Depeche Mode
Spirit
'Spirit' is the 14th studio album by Depeche Mode. Much of the inspiration behind 'Spirit' arose from their distaste for the political climate in both the United States and the United Kingdom. One of the major differences about the delivery on 'Spirit' compared to past albums is how direct and straightforward some of the lyrics are. Depeche Mode does not only tackle political subject matter on 'Spirit.' The track 'Poison Heart' is written like a breakup song, but Gahan explained that it is not a breakup song and is about the inability to relate to other people.
