Home (Three Days Grace Song)
"Home" is the third single by Canadian rock band Three Days Grace from their self-titled debut album (2003). Background "Home" was the third single released by Three Days Grace and, despite its radio success, it did not reach as high as its two predecessors on the music charts, peaking at number 90 in the United States. Nonetheless, "Home" was singer Adam Gontier's favorite song from ''Three Days Grace'': " Home'hits a spot with me. It's a fun song to play live as well. It's tough to pick a favorite, but because of the amount of energy we give it live, I'd say it's 'Home.'" Drummer Neil Sanderson said, "It's about being pushed around and neglected and feeling like even though you're in the company of other people, they're not really there at all." It was nominated for "Song of the Year: Alternative/Active Rock Radio" at the 2005 Radio Music Awards and won a BDS Spin Award based on the 100,000 spins it received in September 2005.

Mainstream Rock
Mainstream rock (also known as heritage rock) is a radio format used by many commercial radio stations in the United States and Canada. Format background Mainstream rock stations represent the middle ground between classic rock and active rock on the programming spectrum, in that they play more classic rock songs from the 1970s and 1980s and fewer songs from emerging acts than active rock stations, and only rarely play songs on the softer edge of the classic rock format. They program a balanced airplay of tracks found on active rock and classic rock playlists, but the music playlist tends to focus on charting hard rock music from the 1970s through the 2000s. Mainstream rock is the true successor to the widespread album-oriented rock (AOR) format created in the 1970s. However, mainstream rock can be used as a modernized update of classic rock if any radio station playlist has to cut back on some active rock artists and songs due to ratings and popularity demand, which is an absol ...
