Emmy and Grammy-Nominated Composer Peg Luke Releases 'I Am Home, Lord'
Emmy and Grammy-nominated composer Peg Luke has released her latest single, “I Am Home, Lord,” which is a powerful testament to her inspirational drive and resilience. Introducing the remarkable vocal talents of the singer-songwriter, the song, produced by Neal Merrick is accompanied by a clarinet and a string ensemble providing the musical backdrop with piano, drums, and bass.
"I Am Home, Lord" serves as a tribute to the refugees and is dedicated to service members who work tirelessly to safeguard freedom on a worldwide level. The song's main purpose is to honor the unwavering efforts of these individuals who strive to protect the liberties of others. By expressing that a person can find a sense of comfort and belonging as long as they have faith in God, the singer-songwriter seeks to convey the message that one's physical location is not the sole determinant of feeling at home.
The lyrics are written in response to the tragic events occurring in the world, and they go as follows: “War is all around me, I don't know what to do, People killing people, Where is the truth? But I just keep travel'n, I'm tired and cold, Where can I find love and security... Then I remember. I am home, Lord I am home. When I call Your name, I am home. When I feel your presence near me, I am home. When I kneel to pray, I am home. Lead me home.”
Despite being diagnosed with a life-altering autoimmune disease three years ago, Peg’s music continues to grace theaters and music halls worldwide, from sold-out concerts at Carnegie Hall in NYC to London's Cadogan Hall. Her unique perspective on the healing properties of music brings a fresh and optimistic outlook in these challenging times.
What Peg Luke loves most about creating and performing music is the ability to relay her message to others in a manner beyond the capacity of mere words. Peg’s creative essence is expressed throughout many mediums and captures an ambient, captivating authenticity. Her musical style takes on a fresh classical vibe that is spiritually driven and created for you, the listener. Luke lives her life guided by her faith and a belief that life is beautiful.
Peg’s spiritual and musical journey continues as she eagerly anticipates the launch of an upcoming 2023 Christmas project, which is close to her heart. Peg always hopes to transcend a beautiful melody and message that sinks right into the listener’s soul, leaving a positive, life-affirming impact.
