Maybe I should've asked to be homies with every man I encountered from 2017-2022. I'd go even further and say, maybe I shouldn't have allowed the men who wanted to pursue me, pursue me. Of course, I only pursed the ones I wanted to purse as well, but you know what I mean! None of my relationships started off at the homie stage and honestly, they didn't even deserve that much anyways.

Homies by Saint Harison ft Tiana Major9 reminds me of the kind of song I needed during undergrad of college at SCAD in Savannah, GA. The kind of song I would’ve wanted in undergrad after having some sort of situationship with a peer or another college student from another school. A late night walk on Broughton or River street or a drive in Savannah, over the lit bridge that divides GA and SC. I imagine myself making my way to South Carolina because the late night drive turned into something else. A spiral of thoughts for things that would mean nothing to me as the years progressed. A raspy voice and fingers tapping against a studded steering wheel cover. What was my destination? Nowhere. The bridge would light the way, but would only take me from one thought to another before ending the night in a twin XL bed.
Homies almost makes you want to cry. Not because it’s sad, but because the artist have such rich voices. The emotions can be conveyed through them. You can hear and listen to this song all at once. There is no need for a repeat, but you let it play again anyways. Saint Harrison has a voice that will suck you in instantly. This song won't leave you feeling "damned & underwhelmed" as I like to say over here at RB&Y.
Sometimes relationships are simpler when they remain the way they are. Nothing needs to be changed are altered. This song goes through the narrative of doing the exact opposite.
I discovered homies on TikTok when it first went viral but didn’t add it to my playlist until March 2023. I’d add it to my end of the year playlist for 2023 when we get to that point, to be honest. When I first heard the song (3:54 worth of gold) Tiana's verse was not in the snippet. Sometimes, features are just features I can personally do with out, but Saint and Tiana have vocals and looks that blend together beautifully.
Honestly, Saint Harrison has such a beautiful voice. It’s one you can’t forget. It's pretty "damn" good. What do you think of homies? Is it a song you'd add to your playlist or am I just being dramatic? Let me know!
