Already Home (Demo)

Sometimes when I set my iPhone to shuffle, old songwriting demos come up. Usually I skip them–but when this one came up during my morning drive, I was compelled to listen.

Musicians often relate touring to going to war: the squalid living conditions, the long absence from loved ones, the constant homesickness. This sketch of a song attempts to capture that idea. I recorded it on July 27, 2010, shortly before embarking on 7k’s final tour.
