This weeks New Song Sunday is a rough recording of a song I am working on - Like a Horse to the Barn. It's a song about coming home.
I don't travel a lot any more, but when I do, I always look forward to coming home. Home is not just where my “stuff” is. It is also where I have calm and peace and where my best friend lives. Like a Horse to the Barn - I can't wait to sleep in my own bed and be surrounded by my friends and the one's I love.
Like many of my songs - this one is a work in progress. Because I write a lot of music - I find it is helpful to record a song and then work on something else for a while. Then, later - some times months later - I come back to it with a fresh ear and new prospective and make changes if necessary.
Now that I have a band I am working with regularly, I get great input that helps make the songs - both music and lyrics - better.
Keep an eye (ear) out.
