[Verse 1]
I will have faith in man
That is hard to understand
Show some humility
You have the ability

[Chorus]
Get right with me

[Verse 2]
Friends, if you've lost your way
You will find it again some day
Come down from your pedestals
And open your mouths that's all

[Chorus]
Get right with me

[Bridge]
Life is such a short thing
That I cannot comprehend
But if this life were a bought thing
There are ways I know we'd mend

[Verse 3]
People, take my advice
Already told you once, once or twice
Don't waste your energy
Making apologies

[Chorus]
Get right with me

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.
