It's a passionate song telling a story of difficult plights using showing that each journey is our Temporary Home - A little boy's temporary home in foster care, a mother and child in a temporary home seeking shelter, and the last most powerful verse, a dad on his dying bed in the hospital saying goodbye to his daughter explaining that this was simply his temporary home. What's most beautiful to sing about this song is the message. Miranda Lambert received a Grammy for this song at the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards in 2011 for Best Female Country Vocal Performance for the song. By the 12th week of it's release it was Miranda's first number 1 hit on the U.S. It turned out to be the fastest rising single to date of her career. The song was released in March of 2010 on her third album, Revolution. 'The House that Built Me' was Planned for Blake Shelton to Record, Until Miranda Lambert Heard it If these words reflect your life story, then you'll enjoy putting your heart into this song. This song is about a girl all grown who goes back to her family home, now owned by another family, and asks if she could have one more look around.she says, I won't take nothin' but a memory. Of course, any song where you have a connection to the lyrics, you're automatically going to sing better. The emotion and story attached to it also makes it an easy song to connect to as well. Sounds typical of most songs but the way this song makes the key changes makes me personally feel comfortable singing it.

What I find nice about this song is the slightly lower tones in the verses and the way song peaks higher in the chorus.
