"Blasphemous Rumours"/"Somebody" is Depeche Mode's twelfth UK single and first double A-side single, released on 29 October 1984. Both A-side songs are from the album ''Some Great Reward''. "Somebody" is the first single with Martin Gore as lead vocals, one of only three. The music videos for both songs were directed by Clive Richardson. The single charts number 16 in UK single charts. ==Song information== The verses to "Blasphemous Rumours" tell two very different stories - one of a 16-year-old girl who attempts suicide but fails, and another of an 18-year-old girl who is killed in a car accident after experiencing a religious revival (possibly the same girl, this remains unclear). The chorus uses these incidents to conclude, "I don't want to start any blasphemous rumours / but I think that God's got a sick sense of humour / and when I die, I expect to find him laughing." When Depeche Mode announced that they were planning to release "Blasphemous Rumours" as a single, pushback from the religious community resulted, and consequently, the band decided as a compromise to release the single as a double-A side with "Somebody." "Somebody", which was sung by Martin Gore in the studio in the nude, includes one of Gore's "little twists," where the song builds as if it's a song about finding your perfect love, only to have him reveal at the end "though things like this make me sick / in a case like this I'll get away with it." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Blasphemous Rumours / Somebody」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
