Barrel of a Gun" is Depeche Mode's 31st UK single, released on 3 February 1997 (28 January in the US), and the first single from the band's ninth studio album Ultra. The song reached number one in the Czech Republic, Hungary, Spain and Sweden while reaching the top 10 in several other countries, including Finland, Germany, Norway and the United Kingdom. In North America, the song reached number 47 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number five on the Canadian RPM Alternative 30.

Barrel Of A Gun - Underworld Soft Mix. Depeche Mode have now slimmed to a three piece of founder members Dave Gahan, Martin Gore and Andy Fletcher following the departure of Alan Wilder after their last 'Songs Of Faith And Devotion' LP and tour. The band have been working on their new material with producer Tim Simenon, and consider 'Barrel Of A Gun' to be an inspiring departure. I think 'Barrel Of A Gun' challenges what Depeche Mode have done before and that's something that I feel is really important for us," opines Dave Gahan. The video for 'Barrel Of A Gun' was filmed in London and Marrakesh. The song is taken from Depeche Mode's forthcoming new album, their first for four years, which is due for release in April 1997. 12" single (12BONG25) UK. A. A1) "Barrel Of A Gun" 05:29.

Barrel Of A Gun. Depeche Mode. Produced by Tim Simenon. Barrel Of A Gun Lyrics. Do you mean this horny creep Set upon weary feet Who looks in need of sleep That doesn't come. This twisted, tortured mess This bed of sinfulness Who's longing for some rest And feeling numb. Those two years when we were making that album and I had to go back and forth to court to prove to the judge that I’d stayed clean, it gave me this time to suddenly realize, ‘Oh, I can do this, I can crawl my way back, I can get better. And I do want to be here.

This song was written by Depeche Mode mastermind Martin Gore, but travails of lead singer Dave Gahan were certainly an inspiration. The song describes a torment and descent into madness that leaves him "staring down the barrel of a gu. In the early '90s, Gahan developed a nasty drug habit while embracing rock star excess. After a failed suicide attempt in 1995, he began work with the band on the Ultra album, but in May 1996 he nearly died after overdosing on cocaine and heroin in a Los Angeles hotel room, which halted work on the album. Gahan was charged with drug possession,. Speaking about "Barrel of a Gun" in a 2017 interview with Entertainment Weekly, he said: "It really describes the way I felt at that time: This creature that was barely existing, but somehow still thought he had it going on. Martin was spot-on with his lyrics.

As it turned out, no worries - another massive, epochal slam in the vein of songs like "Never Let Me Down Again" and "I Feel You," "Barrel From a Gun" did the business. Tim Simenon's production was note-perfect, combining heavily processed funk guitar, big beats, scratches, and whatever else could be thought appropriate. Arranged behind Gahan's anguished, powerful vocal and some creepy, effective backing vocals, it's simply, perfectly grand. Three remixes of the track appear, two courtesy of English techno outfit Underworld.
