She experiences a religious revival but is killed in a car accident aged 18 and dies.

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.' Like other songs on Some Great Reward, the song uses a dense sound with extensive sampled percussion. Vray License Keygen Free Download here. 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.'
