Take Me Home (Featuring Frank Lettieri Jr​.​)

about

I’m a huge Genesis/Phil Collins/Peter Gabriel fan, and I’ve always love this song in particular. Growing up I thought the song was about literally going home, but as an adult I thought it to be more about taking someone home (love aspects). I did more research and it turns out that the song is about none of that, but I latched onto my earlier concepts and went all-in to create a visual representation to match my audio take on this iconic song. I pushed myself to use less synth on this track, and even the high-pitched droning arpeggio was played on guitar. When it came to the vocals I had originally planned to sing along side of a few friends, but due to COVID-19 and my personal inability to break from being a new parent this never materialized. So I contacted my long-time friend and band-mate Frank Lettieri Jr (the Paper Jets, Dust of Days) to lend a hand. It was a distanced collaboration, and I feel like we both captured a particular emotion with our performances.
