It entered the UK charts at number 41 before peaking at number 6 just four weeks later. It's one of my favourite DM tunes after Vince Clarke left the band a few years earlier, with this song being written by Martin Gore.
Personally, I will always prefer the more upbeat, pop/disco songs from their first album Speak and Spell, but then I'm a sucker for anything written by Vince Clarke and his electronic wizardry with analogue synthesizers. Still, this song along with a few others (People are People, See You, and Enjoy the Silence) proved that Depeche Mode could still pump out some memorable and catchy tunes without VC.
Enjoy...
