This is one of the rare times Depeche Mode are making a cover and this one is for the needs of charity compilation "HELP(2)" by War Child Records."Universal Soldier" is a song written by singer-songwriter Buffy Sainte-Marie who is best known for the Academy Award-winning song "Up Where We Belong" . The first released recording was a single by The Highwaymen, released in September 1963.The song was also released on Sainte-Marie's debut album It's My Way!, in April 1964. "Universal Soldier" was not an immediate popular hit at the time of its release, but it did garner attention within the contemporary folk music community. It became a hit in 1965 when Donovan covered it on his EP of the same name, also charting for Glen Campbell that same year. Dave Gahan and Martin Gore have transformed this folk song into a dark, electrified menace. Their version bristles with rattling chains, chilling synth pads, and a heavy, deliberate beat, anchored by Gahan’s unmistakable voice.If you are a fan of Depeche Mode this one is for keep and if you are not you might become one.
