Backstory:

Near Home was born in a small town in the heart of Ohio, where five childhood friends, who grew up on the same street, decided to turn their shared love for music into an ambitious project. The band members include Adam Thompson (lead vocals, guitar), Brian Hall (drums), Charlie Roberts (bass), Dave Parker (keyboard), and Eric Johnson (lead guitar). They each excelled in various musical fields, but it was their common longing for home, nostalgia, and shared life experiences that truly resonated in their music. They started playing at local venues, and as their followers grew, so did their music. Their songs are a reflection of their lives, with each member contributing to the lyrics and melodies.

Genre:
Indie Folk Rock

Song Title: “Driveway Dreams”

Full Song Lyrics:

(Verse 1)
C G Am E
Driveway dreams, of a summer’s day
F C G G
Back when time, was ours to play
C G Am E
Young hearts run, in fields of gold
F C G G
Our story, was yet to be told

(Chorus)
Am Em F C
We’re near home, under the same old sky
G C Am F
In the town that heard our first cry
Am Em F C
We’re near home, where our roots lie deep
G C Am F
In the place where our secrets sleep

(Verse 2)
C G Am E
Streetlight games, as night falls deep
F C G G
In starlit whispers, our promises we keep
C G Am E
The old oak tree, our time capsule
F C G G
Holds memories, of a time so beautiful

(Chorus)
Am Em F C
We’re near home, where dreams were spun
G C Am F
Under the same old, setting sun
Am Em F C
We’re near home, where our hearts still roam
G C Am F
Back to the place, we’ll always call home
