Hi All, Here's something new from us called Come Back Home. The light stays low on the kitchen floor Like it’s tired of holding the day Your coffee cup’s got a crescent moon Where your lipstick used to stay The radio sings softly Some old tune about goodbye But it never says who leaves first Or who just lets it slide There’s a crack on the bedroom wall Like a river on a map We traced it once with careful hands Now we don’t do things like that You fold your sweaters for no season Stack them neat and tall Getting ready for a winter That might not come at all Come back home Even if you never left Come back home Before we both forget The screen door swings in the evening Letting in the moths and heat They throw themselves against the light To see what they can see Come back home Even if you never left Come back home Before we both forget BIAB Tracks: 2474: Bass, Acoustic, Held 2195: Piano, ElectricVintage 3059: Guitar, Acoustic, Muted 3064: Vocal Oohs, Rhythm RealDrums: CongasEv16 Other Notes: Bob Mic: Logitech Blue Yeti Bob Vocals: Logic Pro Bob Electric Guitar: Collings Ladybird Bob Guitar Amplifier: Vintone SimpleX 1x6 Joliz Mic: Audio Technica AT2020USB+ Joliz Vocals: GarageBand Waves Vocal Rider: All Vocals Pre-Production: Track Editing GarageBand & Logic Pro Izotope Nectar 3 Elements for Vocals Izotope Plasma for Instrument Tracks Processing Final Track Mix & Master: Logic Pro & Izotope Ozone 11 Video: Adobe Firefly, iMovie & Final Cut Pro As always - thanks for listening!

Andrew, really nice bit of popcraft here. Very hooky chorus. The band is quite nice as are your vibe lines. Love your lead guitar motif! Super vocals, too. Is it Motown? Sounds more like Neil Young than Marvin Gaye to my ears, but regardless the inspiration, the end result is brilliant. Well done!

Soundcloud: The last time YouTube: The last time DEVELOPMENT The initial idea for the song was in late 2025 for the first couple of lines and melody for verse 1, and I had the fortune of recording it in a voice memo on my iPad before it disappeared from mind. The rest of the lyrics follow the same quirky style as verse 1, except that the final verse becomes more serious, and the chorus is a mixture of random ideas and a serious line - there might be a subsonscious connection there, but I'm unaware. I normally write the music first and completion of lyrics comes in last. I only played lead guitar on this song, but sung all vocals. The addition of the vibes from verse 2 onwards was aimed at mimicking the Motown sound. BIAB & PRODUCTION Style is _SHUDDER.STY (Shudder Soul Rock Organ) RealTracks in style: 1732:Bass, Electric, TexasBluesRockFunky Ev16 090 RealTracks in style: 4305:Organ, Rhythm SoulfulRock Ev 095 RealTracks in style: 3164:Guitar, Baritone Electric, Rhythm BluesyPopSteady8thsCleanBrent Ev 100 RealTracks in style: 2905:Guitar, Electric, Rhythm BrightBluesyPopColin Ev 100 RealDrums in style:Americana16thsSyncFred^1-a:QuarterHiHat,Snare , b:QuarterRide,Snare In song: General midi instrument 12 Vibes (step input in BIAB) Reaper v7.65 Guitar motif Main vocal doubled Octave vocal double over verses Harmony vocals x 3 over chorus Reaper JS: Non-linear saturation LYRICS (chord sheet attached) INTRO VERSE 1 The last time I combed my hair was almost fifteen years ago In that time I don’t feel I’ve gone without I used to worry what I looked like but decided not to fret Since I’ve given up hope I feel a lot better VERSE 2 The last time I rode my bike I had a fainting spell I was quite embarrassed lying in the road Now I have a regimen of breathing deep and drinking lots of water It helps if I don’t push myself too hard CHORUS Ev’ry time I try to turn around, I end up just standing there Sometimes that’s what I should do, instead of sky I’ll seek the ground Ev’ry time I aim to hold my line, I’ll end up nowhere I have to look at you, this could be the last time VERSE 3 The last time I said ‘I love you’ was yesterday But that was over twenty-four hours ago CHORUS Ev’ry time I try to turn around, I end up just standing there Sometimes that’s what I should do, instead of sky I’ll seek the ground Ev’ry time I aim to hold my line, I’ll end up nowhere I have to look at you, this could be the last time I have to say it to you, this could be the last time

Hello Mr Dee Excellent, I’m glad it’s caught you off guard, it should make for an interesting get together. Hopefully Mr DB will also be taken aback. The beauty of this is that I didn’t have to come up with any lyrics, just let the music tell the story (ish). I enjoyed looking for that descending progression at the end of the verse, it goes to a really dark place. I didn’t go looking to include an F by using the Am#5. I was just trying to maintain the C,G,D,A,E progression in the verse, whether they be major or minor or whatever, I just kept experimenting until it sounded pleasing to my ears. Looking forward to hearing yours and seeing how you’ve tackled the same challenge. Cheers Andrew. See you soon.

Hi Mario. You've done it again! Another fine musical excursion into the world of imagination. When I listen to your works, I always close my eyes and let myself get carried along by the musical imagery that your creations inspire in my mind. For this one, I was sitting beside a slowly flowing stream on a warm morning in summer letting my feet dangle in the water. For 4:31 minutes, you made me feel young again. Thanks for that --Noel

Thank you Mario Tell me, tell me, where am I going Mario?? To the very toppermost? As I’ve mentioned in another post, the magic is in the discarded attempts. But practice makes permanent, and slow and steady wins the race. Glad you liked it and the mix and band were good for you. Thank you for listening, kind regards.

Hi Scott. Thank you for taking time out to have a listen. I appreciate it. And thanks for comments, too. The world is indeed in a crazy place right now. My theory is that there are too many megalomaniacs on the loose at the moment. Hopefully, time and commonsense will prevail. Thanks again! --Noel

Thank you Blue (sorry, couldn’t find your name) Yeah, I’m pretty sure it’s Travis picking of sorts. It’s been a long time since I’ve actually looked at Travis picking, but I’m sure it’s probably that. Actually, it’s probably the pattern they use on Dust In The Wind (Kansas). I’ve noodled with that quite frequently. I'm glad you enjoyed it, thank you for listening. Kind regards.

Hi Bob, Thank you for your kind words, high praise indeed. The beauty of recording is that you don’t get to hear all the bad guitar playing that goes into it, just the good parts. My playing is good on this at the moment because I’ve played it so intensely, leave it 6 weeks and it’ll be ordinary again! Yes, the mix is minimalistic and that gives each instrument room to move and not get in the way of any other. Lots of air and space works well. Cheers Bob, kind regards.

Thank you for listen and kind words Ron. Yeah I was extremely happy with how well it all gelled together especially where the verse is descending at the end. I also liked the C to Csus2 at the verse opening, such a light and airy feeling compared to the darkness of the end of the verse. Appreciate your comments on the mix and placement, glad it’s being heard as I wanted it to be. Cheers Ron, kind regards.

As Jonathan Tetelman's journey shows, sometimes the path to success takes luck, fate, talent and unexpected twists and turns. Born in Castro, Chile, in 1988, Tetelman was adopted at approximately 6 to 7 months old by an American couple. He was raised in Princeton, New Jersey. His musical talent was discovered by a local teacher, leading him to attend the American Boychoir School in Princeton. He later trained as a baritone at the Manhattan School of Music before transitioning to a tenor at the Mannes School of Music. He also formerly worked as a nightclub DJ in New York City. In the video below, he sings "On The Street Where You Live" from "My Fair Lady".
