Veritas Unae:

Q: Describe the process of working on your track.

Like most things I write, it started with playing around with chords on the piano. The melody came pretty soon after that, and I knew I wanted it to have that feeling of safety, and of a story coming to a close. The end of the song subtly quotes the theme song of the show as a sort of bookend.

Q: Why did you decide to make a track about the end of the show?

The idea of Home was to capture that feeling of lying on the beach with your friends, looking up at the stars, and feeling free. Free of responsibilities and the pressures of the world, if only for a while. The soft ocean noises help to paint the picture, and the chords rise and fall in interesting ways to capture those moments we feel in life, and the triumphs of a job well done.

Q: What's your favourite Steven Universe song?

It's really hard to decide since there are so many good ones. I think Here Comes A Thought is such an evocative message that it's impossible to go past it, but I love Stronger Than You and Giant Woman a lot too. For just backing music, I love Amalgam, Obsidian and the music that plays in Serious Steven when he's going through all the traps.

Q: What's your favourite thing about the track you made?

There are some really interesting chord changes I enjoyed experimenting with, and to be honest, I liked the simplicity of working on it, since I'm a pretty busy guy!
