1) Flemming is an Amsterdam-based band, founded in 1997 as Lemming.
In April 1998, the band (originally known as Lemming) released a self-financed debut The Search EP. It consists of five songs, recorded in a cheap and obscure studio in Amsterdam in two days. Mainstream pop critics were positive about the recordings, and Flemming were offered a spot on the main stage of the London Calling festival in Paradiso, Amsterdam in October 1998. Flemming then played at the annual Noorderslag Festival in Groningen. Warner Music offered Flemming a recording contract and preparations for the recording of the first full-length album, to be produced by label mate Tom Pintens of Flemish band Zita Swoon.
Because of legal problems concerning a reunion tour of 1970s horror rock act Lemming, the band name was officially changed to "Flemming". In July 2000, Flemming's official self-titled debut was released. Dutch established pop watchers and critics were positive about the album. Pop magazine LiveXS chose the album as album of the month. The first single released from the album was the song "Name?". The promotional video, in which the band performed the song next to the set of an adult movie, was banned from the Dutch music channel TMF during day time. A censored version did reach day time television.
While promoting their debut album in Dutch live circuit, Flemming also made numerous appearances on Dutch TV and radio during 2000/2001. Programs like 2-metersessies, TMF Café and De Plantage featured TV performances of the band. On the radio Flemming performed on Leidsekade live, BNN Live and Isabelle. In 2001, Flemming played at the Noorderslag Festival once more, and in May 2001 "Starry Night" became the second single from the debut album. The song was orchestrated by Robert Kirby, well known for his work with English singer-songwriter Nick Drake (1948–1974).

Tonight, tonight
Running in the dark, and my face feels warm
Tonight
I can't believe I let you go
Again
I can't believe I let you go
And I know the world is changing
And so are you, so are you
And I know my heart is aching
Can you feel it too?
Cause it feels like home
It feels like home
Cause you feel like home to me
Like home to me
Running in the yard
Looking at the stars
Tonight, tonight
Laying on the ground
Feeling lost and found
Tonight
I can't believe I let you go
Again
I can't believe I let you go
My friend
And I know the world is changing
And so are you, so are you
And I know my heart is aching
Can you feel it too?
Cause it feels like home
It feels like home
Cause you feel like home to me
Cause it feels like home
It feels like home
Cause you feel like home to me
All the memories are changing
Memories are fading
And I starting to blame you
All the memories are changing
Memories are fading
And I starting to blame you
All the memories are changing
Memories are fading
And I starting to blame you
All the memories are changing
Memories are fading
And I starting to hate you
Cause it feels like home
It feels like home
Cause you feel like home to me
Cause it feels like home
It feels like home
Cause you feel like home to me
No, no, no
Feels like home to me
Cause it feels like home
Like home
Like home to me
Like home to me
Like home to me
Flemming's song "Like Home" portrays the emotions of the singer who is reminiscing about a past relationship. The song starts with the singer running up the stairs with bare feet and feeling warm on their face, implying a sense of urgency and nostalgia. They then express their disbelief that they let go of the person in the past and describe how the memories are changing, fading, and they are starting to blame the other person.
The lyrics convey a sense of longing and loss, as if the singer is trying to find solace in the memories of their past relationship that had a sense of belonging and familiarity. The repeated phrase, "Cause it feels like home, it feels like home, cause you feel like home to me," emphasizes the idea of home, which symbolizes a sense of comfort and security that the singer feels with their past lover. The song ends with the singer saying, "Feels like home to me," perhaps suggesting that the memories of the past are more comforting than the present reality.
Overall, "Like Home" is a poignant and heartfelt song that portrays the emotions of nostalgia, longing, and loss, which are universal emotions that anyone who has experienced a breakup can relate to.
Line by Line Meaning
Running up the stairs, and my feet are bare
I'm moving quickly to reach you, with no protection on my feet
Tonight, tonight
This moment is the one that matters
Running in the dark, and my face feels warm
I'm racing forward with hope and energy, in a dimly lit and unfamiliar space
I can't believe I let you go
I regret the choice I made to separate from you
Again
This isn't the first time I've felt this way
My friend
You were close to me, someone I relied on
And I know the world is changing
The environment around us isn't static
And so are you, so are you
You, like everything else, are evolving and adapting to your surroundings
And I know my heart is aching
I feel a deep emotional pain inside me
Can you feel it too?
Do you understand what I'm going through?
Cause it feels like home
Being with you gives me a sense of belonging
It feels like home
This familiar connection brings me comfort
Cause you feel like home to me
Your presence makes me feel at ease and accepted
Running in the yard
Moving forward with freedom and joy
Looking at the stars
Reflecting on the beauty of the universe
Laying on the ground
Resting and reflecting on the world around me
Feeling lost and found
Experiencing a mix of emotions, including uncertainty and discovery
All the memories are changing
The past is being reframed in light of present circumstances
Memories are fading
Recollections of our time together are becoming less vivid
And I starting to blame you
I'm becoming resentful and attributing fault to you
And I starting to hate you
I'm experiencing an intense negative emotion directed towards you
No, no, no
I reject these negative thoughts and feelings
Like home to me
Our connection is vital and irreplaceable, like the feeling of being at home
