Over the past few weeks I've posted several songs from a project I did with my kids a few years back (prodigal)...this song is the climax of that story project...the prodigal son is finally home and his father accepts him there without condemnation or reservation...it is the expression of the joy that the prodigal feels at that time...I promise this is my final post from that project (maybe?)...Dan

FYI: This is my favorite project ever because my kids helped out...they both live +250 miles away and it was a sacrifice for them to do this...neither one of them are into the style of stuff I write (not thematically but stylistically) but their talents brought it home (no pun intended)...they did it for "dear old dad"...you got to love them for that (or at least I do)...and I do with all my heart.

Hi, Dan.

Strong vocal, sung with conviction. Good lyric and arrangement - does everything it needs to do, feels like closure.

Good work! laugh

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

Hi Dan,
Excellent vocals and outstanding harmonies.
The lyrics are a spot on take of the prodigal theme.
I think it's great that your children helped out. And for what it's worth, I believe that is one of the elements that made your harmonies sound so sweet (the fact that it was your own flesh and blood singing with you)
Thanks for posting, I enjoyed the listen!

David, Justin and Bawb...thanks guys for your comments...Bawb, I agree 100%,there's no harmony like family harmony (in every sense of the word).
