I’ll Be Your Home
That same songwriting session that produced “Never Enough Time” also brought “I’ll Be Your
Home”. Before I was to meet my cowrite partner I did some social media recon. I checked out her
profiles and music in an attempt to get a head start on finding some common musical ground. One of
the things I noticed was that her partner lived in another state. I thought that was an interesting
problem. I’ve often said something along the lines of it doesn't matter where I live as long as I’m with
my wife…that’s home. So I had this whole song fleshed out the day before I met my co-writer. I
mentioned my detective work and the song I had been inspired to write. She confessed to doing the
same homework, but didn’t get a song out of it.
I have written a few songs with homes and their construction as a metaphoric device. In this
particular song home is used as a feeling, but the last line “You are my foundation, I’ll be your home”
strays into the physical concept of a home’s construction, however it is the perfect wording of how I
feel about my wife…she is my foundation.
● V/V/B/V/S/B/V. Another song where I ended on the title in a verse. Although I delivered,
what I think is, the best line in the last verses tag. I’m also happy that there’s no Chorus in
this song. I love structural things like that.
