about

Composed and produced by Beware of Trains and mixed by acclaimed producer Darren Allison (The Divine Comedy), “Forever Home” is a symphonic festive tale that transports us into the snow globe and whisks us away through snowy Yorkshire fields and skies, revelling in the nostalgic sense of homecoming the festive season brings. But it is also a song tinged with bittersweet melancholy, reflecting on the passing years and sadness of saying goodbye to the people and places we love and hold dear.

Composer Leighton Jones explains the origins of the track:

"Beware of Trains performed 'A Kitmas Concert' in Bradford Cathedral in 2019 to raise funds for Allerton Cat Rescue. I was inspired to write a festive song based on the rescue centre's slogan ‘Helping cats and kittens find their Furever Home for over 40 years'. It stood out as a great title to explore that sense of longing and belonging the phrase conjures, at a time of year that is difficult for many people.”

lyrics

Tell me a story
That doesn't end with goodnight
That's full of angels
And all will be forever bright
Tell me a story
You'll always be...

There in the morning
(Wake up!)
Waiting to go play outside
(It's been snowing in the night!)
In matching pyjamas
Red wellies and snowball fights
Paint me a picture
We'll always be...

Somewhere to rest our head
Somewhere a friends resting theirs
Somewhere to call our own
Somewhere to call our Forever Home

A place we can wander
A place we can grow
Into our story
One day we will tell to our own
Angels
Before they fall asleep
And dream of...

Somewhere to rest their head
Somewhere a friends resting theirs
Somewhere to call their own
Somewhere to call their Forever Home

Somewhere to rest their head
Somewhere a friends resting theirs
Somewhere to call their own
Somewhere to call their Forever Home
