Story Behind The Song
A 10 year old sversion of Home in my catalog was long due for a remix. Having all the vocal stems from the singer at that time, I used the knowledge I gathered since the pandemic to remix and apply the various techniques I learned on line. This is my best mixing shot to date (20220722).
Song Description
Classically orchestrated ballad with mostly piano strings and some electro punches. Song is about Home forgiving me having so much fun far away, But roots are roots, and Back Home means it all.
Foresseeing me possibly back in France in the future, I am humbling begging a pardon to the house I grew up in, feeling like I betrayed her for so long, having found a beautiful land in Canada.

Lyrics
My heart is homeless
I got to realize
Ambition caught me, I've been blind
My quest had no rest
For my own paradise
But without you by my side
A better place I'll never find
Than Home
Oh this is where I'd rather be
Just at home
Gathering friends and family
I would give more than I own
To be back where I was grown
To finally break up
With regrets and nostalgia
Home sweet Home
A sacred flow watering my roots
Lovely Home
A thousand miles have ruined my boots
Oh should I be once forgiven
Just leave the door wide open
I will never hide your clear windows again
So you can see
As far as me
My love has never died
It seems easy to say
To go further and more I've always tried
But I had it everyday
This photograph of you
Whose colors didn't fade away
Filling a gap tainted of blue
My Home... (music)
bridge: I've seen so many places
But none where I belong
The world's most colored faces
Kept saying I was wrong
From words of old and wise monks
The wall of lamentations
To native chants and poetry
I made my way
Inside of me
I made my way
And now I go
Back Home
A sacred flow watering my roots
Lovely Home
A thousand miles have ruined my boots
Oh should I be once forgiven
Just leave the door wide open
I will never hide your clear windows again
So you can see
As far as me
