Notes
Steffen Rüth interviewed Martin Gore for German syndicated news agency Interviewpeople.com and asked him about this track (translated from German):
Steffen: You sing the song "Eternal" on your own. Is this song about your little daughter Johnnie Lee, who was born a year ago?
Gore: Yes. I wrote the song about my little girl.
Steffen: A lovely song, but did it really have to include a line like "When the radioactive rain falls, I will look you in the eye and kiss you"?
Gore: Isn't it romantic! [laughs] Okay, let's just say it's my way of romance. I think that when you put a child into this era, you have to take the worst into account. There is this omnipresent danger of every kind, including atomic wars. Since a few months ago, we got a crazy man in the biggest and most important position of the world [Donald Trump]. Who knows what will happen.
Martin elaborated on it to Consequence Of Sound:
"[...] I actually like 'Eternal' [out of all the songs on 'Spirit'] because it’s weird. [Laughs] [I]t was written about my daughter, who’s now one. It’s quite dark and bleak, and it talks about a mushroom cloud rising and radiation falling. The instrumentation is really strange and quite experimental and really something unlike anything we’ve done for a while."
