Homebody

Liner Notes

This is probably my roughest demo for this year (so far)
Just wanted to record the idea, still figuring out a lot of the nuts and bolts, but also want to move on to something else.
Any suggestions on how you think it should go (music wise) I'm all ears.

Lyrics

Homebody

[They say to write a good song
You gotta go out and live
Well I beg to differ]

I’m a homebody,
I hide behind the door when I hear somebody
And theres nobody
That can drag me to explore I let my whole body
go limp you’ll see me hug the floor
Oh don’t fight it
just let me stay at home,
ill have my own party
alone buddy

I’m afraid It’d be a chore
If you drag me to that store
I don’t really need to eat
so why don’t you just let me be

I'm afraid I’d be a bore
If you take me to the shore
I don't need to feel the breeze
Just let me stay and drink my tea

Got it all planned out
as long as my internet connection pans out
It could take another year or two
or maybe only till my bills are due
Oh woe is me,
If ever I’m forced to leave, cause

Oh my goodness this is great! These lyrics are so clever and I especially loved the chorus - such great vivid imagery, and honestly we never answer the door unless we know who it is, and sometimes not them! I like the rhythmic low percussive strum, the spoken word intro, and your passionate vocals. This was a really fun song but also a relatable song - not everyone feels like this all the time, but most of us feel like this at least some of the time.
