An anthology of ten compositions that vividly illustrate the challenges of being human while documenting the artistic evolution of David Hobbes as a songwriter and musician. 

In short, David Hobbes released his debut album “Searching For A Home” on July 26, 2024. Hobbes had just about given up on the project. However, an inspiring road trip through Idaho and a rekindled passion for songwriting, spurred by Jeff Tweedy, ignited new commitment in him. This led to the creation of the album’s title track. “Searching For A Home” serves as a powerful testament to the profound significance of songs and music, as well as the necessity to project these messages into the world. The song impressively blends elements of folk and rock, distinguished by its poignant sound that masterfully underscores the heartfelt lyrics. The title is characterized by a distinctive acoustic guitar rhythm, conveying a deep longing for belonging. 

Hobbes openly expresses his yearning for a place that feels like home. This is a quest undertaken by many, thus generating a high emotional resonance. Consequently, Hobbes’ ‘Searching For A Home’ becomes the wistful melody for all adventurers who are on an eternal quest for their place in the world but have not yet arrived.
