Legendary Australian adman Neil Lawrence was a long-time fan of the American singer-songwriter Randy Newman. One of his most treasured possessions: an autographed copy of
Little Criminals, the 1977 LP that included the cheeky single
Short People.

Feels Like Home was a no-brainer when, in 2014, ideas for a new Qantas marketing campaign were percolating in Lawrenceâs head.

The song had been written for Bonnie Raitt to sing in Newmanâs 1995 musical
Faust. Fifty-odd performers have recorded it since, including Linda Ronstadt, Neil Diamond and Diana Krall with Bryan Adams.
