I made this song on 28th March 2020 on the day my son Solomon was born. He was born on the first weekend of the UK lockdown, and I had to leave him and his Mum in the hospital after only an hour. I went home and was sat on my own at home head spinning and not knowing what to do. I had a son but he wasn't here. So I made this song.
'Come Home' describes my feelings of becoming a father for the first time, and the agonizing wait for him to Come Home.
Produced, written & recorded by Dead Ott (2020)
lyrics
Lyrics:
Made this on the day you were born, came out of the eye of the storm,
March 28th the day you took form, world getting used to a new norm,
Now nothings gonna be the same, whole world is about to change,
Time for the wise to rise again, so we named you Solomon James,
Its the greatest day of my life, had a beautiful child with my beautiful wife,
Suddenly the whole world looks bright, but I'm gonna be alone tonight,
One hour with you now I'm homeward bone, had to leave you and your Mumma in the quarantine zone,
Writing words falling out of my dome, sat here waiting for you to Come Home
First time I wish my Dad was here, I wet your head with a solitary beer,
You were born in a hell of a year, but the day you came I lost my fear,
Coz I've already had all my fun, now I'm a Dad gonna get the job done,
My whole world is you and your Mum, I call you son coz you shine like one,
Now I understand that love is true, I fell in love when I first met you,
Stuck indoors with nothing to do, but no way that I could feel blue,
Coz I'm sat here on my own, just spoke to your Mum on the phone,
Really haven't got a reason to moan, all I want is for you to Come Home
So Come Home
