Francesco Le Metre meets us with a re-release of “Home“, a piece that instantly brings a sense of peace. Originally composed as a reflection on family moments he longs for while in the USA, this new version takes a much more intimate and personal approach. You can feel the space he’s created, inviting us into what feels like a quiet moment at home, where time slows down, and memories resurface.
The minimalist piano setup really emphasizes the vulnerability of the track. It strips away the layers, allowing the soft swells of each note to linger longer, creating a meditative soundscape. What stands out most about this version of “Home” is its ability to mirror the feeling of yearning for something so simple yet so essential—those small everyday moments that we often overlook but mean the world when they’re absent. It’s as if Le Metre is bringing us into his living room, sharing those deeply personal memories with each stroke of the piano.
Listening to “Home” live after four years must have been quite a profound experience for Francesco. You can hear the connection he has to the piece in every note—like revisiting an old friend after time apart. The rawness of this performance makes it even more compelling, allowing listeners to sink into its peaceful warmth. There’s something so powerful in its simplicity, where the absence of distractions makes the emotions shine through even more.
