    Stephen Emmer’s latest musical offering Home Ground addresses contemporary concerns within the timeless musical excellence of classic soul combined with the sonic impact of the 21st century. The Home Ground songs are vocally performed by a careful selection of musical icons from the last 5 decades. The impressive featured artists line up includes CHAKA KHAN, PATTI AUSTIN, ANDY BEY, KENDRA FOSTER, FRANK MCCOMB, MARY GRIFFIN, DWIGHT TRIBLE, URSULA RUCKER and the late LEON WARE.

    The main lyrical thrust of Home Ground is the world that is in constant conflict or war, whether over land, religion or race; this is not just black against white, it’s also poor against rich, justice against injustice, and the myriad other ongoing conflicts that beset our world.

    In an effort to help make this world a better place the Home Ground campaign will be in support of charity. Based on the lyrical content and the fact that the project is music-based, Stephen immediately thought of War Child as the perfect fit. War Child works for a better future for hundreds of thousands of children affected by war. They help them cope with their conflict-related experiences, rebuild relationships with friends and families and regain their self-confidence. A fair share of proceedings (25% on digital sales profit and 50% on physical sales profit) will be donated to War Child.

    Stephen Emmer’s latest musical offering Home Ground combines the eloquence of spiritual, orchestral soul music with socially conscious lyrics. It addresses contemporary concerns within the timeless musical excellence of classic soul combined with the sonic impact of the 21st century. The Home Ground songs are vocally performed by Chaka Khan, Patti Austin, Kendra Foster, Mary Griffin, Ursula Rucker, Andy Bey, Frank McComb, Leon Ware and Dwight Trible.

    The main lyrical thrust of Home Ground is the world that is in constant conflict or war, whether over land, religion or race; this is not just black against white, it’s also poor against rich, justice against injustice, and the myriad other ongoing conflicts that beset our world.

    In an effort to help make this world a better place the Home Ground campaign will be in support of charity. Based on the lyrical content and the fact that the project is music-based, Stephen immediately thought of War Child as the perfect fit. War Child works for a better future for hundreds of thousands of children affected by war. They help them cope with their conflict-related experiences, rebuild relationships with friends and families and regain their self-confidence.

    War Child creates safe places where they can be children again and work to build a stable and peaceful future – both for themselves and their communities. The campaign will therefore focus on creating increased awareness for the amazing work of War Child. At the same time we’ll donate a fair share of the proceeds to support them in helping ‘our’ children - the best cornerstone imaginable for a future world at peace.

    25% Of all digital music sales and 50% of physical sales will be donated to War Child to support them in helping ‘our’ children, the undeniable cornerstone of a future world in peace. Therefore feel free to pay more for the download if you like. 100% of additional income (on top of the basic price) will be donated to War Child. Your support will be highly appreciated.

lyrics

I see life as I travel through
So many points of view
Should I close my eyes to so much heartache that I see
The chains are strong now
The rights seem wrong somehow
I’m holding out for a new day, to come

Shadows fall in a new way
The seasons change
I open my mind to free all the love I feel inside
 
I’m not looking for dreams no
The things I see are real
So I move on for a new day, to come
 
The lessons we learn from life always make us
Wiser and stronger but we need more love
So look into another’s heart you will see
The same things you feel
Cos we all need love

So don’t let the feelings change
We’re all the same
Open your heart now, then you will see

You will see

Oh, you will see
 
The chains are strong now
The rights seem wrong somehow
I’m holding out for a new day to come
