Stunning vocals and a simple piano accompaniment stop you in your tracks – Josh Joel embraces the realm of Christian songwriting, with the heartfelt and beautifully passionate live performance of Home.
Capturing affection from the outset for the simplicity and talent of the delivery, Home presents an intimate, acoustic and breathy delivery from Josh Joel, before expanding and evolving into a notably more full-band Gospel track as things roll along.
The feeling is that of a live church performance, a choir-like crowd of voices and a natural reverb all elevating the faithful dedication of the singing and indeed these lyrics.
Home reflects upon the unshakable guidance of Christian faith, remarking that there’s always a light and embrace leading the way back home, regardless of how difficult things may get. The song is simple in structure but that approach works perfectly in connecting with listeners far and wide – an easy melody, a catchy resolve that loops and loops, and a heightened emotional presence that naturally draws you in.
Meanwhile the music gathers equal momentum – the drums, keys, guitars, bass, and vocals all united in this spiralling crescendo of praise and performance. It’s a sensational arrangement, all the more impressive and engaging for the fact that this is a live performance – not edited, not faked nor over produced. Josh Joel has captured a heartfelt moment of togetherness and shared sentiment, and Home speaks volumes on behalf of his ability and devotion to the cause.
