"Home" is a popular song from 1931, composed by Peter Van Steeden and written by Harry and Jeff Clarkson. The song was copyrighted by Marlo Music Corporation, located on 745 Seventh Ave in New York. 


The genre of "Home" can be classified as a classic example of early 20th-century popular music, with its sentimental lyrics and soulful melody that evoke feelings of nostalgia and longing. This style of music was characteristic of the Great Depression era, where people were looking for comfort and hope during a time of economic hardship and uncertainty.


The song's theme is centered around the idea of nostalgia and the longing to return home. Its poignant lyrics about leaving the warmth and comfort of home behind to chase one's dreams reflect the time of the song's creation when many people fled to cities in search of work and a better life. The soulful melody and sentimental tone of the song offer a bittersweet reminder of the pain and sacrifices of chasing one's dreams.


While "Home" never gained the enduring popularity of some of the other iconic songs of its time, it was still well-received by audiences, and the song was performed by several notable artists, including Bing Crosby and Rudy Vallee. Today, "Home" continues to be a beloved song to those who appreciate the classic and timeless sounds of early 20th-century popular music.
