Sounds of the Universe is the twelfth studio album by English electronic music band Depeche Mode, released on 17 April 2009 by Mute Records. It was supported by the 2009–10 concert tour Tour of the Universe. Three singles were released from the album; “Wrong”, “Peace”, and a double A-side of “Fragile Tension” and “Hole to Feed”. “Perfect” was also released in the US as a promotional single.
As with the previous album, Playing the Angel, Dave Gahan has once again written three songs with Christian Eigner and Andrew Phillpott: “Hole to Feed”, “Come Back” and “Miles Away/The Truth Is”. “Spacewalker” and the bonus track “Esque” are instrumentals. Martin Gore shares lead singing duties with Gahan on “In Chains”, “Peace” and “Little Soul”, he sings the lead of “Jezebel” and the B-side “The Sun and the Moon and the Stars” on the second disc of the deluxe box set. The B-side “Oh Well” is the first track ever to be co-written by Gore and Gahan. The album ends with a short hidden instrumental reprise from the song “Wrong” after the final track “Corrupt” concludes.
The album was released by Capitol Records in the United States and by EMI in Canada, marking the first time in the band’s catalog that saw distribution from EMI within North America, where previous albums were released by Sire Records and Reprise Records, a division of Warner Music Group.Wikipedia®
Depeche Mode – Ghost
Depeche Mode – Ghost Lyrics
I’m the ghost in your house
Calling your name
My memory lingers
You’ll never be the same
I’m the hole in your heart
I’m the stain in your bed
The phantom in your fingers
The voices in your head
One touch is all it took
To draw you in
To leave you hooked
One kiss, you paid the price
You had a taste
Of paradise
Now you’re running in circles
Chasing imaginary footsteps
Reaching for shadows
In the bed where I once slept
I’m the ghost in your house
Calling your name
My memory lingers
You’ll never be the same
I’m the hole in your heart
I’m the stain in your bed
The phantom in your fingers
The voices in your head
One thought is all it takes
You lose control
You make mistakes
This pain will never leave
Until I die
You’ll always grieve
Now you’re falling to pieces
Seeing my face wherever you go
Talking to strangers
From a place they’ll never know
