What Home Feels Like
J.W.Pepper Editor's Choice Arrangement!
This 2019 hit by the Grammy award-winning band "The Afters" perfectly captures the joyful, jubilant feeling of realizing your place in the world. It opens with a loud unison tribal call of belonging, and immediately comes back down in intensity to start the gradual drive to your show's final climactic moment -- the declaration of "there is no place I'd rather be!" It features a lengthy dance break and an alto soloist to set up the final chorus.
Instrumentation: Piano/Synth/Guitar/Bass/Drums/Percussion/2 Tpt/1 Tbn/Bass Trombone/Alto, Tenor, & Baritone Sax

I feel it in the air tonight There's something magical The feeling when the sparks ignite It's waking up my soul And it's hard for a star to fly so far When it belongs right in your arms But no matter how far I will go There is one thing I know for sure There is no place I'd rather be There is no place I'd rather be For the first time in my life I know what home feels like, whoa This is what home feels like, whoa This is what home feels like I've been running through the clouds of white I've been on the bluest ocean skies I've been way up to the highest height I've held the keys to paradise But there is no place I'd rather be There is no place I'd rather be For the first time in my life I know what home feels like, whoa This is what home feels like, whoa This is what home feels like Never, no I never wanna leave Never, there's no place I'd rather be Never, 'cause I've found where I belong There is no place I'd rather be! (The Afters)
