"In Your Room" is Depeche Mode's fourth and final single for the album "Songs of Faith and Devotion", released on January 10, 1994 and January 18 in the USA.

ong details

The common single version of "In Your Room", the "Zephyr Mix", is radically different from the original version on the album. The music is completely redone by Butch Vig of Nirvana fame, with only Dave Gahan's vocals remaining unchanged. Other official single remixes include the "Apex Mix", produced by Brian Eno, which sounds closer to the album version and Johnny Dollar's "The Jeep Rock Mix", which appears on Remixes 81 - 04.

During concerts in 1993 and early 1994, the album version was played live. From the 1998 Singles Tour onwards, the "Zephyr Mix" of the song has been played live instead.

The single was released in a special foldout digipak with room to hold three different versions of the "In Your Room" single: the original release (CDBong24), a live disc (LCDBong24) and a remix disc (XLCDBong24). The b-sides consist of a remix of album track "Higher Love", along with some live songs from the "Devotional Tour".

In 2003, Fallon Bowman's band, Amphibious Assault, covered the song for their debut LP "District Six".

Music video

The music video for "In Your Room" was directed by Anton Corbijn and features references to the "I Feel You", "Walking in My Shoes", "Halo", "Enjoy the Silence", "Personal Jesus" and "Condemnation" videos. Corbijn described the video as a retrospective at the work he had done with Depeche Mode. He said he made it that way because he was sure frontman Dave Gahan was going to die before Depeche Mode could release more songs.

The video features a woman, who sometimes is not wearing any clothes. The video was never aired at all on MTV in the US since the single was not a hit there.

This is the last Depeche Mode single with Alan Wilder as a band member, and thus the last music video he appears in.
