The story behind the song

"Somebody" is a song from Depeche Mode's 1984 album Some Great Reward. It was released as a double A-side single, a decision made partly to offset potential controversy from the religious themes of the other song on the single. This track offers a more intimate and personal side of the band, known for their electronic sound. Playing this song invites you to explore a gentler, more searching emotional landscape.
