Currently calling Nashville his home, Aron was born in Little Rock, AR, raised in St. Louis, MO, and moved to South Africa at the age of 16. Throughout his teen years, Aron learned how to play trumpet, bass trombone, and tuba through marching band and jazz ensemble. He began playing guitar by the age of 13, but didn’t start writing songs until he moved to South Africa where there was no symphonic band and was instead encouraged to sing and compose. Upon graduating high school, Aron moved to Nashville where he attended Lipscomb University. After graduating with degrees in Spanish, French and Marketing, Aron taught Spanish for two years before deciding to pursue music full time.
Recently Aron Wright was featured on Nashville’s local independent radio station Lightning 100’s “Local Artist Spotlight” with his song “Christmas Ain’t Christmas This Year.” As an artist, Aron has played with acts such as Matthew Perryman Jones, Jeremy Lister, The Features, Daniel Ellsworth, and Brooke Waggoner. Aron’s musical influences include Patty Griffin, Nick Drake, Jeff Buckley, Otis Redding, Maxwell, Sigur Ros, and Radiohead, to name a few.

Aron Wright Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Of this world it has no more for me
I need the call for giving peace
That only comes from my family
I wanna go home
I wanna go home
I'm following the lead of the setting sun
Like a old old tree, that no longer grows
As time went by I got hollow
If you don't know when to stay
If you don't know when to go
Then you might be building your own gallows
I wanna go home
I wanna go home
I'm following the lead of the setting sun
And I'm going back where I came from
Mama is on the front porch waving for me
My father got his hands fixing something
My brother says that he just got to see my face
It's why I'm going on home
I going home
I'm following the lead of the setting sun
And I'm going back where I came from
It's why I'm going home
I'm going home
I'm following the lead of the setting sun
And I'm going back where I came from
And I'm going back where I came from.
The song "Home" by Aron Wright is a poignant ode to the longing for one's roots and family. The first verse expresses a weariness with the world and a desire for the kind of peacefulness that can only come from being with one's loved ones. The repetition of the line "I wanna go home" adds to the sense of urgency and yearning.
The second verse uses the metaphor of an old tree that has lost its vitality over time, to suggest that without a clear sense of direction or purpose, we can become empty and hollow. The line "...you might be building your own gallows" implies that if we continue down a path without any sense of purpose or direction, it might ultimately lead to our own destruction.
The final verse describes the scene of the singer heading back to his hometown, where he is welcomed by his family. The image of his mother waving from the front porch and his brother eager to "see his face" evokes a sense of comfort and belonging, and emphasizes the importance of having a support system of loved ones.
Overall, "Home" is a powerful reminder of the deep-seated human need for a sense of belonging and connection to one's roots and family.

I have had many thoughts on this very statement.
Home, what really is it. The standard line is you can never go home, which I have found to be true. Home when we think of family is where you grew up, where you felt so completely you, that you simple were instead of what we are forced to be by life.
So you cannot go back to that because times change, people pass, buildings get torn down and your memories get betrayed by progress.
Then I thought your current family, your spouse, lover, friends, kids, etc can be home as well.... but we live in time that is a one way street and even the current "home" does not stay the same and you lose yourself still to what life makes.
Then I thought, well I was taught there is an afterlife where you will be happy and find this joy....except look at the multiple times you have already found home.... How can you be happy somewhere they would all collide. You would never trust it, or actually be happy. Unless again, something was artificially making you happy.
Home is an instant, a moment in time where all our pain, struggle, and worries are abated and for that moment we are in peace. Home does not last, and there is no going home ( although I can tell you there have been literally thousands of time in my own personal life I have wanted to go home, So I very much understand the wish)
There is only finding home, and the next moment in time that life gets confused for a sec on how to F our lives up and we get those moments of peace. They are what we live for. The times, brief and transient, where we find peace, love and complete wholeness. They are your child's birth ( as long as it does not have complications), your marriage and first bit of any relationship...the "honeymoon" phase where your other can say no wrong, and you would die before saying something wrong to them. family get togethers where you see and remember glimpse of earlier home times. a beautiful scene where you are simply so awestruck that you forget life for even a sec and just stand in harmony with nature. music that tugs on your soul and makes you forget the pain, and you just hear the soaring pleasure and rightness of the moment.
There is no Home, we all have many homes...although we can never go back there. They are just stops on the journey of life, until we bounce back though and start again.
Remember we all want this, even though we all have different visions of it. We are all just fellow travelers on the road. So be nice to others and help them make it to their next home if you can. At least do not hinder them. try to enjoy the little moments that are not quite home, but are enjoyable for you. Stay strong, and find peace when you can.
Just some thoughts on the subject. It is a very pretty song, and perhaps one of my home moments. Thank you, Aron for it.

I sang this for my step dad as we lowered his casket into the ground. His spirit is with god now and I miss him everyday. He never married my mom and he always called me and treated me like his own. I known him since I was 10 and now I am almost 40. I miss him every single minute of every single day.
I know you are in heaven in gods arms. I know your cancer and all your pain is gone in gods embrace. Just know I think of you all the time.
I miss you pops
