I'm home - Andy Dursley

[funkyaxe]

A first rough version of a tune i'm working on. Much to add but this is a first live version until I can work out some harmonies in the chorus and additional guitar and piano.


I close the door
turn the key, I'm home

Get the lights dimmed down low,
set the fire, kill the phone

Kick off my city shoes
and pour a glass of red

the mellow tick of the old clock
 draws me to my bed

chorus
I'm home.......
Basking in my solitude
I'm home.......
My perfect tranquil quietude

The chaos outside disappears
The walls are guardians of my fears
for sure

Wrapped up in my special place
I'm not a rat in the race
anymore

Rub my weary, dusty eyes
My body crying out for
rest

Home is where the heart is so they say
No truer word than that today
Home's the best

[StephenM]

incredible playing, lyrics are super and the vocals just right... a big winner Andy

[Farrell Jackson]

An excellent song Andy. I like the words and your vocal sounds great! I look forward to hearing it when you take it further.

[Johnbee]

I like the partially muted sound on your guitar.  It adds to the warmth of the atmosphere of the song.  Great relaxing and laid back.

Beautiful song, Andy.

Brilliant Andy. Hearing this my first reaction is leave it as is as it's really great. Just the vocal and guitar is haunting. Super stuff. I had a similar feeling on my latest tune. I did up a version with more stuff on it but in the end I felt just the simple guitar/vocal version was better!

**BUT... your vision could be entirely different and may well be even better!

Anyway very good tune.

Thanks for listening Mike. Yes, i heard your song and agree that sometimes the raw, first version can be so much better. I'm still going to have a go at expanding this tune but time will tell if it is better than the bare bones version to my ears.
