Home Tonight (Original)
<center><a href="https://dsound.audio/#!/@zipporah/20180628t221744678z-home-tonight-original"><img src="https://gateway.ipfs.io/ipfs/QmdEfMksQvp4ZasZhYktE4aJqTMRm3M2cdV43pSpCVqzhV" width="400px"></a></center>
<hr><p>While some songs show up and then fade, becoming less relevant as time passes – this song is an <i>evergreen</i>; I suspect the sentiments that inspired its creation will always exist within me.</p>

<p>There is a melancholy, in both the lyrics and vocal phrasing – an unabashed honesty about the lonely 'groundlessness' I was feeling at the time. As with most of my songs, it speaks to the challenges of <i>being human</i>, then ends with an uplifting bit of hopeful optimism.</p>

<p>While it wasn't written with concern for how it might be received, I've been humbled by how many people seem to personally connect with it. As a songwriter, <i>that really is the sweetest gift</i> – to know that my truth is <i>relatable</i>; that my struggle is an experience shared by many others.</p>

<p><i>May we all find our way HOME – wherever that is for each of us.</i></p>

*****

<center> <i> I know – there are no secrets in this life
no hidden meaning that I will someday find
no one's gonna come and make it all alright
I've got to find my own way home tonight </i> </center>

<center> <i>there's a bitter wind blowin'
and I'm comin' home
home tonight....home tonight </i> </center>

<center> <i> too long I've been wanderin' down this lonely road
draggin' my feet with heavy things, I would not let go
searchin' for ways to fix me, and to make me whole
but my soul's not broken, no... </i> </center>

<center> <i> it's just old...and tired of walkin' alone
but I'm alright. I'll make it home
home tonight...home tonight </i> </center>

<center> <i> so I open the window and stretch my arms wide
I'm ready to leave it all behind
like a little sparrow, unfolding for flight
I trust these little wings to carry me, oh so high </i> </center>

<center> <i> fly – little bird, fly
all the way home
home tonight...home tonight </i> </center>

<center> <i> I'm comin' home tonight
home tonight </i> </center>

Hi! Finally catching up with my PYPT reading (and listening) and ... just... wow. This song is so incredibly moving- it seems to speak directly to some primal part of me... it's like you've tapped into a universal experience which feels like we all carry inside us. 

Your voice is beautiful - you are truly talented, and I'm so glad to meet you on here. Really looking forward to reading and listening to more of your work. E x

<div class="text-justify">Although I know that each of us experience melancholy and sadness sometimes as part of human condition, it slightly surprises me when you speak of such. Your attitude is always so upbeat and positive that it is difficult to remember that you, too, our Angel of Light, are also tethered to a human body, for now. In your unique way, you are able to express those emotions so beautifully, so articulately. Kudos and hugs to you. 💖</div><p>

Dearest KittyGirl – you are so very kind to me. I hope you know how much I appreciate your presence. However *virtual* our connection; it means a lot to me. 

And, yes...it's true; my points of light are very well matched with their equivalent, shadowy opposites. It is the contrast between that makes life interesting and keeps me forever on my toes. *Except for right now, maybe – not so much on these broken toesies!* LOL!

I believe it's a resonance thing, Zippy - 'sisterly love-at-first-sight', which is probably a rarer phenomenon for me than it is for you, I suspect (more usually it's non-humans for me!) :o) I have just tried to look you up on Discord, but it says I need your #0000 - mine is @jaytaylor#9228 :o) <3
