As popular as "Changes" and "Mercy" are with folks who like our occasional Depeche Mode bent -- this is the truest influence. While this track lacks the pop polish and slick production of those two, it tinkers with the Depeche Mode harmonies and is a throwback to DM's darker cuts. "And I think I just might disappear. I'm just not here. It's one of those days when I feel invisible. It's one of those days when I am just not there." |
