Funhouse - Never Let Me Down Again (Depeche Mode Cover)

*I was informed that this was incorrectly labeled as a Fields of Nephilim song and it is actually Funhouse - disregard the graphics* This is a cover of “Never Let Me Down Again“ -- Depeche Mode’s nineteenth UK single, released on 24 August 1987, and the second single for the then upcoming album Music for the Masses. The song was later redone by Smashing Pumpkins. This version by Fields of Nephilim is favored by many over all other cover versions of the song. Fans tend to say the lyrics refer to the emotional highs gained from when the song-writer ingested a recreational drug. Indeed, the musical notes of high and low sequences tend to alternate into matching the surging waves of euphoria while under a drug influence intoxification. The lyrical wording is said to convey this, in that its key line of “never let me down“ means that the pleasure-response is ’hopefully’ re-occurant. However the typically downward aftermath of drug-use could be the overall point the lyricist was making in that the drug binge is always a short-term one.
