VOCES8 & the Stay At Home Choir: 'Caledonia' by Dougie MacLean, arr. Blake Morgan
During the fall of 2020, amidst the backdrop of the pandemic, VOCES8 embarked on a project with the Stay At Home Choir, to produce this version of Blake Morgan's arrangement of 'Caledonia' by Dougie MacLean, involving over 4300 singers from across the world. It's a song that reminds us of the comfort of 'home' - whether that's a place, a person, a thought or something else entirely.

TEXT:
I don't know if you can see the changes that have come over me
In these last few days, I've been afraid that I might drift away
So I've been tellin’ old stories, singin’ songs,
that make me think about where I came from
That's the reason why I seem so far away today
But let me tell you that I love you,
and I think about you all the time
Caledonia you're calling me and now I'm going home
If I should become a stranger,
you know it would make me more than sad
Caledonia's been everything I've ever had
And I have tried and I’ve kept on trying, stolen dreams,
yes there's no denying
I’ve travelled hard with conscience flying
somewhere with the wind
Now I'm sitting here before the fire,
the empty room, the forest choir
The flames that couldn't get any higher—
well they've withered, now they've gone
But I'm steady thinking, my way is clear,
and I know what I will do tomorrow
When the hands have shaken and the kisses flowed,
then I will disappear.
