"Cover Me" is a song by English electronic music band Depeche Mode, released on October 6, 2017, via Columbia label. It is the third single from their fourteenth studio album, Spirit.[1][2] The released single consists of several remixes of songs "Cover Me" and "So Much Love".[3] It is the fourth single in the band's catalog that is co-written by lead singer Dave Gahan. It is the last single to feature Andy Fletcher before his death in 2022.

Background

"Cover Me" was one of four songs Dave Gahan co-wrote. "Cover Me" also ended up being one of the most cinematic compositions on Spirit. According to an interview with keyboard programmer Matrixxman, working on "Cover Me" was initially difficult but Gahan inspired everyone to get very creative on that track.[4] Gahan also stated in a video on their YouTube channel that he always envisioned the song as having two halves, a lyrical first half and a more spacious instrumental based second half.[5]

Depeche Mode uploaded a live version of "Cover Me" to their YouTube channel days before the official release of the Live Spirits Soundtrack on 22 June 2020.

Reception

Saby Reyes-Kulkarni of Pitchfork stated, "On 'Cover Me', Gore's haunting Lanois-esque guitar twang allows you to close your eyes and picture yourself under the Northern lights Gahan sings about."[6]
