Dear Boy | Like other tracks, i got hooked on being simple and repetitive to represent a meaning to a high extent. This song is more of a message to never stop trying to find a "Home." And yes, I do use that word/concept a lot.....because i like it.
Mostly, i wrote this song because i had an idea of a music video that i will hopefully produce one day. Someday you will get what i mean. (Hopefully soon) There was a huge inclination to sing and use the phrase "Dear Boy" because a friend and I wrote letters through text at one point in time. It was awesome because every one of the "Tetters" (Text-Letters) were unique. Some short to some long, but all important. (Names will not be disclosed)
This track was what I needed. I needed something that was so simple that I can simply play throughout the day, even when I don't feel like it. I hope you do the same.
I hope you enjoy. (I really do) :D

-Lyrics-
Verse 1 |
I was given hope
I was given trust
But I let it go
I stopped in my tracks cause i know that i'm alone
Oh.....oh
Pre-Chorus |
Well before you go I must say
That you're home is not a home from far away
That you cannot be all alone
Oh dear boy, come home
Chorus |
Singing
Come on Dear Boy
