SONGS OF FAITH AND DEVOTION (1993)
Songs of Faith and Devotion est le 8e album studio du groupe britannique Depeche Mode, sorti le 22 mars 1993. De genre rock alternatif, électro-rock et synthpop, il est n°1 à sa sortie au Royaume-uni et aux Etats-Unis et il s’est vendu à ce jour à 4 millions d’exemplaires. Les titres I Feel You, Walking in my Shoes, Condemnation et In your Room ont fait le succès de cet album.
C’est durant l’enregistrement de cet album et de la tournée qui s’ensuit que les premières failles apparaissent au sein du groupe : une mésentente grandissante et l’abus de drogues fragiliseront le groupe entre 1993 et 1996, période qui est marquée par le départ d’Alan Wilder. (Source : Wikipedia)

LES SINGLES
I FEEL YOU
PAROLES
I feel you, your sun, it shines.
I feel you within my mind.
You take me there, you take me where the kingdom comes.
You take me to, and lead me through Babylon.
This is the morning of our love.
It’s just the dawning of our love.
I feel you, your heart, it sings.
I feel you, the joy it brings.
Where heaven waits, those golden gates, and back again.
You take me to, you lead me through oblivion.
This is the morning of our love.
It’s just the dawning of our love.
I feel you, your precious soul, and I am whole.
I feel you, your rising sun, my kingdom comes.
I feel you, each move you make.
I feel you, each breath you take.
Where angels sing and spread their wings my love’s on high.
You take me home to glory’s throne by and by.
This is the morning of our love.
It’s just the dawning of our love.
This is the morning of our love.
It’s just the dawning of our love.
WALKING IN MY SHOES
PAROLES
I would tell you about the things they put me through
The pain I’ve been subjected to
But the Lord himself would blush
The countless feasts laid at my feet
Forbidden fruits for me to eat
But I think your pulse would start to rush
Now I’m not looking for absolution
Forgiveness for the things I do
But before you come to any conclusions
Try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
You’ll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments I kept
If you try walking in my shoes
If you try walking in my shoes
Morality would frown upon
Decency look down upon
The scapegoat fate’s made of me
But I promise now, my judge and jurors
My intentions couldn’t have been purer
My case is easy to see
I’m not looking for a clearer conscience
Peace of mind after what I’ve been through
And before we talk of any repentance
Try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
You’ll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments I kept
If you try walking in my shoes
If you try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
Now I’m not looking for absolution
Forgiveness for the things I do
But before you come to any conclusions
Try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
You’ll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments I kept
If you try walking in my shoes
You’ll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments I kept
If you try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
If you try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
CONDEMNATION
PAROLES
Condemnation
Tried
Here on the stand
With the book in my hand
And truth on my side
Accusations
Lies
Hand me my sentence
I’ll show no repentance
I’ll suffer with pride
If for honesty
You want apologies
I don’t sympathize
If for kindness
You substitute blindness
Please open your eyes
Condemnation
Why
Because my duty
Was always to beauty
And that was my crime
Feel elation
High
To know I can trust this
Fix of injustice
Time after time
If you see purity
As immaturity
Well it’s no surprise
If for kindness
You substitute blindness
Please open your eyes
IN YOUR ROOM
PAROLES
In your room
Where time stands still
Or moves at your will
Will you let the morning come soon
Or will you leave me lying here
In your favourite darkness
Your favourite half-light
Your favourite consciousness
Your favourite slave
In your room
Where souls disappear
Only you exist here
Will you lead me to your armchair
Or leave me lying here
Your favourite innocence
Your favourite prize
Your favourite smile
Your favourite slave
I’m hanging on your words
Living on your breath
Feeling with your skin
Will I always be here ?
In your room
Your burning eyes
Cause flames to arise
Will you let the fire die down soon
Or will I always be here
Your favourite passion
Your favourite game
Your favourite mirror
Your favourite slave
I’m hanging on your words
Living on your breath
Feeling with your skin
Will I always be here
Will I always be here
