about

'Call Home' is about the inner turmoil of wanting to achieve your aspirations but your emotions and mind not letting you. The track is stripped back to reveal pure vulnerability and fear of not achieving. It explores the struggle of wanting to reach out to the ones you love but the mass anxieties of feeling a failure stops you. It is a song that is cross generational not just unpicking a millennial's mind. The sparse production heightens the intimacy and loneliness felt in the song. 'Call Home' is a track that seems more relatable now than ever.

lyrics

Verse 1

I’ve been foolish but damned if I’m blind
Saw a window, gotta at least try
Here its cold out, am I doomed to fail
Or with age will ambition run stale?

Pre-Chorus

It tears me up to cover up how I feel
Behind it all, behind the door
The truth kicks in
I’m lonely
No one must know
That I’m lonely
Giving in slowly

Chorus

Well I can’t place the why
Maybe I should call home
Maybe I should call home
Maybe I should call home
Call home

Verse 2

Travelled to the city lights, thought I was moving forward
Working overtime, singing in bar corners
And I crave for more but don’t know where to start
And counting on love has never got me far.

Pre-Chorus

It tears me up to cover up how I feel
Behind it all, behind the door
The truth kicks in
I’m lonely
No one must know
That I’m lonely
Giving in slowly

Chorus

Well I can’t place the why
Maybe I should call home
Maybe I should call home
Maybe I should call home

Middle Eight

Let me fall down
Let me fall down
Let me fall down (I need to know that)
Let me fall down (give me my hope back)

Chorus

I can’t place the why
Maybe I should call home
Maybe I should call home
Maybe I should call home

Outro

Oh I’m lonely
Oh I’m lonely
Look at me
I should call home
Call home
