“They’re Calling” March 2025 Winner

They’re Calling, my submission for the Indie Boom March 2025 Song Writing Club won best song. Pretty cool to win 2 months in a row.
The theme I picked for this one was “Awakening”. It’s a song about some one going in and out of sleep while in a coma. Ended up recording this as an acoustic song since every time I added an instrument to this it seemed to take away from it.

This is a beta version of the song that I hope to polish and release for streaming in the near future but in the meantime you can hear the track here.

Lyrics

You were there, and you were there, and you were there
In the sunsets orange glow
Wind tumbling through your hair
Ruffling your coat
I heard a sound, below the noise, a whispered voice
Said it’s time to go
I don’t have choice
That I know
Nothing comes to me

They’re calling, They’re calling
Calling me home
As I awaken from this dream
.. it's not what it seems

Caught a glimpse, I saw a face, I know it's yours
But your name I couldn't say
My thoughts like waves on the shores
They rise and fade away
I heard a sound, below the noise, that whispered voice
Someone I used to know
A memory my mind avoids
From long ago
Here to comfort me

They’re calling, They’re calling
Calling me home
As I awaken from this dream

Had I known, had I known
I never would've come back
Had I known, had I known
I would've stayed in my bed
Had I known, had I known
I never would've come back
Had I known, had I known

They’re calling, They’re calling
Calling me home
As I awaken from this dream

You were there, and you were there, and you were there
In the sunsets orange glow
