about

All the "Home Sessions (Raw Singles)" series of recordings follow the parameters of making live music. Each song is performed and recorded live, in one take. Sometimes other musicians join in on the song, sometimes Daniel plays and sings alone. Either way, there is only a single track, no doubling up, no layering.

For September I kept debating on whether I should record an older song that's never been heard, or go with a new song that I was currently writing. I decided to go with the new song. This song has several different versions, but this is the one I thought I'd go with for now, even though it's very raw. This is a song about immigration, which has been in the news a lot these days.

lyrics

Are you my enemy are you friend to me
A desert or the promised land
Is it my destiny to be in misery
Or will you show me the way

It’s time to pray for my deliverance
Will I make it in the end
One of God’s creatures trying to start again

I didn’t think I’d ever see the place you’re taking me
A place where appetites never die
And in a twisted way maybe I was meant to stay
I the place where it all begins

It’s time to pray for my deliverance
Will I make it in the end
One of God’s creatures trying to start again

And if I walk away live to see another day
Would you believe me if I told you
I used to be a man, used to have some land
Now I’m a number to you

It’s time to pray for my deliverance
Will I make it in the end
One of God’s creatures trying to start again
