Who is the artist for Carry Me Home? What is the history of this song?
His Name is Glen Smith. He has come to Singing Alive Costa Rica (Cantando La Vida) a few times, and shared the song there, which is how it made its way out into the larger Singing Alive world. Beyond that I don’t how or where it has travelled. This is his facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/glenn.smith.5245
wow so heartwarming to hear this song take wings and fly off in different directions! this song first came to me around 2008 and i started singing it around Santa Cruz, CA at beach bonfires and gatherings. Then I took it down to Cantando La Vida (singing alive) in Costa Rica in 2016 & 2018. I’m sure it’s similar to some old appalachian folk tunes or other old songs, so i can’t claim it’s completely original. my version is different than either of the ones on here. maybe i’ll try to upload it here. I included a couple versions of it on my “Campfire Choir” CD, some of which was recorded around the fire in Costa Rica. you can check out the CD here: http://www.soundseeds.com/store/campfire_choir_cd/
this is glenn, the song creator, with an updated link – there are 2 versions of this song on my CD “Campfire Choir” which was recorded around campfires at Cantando La Vida (singing alive costa rica) as well as circles in MA and CA. I call the song “Way Back Home” usually but the second version on here i do call “Carry Me Home” – enjoy! https://soundseeds.com/album/1372146/campfire-choir
I have since been to Singing In Love, the new Pennsylvania song gathering, 3 times, leading circles twice there. Great gathering – come out east if you can!
