"I Feel You" kicked off Songs of Faith and Devotion, Depeche Mode's eighth album, as its first single in 1993, and it's the sound of an electronic band learning to sweat. Martin L. Gore wrote it, the band produced it with Flood, and Mark "Spike" Stent helped them mix it into a filthy, grinding electronic rock stomp, all distortion and strut, with Dave Gahan howling like a preacher who's lost his flock and found a better offer.

It became one of the band's highest-charting singles anywhere, and Anton Corbijn's video picked up nominations at both the MTV awards and the Brits.
