10 Greatest Ever Depeche Mode Songs
6. In Your Room (1993)
Taken from their landmark 1993 album, Songs Of Faith And Devotion, In Your Room is Depeche Mode at their atmospheric peak.
Songs of Faith And Devotion is home to a number of the band's most complete offerings, from the popular Walking In My Shoes, to the confessional Condemnation and the underrated Mercy In You.
But In Your Room is the album's peak. Oozing with sexual tension, Gahan is powerless to resist the subject of his obsession, as he describes himself as a 'slave.' Submissiveness is a recurring trope of Martin Gore's lyrical content.
As is the case with many Depeche Mode songs, there are multiple remixes of this track. The version included on this list is the original album version, not the radically different 'Zephyr Mix' that was released as a single in 1994. With the band on the verge of implosion, many, including visual director Anton Corbijn, believed this would be the last single the band would ever release. Thankfully, it wasn't.
