about
Straight outta Darwin, queer artist Alice Cotton reveals ‘Coming Home’ produced by Nick Huggins, a sprawling country song delivered with heart. “I wrote this song for my childhood dog Crumpet, who went missing one wet season and reappeared 14months later looking very round and confused. It’s fair enough that she wanted a gap year from the Cottons"
lyrics
My old girl left us, ooh
Met everyone who shared her a smile
Now she’s gone
Not yet on moonlit skies
I’m losing you, ooh
I’ve lost you so many times
Come back home
Not yet for moonlit skies
Coming home
Coming home, yeah
I’ve moved through times
I’ve moved through hard times
Seen another life
Never wanted you to go
Now she’s back
My baby’s coming back home
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes I need you so
Sometimes I let you go
In a quiet place outside
I let you go
Coming home
Coming home, yeah
Coming home
Coming home, yeah

With thanks to Mel Hansen for her help in writing and arranging the harmonies.
I would like to pay my respects to the elders of the Larrakia people, the rightful custodians of the land on which I live and write. Sovereignty was never ceded.
Infectious and off-kilter music from the tropical North.
