Playing the Angel is Depeche Mode's first album to feature Dave Gahan as co-writer. It was supported by the Touring the Angel tour. “ Playing the Angel ” is the eleventh studio album by English electronic music band Depeche Mode, released in the United Kingdom on 17 October 2005 by Mute Records and in the United States and Canada on 18 October by Sire Records and Reprise Records. It appears on The Videos 86>98 and the DVD of The Best of Depeche Mode Volume 1. There is also a shortened one with just the Single version of the song, without the dancing shoes. The original version, from Strange uses the "Split Mix", minus the intro and outro, and during the EBM portion, Gahan's pair of dancing shoes are shown walking without anyone wearing them, before someone puts them on and wears them to dance. There are two music videos for "Never Let Me Down Again". It is now customary at Depeche Mode shows for fans to wave their arms in the air during the coda section of "Never Let Me Down Again." On 8 November 2001, shortly after their final Exciter Tour concert in Mannheim, Germany, the band played "Never Let Me Down Again" during the MTV Europe Music Awards in Frankfurt, which aired in the US on MTV2. Notable in the 101 video is when Dave Gahan waves his arms in the air toward the end of the song, and the sold out crowd of 60,000 mimics Gahan's movements. Shows during Depeche Mode's 1988 tour were often concluded with this song. The song became a favourite among fans, especially live. The cover art features fragments of a Soviet map of Russia and Europe, with different fragments used for the different editions of the single. A relatively moderate hit in the UK at number 22, it was a smash in West Germany, where it hit number 2, and a Top 10 success in several other European countries (Sweden, Switzerland, etc.). "Never Let Me Down Again" is Depeche Mode's nineteenth UK single, released on 24 August 1987, and the second single for the then upcoming album Music for the Masses. He said he made it that way because he was sure frontman Dave Gahan was going to die before Depeche Mode could release more songs. Corbijn described the video as a retrospective of the work he had done with Depeche Mode. The music video for "In Your Room" (using the Zephyr mix) was directed by Anton Corbijn and features references to the videos for "Strangelove" (a model posing in her underwear), "I Feel You" (a woman dressed as Dave Gahan, wearing a pinstripe suit, sunglasses, and a wig), "Walking in My Shoes" (the bird costume), "Halo" (the people wearing clown makeup), "Enjoy the Silence" (Dave Gahan dressed as a king, holding the folding chair while walking in the road), "Personal Jesus" (the bandmembers wearing cowboy hats), "Condemnation" (the white dress with ribbons on it that one of the women wears) and "Never Let Me Down Again" (tea drinking). It reached number 8 on the UK Singles Chart. "In Your Room" is Depeche Mode's fourth and final single from their 1993 album Songs of Faith and Devotion, and the 30th UK single overall, released on 10 January 1994 (UK) /18 January (USA). MTV edited out some suggestive mouth movements of Martin Gore during the bridge and replaced it with some other footage from the video.
It's about how Elvis Presley was her man and her mentor and how often that happens in love relationships how everybody's heart is like a god in some way, and that's not a very balanced view of someone, is it?" The Anton Corbijn-directed music video for "Personal Jesus" is his first Depeche Mode video in colour, and features the band in a ranch (suggested to appear as a brothel), placed in the Tabernas Desert of Almería, in Spain. According to songwriter Martin Gore: "It's a song about being a Jesus for somebody else, someone to give you hope and care.
The song was inspired by the book Elvis and Me by Priscilla Presley. The song was the first single to make the US Top 40 for the band since their 1984 single "People Are People" and was their first gold-certified single in the US (quickly followed by the band's subsequent single, "Enjoy the Silence").
