‘Come Back Home’ is a deeply passionate and plaintive piece of indie pop. Anchored in a piano arrangement that reverberates a morose sense of melancholy, the song is about a close friend who seems to be veering towards a dark path. The titular lyrics therefore become a signal or call for this companion to return to where they should be. It also represents a shift in song writing for Welsh Avenue, choosing this time to adopt a much more restrained approach with his production. Rather than fixating on his Ableton, Welsh Avenue chose to write ‘Come Back Home’ while working upright on his piano. It’s a poetic and traditional track in many ways, making it all the more hard hitting in substance.
Plaintive and poetic lyricism coupled with deeply emotive arrangements grounded in traditional instrumentation alongside universally relatable themes makes ‘Come Back Home’ a welcome changeup from Welsh Avenue.
