There's actually a good story behind "Home", read below as Madeon explains it himself:
In january of last year, I stopped touring completely to focus on writing music for Adventure.
— Madeon (@madeon) March 9, 2015I have this thing I do about once a year. I lock myself in the studio for 24 hours and make two or three new songs from start to finish
— Madeon (@madeon) March 9, 2015By the 18th hour, the combination of sleep deprivation, creative frustration and isolation put me in this weird vulnerable state.
— Madeon (@madeon) March 9, 2015I kind of felt like giving up on music to be honest, so I made a song about that.
— Madeon (@madeon) March 9, 2015Because I was alone in the studio and had a microphone, I ended up recording it myself and finished producing it in the few hours remaining.
— Madeon (@madeon) March 9, 2015I dont see myself as a singer but I thought it would be weird to have anyone else do the song so I kept it the same as the demo on the album
