A sad yet beautiful synth ballad composed by former Depeche Mode member Vince Clarke.
It reached number two in the UK Singles Chart and was included on his debut album, Upstairs at Eric's.
The contrast between the inorganic, minimalist synthesizer phrases and Alison Moyet's soulful, deep vocals is striking. The composition, which gradually exudes emotion over a monotonous track, is particularly well-crafted, even within the new wave/synthpop scene of the time.
