Wherever I Go

The Utah folk band "The National Parks" have gained national attention over the last 10 years with their soulful 'indie-pop' songs like this 2015 hit. This chart features a baritone/alto duet for the first section (with a single soloist option found in the SSA score), and full choir for the rest of the ballad. The universal lyrics are about finding home in every destination along your travels, perfect for a graduation ceremony or 'journey' show. A wide variety of vocal textures keeps the arrangement musically interesting throughout, without getting too complex for the genre.

Instrumentation: Piano/Synth/Guitar/Bass/Drums/Percussion/Tpt/Tbn/Alto, Tenor, Bari Sax

There was something in the air
The night that I left town
The stars were bright and the world was spinning 'round
There was something in the distance
That kept leading me on
To a brand new world, to a great beyond

As the river flows and the city glows
I'll be following the open road
'Cause wherever I go I know I'm going home
Wherever I go I know I'm going home
Ooh, I will never be alone
'Cause wherever I go, I'm home

And the world was seeming smaller
And the wind was at my back
But no matter where I went I noticed that
When everything is different
Some things never change
It's the light in the eyes and the love that stays the same

As the river flows and the city glows
I'll be following the open road
'Cause wherever I go I know I'm going home
Wherever I go I know I'm going home

I'm going home
On this open road
Wherever I go, I am going home
And now I know I will never be alone
'Cause wherever I go, I'm goin' home
Wherever I go, I'm home
