The central theme of "Where the Fields Remember Me" is the profound pull of one's roots and the healing solace of returning to a childhood homeland after years of wandering, where the vast prairie landscapes serve as an enduring, forgiving memory of the self one once was. Through the duet's interplay— the male protagonist's reflective homecoming intertwined with the female's patient vigil— the song celebrates reunion not just with place but with lost parts of the soul, mending hidden pains under "open sky" and "golden plain." Ultimately, it affirms that true home is an unchanging anchor of identity and love, patiently awaiting those who stray, as whispered in the outro: "Home never moved... It just waited. So did we."

Winnipeg composer, retired from the farm, still chasing meaning in melody. My work lives where TV cues meet YouTube soundscapes, with a few albums in between. Built in Mixcraft Pro, fuelled by late-night coffee, stubborn curiosity, and a Stoic’s sense of timing. Also writing on politics, history, and philosophy, because sound isn’t my only instrument.
