The Soundtrack to Finding Your Way Home

“Home” is more than a place — it’s a rhythm, a memory, a feeling deep in your bones. It’s the scent of something familiar in the air, the echo of laughter in the hallway, the quiet creak of floors you know by heart. Just like a favorite song, home has the power to ground us, lift us, and carry us through the noise of the world.

As you wander through San Francisco’s neighborhoods — open house flyers in one hand, coffee in the other — this playlist is here to soundtrack your search. It’s a little bit rock, a little bit soul, a little bit indie magic. From road trip classics to tender ballads, each song is a reminder: sometimes the journey leads you exactly where you were meant to be.

So press play, take a deep breath, and let the music guide you — homeward bound.
