Yesterday I finally realize what this song is really about. It's a tribute to their friends who died and "found another home"
AI Overview
"You found another home, I know you're not alone on the nightshift" is a key, comforting lyric from The Commodores' 1985 hit "Nightshift". Written as a tribute to late soul legends Marvin Gaye and Jackie Wilson, the song suggests they have found a new place in heaven or a better "home" while still being remembered through their music.
