Get Behind Fanny: Episode 22
Listen now
Description
Episode 22 is a special episode dedicated to June Millington’s socially conscious and touching song “You’ve Got A Home” from “Fanny Hill” as well as we briefly discuss June’s recently disclosed health issue. Alice, Kristen, and Byron are joined by Jean and June Millington via pre-recorded interviews. From UFO Nigel Langridge: As for the beautiful “You’ve Got A Home”… I can only assume June wrote it for/about Brie’s daughter Brandi (“Punkin”)… from what I’ve read in June’s book Brie and Brandi lived at FH for a while, and she could’ve been the inspiration. June’s 12-string playing and slide work are stunning. Offering space to the lyric but providing us with a melancholic edge bolstered by the sweet backing vocal harmonies. Lyrically we have the tumult of storm tempered with bedtimes, the desire of a house in a perfect place, building fires and the simple sweet surprise of snow… it’s very comforting. It’s a massive contrast to the lyric “I didn’t plan it but I’m glad that you were born.” It is certainly a paean to single parents; June was years ahead of her time writing this!
