Formed in 1980, Depeche Mode stands as a towering figure in electronic music, fusing synth-pop with dark lyricism.

A track recorded during the sessions for their 2023 album Memento Mori but left unreleased has now been digitally released in October 2025.

Co-written by Martin Gore and Richard Butler of The Psychedelic Furs, it features lyrics that calmly depict the impermanence of human existence and a quiet resignation toward the end.

Weaving in fixation on the past and skepticism toward religious salvation, it distills the album’s themes of loss and mortality into an even more minimal form.

The song was used over the end credits of the documentary film DEPECHE MODE: M, which premiered in New York in June 2025.

The film received a worldwide release in October, and a physical package—paired with a live recording—is slated for December.

With its restrained production and Dave Gahan’s low-register vocals, the track leaves a serene afterglow.

A perfect listen when you want to contemplate life’s transience.
