Come Home from Hopefuls by The Harriets

Here's something you didn't know...

An old song of Dan's that we recycled and polished up when we needed a final track for the album. We'd actually made a demo together back in 2015 but Dan rewrote some of the lyrics, substituted some more choice chords and, for the arrangement, wanted a Monkees/Wrecking Crew/Phil Spector '60s 'California Sound' thing going on, where you've got a fun, slightly twee love song with a big epic arrangement. We sat down and worked out all the string and horn arrangements together at the keyboard, taking inspiration from arrangements on Neil Diamond and Righteous Brothers records.

Lyrics

Lyrics:
I’m looking up at the moon tonight
You’re working away and my god it’s been a long day
You call to say you’re looking up
When I answer the phone
So I’ve decided to tell you
to admit it to myself
I can’t get to sleep tonight without you

I woke up today
And you’d gone away
Now you’re all I seem to think about
Won’t you, come on home
Won’t you, come on home

We know we’ll be together tonight
Later today when the sun’s gone away
It wouldn’t seem that much to some
Just to be together at home
And I know that you have to go to work
Like I do too
But when you’re gone all I think about is you

I woke up today
And you’d gone away
Now all I seem to think about is you
Won’t you, come on home
Won’t you, come on home
