If memory serves only not too long ago Martin Gore divulged that the song was originally a lullaby ...its really about his struggling to be a father as he found parenthood all consuming and difficult to find a balance ..but Alan Wilder 🥰and Flood gave it a darker atmosphere ....
It felt like a deep album cut buy they made it into a single. Although it got a significant remix for the single version. Something of the claustrophobia they must have been feeling as they were recording this album. This one had something that up until that point was almost unheard of for the band in the studio. Live drums. It gives it a groove.
One of my favorite dM concerts I was at was on the SOFAD tour! Of course, it helped I was front row in front of Alan when he played drums... I loved when the drum kit slid out and Alan stepped behind it to play... Just something so different than every Mode concert I had seen before!
Yea one of there bio documentry they admmited that this album did give them claustrophilia then how that tour that they wete on litterly nearly killed them.
1. I fell you - you did 2. Walking in my shoes - you did 3. Condemnation- you did 4. Mercy in you 5. Judas 6. In your room - you did 7. Rush - you did 8. Get right with me - you did 9. One caress 10. Higher love - you did
DM definitely brought intensity with this album - it's pretty crazy that Songs of Faith and Devotion was the follow-up album to their very poppy and critical smash, Violator, three years prior. Long-time member Alan Wilder was stepping up and taking control in the studio, along with producer Flood. But with Dave's heroin issues, Martin's alcoholism, and Andy's depression - no wonder Alan chose to leave the band after this album. Luckily the 3 remaining members stayed together and recovered from their issues.
@@user-jx6yc2mp1e Fair point. What I mean is that Violator brought commercial success in a way they hadn't experienced before. Most bands would've tried to copy that formula, DM didn't (though SOFAD was a commercial success too).
@@macewbee He sensed before the tour that SOFAD was his last DM album. The working relationship amongst them had deteriorated during the making of the record before the mammoth world tour... though he did make himself wait until 1995 to think it over and formally announce his departure.
People always talk about Alan but the sounds of this record and the production come a lot from Flood and I think this is one of the reasons (together with Martin great writing) this for me is the most fascinating DM album.
Legendary DM song. Especially this album version
Great album. Great band. This is probably my favorite song on the album, and one of my favorite from the band.

the album version wouldn’t work as a single.. the beginning is too ‘theatrical’, sounds like it could be from a stage musical

I always liked this one.
1. I fell you - you did
2. Walking in my shoes - you did
3. Condemnation- you did
4. Mercy in you
5. Judas
6. In your room - you did
7. Rush - you did
8. Get right with me - you did
9. One caress
10. Higher love - you did
Gotta do one caress
Thank you, thank you! This song is so great.
Didn't knew this version, fantastic !
Its the álbum version
It's the version they played on the SOFAD and Global Spirit tours

Can't disagree more on calling Violator poppy. It was for sure a lot more accessible than their previous LP's, but not a poppy one for sure.

Agreed Alan was let lose with SOFAD ...not holding back anymore...its very Recoil
Yea it was in the bio also from the devotional tour after Alen was burned out he couldn't do it anymore.

Thanks Tre ! Great Jam 😁👍
Check out the video version too! More of a Grunge feel! Legendary cut anyway

Remarkable tune.
Oooh a fave DM song for sure !
