Home (Depeche Mode song)

"Home" is a song by the English electronic music band Depeche Mode, released as the third single from their ninth studio album, Ultra (1997). It is notable for being the first single where Martin Gore performs the lead vocals, a role typically held by Dave Gahan.

The song is a ballad characterized by its emotional lyrics and lush instrumentation, contrasting with the more industrial and experimental sound of much of Ultra. The lyrics explore themes of longing, belonging, and finding solace in a relationship. The arrangement features strings, layered synths, and a prominent bassline.

"Home" was a commercial success, reaching the top 25 in several countries, including the UK and Germany. It has become a fan favorite and a staple in Depeche Mode's live performances, often with Gore continuing to sing lead vocals.

The single release included various remixes of the song, catering to different electronic music styles. A music video, directed by Steven Green, accompanied the song's release. The video focuses on a young woman's struggles with loneliness and her search for connection.
