Quotes
Musician magazine interviewed Depeche Mode about the recording process of 'Songs Of Faith And Devotion', and they reported: "For the bridge, Gahan learned the lyrics backwards, phonetically, and sang them over a mirror image of the melody; the tape was then reversed, lending a ghostly tone to the vocal."
Alan Wilder said in the May 1993 issue of Keyboard magazine:
"That's a backwards high piano [at the end of 'Mercy In You']."
Trivia
- In a feature on his BRAT Productions website, Depeche Mode archivist Daniel "BRAT" Barassi confirmed the whispered vocals audible during the chorus sections were performed by Martin Gore.
Lyrics
Mercy In You
You know what I need
When my heart bleeds
I suffer from greed
A longing to feed
On the mercy in you
I can't conceal
The way I'm healed
The pleasure I feel
When I have to deal
With the mercy in you
I would do it all again
Lose my way and fall again
Just so I could call again
On the mercy in you
When here in my mind
I feel inclined
To wrongly treat you unkind
I have faith I will find
The mercy in you
I would lose my way again
Be led hopelessly astray again
Just so I could pray again
For the mercy in you
When here in my mind
I have been blind
Emotionally behind
I have faith I will find
The mercy in you
