This Old House
Jul 11th, 2008 by oldfogey
Craig Bickhardt’s song “This Old House” deals with leaving home for the last time. In the chorus the house itself speaks, of its regret that it will no longer be able to shelter us, who are leaving. It’s one of the great strengths of Country music that it deals with feelings and emotions that aren’t the standard themes of adolescent love or rebellion. It’s grown up. It captures perfectly feelings of shared family life, now past, that leaving the house, for the last time, makes more acute.
