Since 2007, Nixon Boyd has been playing guitar in the Canadian indie rock band Hollerado. Last month, he announced his debut solo album Every Time We Turn A Corner and shared " Trouble Of Your Own ." Now, he's back with "How I Know I'm Home."

"How I Know I'm Home" is melancholy, acoustic beauty in the vein of Elliott Smith or Nick Drake. About the song, Boyd says:

A few years ago my friend Luke Doucet showed me open D tuning, and this is the first thing I wrote in that tuning that I liked. I structured it to have this long winded melody so that there’s space for a detailed and kind of rambling monologue leading into the “that’s how I know I’m home” lyric in the chorus. I think it gives the effect of blurting out words and saying way too much the way I sometimes find myself doing when I’m trying to express something really earnest and heartfelt. Arrangement-wise, this is pretty sparse but it’s also the only song on the record with a synthesizer in it.…
