The story behind “Come Back To Me” is as compelling as the song itself. Penned by the talented duo of Sanna Bernhus and Christine Ekeberg, the lyrics paint a vivid picture of yearning for a lost love. “Smellin’ your clothes and the tea fell out of my hands / Thinkin’ bout you and the pressure comes to my chest,” Jan Francis sings, his voice laced with a palpable vulnerability that draws listeners into his world. The song is a journey through memories, a desperate attempt to rewind time and relive moments that now exist only in photographs. Produced, mixed, and mastered by the skilled Are Sorknes, the song’s sonic landscape perfectly complements the emotional weight of the lyrics, creating an immersive listening experience.
“Come Back To Me” is more than just a collection of beautifully crafted lyrics and melodies; it’s a window into the universal experience of love, loss, and the enduring power of memories. Each verse speaks to the human desire to hold onto moments that slip through our fingers like sand, and the hope that maybe, just maybe, those moments can somehow find their way back to us. The metaphor of photographs as vessels of memory is particularly striking, as Jan sings, “I take a photograph, hoping you’ll come back to me / swimming in your sea of yellow and gold, / I wish we never had to grow up / So I take a photograph.” The act of taking a photograph becomes a symbol of clinging to the past, a way to preserve the essence of a relationship that has faded.
The song’s emotional depth is further amplified by Jan Francis’ heartfelt delivery. He imbues each word with a sense of longing and vulnerability, drawing listeners into the narrative and allowing them to connect with the raw emotions he conveys. It’s a performance that transcends mere singing; it’s a genuine expression of the human condition, capturing the complexities of love and loss in a way that is both relatable and deeply moving. “This beautifully written song is a definite hit, and Jan Francis’ soaring vocals and impeccable style takes it to a new level. It was a joy producing it.” Sorkes, the song producer has this statement to share.
