Track of the Day: Taylor Liam Jackson – Home (2026)
Embracing the golden age of Britpop, singer-songwriter Taylor Liam Jackson merges his talents with Harry O’Connell (guitar), Leo Neethling (bass guitar) and Conall Stacey (drums), to celebrate the best of times in melodic harmony. Their discography begins with 2024’s ‘Daydream’ – at least, according to Spotify – and 2025 saw the singles, ‘Northern Lights’, ‘Let me go’ and ‘Broke Inside’; however, all the while, Jackson and his crew have been winning hearts with rambunctious, electric, energetic live shows. Today, we sit back and hit the play button on their latest single, ‘Home’.
Following ‘See me around’ and ‘Twice’, ‘Home’ is more or less what it says on the tin: a song about feeling at home. I’m not talking about heading to the place you call home, but looking at the memories of not being at a physical home yet feeling happy and “at home”. Jackson explains:
“The song is a nostalgic look at growing up. It recalls being 16, spending evenings in the parks and fields with friends, making memories and never wanting the nights to end. By 18, those moments have moved to sunny beer gardens, but the feeling remains the same. ‘Home’ isn’t about a place, but the people and memories that make you feel at home. It celebrates friendship, youth, and the desire to hold onto the good times just a little longer.”
Lyrically, ‘Home’ is comforting; melodically, it’s as charming. Produced by James Singleton, Taylor Liam Jackson drags us immediately back to the 1990s world of indie-rock and Britpop. Leaning toward the lines of Dodgy and Oasis, but with a more rugged vulnerability, Taylor Liam Jackson has your toe-tapping from the outset.
Interestingly, while the tune has a rhythmic blend of drums, bass, guitar, and Jackson’s vocals, each element seemingly weaves together while still bearing a brand of individuality. Flying across and along each other, the crashing drums burn bright red, the bass shines as a blue thread, the guitar a soaring gold, while the vocals dance with a glistening silver; a kaleidoscopic sonic tapestry. For me, it’s the vocals that really up the ante. Rough and rugged, but shining with nostalgic whispers to win your heart, Jackson tells you the tale of growing up, finding yourself, and creating a past to cling to forever.
