about

"When We All Come Home" tells the story of a beautiful home that served so many, only to be ripped and torn apart by a storm. The song was inspired by Ben's great aunt and uncle's house, that was destroyed by Hurricane Sandy.

This song features the multitalented Andy Demos on drums and sax and Chloe Demos on backing vocals. The rest of the band includes Cory Pula Bowers on bass, Kevin Sullivan on trumpet, and Gene Marshall on keys.

lyrics

Well it’s been to long since we all came along, sat around the fire and talked
No one really knows why the years fly by, so quickly there all we’ve got

Yeah the world has been trembling and shaking our souls
And it’s time that we all go home
To hear stories of old in that place we all know where time stands still

Yeah hearts will break and mistakes we’ll all make
But time can heal those wounds at the end of the road

When we all come home
When we all come home
No your not alone
When we all come home

There was something about the sky and the clouds in the summertime out by the bay
And that warm crackling fire was a sight to admire when we all came on Christmas Day


One thing you could count on through all the years
Was that feeling when you walked through the door
Where everyone smiled and laughed for a while and forgot about the world outside

Yeah life can bring us pain and no one is to blame
But if there’s one thing that we know it’s where we all can go

When we all come home
When we all come home
No your not alone
When we all come home

So many years ago I didn’t even know how much that place would mean
But when the water broke ground and brought those walls down
well it took a little part of me

Hard rains came down and ravaged the town and that house did not remain
But wherever you go it’s the people you know that really make that house a home

Yeah life has its costs
And things will be lost
But the one thing that stays true is everyone of you

When we all come home
When we all come home
No your not alone
When we all come home
