I like this song as well but then there are so many Til Tuesday songs I love. If on the album “Voices Carry”, the band related tales of the failed relationship between then band member Michael Hausman and Mann—among others [I don’t feel this was the sole influence] and the album “Everything’s Different Now” portrayed the aftermath of Mann’s relationship with Jules Shear, then perhaps “Welcome Home” and this essentially title track song told of Mann and Shear when things were looking up.
The three albums recorded by Til Tuesday until the band broke up contain great songs that really didn’t find the larger audience they were deserving of in one sense but perhaps they were always little gems depicting the anguish of rocky relationships along with the fragments of love left behind—surprise gifts of song for the discerning listener.
I just love Mann’s wail “Come on home” followed by the ooh ooh ooh ooh oohs at the end of this song. The beauty of some songs is that a day, a feeling, the joy of new love—can pass but the essence of the associated emotions can be captured to be enjoyed over and over again.
