Depeche Mode - Question of Lust

2007-02-04 67

"A Question of Lust" is Depeche Mode's sixteenth UK single, released on April 14, 1986. It is the second Depeche Mode single using Martin Gore on vocals, and the first to specifically be its own single (the first Martin-sung single, "Somebody," was released as a double-A side with "Blasphemous Rumours").

The B-Side is an instrumental called "Christmas Island", named after the island of the same name. It is penned by both Martin Gore and Alan Wilder. It was produced by Depeche Mode themselves.

The music video for "A Question of Lust" brings the return of Clive Richardson. It is also his last video with the band. At the beginning of the video, you see Martin running around naked at a club with bandmates and staff trying to cover him up.

The following single is similarly titled "A Question of Time", however it has nothing to do with it, neither lyrically nor musically.
