Home is more than where the heart is
—
In addition to the arrival of 550,000 Middle Eastern migrants so far this year, the European Union estimates 4.1 million existing homeless people within its boundaries.
Based on data collated by the Empty Homes Campaign, 11 million homes lie abandoned throughout Europe.
In short, there are parts of the world with more empty homes than are people who have none.
That appears more insane than the homeless man who yearns to begin his life again.
Even Flow
by Eddie Vedder/Stone Gossard
Freezin’ rests his head on a pillow made of concrete
Oh Feelin’ maybe he’ll see a little betters any days
Oh hand out faces that he sees come again ain’t that familiar
Oh dark grin he can’t help when he’s happy he looks insane
Even flow
Thoughts arrive like butterflies
Oh he don’t know
So he chases them away
Someday yet he’ll begin his life again
Life again
Kneelin’ looking through the paper though he doesn’t know to read
Prayin’, now to something that has never showed him anything
Oh, feelin’, understands the weather or that winters on its way, yeah
Oh, ceilings, few and far between all the legal halls of shame
Even flow
Thoughts arrive like butterflies
Oh, he don’t know
So he chases them away
Someday yet he’ll begin his life again
Whispering hands, carry him away
Him away, him away
Yeah!
Woo
Oh yeah yeah
