Alex Warren, Carry You Home | Music Lifts 🎶 🏋

In the 18th edition of Music Lifts (2025), we’re uplifted by pop singer/songwriter Alex Warren performing “Carry You Home.”

Welcome to Music Lifts 🎶 🏋, a column highlighting songs that encourage, inspire, and uplift the spirit; songs exuding fortitude, positivity, and resolve, even in the face of adversity.  Featured songs aren’t genre-specific; songs may or may not be faith-based. The goal is for these songs to make you feel better – be LIFTED to new heights!  So, for the 18^th edition of Music Lifts 🎶 🏋 (2025), we highlight “Carry You Home” as performed by Alex Warren.

“Oh, I hope you know, I will carry you home / Whether it’s tonight or fifty-five years down the road.” What is that sound that I hear, Alex Warren? Why, it’s wedding bells 🔔 💍! “Carry You Home” is giving off those ‘sealing the deal forever’ vibes. The dedication is sublime, like “Love, lift us up where we belong”! Alex, you may now kiss the bride! “Carry You Home” is the fourth track from his 2024 album, You’ll Be Alright, Kid (Chapter 1). He penned “Carry” alongside Cal Shapiro, Mags Duval, and producer Adam Yaron.

Beyond the chorus excerpted above, Warren sees a bright and fruitful future.  “I know none of them [dreams] have stuck yet,” he sings in the first verse, “But I bet it on you, honey / Oh, I would risk it all.”  In the second verse, despite being homeless, him and her “kept each other warm under a ceiling full of stars.” Aww 🥰! Despite adversity, they made it through thick and thin. Through the good and bad times, Alex has made his choice, and he won’t change his mind: “I choose us every time.” That is a great choice, buddy! Warren sings this driving, folk-pop record beautifully. He never gets ‘too high’ in the verses but ups the ante in the pre-chorus and the crème de la crème, the chorus. The authenticity, sincerity, and thoughtfulness of “Carry You Home” are awe-inspiring. Alex, YOU are a surefire winner.
