Martyr (song)

"Martyr" is a song by English electronic music band Depeche Mode.It was released as a non-album single to promote the band's eighth greatest hits compilation album, The Best of, Volume 1.There was also a limited-edition double 12-inch single featuring four remixes of previous Depeche Mode tracks.[3] The song, originally titled "Martyr for Love", is a well-known missing track from the Playing the Angel sessions.[7] The band subsequently rejected this video, which was replaced with a video montage released on 8 October 2006 and directed by Robert Chandler, in which Gahan seemingly sings the song, this being achieved by the succession of short clips of Depeche Mode's videos in which Gahan either says the words featured in the lyrics of "Martyr", or he lip-syncs the lyrics, meaning that his lips move in a similar fashion of that when the words in the lyrics are being said.
