long lost home - songs by Joe Messanella
Long Lost Home is the protest music of American singer/songwriter Joe Messanella. As an American living abroad I have been following events back home with a heavy heart.These songs are a reaction to the blatant misuse of 9/11 to plunge an unsuspecting nation into a war in Iraq that is proving devastating to my nation and a rude awakening to it's people! I Long for the America I left behind years ago , one that's respected and looked at in awe by the world. Though written back in 2005 , the songs are more relevant today than ever!

"The 51st State"(state of denial) sums up the "Bush" presidency. "a stooge willing to lie sending yours off to die" is one of the sure to become famous lines in the song .
"The Truth" explores the true motivations for the Iraq War. Most have tired of this war of choice , but there's no easy way out and after all you have to go with the war you have."Won't the Truth rear it's ugly head" ..It has , and it is ugly.
"Zip Code" deals with the disconnect of the "home front warriors" who have no desire to serve , or sacrifice for this "war of choice", and are content to allow a small percentage of Americans pay the price for our leader's folly. It was no easy task , it took a special talent to be able to drive a super power into a deep sandy ditch , wheels spinning , unable to move forward or back out!
I would like to thank the "thousands" from all around the globe who who have been returning to hear my new songs and for your comments. If this is your 1st visit , please take the time to listen to my songs , and check out my excellent lyrics. More will be added , when time allows.
