Information AboutHome (depeche Mode Song) |
"Home" is Depeche Mode 's thirty-third UK single, released on June 16 , 1997 , and the third single for the album '' Ultra ''. It is also the third (and most recent) UK single with Martin Gore on lead vocals, and the second stand-alone single with him on lead vocals (the others are " A Question Of Lust " and " Somebody ", which was a double-A side with " Blasphemous Rumours "). Though it was planned to be released in the US, it ended up being scrapped due to some radio stations playing the song " Useless " instead, leading people in the US to believe that was the third single, when it was the fourth single. Reprise scrapped the US release of "Home", despite there already being confirmed tracklists, and released Home/Useless as a double A-side single. "Home" is a ballad with beautiful strings and other arrangements, and as a Martin vocal track it's a fan favorite. The single version of "Home" has an ambient intro, rather than the drum beat starting directly at the beginning like the album version. There are no actual B-sides for "Home", just live versions of " Barrel Of A Gun " and " It's No Good " recorded during the ''Ultra Party'' concert in London. The "Home" remixes are often considered the worst DM remixes, because some of the mixes don't even keep any of the music, just Martin's vocals mixed in with new melodies. The "Air Around the Golf" mix appears on Remixes 81 - 04 . The music video for "Home" is the only ''Ultra'' video not directed by Anton Corbijn , but instead by Steve Green . It features an alien exploring an apartment complex, and uses a highly-shortened down version of "Home", likely the Radio edit. During the last "Touring The Angel" world tour, "Home" has been included in the setlist, and the "Air Around The Golf" arrangement was used for the first half part of the song. Probably, due to the unordinary version, Martin failed several times singing the first verse. TRACK LISTINGS
