Story Behind the Song
This song was written by Johnna while Steve was in Tuva, Southern Siberia with Huun-Huur-Tu, studying Khoomei, or Tuvan Throat-Singing.
You can hear 2 styles of Throat-Singing on this cut: Kargyraa (very low) and Sygyt (high, like flute and drone).
Lyrics
The humming of the freeway echoes in the street.
And the banging in the train yard;
I can feel it in my feet.
And I hope you’re coming home soon
In the dawning of my new day
your twilight sun goes down.
Here I am in the big city, you’re in that little town
And I hope you’re coming home soon
The trolley bus goes by; I’m part of the scenery.
The city buzzes all around,
I’m weaving through the maze.
And I hope you’re coming home soon
And you are so far; still we see the same stars
And you are so far; still we see the same stars
The temperature’s not falling ,
I’m having trouble with the heat.
The wind blows across Siberia
and the people that you meet.
And I hope your coming home soon,
And I hope your coming home soon,
And I hope your coming home soon,
Come on home.
