Unrealistic Expectations grew out of our day to day work at Foundations, where we support local authorities and Home Improvement Agencies to deliver Disabled Facilities Grants and home adaptations across England. Over the years we have sat at a lot of kitchen tables with families who are simply trying to make their homes safer and easier to live in, and we kept noticing how often very ordinary requests were described as “unrealistic” once they met the machinery of policy, budgets and process.
Yet when you hear the stories up close, those expectations rarely feel unreasonable. People are not asking for anything extravagant. They want to wash without fear of falling, get upstairs without pain, cook a meal safely, or move around their own home without feeling trapped or dependent on someone else. They are asking for dignity and independence, and for a home that works with them rather than against them.
The song is our attempt to capture that quiet tension between what makes sense on a spreadsheet and what makes sense in someone’s real life. It reflects the emotional side of housing that does not always show up in forms and specifications, the anxiety of waiting, the small wins when something finally works, and the simple truth that feeling safe at home changes everything.
At heart, this is not really a song about grants or services at all. It is about people, and about the idea that most “unrealistic expectations” are simply needs that have not been properly heard yet. We hope it offers a gentle reminder, whether you work in housing, health, social care or none of the above, that everyone deserves a home where everyday life feels possible.
