If Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros does not ring a bell for you, there’s a good chance their song, “Home,” might.
Especially if you were a music fan around 2010.
Music was going through a heavy stomp, clap folk pop wave, and “Home” made it all the way to No. 25 on Billboard’s Alternative Airplay chart.
There is really nothing overly offensive about the song. It is kind of catchy.
Or maybe there is. And, maybe it isn’t. You can listen to the song here.
That brings us to the reason the band and the song are in the headlines this week . It seems some folks rediscovered them thanks to a clip shared to X from their NPR Tiny Desk concert. To be fair, it was not a great version of the song that they performed there.
“Worst song ever made,” one person wrote while sharing it.
