  • Type: Single
  • Release date: 23/05/2005
Engineers stand proudly and firmly out of sync with the rest of the rushed and urgent pop of today. There's is not a world of jagged up-down guitars or North Easterly yelps. It's all about building something a little bigger.

'Home' is a blissful, soaring song that takes its harmonies to an almost menacingly beautiful place. Swathes of vocals and heaps of reverb jostle with pounding drums, swooping violins and a lightly strummed guitar.

Just the remedy to fight unseasonal weather. Lie back and think of England.

good tune...however not a wise choice to choose it again as a single considering that home released as a debut single a year ago... there are better and more uplifting moments on the album ...

another band with a bad marketing plan.....

Re: Engineers - Home

come out of the rain was released as a 2nd single a week or two before the release of mini album ''folly''.... and perhaps you know that last single ''Forgiveness'' included there (slightly different version though)

another reason to believe that something going wrong...dont you think ?

..and i have a feeling that they gonna re release come out in the rain soon

Those re-re-releases become somewhat tiresome...
Definitely Come out in the rain as the next single.
Amazing artwork.
