Song of the Day: Home

Home by Mumford and Sons. This song is basically a Youtube exclusive. Apparently this song was written in 2011 for a film but ended up being not used. The version that you are hearing is pretty much the only version that exists, and it’s from the band’s live session on KBCO Radio from 2011. The band never officially released this song and nor does it appear on any of their albums. It’s wild to me that a song this good and a song with this much potential, or at least had a ton of potential when Mumford and Sons was peaking in the early 2010’s, was never released. The band just decided to keep this little gem in their back pocket. Apparently a month ago, Marcus Mumford performed this song for the first time since the 2011 recording at a charity event, but it appears there is no video or recording of that that I could find. This arguably a top 5 Mumford & Sons song, at least in my opinion, and it’s like the song doesn’t even exist.
