BAYWUD “Home” shows us another intimate, more personal side of BAYWUD. The EP includes three songs; ‘Calling’, ‘Damn You’, and ‘Home’ and has one common theme throughout, which is this idea of feeling lost and broken, all the while searching for your way back home.

The first song, “Calling” is a piano heavy tune that offers beautiful lyrical imagery painting pictures of; ‘a page filled with secret letters’, ‘a child chasing their own shadow’, and ‘viewing life through broken windows’. The song is about being in a dark place, not knowing where to go or what to do, but hearing that voice in your head that’s tirelessly trying to help you find your way back to the good place.

The second track “Damn You” was inspired by the artist’s past struggles with depression and drug addiction. It’s BAYWUD’s letter to the enemy. He explains that “it was one of the most difficult songs to write and record. I had to go back to such a dark place, a place that I had worked very hard to forget. I broke down a few times during the writing/recording process, but ultimately it was very liberating for me.” The song starts with acoustic guitar for the first half of the song, introducing beautifully incorporated cellos, played by Ro Rowan from the second verse through to the end.

The EP closes with “Home”, a song written for a friend, who lost her mom during the pandemic. It brought up the idea of home, something we all search for and need in our life; a place to feel at home, a place where love thrives, a place where all the worries seem to fade away.
