Home sweet home is an intensely heart-rending and emotional melody. This number has been originally composed by Sir Henry Bishop and has been penned down by the versatile John Howard Payne. This English melody was later featured in this Japanese anime where it was performed by the phenomenal Amelita Galli-Curci. Sung in the coloratura soprano style, this melody has some mesmerising operatic strains that are bound to strike the innermost chords of your heart. The lyrics of this number are indeed very metaphorical and have a deep sense of pathos imbibed in them. The melody harmonises well with the pensive and the sombre mood.
