together, although I’m usually really stubborn about what I want. (Idem)
