Coming Home
Music for piano & strings from the debut album of Michael Wall
"Coming Home" is a quest to discover myself again, to rekindle the creative fire that burns within all of us but too often gets extinguished or burns out. It is me returning to my roots and becoming the man I have always been. I'm coming home.
