Gareth created this song for his daughter Elise Emery (therefore the name of the song). It is the closing track of his 2020 Album THE LASERS. Gareth planned on making the song go big with a decent budget, big crew booked and then the Coronavirus pandemic occurred.
[Verse 1]
The California sun
Has never felt so cold before
With you not waiting for me at the door
Six thousand miles away
Just keep holding on tight, and I'll fly through the night
To come home
[Verse 2]
I remember
The day that you were born like yesterday
Told you I'd be there for you, come what may
And I failed
But if I make this plane when I land I’ll explain
So hold on
[Pre-Refrain]
You are so much stronger than you know
LAX and it's my time to go
Sending one last video from my phone
[Refrain]
Just let me get back home tonight
And we'll all be alright for forever
Just let me get back home tonight
And we'll all be alright for forever
[Outro]
Just let me get back home tonight
And we'll all be alright for forever
Elise was written by Anthony Galatis.
