Home Is Where The Heart Is – John Butler Trio (Song)
• Draws a link between the Physical journey of refugees to Australia: past and present and the inner journey of a nation developing over time
• The refugees’ physical journey to a land of hope an the nation of Australia’s inner journey away from its heart and hope
• Ambiguity
o Double meaning/pun of ‘Home is Where the Heart is’: superficially means that it doesn’t matter what nationality you are or where you were born- how is where you feel it is. Ironically means Australia has no heart, as there is no home for refugees here, according to the government. “We can’t let them in cos the governments full of racial hate”
• Rhythm: combination of lyrics with compelling instrumental music, Repetition (‘Home is where the heart is’) and verse- increases emotional impact and strengthens the msg being put across.
• Rhetorical Question
o “seems strange to me man strange to me, don’t it seem strange to you?” – puts responder in position where they are inclined to agree- directing a point of view on the responder, encouraging them to agree
• Colloquialism & Directly addressing responder
o “But you know man” – gives effect of immediacy, as if he is personally addressing the responder
