https://soundcloud.com/user-564042721/come-home-to-meBecoming a dad again at a riper age has been the inspiration for a few songs lately. I loved the piano accomp. but found I couldn`t record a decent vocal without hearing a strummed guitar which I then deleted- my comfort zone is being stretched by having real musicians playing my songs! Come Home To Me V1 our chldren are the branches of tomorrow`s shade when we`ll look up into the leaves their laughter has made all my hopes are now of this for you are bound away that there`s a place in your heart where we`ll always play C1 close your eyes beneath the arms of our tree come home come home to me V2 if by rippling water in a silent place or on cold hard streets without kindness or grace you should question how love deceived you to soar just to fall broken winged alone on that shore C2 close your eyes there`s a road over that sea come home come home to me Br and if your life climbs so far from mine our sandcastles and silly games be you prince or beggar I`m your shield in any weather and I hold you still the same little boy I long to see come home come home to me rpt V1/C1 Lyrics & Music copyright Robert Cordrey 2016 Style is _PJONSAC.STY (Solo Piano Pop Ballad) RealTracks in style: 1729:Piano, Acoustic, Solo-Accompaniment PopBalladJohn Ev 110 RealTracks in song: 2369:Strings, Rhythm PopCountry Ev 120 RealTracks in song: 1856:Cello, Background PopCountry Ev 085

Robert,
Nice, sentimental song and a good sound to compliment it. The piano/cello/strings is a great combination for this. (I thought the vocal could use just a little more reverb.)

floyd Thanks for listening again, Floyd.I`m really enjoying playing with Nectar on vocals and this was a first try at a ballad- going to see how your suggestion on the reverb sounds. Robert

Hello Robert,
Definitely a nice song! I agree with Floyd that the vocal could use a little bit more verb. I'm pretty sure that Nectar has many of them ;-)

Hi Pat Thanks for the listen. The Realtracks cello blew me away when I heard it - honey but not sugary!

Rob Hello, Glad you liked the song. Nectar is a great tool to have... at the present I`m sticking close to the the presets until I understand better what it can do. Robert

Robert,
The sound of piano and cello is perfectly chosen to complement the sincerity of your performance and the heartfelt honesty of your lyrics.
You've done a great job getting this together and posting.
All the best, Noel

Hi Robert, This is a beautifully scripted song, The instruments you chose underpin it perfectly. Well sung, and for me a big lump in the throat, as the words fits in so well with a phase in my own life.

All the best, Noel Many thanks, Noel The choosing of backing instruments and production on most songs I`ve found a hard go so far but this one was simple and enjoyable. Cheers. Robert

Hi Paddy, I`m glad the song resonated for you; it took me a few takes on the vocal to keep my own throat lump in check! Robert
