So Much Love
Notes
Dave Gahan told Rolling Stone about 'So Much Love':
"It's like we have so much love here, we really do, but we're afraid to use it and access it. It's the old John Lennon thing, like, 'love and peace, man.' [...] ['So Much Love'] also reminds me of early electronic stuff, like Tuxedomoon and Cabaret Voltaire, who did kind of punky, distorted songs."
Paradiso asked if 'So Much Love' would not have been better as the final track on 'Spirit' since it would have ended it on a happy note, to which Dave Gahan replied:
"Well, funnily enough, there was one tracklisting on the album where So Much Love was the final song. I did feel like it should be the final song on the album. And Martin felt that we should end the album in a different way, so I was pretty much outvoted. And that's the way it goes, we are a democracy, it doesn't mean I have to be right. I understand what you are saying because I felt that the songs, all the songs on the album, are all leading in a certain direction, and I felt like this was the song that says we all still have so much love in us. Let's have some hopefulness at the end of this dark tunnel. [But] it worked: it would always have worked no matter where it is [on the album]."
