UHH, THANK YOU SO MUCH
TO SOFAR FOR PUTTING

THIS EVENT ON GLOBALLY

THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR, UH,TO AMNESTY FOR...

UM, I MEAN... EXISTING?

(LAUGHTER)

UMM

UHH...

I'M GONNA FINISH WITH A SONG
THAT MEANS AN AWFUL LOT TO ME

UM...UH, IT'S A SONG THAT...

KIND OF CAME LATE

UM, IN... IN THE-- IN THE WRI--
THE WRITING PROCESS OF

UMM, AN ALBUM I
PUT OUT LAST YEAR

UM, MY FIRST ALBUM

UM, THAT I EVER PUT
OUT CALLED 'PHASE'

THIS SONG
KIND OF, UM...

SCREAMED AT ME

AT A TIME WHEN I WAS
REALLY JUST KIND OF
LOOKING FOR SILENCE

UM, AND IT...

SEEMS TO SNOWBALL
WITH POIGNANCY

AS EVERY DAY CONTINUES

UMM, I WASN'T SURE WHETHER
I SHOULD PLAY IT TONIGHT

AND THEN I REALIZED
WHY I WAS HERE

AND WHY WE'RE ALL HERE

AND THE OBV--

THE-- THE REASONS
WERE, UMM...

SCREAMING AT ME
AT THE SAME VOUME

THAT THE SONG DID
WHEN I WROTE IT

UMM, BUT I'M
GOING TO GIVE YOU

UH, I'M GONNA SAY A LITTLE
THING I USUALLY SAY BEFORE
I PLAY THE SONG ON TOUR

BECAUSE, UM, IT--
EVERY WORD THAT COMES
OUT OF MY MOUTH, UH...

IS NECESSARY AND I MEAN
EVERY SINGLE SYLLABLE

AND EVERY BREATH
IS INTENTIONAL

UM, THIS SONG MEANS
AN AWFUL LOT TO ME

UMM...

UMM...

BECAUSE, UH, IT IS ABOUT
A VERY SPECIAL PERSON

IN MY LIFE... THIS
SONG IS ABOUT, UM...

THIS SONG IS ABOUT
LIKE, FINDING A HOME

WHEN IT'S NOT SO OBVIOUS YOU
HAVE ONE IN THE FIRST PLACE

AND JUST KIND OF KNOWING
THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE

IN YOUR LIFE WHO WILL
OFFER THAT HOME TO YOU

UM, UH... TOURING AND
TRAVELING THE WORLD

IS AN INCREDIBLE
THING AND I'M VERY--

I'M VERY LUCKY TO DO IT

UM, BUT... WITH THE LUCK
COMES A LOT OF, UM...

LIKE WEIRD STUFF?

UM... INCLUDING,
BUT NOT LIMITED TO

UMM, NOT REALLY SLEEPING
IN YOUR OWN BED

UM, FOR ANY TIME

I MOVED TO CHICAGO
ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO

I SPENT THE FIRST YEAR, UM...

HAVING SPENT MAYBE THREE
WEEKS IN MY APARTMENT

AND THE OTHER TIME WAS NOT

WHICH IS A STRANGE THING, UM...

AND WHY THE REASON THAT
BECAME MORE DIFFICULT FOR ME

UM, WAS I--

REALLY STARTED TO AMP
UP MY TOURING AND STUFF

UM, AFTER MY...

UH, AFTER A TIME IN CHICAGO
ACTUALLY BEFORE COACHELLA

UM, LAST YEAR

WHERE I ASKED MY GIRLFRIEND
TO BECOME MY FIANCÉ

AND SHE SAID YES, UM...

(AUDIENCE CHEERS)

♪ ♪

WHICH WAS LOVELY AND EVERYTHING,
BUT THEN I HAD TO LIKE,

FUCK OFF

UM, TO GO AND PLAY
MUSIC IN PLACES

UM, AND THIS SONG IS ABOUT HER

UM, AND IT ALWAYS WAS ABOUT HER

BUT THEN THIS SONG
STARTED TO KIND OF TALK
TO ME IN A WEIRD WAY

AND I STARTED TO REALIZE
THAT THIS SONG WAS
ACTUALLY ABOUT HER FAMILY

UM, AND ACTUALLY THIS SONG IS
ABOUT A MUCH GREATER THING

AND THAT'S THE AMAZING THING
WHEN YOU WRITE A SONG

IS YOU NEVER WRITE
IT FOR YOURSELF

YOU ALWAYS WRITE IT FOR
THE DAY IT GETS PLAYED FOR

AND TODAY IT'S GET--
BEING PLAYED FOR YOU

SO IT'S NOT FOR ME,

IT'S NOT FOR THE
INTENTION I GAVE IT

IT IS FOR YOU AND FOR WHATEVER
INTENTION YOU WANT TO GIVE IT

UM, SORRY I'M RAMBLING

I'LL SHUT UP IN A SECOND

UMM, I UH--

THIS SONG IS ABOUT...

THIS SONG IS ABOUT
EXISTING IN A WORLD

THAT CONSTANTLY ACTS AS IF IT
DOESN'T WANT YOU THERE

AND THE REASON
WHY I SAY THAT

AND THE REASON I
BRING UP MY FIANCÉ

IS BECAUSE MY
FIANCÉ IS A PROUD

BEAUTIFUL MUSLIM WOMAN

WHO COMES FROM A PROUD AND
BEAUTIFUL MUSLIM

AND IRISH FAMILY

(LAUGHTER)

UMM...

AND THIS SONG IS FOR
HER AND HER FAMILY

UH, AS THEY CONTINUE TO FIND
THEMSELVES IN A WORLD

THAT IS LEAD BY PEOPLE WHO
ARE TRYING TO CONVINCE THEM

THAT THEY HAVE NO
PLACE AND NO SAY

AND NO STRENGTH

UM, THIS SONG IS FOR PEOPLE
WHO ARE WILLING TO SAY

THAT ALL OF THOSE
THINGS ARE WRONG

THAT THEY HAVE SAY,
THEY HAVE STRENGTH

THEY HAVE POWER

UM, THEY HAVE A HOME

WHEREVER THEY
WISH TO FIND IT

UM, I HOPE YOU ENJOY IT

THIS IS MY LAST SONG

THANK YOU AGAIN TO SOFAR

THANK YOU AGAIN TO AMNESTY

UM, THIS SONG IS CALLED
'MY HOUSE IS YOUR HOME'

WELL, I'LL BE NO
HARM TO YOU

AND MAKE YOUR PRIDE HURT

HURT NO MORE

AND WHEN THE TERRORS OF
THE NIGHT COME FOR YOU

DARLING THOUGH MY
HOUSE IS YOUR HOME

IT WAS A JEALOUS MOUTH

THAT CALLED OUT FOR YOU

A VENEMOUS TIPPLE ON

A MALICIOUS TONGUE

AND WHEN THE DEMONS SHOW

HIS FACE TO YOU

AND YOU CAN'T FIND REDEMPTION

ON YOUR OWN

DARLING, OH MY HOUSE IS YOUR
HOME

AND MY STRENGTH

IS SOMETHING I GIVE TO YOU

AND I CLOTHE MY FEARS

IN A FABRIC OF YOUR DIGNITY

AND IF IN THAT MOMENT,
THERE'S NOTHING FOR YOU

WELL, I'D STILL TELL THE WORLD

THAT YOU'RE A HOUSE FOR ME

AND DARLING NOW MY HOUSE IS YOUR
HOME

(AUDIENCE CHEERS)

THANK YOU SO MUCH,
THANK YOU GUYS

THANK YOU VERY MUCH
