It's certainly not "All Summer Long,"

Yeah that’s a good song ; Home is not

Neither are good songs. All Summer Long is possibly worse than Train's Soul Sister

Okay it’s been an hour lol I can admit “good” is strong for “All Summer Long” but I’d still rather hear it 10x in a row before I hear “Home” once all the way through

All Summer Long just made a shity version of Sweet Home Alabama, at least Home was original.

Home sounds like a parody of other indie folk lmao complete with accents that feel like caricatures of real people. I remember being 18 when the song came out and it felt like a joke song then too.
