Depeche Mode - Before We Drown


 

Since Depeche Mode is everywhere today, here's my little contribution with this track taken from their brand new album 'Memento Mori'. PS: I haven't been able to upload the video on my YouTube channel because Sony has blocked the audio there, so the video has been posted on Vimeo instead, sorry for the inconvenience :(
 

Update: It seems that Sony has removed the audio block for most countries on YouTube, so the video is now available on my YouTube channel :)

Taken from the album 'Core', released almost 2 years ago (19 March 2021), 'The Future Your Past' is a beautiful song by The Saint Paul, the German synthpop band formed by Marc Schleser, Paul Kuhs & Robin Podolsky.
