Halo [Strange Version]Depeche Mode

Released: November 6, 1990

Songwriter: Martin L. Gore

Producer: Flood Depeche Mode

[Verse 1: Dave Gahan]
You wear guilt
Like shackles on your feet
Like a halo in reverse
I can feel
The discomfort in your seat
And in your head, it's worse

[Interlude]

[Verse 2: Dave Gahan]
There's a pain
A famine in your heart
An aching to be free
Can't you see?
All love's luxuries
Are here for you and me

[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
And when our worlds they fall apart
When the walls come tumbling in
Though we may deserve it
It will be worth it

[Verse 3: Dave Gahan]
Bring your chains
Your lips of tragedy
And fall into my arms

[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
And when our worlds they fall apart
When the walls come tumbling in
Though we may deserve it
It will be worth it

[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
And when our worlds they fall apart
When the walls come tumbling in
Though we may deserve it
It will be worth it

[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
And when our worlds they fall apart
When the walls come tumbling in
Though we may deserve it
It will be worth it

[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
And when our worlds they fall apart
When the walls come tumbling in
Though we may deserve it
It will be worth it

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.
