Notes
Alan Wilder confirms "Higher Love" was included on the short-list for potential Songs Of Faith And Devotion singles:
We would usually reach a consensus to form a short-list of potential singles. For example, "Higher Love" was on this list for the SOFAD singles but never made it and there were differences of opinion about in which order they should appear. Dave felt very strongly that "Condemnation" should have been the first single but he was out-voted. I wanted "Walking In My Shoes" as a second single and got my way but I really wanted the original version of "In Your Room" [instead of the Zephyr mix]. This is all a good example of the problems of democracy - somebody usually ends up disappointed.[1]
Q&A from Alan Wilder's Shunt:
- What can you tell me about the drum track on "Higher Love" that is so similar to the one in "So Cruel" by U2 (Achtung Baby).
Wilder: Didn't Flood work on both LP's?.....
Lyrics
Higher Love
I can taste more than feel
This burning inside is so real
I can almost lay my hands upon
The warm glow that lingers on
Moved, lifted higher
Moved, my soul's on fire
Moved, by a higher love
I surrender all control
To the desire that consumes me whole
And leads me by the hand to infinity
That lies in wait at the heart of me
Moved, lifted higher
Moved, my soul's on fire
Moved, by a higher love
Heaven bound on the wings of love
There's so much that you can rise above
Moved, lifted higher
Moved, by a higher love
By a higher love
I surrender heart and soul
Sacrificed to a higher goal
Moved, by a higher love
By a higher love
Songwriter: Martin L. Gore
