“Head Home” by Midlake
From the album The Trials of Van Occupanther (2006)
“Head Home” by Midlake appears on 2 radio countdowns from 1 station between 2009 and 2024. It was first released in 2006 on the album The Trials of Van Occupanther. Its best result is #738 on the WXPN The 885 Greatest Songs of the 21st Century (2024).
"Head Home" is Tim Smith's song from top to bottom: he wrote both the music and the words for this track on The Trials of Van Occupanther, the second album Midlake released on Bella Union in 2006. Smith co-produced it with the American band, and Paul Alexander engineered and mixed it together with them.
The album opens with "Roscoe", which grew into one of Midlake's signature songs, and a 10th-anniversary reissue in 2016 dressed the record in new cover art and photographs and added two songs that had never been released.
