Background

Don't Leave Home deals with drug addition. Dido cries for someone not to leave home and to ask for her help.

Well, the lyrics might be a little ambigous, I don't know if it's deliberate or not, but sentences like "When I've been here for just one day // You'll already miss me if I go away" "And I arrived when you were weak // I'll make you weaker,like a child" sound as if the drugs were speaking to the addict, asking him not to seek help to fight his addiction. So it may mean the exact opposite of what the article states (=> the drug cries for someone not to leave "her" [the drug] and that he doesn't need "other friends" [outside help]) :) --Adolar von Csobánka (Talk) 00:46, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

(And as I don't want to commit the sin of "original research" I also cite an anonymous "editorial review" from Amazon.ca: "The Song is an Anti Drug Song from the Unusual Point of View of the Drug Itself." http://www.amazon.ca/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0001U0ITC/702-8676047-7352820)

Fair use rationale for Image:Didohome.jpg

Image:Didohome.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
