Depeche Mode 'Walking In My Shoes' 1993

Depeche Mode "Walking in My Shoes"

Single Released on 26 April 1993 in the UK

The second single from eighth studio album, "Songs Of Faith And Devotion".

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.
