    you've now done covers of two "home" songs (bring him home and it's coming home) but we're still waiting on your own "home" song like you joked about a few years ago (i think you said something along the lines of every new artist has a song called "human" and next you'll need a song called "home" iirc)

    Lyrics:
    God on high
    Hear my prayer
    In my need
    You have always been there
    He is young
    He's afraid
    Let him rest
    Heaven blessed.
    Bring him home
    Bring him home
    Bring him home.
    He's like the son I might have known
    If God had granted me a son.
    The summers die
    One by one
    How soon they fly
    On and on
    And I am old
    And will be gone.
    Bring him peace
    Bring him joy
    He is young
    He is only a boy
    You can take
    You can give
    Let him be
    Let him live
    If I die, let me die
    Let him live
    Bring him home
    Bring him home
    Bring him home.

    i don't know how to explain it (and i'm well aware this video is well over a year old now) but to me this cover feels like taking in a breath of cold, bone-chilling, fresh air. it feels like my whole life wrapped into a song. i know the actual stage version of this song is a bit different, and i'm certain i'd interpret it much differently, but this specific version hits me in a very specific way. i can't really explain it. but the way it builds and builds feels like the cold inhale and then the song itself seems to exhale along with me. and the "and if i die, let me die." bit is the moment that takes over my entire body with chills and tears. thank you very much for this cover, dodie.
