T.3 member Liam Fennecken comments, “‘Bring Him Home’ is from the musical Les Misérables and is performed when Jean Valjean wishes for Marius to make it out of war safely. It’s a beautiful, haunting song that talks about wanting the best for those you love. We’ve always kept the arrangement simple. The song is so beautiful on its own, we usually close our concerts with it a cappella. So in expanding the arrangement, we really wanted to let the song and the vocals speak for themselves.”
He continues: “We wanted to make sure the meaning of the song came across in not only words, but in music and feeling – filling all of the space with as much emotion as we could, but still leaving space for the audience to bring themselves to it. After all of the optioning up and jumping around and epic arrangements, this song has always been a nice way for us to fall back to our harmony roots, and truly connect with an audience with no filter. We want people to feel we did the song justice. There are so many incredible versions sung by so many iconic performers. We hope we were able to add something new and unique to that list, without taking away from the true meaning of the song.”
