Surrender

Notes

Martin Gore told Allstar Magazine in 1998:

"'Surrender' is quite slow. It's very melodic. It's a good song to sing. It's about surrendering to your desires - maybe you don't really have a choice. It is an extension of 'Ultra'."

When asked in 2005 about their most underrated song, Martin Gore said:

"There's one I particularly like that got lost because it was just an extra track on [the 'Only When I Lose Myself'] single, called 'Surrender'."

Tim Simenon reveals during his Depeche Mode Facebook Takeover that a working title for this track was 'Tempt'.
