[Chorus]
I will never be free
I shall never be released
From the chains that bind me, that torture and blind me
And keep me from peace

[Verse 1]
Oh, what heartache
Oh, what heartbreak
Following me
Calling to me

[Chorus]
I will never be free
I shall never be released
From the chains that bind me, that torture and blind me
And keep me from peace
I will never be free
I will never be laid to rest
Sisters and brothers, I'll never recover
From this tenderness

[Verse 2]
See what love brings
Hear what love sings
Sad melodies
Enticing me

[Chorus]
I will never be free
I shall never be released
From the chains that bind me, that torture and blind me
And keep me from peace
I will never be free
I will never be laid to rest
Sisters and brothers, I'll never recover
From this tenderness

Depeche Mode

Depeche Mode are recognized as one of the most artistically influential bands of the late 20th century. Commercially, they have released 14 studio albums to date, and sold more than 100 million records. Their most recent album, Spirit, hit the streets in March 2017.

The band got their start in Basildon, Essex in 1980, and named themselves after a French fashion magazine. They rose to fame with hits that have become “Just Can’t Get Enough” (1981), “Everything Counts” (1983), and “People Are People” (1984), to name a few. One of their most famous concerts was at the Pasadena Rose Bowl in 1988.

Martin Gore has been the band’s primary songwriter since Vince Clarke left in the early 1980s (and went on to form Yazoo and Erasure). Alan Wilder replaced Clarke on keyboards in 1982, but left in 1995 (reinvesting his creative energy in his band, Recoil, which he had started in 1986). Since then, the band has comprised frontman Dave Gahan, multi-instrumentalist Martin Gore, and keyboardist Andy Fletcher—all of whom are original members.
