DOWNLOAD MP3: Tauren Wells – COME HOME (VIDEO)
Ten-time GRAMMY nominee Tauren Wells returns with a new single titled “Come Home.” Against an ominous, beat-heavy backdrop, Wells takes an unflinching look at the harm done by hypocrisy. In the gritty, soulful call-and-response chorus, he offers an alternative, envisioning home as a place of steadfast, unconditional love. The track, which was produced by Tedd T, is from Wells’ new album, Joy in the Morning, which is set for June 10 release.
In the official video for “Come Home,” a one-shot, continuous take live performance with full band, Wells roams the rooms of a beautiful yet deserted house. Performing the song with raucous urgency, he rips the coverings off the furnishings and, along with his bandmates, infuses the home with life once more. Directed by Micah Bickham (Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande) and Steven Lester (John Mayer, Needtobreathe), the video was shot in Nashville.
On May 29, Wells will co-host the KLOVE Fan Awards with Matthew West at the Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville. On August 5, he will headline the second night of KLOVE’s multi-artist concert at Colorado’s Red Rocks Amphitheatre.
Lyrics:
I know that you got wounded
It’s painful when your heart is disillusioned
And you find out all your heroes, they’re just human
And they know not what they do, what they do
The perpetrators of division
Are the casualties in the name of religion
So you think that you’d be safer from a distance
And I won’t say it’s not true
I know that you’ve seen
A sin of hypocrisy
That’s the human condition
That’s not God’s heart beat
I’m sorry
I’m sorry
So if you want to leave (leave)
If you gotta go (then go)
I’ll be right here (I’ll be here)
When you come home (When you come home)
Surrounded by confusion
You just want to know the why behind the doing
And they treat you like a question and intrusion
But God will answer you
And you can’t get no satisfaction
When you’re trying to resist divine attraction
Cause He loves you more than you ever imagined
I know you’re searching for the proof
You can bring your doubts
You can think out loud
Love will hear you out
Come home
