I Will Be Home Again - Elvis Presley - MP3 instrumental karaoke

"I Will Be Home Again" is a poignant ballad that became part of Elvis Presley's acclaimed album Elvis Is Back!, released in 1960. This song marked Elvis Presley's return to the music scene after his military service. Originally written by Bennie Benjamin, Raymond Leveen, and Lou Singer in 1944, it was first recorded by the Golden Gate Quartet in March 1945. However, Elvis Presley's version holds a special place in his discography. Produced by Steve Sholes and Chet Atkins, Elvis's rendition of "I Will Be Home Again" is an emotional song, reflecting the yearning and promise of reunion. Its lyrics speak of a deep longing to see those who are away but also hold a firm promise that the day of reunion will come. The song is also notable for being the first in which Elvis's army buddy, Charlie Hodge, sang harmony with him, adding a layer of rich vocal harmonies to the track. The musical arrangement is understated yet effective, featuring Elvis's powerful voice accompanied by acoustic guitar and tender piano, allowing the emotion in the lyrics to take center stage.
