Headed Home

A song inspired by the time my high school baseball coach instructed me repeatedly to hit the opposing batter in the head.

I really adore those harmonies. The chorus is so melancholy. This is super nice.

Oh, this is wonderful. Seems like really classic ORthey, which seems like a funny thing to say. I was expecting a joke song from the description, but this really worked. Can you post the lyrics? That melancholy is hard to beat.

This is really great. For me, it resonates with the moments as a kid that I felt bewildered by team sports, never understanding what the big fuss was about.

Wow. That hoooooooooooooooooome at 2:13 is fantastic. Your voice sounds great belting out like that. And I agree with umbú, it is very evocative of a child feeling out-of-place.
