Arriving at the University of Mississippi in Oxford, Mississippi, he had initial aspirations of being an art major, while also being a very capable golfer and a member of Kappa Sigma Fraternity.
Kelley released his indie album Changing Faces in 2001, signing with Hollywood in 2002. Working with John Alagia as his producer, Kelley released For The Ride Home in 2003. He also made an appearance at the Bonnaroo Music Festival in 2003. The song "Everybody Wants You" was recommended to be written by a friend to not forget who he is, while "Amazing" was possibly his first critically acclaimed hit.
Josh Kelley's 2011 record, Georgia Clay, was his first Country album; his previous work was more pop. Speaking with Songfacts in a 2011 interview, Kelley explained that Gone Like That was the song that actually started his journey into Country music. He said: "I had written and presented it to my music publisher to pitch to other artists, but they liked my demo so much they encouraged me to cut it. It was the first song I wrote that gave me the confidence to pursue a career as a Country singer."
His musical guise can be recognized akin to Jack Johnson, John Mayer, or Ben Harper.
Kelley remains a supporter of Napster-like sharing peer to peer applications for independent artists who have a difficult time receiving an audience. In fact, Kelley was "found" after accidentally targeting Eric Clinger at Hollywood Records with private spam messages using the Napster program.
Home To Me
Josh Kelley Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Isn't it crazy how we never get it right
Time is wasted on money and money wasted on lust
Treat her like a lady and she'll never get enough
'Cause it's you that I'm running to baby
It's you that I'm feeling for lately and
It's like a pain that never goes away
'Cause you are home to me, cause you are home to me
'Cause you are home to me, cause you are home to me
It's it perfect how the memories feel the same
Isn't it amazing how the song remains unchanged
Time is wasted on money and money wasted on lust
Treat her like a lady and she'll never get enough
The opening lines of Josh Kelley's "Home to Me" suggest that life moves quickly, and sometimes we fail to appreciate what we have. The roads, which are often symbolic of the journey of life, pass us by without our notice. Despite our best efforts and intentions, we can fail to make the right decisions, and we frequently squander our time and resources. We may pursue wealth or fleeting pleasures, but in the end, these pursuits are empty and leave us unfulfilled. The singer suggests that the key to finding purpose and meaning in life is to treat the people in our lives with the respect and dignity they deserve. By valuing others and treating them well, we can forge deep, lasting connections that make life worth living.
In the chorus of the song, Josh Kelley expresses his commitment to his partner. He describes her as his "home," suggesting that she provides a sense of stability and security in an unstable world. He suggests that he has been searching for a place to belong, and he has finally found it in her. The pain he feels is the pain of being separated from her, and the sense of longing he experiences reminds him of the depth of his love. Ultimately, the song is an ode to the power of love and the need we all have for a place to call "home."

It's curious how we often fail to appreciate our surroundings as we go through life
Isn't it crazy how we never get it right
It's bewildering how we repeatedly make mistakes without learning from them
Time is wasted on money and money wasted on lust

It's you that I'm feeling for lately and
You have been on my mind and my emotions continue to be invested in you
It's like a pain that never goes away
My sensations and emotions for you continue constantly, and never completely ease
And it always starts today
Every moment in the present is a new opportunity and starting point for our relationship
Cause you are home to me, cause you are home to me
You bring me a sense of belonging and comfort similar to that of being at home
It's it perfect how the memories feel the same
It's amazing how the memories of our love remain as strong and unchanged as ever

Aina Sabido,
You'll probably read this in a few days or couple of days or even years, after splitting our ways. I want you to know how beautiful your eyes, your nose, your lips, your soul. How beautiful you are. I thought we have the greatest, but thought, it was the best relationship I have ever had. You taught me a lot of things about relationship, family.. Life. Like humongously huge of teachings. You changed me for the better. I never thought I'd be writing this things now in the comment box. I was afraid tell you in person, because of what happened last time. This might be the last option I can do. And I hope you fulfill your dreams, your career. I really miss your 'mama's Lemonade and Sandwich you guys made for me. Wishing you all the best for you. I have loved you so much. I always will.
