"I really like 'Soul With Me' for its interesting confluence of influences. When I was writing it I felt like it almost had a Pet Sounds-era Beach Boys sound mixed with some Kurt Weill chords, but then also an homage to gospel music with its soul-influenced chorus. It's musically a very interesting outlier in our catalogue. And while the words are obviously about death, they're also very tongue in cheek."

I'm heading for the ever after
Leaving my problems
And the world's disasters
I'm heading for the open sky
I see the beauty
As the leaves start falling
Follow the light
Towards the voices calling
I'm going where the angels fly
And I'm taking my soul with me
And I'm taking my soul with me
I'm ready for the final pages
Kiss goodbye to all my earthly cages
I'm climbing up the golden stairs
Go sing it from the highest tower
From the morning
Till the midnight hour
I'm going where there are no cares
And I'm taking my soul with me
And I'm taking my soul with me

Notes

Martin Gore said in the May 2023 issue of Uncut Magazine:

"I really like 'Soul With Me' for its interesting confluence of influences. When I was writing it I felt like it almost had a Pet Sounds-era Beach Boys sound mixed with some Kurt Weill chords, but then also an homage to gospel music with its soul-influenced chorus. It's musically a very interesting outlier in our catalogue. And while the words are obviously about death, they're also very tongue in cheek."

Lyrics


Soul With Me

I'm heading for the ever after

Leaving my problems

And the world's disasters

I'm heading for the open sky


I see the beauty

As the leaves start falling

Follow the light

Towards the voices calling

I'm going where the angels fly


And I'm taking my soul with me

And I'm taking my soul with me


I'm ready for the final pages

Kiss goodbye to all my earthly cages

I'm climbing up the golden stairs


Go sing it from the highest tower

From the morning

Till the midnight hour

I'm going where there are no cares


And I'm taking my soul with me

And I'm taking my soul with me
