This is "I found my home" from an episode called 'Mobodoon' in which Manic discovers his true heritage. Having been raised on the streets as a thief, he never had the luxury of parents or a real home, so he feels a strong connection to his birthplace, but of course this means the band will no longer be together.

This a lighter song, 140 BPM, synonymous with a slightly elevated human heartbeat*. The drums are a basic rock beat with few fills, substituting double snare hits to add contrast. The three fills are in the second half of the song, when the synth comes in.

The rhythm guitars are heavy on reverb, making them sound a lot more roomy, adding to the wonderfully open and free beauty that Mobodoon offers, in contrast to the choking city. The vocals are also breathy and soft, showing Manic's innocence as he takes in the wonder of this paradise. A lead guitar sings over the others, boosting the melody of the vocals, as if a second voice on the breeze.

The drums conclude on the penultimate refrain, allowing the final one to be sung over just a ride cymbal, the piano, and the bass, highlighting the message that Manic has finally returned to where he belongs.

*The average human heartbeat is 120BPM.
