In December 2003, drummer Neil Sanderson confirmed that "Home" would be released as the album's next single,[3] however, the group released "Just Like You" as the second single.[4] The song was eventually released as the third single from the album on October 4.[5] Speaking with MTV,Sanderson explained the song's meaning and said, "It's about being pushed around and neglected and feeling like even though you're in the company of other people, they're not really there at all."[6]
Lead vocalist Adam Gontier stated that "Home" was favorite song from Three Days Grace: "['Home'] hits a spot with me. It's a fun song to play live as well. It's tough to pick a favorite, but because of the amount of energy we give it live, I'd say it's 'Home.'"[7]
It was nominated for "Song of the Year: Alternative/Active Rock Radio" at the 2005 Radio Music Awards and won a BDS Spin Award based on the 100,000 spins it received in September 2005.[8][9] A promotional CD featuring the song and an interview with the band was included as a bonus with the Lords of EverQuest strategy guide published by Prima Games in 2003.[10]
Compositionedit
"Home" was written by Gontier and was produced by Gavin Brown.[11] Gontier explained how the song came together in an interview with Ultimate Guitar.
"We wrote 'Home' and it had a pretty heavy opening riff. And I think between us and Gavin, our producer, I think we decided that we wanted some kind of melody that was done with the guitar, over the top of the opening riff because it needed something. Basically, we'd just mess around in the studio with different ideas, different lead parts that might sound cool. And what ended up happening, was that high-pitch guitar lead that you hear at the beginning of 'Home'."[11]
Music videoedit
The original promotional video was shot as a montage of the band playing on tour accompanied by the song. It held little to no success and was not charted on MuchMusic's Countdown due to its low rotation.[12]
The second and more familiar video, directed by Dean Karr was released in October 2004.[6] It was shot in Hamilton, Ontario at the then-abandoned Lister Block in September 2004.[13] Speaking about the music video, Sanderson stated, "We did it in this asbestos-filled condemned building, and my lungs haven't been the same since. The video is pretty wild. There's a creature haunting this house that we're playing in, and there are a lot of metaphoric images that relate directly back to the lyrics."[6] The video reached number one on the MuchMusic Countdown.[14]
