Candlebox is a rock band from Seattle, Washington. Formed in December 1991, they originally named the band Uncle Duke and later changed it as a tribute to a song by Midnight Oil. They were sometimes looked down upon by grunge fans for their style, which was considered by many to be a derivative version of true grunge, and their commercial success as result of it. Despite this, the band played the Seattle club circuit during the early 1990s to the many of the same fans who had supported many of the bands that had come immediately before them. The members did not consider Candlebox to be a grunge band however; they viewed themselves as a rock and roll band more than anything and their style reflected that.

He Calls Home Lyrics
Candlebox
I see him everyday
In that blanket that he calls home
I wonder does he know
That his family theyre left alone
He says brother can you spare
Can you spare a dime
See Im down to my last dollar
And this life of mine
Said this life of mine
It gets rough at times
And I wonder does he know
Does he even care
That his familys safe at home and they wonder where
As he wanders through his life ever searchin for
A warm blanket on warm fields and he wanders on
And I wonder is he safe from the cold
Well I see he left the other day
Took his blanket that he called home
I wonder did he go for good
Or did he pass away
Well I wonder does he know
Now Im down to my last dollar
And this life of mine
It gets rough at times
It gets rough at times
And I wonder does he know
Does he even care
That times
It gets rough at times
And I wonder does he know
Does he even care
That my familys safe at home
And I wonder where
As I wander through my life
Ever searchin for
My warm blanket on fields as I wander on
And I wonder
Will I always be helped along I said i
Ill never know
Because i
Ill never go and yes, i
I wonder why
Because i
Ill never go home
Ill never come home
Oh wont you let me come home
