Though not commercially released as a single, “Halo” was pushed to radio stations in 1990 and peaked at #28 on Billboard’s Alternative Songs chart that summer.
Songwriter Martin Gore told NME “Halo” was written about giving in to immorality, yet still feeling a sense of wrongfulness about it.

[Verse 1]
You wear guilt
Like shackles on your feet
Like a halo in reverse
I can feel
The discomfort in your seat
And in your head, it's worse

[Chorus]
And when our worlds they fall apart
When the walls come tumbling in
Though we may deserve it
It will be worth it

And fall into my arms
[Chorus]
And when our worlds they fall apart
When the walls come tumbling in
Though we may deserve it
It will be worth it
And when our worlds they fall apart
When the walls come tumbling in
Though we may deserve it
It will be worth it
And when our worlds they fall apart
When the walls come tumbling in
Though we may deserve it
It will be worth it
And when our worlds they fall apart
When the walls come tumbling in
Though we may deserve it
It will be worth it
Halo was written by Martin L. Gore.
Halo was produced by Depeche Mode & Flood.
Depeche Mode released Halo on Mon Mar 19 1990.
Songwriter Martin Gore told NME:
