Kursk Oratorium

Unisons

(Updated on 10/14/24) This song is one of my first real featured-artist collaborations for me as a producer. My talented and wonderful daughter sang the lead vocal and helped me co-write the melody to better fit her performance style. As a producer, I like to include the vocalist's input to better serve the performance.  

We released this version of the song without any promotion.

Lyrics:
I want to live
I want to love
I want to reach for all 
That I’ve been dreaming of

I want to sing
I want dance
And lift my life above 
The sorrows of the past

What are the reasons that we live 
If not for joy
If we can make it 
Through the darkest hours
We’ve made it through the storm
But when the morning comes 
And there is light
In just a moment
It could be gone

All we have 
Is here and now
The only chance 
To make it count
I want to make 
My life count here with you
The strength that lives 
Inside my dreams
Is knowing you’ll 
Be there for me
And I am not alone
You’ll always be my home
My home

You are my love
You are my life
And I’d give anything 
Just to keep you at my side

All we have 
Is here and now
The only chance 
To make it count
I want to make 
My life count here with you
Maybe all 
The strength I'll need
Is knowing you’ll 
Be there for me

And I am not alone
I know I’m not alone
I know I’m not alone
I know I’m not alone
Where ever you are 
That will always be
My home
My home

All we have 
Is here and now
So short a time 
To make it count
I’m going to make 
My life count here with you
The best that I will ever be
Is all ‘cause you’ll be there for me
And I am not alone
You’ll always be my home
My home
You’ll always be 
My home

My Home

My Home ft. Lindsey Kay Scott

A powerful orchestration, inspired by the horrors of the Holocaust. I was fortunate enough to meet an incredible lady a number of years ago by the name of Kitty Hart. Kitty survived the Holocaust and went on to write and educate on the subject. A truly remarkable lady. A trip to Auchswitz earlier this year pushed me to write this track.
