Check out Depeche Mode’s soulful new song ‘In The End’ recorded during the ‘Memento Mori’ sessions
The track will feature on the physical release of their new feature film 'M'
Depeche Mode have shared a soulful new song called ‘In The End’.
The track, which you can listen to below, was recorded during sessions for their 2023 album ‘Memento Mori‘ and will feature on the physical release of their new Depeche Mode: M feature film.
Much like the bulk of the album, this chiming melodic song is pre-occupied with death as frontman Dave Gahan sings: “You know we’re going nowhere / We’re all nothing in the end / We’re weightless, floating endlessly / We’ll be dust again in the end.”
Speaking about his passing, Gahan previously told NME: “Fletch was probably… let’s just say, the least of all of us in terms of excesses. That was always the knowing joke – that Fletch was going to outlive all of us. ‘He’s still here, isn’t he?’ Now he’s not, and it still doesn’t feel real.”
Despite its preoccupations with life and death, the songs for their album were written before they lost their friend, with the first starting before the pandemic. “It was a pretty scary time,” recalled Gore at the time. “Watching the daily figures rise staggeringly just brought death to the forefront. Then in 2021, I hit 60. That was a really big slap in the face for me because my step-dad, who had been there and raised me, died at 61. My biological father died at 68.”
The physical release of M, which also includes a new live album, ‘Memento Mori: Mexico City’, is out on Friday December 5 on two DVDs, Blu-rays or two CDs.
