Poorman

Notes

Dave Gahan told Billboard:

"We recorded ['Spirit'] during the [presidential election] campaign. We were recording during the time when Brexit was happening and when we finally got the news. A lot of change, a lot of "Really?"-type stuff happening. But it’s been going all around the world, and this separatism, "I've got to keep mine, and get out of my way," and all the stuff we've been hearing for years about the one percent -- "When are we going to see it trickle down?" It comes up in “Poorman” on this album."

Martin Gore told El Tiempo (translated from Spanish):

"I think 'Poorman' is definitely influenced by the blues, but I think in general this album is less "blues" than 'Delta Machine'. Maybe there's something "bluesy" in the way we write the lyrics."
