29 years ago, Depeche Mode<\/strong> released the single “Barrel of a Gun” on February 03, 1997. Did you already know these facts?<\/p>\n\n

\u2605 “Barrel of a Gun” was the first single after three years of supposed silence.<\/p>\n\n

\u2605 According to Martin Gore, the song is about realizing who you are and that you don’t have to fit into everyone’s mold. He assumes that everyone has a predetermined path from which they can only deviate to a small extent. <\/p>\n\n

\u2605 Dave’s explanation also fits in with this, who says that the point is that you are quite limited in terms of decision-making options.<\/p>\n\n

\u2605 The single cover is by Anton Corbijn and Area.<\/p>\n\n

\u2605 In the Czech Republic, Hungary, Spain and Sweden, “Barrel of a Gun” reached number 1 in the charts. In Germany it reached number 3 and in the UK number 4. In the USA, the single made it to number 47 on the Billboard Top 100. <\/p>\n\n
