Homebound (song)

Homebound is a track on the album Homebound by Eth Eonel. It was written in its entirety in May 2008, and was only performed and partially improvised on May 27, 2008, as a bachelor degree concert in Music Technology. A series of prerecorded rhythmic samples were triggered during the vocal performance, and which type of sample (in degree of intensity) that was triggered was determined by the intensity of Eth's voice as he improvised the vocals. Several chunks of lyrics were written the same day as the performance, though one was derived from his lyrics for an earlier version of Breaking The Circle, and some words were collected directly from the Wikipedia entry for the word "home".

The performance, available on the album as it was, also featured the use of a Commodore 64 computer, playing a musical phrase that was programmed in BASIC.

Lyrics
Stepping out of the past a short glance at the now before she caught my eyes the rawness and honesty the uncertainty from now until forever the future is my love "When I say future, I mean the tail like I’m chasing the tail, you know? though not really chasing we’re forever locked together like the now and the future" Always hand in hand, head in heart aching for you once again Never fade, a timeline is always strong hold and never let go "One can’t really know the future though it’s always there, right in front of you you can touch it, but never really understand which is why, I guess, it’s a never-ending story never-ending" It never ends, will I ever find my way home, where I know I belong by your side, but where are you and where are we going? Always hand in hand, head in heart aching for you once again Never fade, a timeline is always strong hold and never let go Always hand in hand, head in heart aching for you once again Never fade, a time line is always strong It never ends, will I ever find my way home, where I know I belong by your side, but where are you and where are we going? Tearing through a parallel world of doubt Is this a dream or is it – reality I don’t believe in fate I don’t believe in fate Tearing through a parallel world of doubt Is this a dream or is it – reality I don’t believe in God I don’t believe in God Everyone is marching on but you don’t want to be a part you want to feel you’re special and that you did everything you wanted mapping your path by yourself believing that it’s gonna happen but you’ll be disappointed when you suddenly realise Realise it disappointed marching on by yourself Mapping your path by yourself believing that it’s gonna happen but you’ll be disappointed when you suddenly realise that everyone is marching on but you don’t want to be a part you want to feel you’re special and that you did everything you wanted mapping your path It will come to you and you will come to me and I will come in you then it will come to you and you will come to me and we’ll succumb to temptation then it will come to us a revelation Mapping your path by yourself believing that it’s gonna happen but you’ll be disappointed when you suddenly realise that everyone is marching on but you don’t want to be a part you want to feel you’re special and that you did everything you wanted mapping your path It’s not true - for us We have our - own way of talking the rawness and honesty the certainty It’s true It will come to you and you will come to me and I will come in you then it will come to you and you will come to me and we’ll succumb to temptation then it will come to us a revelation "A home is a place of residence or refuge. It is usually a place where an individual or a family can rest in and be able to store personal property. Modern households contain sanitary facilities and a means of preparing food. There are certain cultures which lack permanent homes, such as with nomadic people. While a house (or other residential dwelling) is often referred to as a "home", the concept of "home" is a much broader idea which exceeds the denotation of a physical dwelling. A home is often a place of refuge and safety, where worldly cares fade and the things and people that one loves becomes the focus" It will come to you and you will come to me and I will come in you then it will come to you and you will come to me and we’ll succumb to temptation then it will come to us a revelation "Many people think of home in terms of where they grew up, and home can even be a time rather than a place. The word "home" is also used for various residential institutions which aspire to create a home-like atmosphere, such as a retirement home, a nursing home, a group home (an orphanage for children, a retirement home for adults, a treatment facility, etc.), a foster home, etc. In computer terminology, a 'home' is a starting view that branches off into other tasks, such as a homepage or a desktop" Home is not a place – it is a time I will not reach it – later I am here – now with you with you This is my home
