SARAH JEZEBEL DEVA has unveiled the raw and stripped down original version of her song “Daddy’s Not Coming Home”. This beautiful piano and vocal piece carries personal significance for SARAH, and having been lost for a number of years, is now available to stream and download.
SARAH JEZEBEL DEVA Comments:
“So I found the original version of ‘Daddy’s Not Coming Home’, as song I wrote when I was very young. I left home when I was 9 years old and I found my self in a place I didn’t want to be, but I know that if I wasn’t in that place, I never would have become ‘Sarah Jezebel Deva’. ‘Daddy’s Not Coming Home’ is the first song I ever wrote and the ONLY song I wrote alone with a melody in my head.
I have already told the story, but I sung the lyrics to my dear friend Suvi (THERION/MORTIIS) when I got her involved with singing on The Smell Of Rain. After we did that album for MORTIIS, I recorded ‘Daddy’ for the first time ever in her home studio. I lost the song for many years, then found it and Martin Powell (CRADLE OF FILTH / MY DYING BRIDE) re orchestrated the song for me to release on my first solo album (Which as you know, 50% absolutely dreadful).
I wrote the lyrics and melody in my bedroom when I was around 12 years old. Parts of it are about my mum and dad, but other parts are purely made up. I am proud of the song and will be forever, but I want to share the original with you.”
