Nowhere Man - “Come Back Home”
From Sweden, Nowhere Man arrives on our blog with “Come Back Home,” a song that grasps for the reassurance of nostalgia when confronted with the inevitable task of getting older.
This variety of subject matter tends to hit a listener reasonably hard, and it is one that always draws us in– especially within the realm of indie folk. Saying goodbye to ourselves as our best parts disappear into adulthood always seems to pair quite wonderfully with a chill vibe, the strums of acoustic guitar, and a lo-fi mix that bleeds vulnerability.
“Come Back Home” does not pretend to be a modern, commercially polished indie banger, but, instead, gives the listener a direct line into the raw spirit of authentic folk music. It could have been recorded with a boombox for all we care– the important thing to consider here is that this track is honest, introspective, and relatable as all hell.
Vocally, Nowhere Man appears to draw some inspiration from The Tallest Man on Earth, John Vincent III, and even some hints of Bob Dylan. Beneath the hypnotically plucked acoustic guitar lies a simple, subtle rhythm that propels the song forward, and its existence is just as fleeting as the version of ourselves that time makes us leave behind.
