"Home" is a song by English electronic music group Depeche Mode, released on 16 June 1997 as the third single from their ninth album, Ultra (1997). The song is sung by guitarist Martin Gore, rather than the band's main singer, Dave Gahan.
Critical reception
Larry Flick from Billboard wrote that the song "shows the venerable electronic group in a predictably melancholy mood. But who cares? Few acts can dish out the angst better, and "Home" pleases with its baroque strings and skittling beat." He added, "Modern rock radio is a given. The question hanging in the balance is whether popsters will once again welcome Depeche Mode onto top 40 airwaves. Hard to say, though this is certainly the act's best mainstream single in a good long time."[1] Pan-European magazine Music & Media deemed it as a "somewhat subdued but still sparkling affair."[2] A reviewer from Music Week rated it four out of five, describing it as "a downbeat track with an upbeat message, strong on strings and big synth sounds. Lighters aloft."[3]
