Home by Aaron Smith

When I released my last album, Sand in the Hourglass, I was surprised how many people liked the song, "The Stars Were Mine," which was about my childhood in the 1980s. Since then, I've explored those memories more. The 4 songs on this EP are about my childhood and teenage years. Subjects include how I used my imagination as a defense against bullying, a neighborhood scare about a stranger with bad intentions, my relationship with my grandfather, and a message from my adult self to my younger self about courage (or lack thereof!). This is a very personal collection of songs, which is one reason I chose to use mostly acoustic guitar. I hope you enjoy it!

At the age of 39, Aaron Smith took his old guitar out of the closet after 15 years, turned the skills he'd learned as a novelist toward lyric writing, learned to sing, and wrote and recorded his first EP, "Red Wolf Mist" over the course of the years 2016 to 2019. His second album, "Sand in the Hourglass" was released in August of 2021.
