Tony Rundle delivers an ode to new life in "Welcome to the World"

"Welcome to the World" by acclaimed singer-songwriter Tony Rundle takes an extremely personal moment and turns it into a folk lullaby we can all share. This track was inspired by the birth of a close friend's son, and it's a comforting hug for the baby and the journey of parenthood.

Rundle's folk roots are genuine and evident from the first strum. The melody is fragile yet earthy, like a weathered storyteller sitting in a chair beside. His gritty and knowing voice imparts warm wisdom to the infant and comforting solace to the parents starting out on the new phase in their lives.

What makes "Welcome to the World" more than a simple love letter is its emotional largesse. You don't have to know anything about the family or the baby to sense the heft and warmth beneath each lyric. It's that kind of song that makes you stop and smile and reflect on the people who had an impact on one's own journey.

After cutting his teeth in South London rock bands and later the UK folk scene, Rundle handles every note with a craftsman's touch. Now writing and recording from his studio in Burton-on-Trent, he still has stories to tell and heartstrings to yank. "Welcome to the World" is a song and a legacy hymn. For anyone who has ever welcomed new life or been welcomed, Rundle's latest collection is a quiet triumph of love, legacy, and lyrical grace.
