Sneak Preview - You Are Home

Part two of the sneak preview series, Maila talks about the track "You are Home".

"You are home" reminds me of the beginnings of a relationship... that initial puppy love feeling when first meeting a significant other. Was that the direction you were going for?
�
Maila:� It's kind of funny...I wrote half of the song at the end of a relationship and the other half at the beginning of another relationship.� I was going through a break up with someone I had been with for a long time and I hated the thought of leaving him.� I thought of how comfortable I was with him and how it felt like home.� The song sat on the shelf for a while, incomplete.� Then, I fell in love again, and yes, you're right, the inspiration for the rest of the song came from that puppy love feeling.� I was indeed going for a light hearted, fun loving direction.� I also really liked Faith Hill's song "The Way You Love Me" which kind of runs along the same line.

That bridge section is amazing! The backing vocals against the lead sound great. Was that hard to come up with?
�
Maila:� The bridge WAS hard to come up with, that's why Ben wrote it!� I�call on Ben whenever I need a bridge section because he's a master of writing bridges.� He's so good at taking a song in another direction.� His command of chord changes and creativity is so unreal.��However, we came up with the lyrics together.
