Foxxhound is set to release their third and most ambitious album, The Devil You Know, on June 25th, 2013. The record was produced by Anthony Arvizu (Elliott Smith, Ryan Adams, Paul McCartney) and mastered at Capital Records by Kevin Barley. For Daniel, The Devil You Know was about โletting go and inviting more people in.โ The band did this in a literal sense by adding drummer Ron McGill, redefining Foxxhound as a trio and giving them the opportunity to add another dimension to their ever-evolving sound.

Foxxhound Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That's why she cried all the time
But oh how I've grown, into this charming man
With all these charming plans
Cause no one wants to feel alone, so I will stick with what I know
Singin', drinkin' with my friends, writing songs till 3am
Forgive me Ma', it's all I ever wanted to be
Cause I don't mind dying trying to find my own way home
My way home
Cause all of my life I've been a lonely man, that's why I always ran
From those I should have loved
And I took all that pain and put it in six strings
And let those holy chords sing the truth
That's all I've ever hoped to do, and that's why I am here with you
Singin', drinkin' with my friends, writing songs till 3am
Forgive me Ma', it's all I ever wanted to be
I need someone to touch my soul, to be the rock and fit the role
Well I don't mind dying trying to find my own way home
My way home, my way home, my way home
So are you going to come outside and play
Cause I don't wanta go home, home, yea I don't wanta go home
I just wanta go home, yea I just wanta go home, I just wanta go home
The lyrics to Foxxhound's song "Home" express the journey of self-discovery and the longing for connection and understanding. The first verse reflects on the singer's upbringing, where they were considered too sensitive by their mother. This sensitivity led to their mother frequently crying, possibly due to the emotional impact the singer had on their surroundings. However, as they grow older, they embrace their sensitive nature and acknowledge their transformation into a charming individual with plans and aspirations.
The chorus emphasizes the desire to avoid feeling alone by sticking to what the singer knows best. They find solace in singing, drinking with friends, and writing songs until the early hours of the morning. In this pursuit, they apologize to their mother for devoting themselves entirely to their passion, as it is all they have ever wanted to be. The need for someone who can understand them and provide support is expressed, as they desire someone to hold their hand and guide them on their journey to find a sense of belonging.
The second verse further delves into the singer's loneliness, explaining that this has been a recurring theme throughout their life. They confess to escaping from potential love and affection, which only perpetuated their loneliness. Yet, rather than allowing this pain to consume them, they channeled it into their music, pouring their emotions into the six strings of their guitar. They view these chords as holy and a means of expressing their truth, their ultimate purpose in life.
In the final part of the song, the singer pleads for someone to come outside and join them in their pursuit of finding home. They express their reluctance to return to a lonely existence and instead long for a place where they can find comfort and belonging.
Overall, "Home" is a heartfelt song that explores themes of self-expression, yearning for connection, and the impact of one's upbringing. It conveys the singer's vulnerable and emotional journey towards finding a place where they feel at home.

When I was a little, my mama said, I was too sensitive
As a child, my mother told me that I was overly emotional and easily affected
That's why she cried all the time
Her constant tears were a result of my sensitive nature
But oh how I've grown, into this charming man
Over time, I've developed into a charismatic individual
With all these charming plans
And now I have ambitious goals and aspirations
Cause no one wants to feel alone, so I will stick with what I know
Because everyone desires companionship, I'll hold on to what's familiar
Singin', drinkin' with my friends, writing songs till 3am
I find solace in the company of my friends, expressing myself through music late at night
Forgive me Ma', it's all I ever wanted to be
Mother, forgive me, but being a musician is all I've ever desired
I need someone to take my hand, show me that they understand
I long for someone who can support me and truly comprehend my inner self
Cause I don't mind dying trying to find my own way home
I'm willing to risk everything, even my life, in the pursuit of finding my true purpose and sense of belonging
My way home
My personal path to finding a place where I truly belong
Cause all of my life I've been a lonely man, that's why I always ran
Throughout my life, I've felt isolated, which is why I constantly avoided emotional connection
From those I should have loved
I distanced myself from individuals whom I should have embraced affectionately
And I took all that pain and put it in six strings
I channeled my anguish into playing the guitar and composing music
And let those holy chords sing the truth
Through the holy chords of my guitar, I allow the music to convey my genuine emotions
That's all I've ever hoped to do, and that's why I am here with you
Expressing my emotions through music is my ultimate goal, and that's why I'm sharing this moment with you
I need someone to touch my soul, to be the rock and fit the role
I desire someone who can deeply resonate with my soul, providing unwavering support and understanding
Well I don't mind dying trying to find my own way home
Even if it means sacrificing my life, I'm determined to discover the path to my true home
So are you going to come outside and play
Would you be willing to join me and engage in joyful activities?
Cause I don't wanta go home, home, yea I don't wanta go home
I am hesitant to return to a place where I feel alienated and disconnected
I just wanta go home, yea I just wanta go home, I just wanta go home
All I truly desire is to find my own solace and belonging, to discover my true home

I got my mix from a shelter 3 years ago. Grew up with a scent hound and unintentionally adopted one. The one as a child was also a shelter pup. Pretty much cemented me being a hound owner for life. TWO amazing dogs. I just found out through Embark that mine was 50% American Foxhound and 50% Catahoula. Yours is way more colorful than mine, very handsome. Mine has the "saddle" coloration. Edit: also mine annoyingly thinks he's a lapdog, too. At first, I was like: "Oh he's not that big" then year one with him, decided to be a lap dog. NOPE, he's that big. 25in and 65-70lbs.

Ha thatโs amazing, I didnโt know much about foxhounds until I found mine in the streets. My first dog was a German Shepherd hence I have a soft spot for that breed. But I do think foxhounds are awesome, I find them very funny. I am glad to read it is not only mine that is a lap dog ๐

Bruce is a lucky dog, and you are a blessed human. My Dad was a Fox Hunter. I have raised a lot of puppies. He only kept Walkers. These will always be my favorite breed. Beautiful, personality, intelligent, there is no other as loyal.
