Ross Flora – Home Bound: There are certain bonds in life—deep, unwavering connections—that call us back no matter how far we roam. For Ross Flora, that bond is with his dog, Sadie Mae, whose unconditional love became the inspiration for his latest single, “Home Bound”. Drawing influence from the radiant optimism of “Blue Sky” by the Allman Brothers Band, “Home Bound” is a song about finding solace, joy, and purpose in the embrace of those who ground us. “Home Bound” is more than a melody; it’s a heartfelt meditation on what it truly means to belong.

“Home Bound” has been years in the making—pieced together over time, written in the quiet moments between creative struggles, and shaped by life’s twists and turns. “It became a kind of palate cleanser when I hit roadblocks with other songs,” shares Ross Flora. “There are dozens of scattered notes and lyrics—little fragments of meaning that eventually came together; and when they did, I knew it was time to share this song with the world.”

At its core, “Home Bound” is about more than just returning home—it’s about the deep, soul-stirring pull that calls us back to the people, places, and creatures who remind us who we are. Inspired by Sadie Mae, Ross captures the feeling of walking through the door after a long journey, knowing that no matter what storms life has thrown your way, there is a warmth waiting for you—a love that never wavers.

“No matter how the day’s gone—whether it’s been exhausting, frustrating, or lonely—when I see Sadie Mae waiting for me, everything else just fades away,” says Ross Flora. “Her love is a constant, and that’s a rare and beautiful thing in this world.

“I hope this song leaves people feeling hopeful,” says Ross. “No matter how tough things get, there’s always light at the end of the road. There’s always someone waiting for you, whether it’s a friend, a family member, or a four-legged companion who sees you as their whole world.”

In the spirit of “Home Bound,” Ross Flora is partnering with Skydog Sanctuary for Horses, Philzoia Animal Rescue, Animal Wellness Foundation, and Pasadena Humane Society to raise awareness and support for animals in need of a loving home.

“I’ve been fortunate to have incredible animals in my life,” he says. “They’ve given me love and companionship beyond words, and I want to help others experience that same kind of magic.”

Before the release of “Home Bound”, Ross will take the stage at the Rise From the Ashes LA Fire Benefit Show on February 8th at Live Oak (1522 Demonbreun St, Nashville, TN). Hosted by Struggle Jennings and Brian Payne, the event will feature an incredible lineup of artists coming together to raise funds for animals affected by devastating fires. Doors open at 4 PM, with $20 admission that includes entry into a silent auction to further support relief efforts.
