Notes

Dave Gahan says in the 'Sounds Of The Universe' EPK:

"'In Chains' is another [song off the album] which I really like which I think is a classic soul song, its got that kind of feel about it, that it could have been something that Marvin Gaye performed, that kind of soul-y song, its got beautiful lyrics and it was great to sing, it was one of the most challenging songs for me to get where I wanted it to be vocally with my voice but we got there in the end."
