Alt-Pop Group Joan & The Giants Put Things Into Perspective With Heartfelt New Single “Home Song”
Perth-based alt-pop group Joan & the Giants have shared their second single of 2022 with their emotionally-driven release “Home Song”. The group, lead by real-life partners Grace Newton-Wordsworth and Aaron Birch, draw on their personal experiences to write meaningful and heartfelt pop songs.
Their latest is no exception, and was written as love letter to Aaron during an incredibly difficult period of loss. Embossed in a warm, elegant soundscape, “Home Song” acts as a reminder not to take anything for granted, as Grace reflects: “‘Home Song’ was written on a Sunday in June 202I. Aaron and I had a pointless fight over nothing (probably the dishes), then he saw all of these missed calls on his phone and found out his grandma was seriously ill and he needed to fly to Broome immediately to say goodbye.
When he flew away, it put everything into perspective and I just wanted to take the pain from his chest and hold it for a while. It taught me to not take anything for granted, and to hold the people you love close… So this song is for Aaron, my home.”
