Week Ten: Depeche Mode - "In Your Room" - Songs of Faith and Devotion

Although this would not exactly be considered an obscure DM song, I have selected it for a very specific reason.  Sadly, I have only seen DM one time.  It was back in 1998 at Reunion Arena for The Singles tour.  That night, the energy seemed very off.  The band seemed bored; the crowd was lame, and I was there with my @sshole ex.

The highlight of the show, for me, was when the band played this song.  I'm not sure why exactly, but it felt like this was the one song that Dave and the guys chose to place all of their energy and magic into - well, this one and "World in My Eyes".  I was so disappointed by the entire evening that I did not even purchase a shirt to commemorate the event, which is very out-of-character for me - because I always purchase a shirt!!

Regardless, I still adore DM.  They have given me too many wonderful songs, videos, and memories for me to hold one pitiful evening against them.  I <3 DM!!!

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
