IN OUR HOUSE
17th April 2020
"There's no place like home" is the message of "In Our House", the fourth track from Michael Mikey Brennan's second album Dreamer (2019), much like the album's opening track and lead single, "Home". The British stereotypical weather ballad blends influences and elements of pop, folk, country, soft rock, rock and roll, rhythm and blues, doo-wop, jazz, soul, reggae, blues, classical and progressive rock, incorporating the '50s progression, a I–vi–IV–V chord progression (famously used in classics such as "Heart and Soul", "Stand By Me", "Unchained Melody", "Earth Angel", "I Will Always Love You", amongst others). The song was released as a single in wake of the COVID-19 pandemic in Spring 2020, to commemorate the first national lockdown and was played regularly on Radio Sunlight's The Chatterday Show during the lockdown.

It's freezing cold outside, baby
Come inside
It's boiling hot outside, baby
Come inside
​
It's nice and warm in our house
It's nice and cool in our house

You're gonna get all wet

It's chucking it down

It's snowing outside, baby
You're gonna catch a cold
(Catch a cold)
Oh no no no no

It's too windy outside
Shut the door

It's nice and warm in our house
It's nice and cool in our house
