Walking in my shoes птица

Depeche Mode ‘Walking In My Shoes’ 1993

The 7″ version of «Walking in My Shoes» is not the same as the one in the Songs of Faith and Devotion album. The sound has been made more noisy and dirty, especially the drums in the verse, and the intro has been shortened. When performed live, elements of the «Grungy Gonads» mix are used in an extended intro and throughout the song.

The B-side is «My Joy», the only exclusive B-side from the «Songs Of Faith And Devotion» album, and is a rock track in the vein of «I Feel You» and «Halo».

The «Walking in My Shoes» be favourite song Alan Wilder from the album together with «In Your Room».

This was the first Depeche Mode release to not appear in a 7 inch commercial format in the UK.

Notes

If I really had to stick my neck out and choose my all time favourite song, it would probably be «Walking In My Shoes». I think it has a great melody – the words and the subject matter really complement each other perfectly. The instrumentation is also interesting.

As part of a programme of talks and films at the Mute Short Circuit event in May 2011, producer Flood delivered a presentation discussing the production of several Depeche Mode tracks, including «Walking In My Shoes»:

[If] I’m being honest, the track that I was most disappointed by – I mean, I say «most disappointed» – but it was «Walking In My Shoes», because I never felt that the recorded version lived up to the way I imagined the song could be. I know I’m probably the only person in the universe who thinks like that, but I felt that the original demo – the potential wasn’t realized, so. [1]

Xavi Martí: I’m fascinated with the darker-pretty-magical-elegant-emotive-cleanest-perfect sound of the DM song ‘Walking in My Shoes’. What was the process you used to construct this song?

A: It was constructed using an unusual method for us, i.e. jamming together. Martin played the guitar, I played bass and we ran a rhythm machine — this was just to get the basic feel for the track — and after much trial and error, the chorus bass line and guitar pattern fell into place. From that point onwards, Flood and I began to construct the various drum loops, the string arrangements, the main riff (which combined a piano and harpsichord through a distorted guitar amp) and all the other bits and pieces. By contrast, the bass line for the verses was much more problematic and in fact didn’t get written until the very last moment.

Alan Wilder said in the May 1993 issue of Keyboard magazine:

«The piano part at the beginning of ‘Walking in my Shoes’ was put through a guitar processor, which distorted it and made it more edgy. We added a harpsichord sample on top of that.»

Lyrics

I would tell you about the things they put me through

The pain I’ve been subjected to

But the Lord himself would blush

The countless feasts laid at my feet

Forbidden fruits for me to eat

But I think your pulse would start to rush

Now I’m not looking for absolution

Forgiveness for the things I do

But before you come to any conclusions

You’ll stumble in my footsteps

Keep the same appointments I kept

If you try walking in my shoes

If you try walking in my shoes

Morality would frown upon

The scapegoat fate’s made of me

But I promise now, my judge and jurors

My intentions couldn’t have been purer

I’m not looking for a clearer conscience

Peace of mind after what I’ve been through

And before we talk of any repentance

You’ll stumble in my footsteps

Keep the same appointments I kept

If you try walking in my shoes

If you try walking in my shoes

Now I’m not looking for absolution

Forgiveness for the things I do

But before you come to any conclusions

You’ll stumble in my footsteps

Keep the same appointments I kept

If you try walking in my shoes

You’ll stumble in my footsteps

Keep the same appointments I kept

If you try walking in my shoes

If you try walking in my shoes

Walking In My Shoes

Depeche Mode — «Walking In My Shoes»

Песня из восьмого альбома DM «Songs Of Faith & Devotion» 1993(c)
В апреле 1993 года выходит «Walking In My Shoes» — сингл, от которого ждали сумасшедшего успеха. Алан думал, что эта работа побьет даже рекорды «Enjoy The Silence». Этого не произошло. Успех был, конечно, потрясающим, но «Enjoy The Silence» устояла по многим показателям. Закоренелые фанаты, знавшие иных DM, так и не смогли принять новое звучание и новое настроение песен любимой команды. А «Walking In My Shoes» стал единственным синглом того периода, на котором был би-сайд.
Многие считают, что видео, которое было снято на эту песню — лучшее видео группы за многие годы существования. «Когда я услышал «Walking In My Shoes», мне мгновенно в голову пришли монашки, которые катаются на коньках!» — сказал Антон сразу после прослушивания. И результат воплощения задумки оказался на высоком уровне! Оказалось, что и Антон, и Дэйв — давние поклонники творчества великого голландского художника эпохи возрождения Иеранимуса Босха. Откуда, спросите, такие сумасшедшие сюжеты? Именно с его, Босха, картин. И женщины-птицы, и многочисленные уродцы, и смерть, и сама жизнь. Неужели нет?
История с выходом этого шедевра тоже не обошлась без скандала. Умники и умницы с добропорядочного тогда MTV узрели не совсем благопристойные кадры в готовом клипе. Ничего особенного там вообще-то не было, но клип всё же пришлось переделывать. А тем временем музыканты начинают мировое турне, самое долгое, самое удачное, но и самое разрушительное.
