MUSIC THAT MATTERS – “Lyric of the Day”

(Music Cut #1)

On March 19th of 1990…

Depeche Mode released

their 7th and most successful album –

Violator.

(Music Cut #2)

One of the songs on the album “Personal Jesus” marked a shift –

built around a guitar riff

instead of a synthesizer.

But the way they introduced the song…

that was even stranger.

(Music Cut #3)

Before the song was released,

the band placed a classified ad

in UK newspapers.

It simply read:

“Your own personal Jesus.”

And included a phone number.

If you called it—

you heard the song.

LYRIC OF THE DAY:
“Lift up the receiver, I’ll make you a believer
I will deliver, you know I’m a forgiver.” – Depeche Mode
