In September, volunteer Lindsey Reis and CMC Volunteer Coordinator Brianna Schwenk performed a special rendition of “Feels Like Home” (originally by Randy Newman) at the 16th Annual Catherine’s Tea.

Brianna wrote special lyrics and accompanied Lindsey’s beautiful vocals at the event. After the performance, there was barely a dry eye in the place. In fact, we enjoyed the performance so much that we asked Brianna and Lindsey to record the song for us. William Niemi of Euphonic Studio graciously agreed to provide studio time and post-recording services to make this request a reality.

Lindsey works at Mercy Medical Center and came down in the middle of her work day to perform for guests of the Tea in the Hallagan Education Center.

“I felt extremely honored to be asked to do such a meaningful thing for others. I had an amazing time recording and hearing the final product. [I am] so blessed to be able to share my voice with others. [I] couldn’t have asked for a better group of people to work with. I would do it again in a heartbeat.” ~Lindsey Reis

We want to thank Lindsey, Brianna and William for their tremendous contribution. And, now, without further ado…click to listen to Feels Like Home.

“Feels Like Home”

There’s somethin’ in this place, makes me feel like it’s all right
Makes me feel like it’s all right.  I am strong.

There’s somethin’ in your voice, that gives hope and strength.
That gives me courage, to carry on.
If you knew how lonely my life has been
And how long I’ve been so alone
And if you knew how I wanted someone to come along
And help me change my life the way you’ve done

It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me
It feels like I’m now the person I want to be.
It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me
It feels like I’m finally right where I belong

A window breaks, down a long, dark street
And a siren wails in the night
But I’m alright, ’cause I am stronger now,
And I know somehow, through the dark there is light

Well, if you knew how much this new start means to me
And how long I’ve waited to feel inspired.
And if you knew how empowered I now feel
I now know that I can transform.
It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me
It feels like I’ve learned to stand on my two feet.
It feels like home to me, it feels like home to me
It feels like I’m finally right where I belong
It feels like I’m finally right where I belong
