Notes
In a long promo interview in September 2007, Dave Gahan was asked about every song off 'Hourglass' including this one:
"Well that song was you know, I put, wanted that song to be first on the album because it really was the catalyst that gave me the encouragement to wanna start another project. It actually came from a chord pattern, some strings that Christian had sent me, during the time we were finishing 'Playing The Angel'. And there was one time we were in New York and I was in the live room sitting at the piano and I had my little Dictaphone set up, I was doing something else but I kept playing these strings because they were doing something for me and I started to formulate what became the vocal melody and the lyrics for that song. So actually, I'd actually written, I heard that song in its sort of complete form before we even started recording it, so it was actually one of the first things I sang down when Andrew and Christian had set up all their gear. I said — you know let me sing down this melody and lyric idea that I have, I had a sort of complete song, so I sang it down to the strings that Christian had given me in the first place and he played some drums on it and they were kind of blown away by what I did, so it gave me some confidence about the writing. The rest of it I had no clue about where it was going at that point, but felt really passionate about this song, I still do. I think it's by far the best song on the album."
