WORLD IN MY EYES
"World in My Eyes" is Depeche Mode's 26th UK single, released on 17 September 1990, and the fourth and final single for the album Violator. "Martin [Gore] did the demo on his own," recalled Andy Fletcher. "I don't remember it standing out when we heard it then. But somehow, in the studio, it all came together brilliantly. . . . Whenever I'm asked which of our tracks is my favourite, I always say 'World In My Eyes'." (More from Wikipedia)
"Personal Jesus" was the first single from the band's 1990 album Violator that propelled them to worldwide success, reaching #7 on the Billboard Hot 200 Albums chart. Other singles from the album were "Enjoy the Silence", "Policy of Truth" and "World in My Eyes". The album's liner notes made clear that faith was important to the band, as did their next album, Songs of Faith and Devotion – which topped the album charts in the US and the UK – and the Devotional Tour that supported the album. Depeche Mode has sold 100 million albums, making them the most successful electronic band in history and one of the biggest selling rock bands of all time.
