1) Vicki Brown (Liver… Read Full Bio ↴There are two female musicians with this name:
1) Vicki Brown (Liverpool, 23 August 1940 – Henley-on-Thames, 16 June 1991), born Victoria Mary Haseman, was an English pop, rock and contemporary classical singer. She is best known for her membership of both The Vernons Girls and The Breakaways, and as one of the UK's most enduring backing vocalists. She was the first wife of 1960s singer and musician, Joe Brown, and mother of the singer, Sam Brown and record producer Pete Brown. She had succes as solo artist and sang for The New London Chorale of Tom Parker. At the age of 50 she died of breast cancer (1991). A fansite maintained by Jos van Geffen with a more detailed description of her work can be found here: http://www.xs4all.nl/~josvg/cits/vicki.html
2) Vicki Brown is an experimental artist from Tucson, Arizona. Her violin-based improvisational and organic creations reveal ethereal cinematic moodscapes. Most scores are a capitalization on chance with attention to impulses and intentions without attachment.
A native of Wisconsin, she has considered Tucson her home since 1992 when she began graduate school. While she was working on her doctorate in psychology, she was also being heavily educated on the sounds wafting into her old barrio adobe abode from the next-door neighbors like Howe Gelb, John Convertino, Joey Burns and Rainer Ptacek. Almost immediately after finishing school in 2003, she had the serendipitous chance to study with Paul Horn who introduced her to the world of improvisation by stepping off the page and essentially writing your own history. She has not looked back ever since.
Much of her music reflects the abstract and intangible yet comprehensible modeling of psychology with unique metrics to understand ourselves better. Her approach is largely to lay out the map of unchartered territories and blaze a trail.
Vicki's second release "Seas & Trees", pulls together material laid down over the past 2 years, pieces that have found their rightful home. Most of it was recorded at home either by herself or with the additions on bass, pedals, and casio sk1 courtesy of Thøger Lund (Giant Sand, The Desoto Caucus), in the studio with Thøger Lund and France's French Tourist (Nantes) on theramin and vinyl, or while choreographing sounds for Movement Salon, Tucson's premier and only arts ensemble (dancers, musicians, writers) that practices the art of Compositional Improvisation.
Her first album, "Winter Garden" was released in 2006 by KEEP Recordings. She was voted Tucson's Best String artist as part of the 2008 TAMMIES (Tucson's Grammys). Recording she did with Joey Burns and Year Long Disaster was nominated for "Best New Rock Song" 2008 Grammy award (Swan on Black Lake).
Going Home
Vicki Brown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm just going home
Quiet like some still day
I'm just going home
Mother's there expecting me
Father is waiting too
Lots of folks gathered there
It's not farjust close by
Restless dreams are done
Quiet like some still day
I'm just going home
I'm just going home
It's noyt far just close by
Trough an open door
Work all done care laid by
Going to fear no more
Morning star lights the way
Restless dreams are done
Quiet like some still day
I'm just going home
I'm just going home
The meaning behind Vicki Brown's "Going Home" is introspective and reflective. The song is a meditation about life's journey, and how it eventually leads us back to our origins. The singer of the song is getting ready to return to where she came from, to a place where she feels completely at peace. In the chorus, she repeats that she's "just going home," and it's clear that this destination is not a physical place – it's a state of mind that she's returning to.
The verses of the song paint a picture of the singer's family and friends, who are all eagerly anticipating her arrival. She's coming home to a warm welcome, and there's a sense of excitement and joy in the air. The line, "Lots of folks gathered there / all friends I knew," suggests a reunion with loved ones who have already passed on. The song's gentle melody and soothing vocals, along with the theme of reunion, create an overall tone of comfort and closure.
The second verse talks about how the singer's work is finished, and she's ready to let go of her worries and fears. The morning star is shining, and the "restless dreams" of life are finally over. These lyrics paint a picture of the singer's journey coming to an end – she's completed the work she was meant to do and can now let go of her fears and worries. In this sense, "Going Home" can be interpreted as an expression of faith, as it suggests a belief in life after death and the idea that everything will ultimately be okay.

Een pracht vrouw met een prachtige stem. Ze raakte mij diep in mijn ziel toen ik haar voor het eerst met een concert hoorde zingen bij mij in Groningen. Ik heb daarna nog een 2e concert van haar mogen bijwonen. Wat een charisma en uitstraling had Vicki. Ze had bij mij een diepe indruk achtergelaten en nu nog... Ze was al ziek toen ik haar hoorde zingen in 1990. Maar er ging een enorme kracht van haar uit. Haar persoonlijkheid, die stem... Je blijft in ons hart voortbestaan Vicki.
