Alan Wilder, Andrew Fletcher, Martin Gore and David Gahan have created works that combine powerful guitar riffs with country references, strong rhythms and synthesized keyboards that create a welcoming atmosphere. It was not the first Depeche Mode song to use the guitar, but it was the first to make the instrument so popular. “It's about Elvis Presley being her husband and mentor and how often that happens in romantic relationships. How every human heart is like God. "We play with the divine parts of people, but people are not perfect and this is not a balanced view for anyone."
Personal Jesus is a song that has been interpreted to mean that someone, whether a ghost or an illusion, must give you hope and care.
The song was released as the lead single from Depeche Mode's 1990 seventh album, Violator, which was the most successful album of their career. Personal Jesus was a huge success with audiences and critics and topped the charts in several countries. It was the band's first song to use guitar. He also recorded other artists such as Marilyn Manson, Johnny Cash and Sammy Hagar. It was a critical and commercial success, reaching number 13 on the UK charts and number 28 on the US charts. In addition, it is the first Depeche Mode song to enter the Billboard Hot 100, the most important chart in Korea, showing great influence in Germany, France, Italy, Spain and Mexico.
The official music video for Personal Jesus was directed by Anton Corbijn, a Dutch photographer and filmmaker who has worked with Depeche Mode since 1986. The video is surrounded by members of the group, such as Almaty, such as Old West Jeans, and members of the group such as Old West.
According to Corbid, this video is a Western tank and is a criticism of religious fanaticism. The director said: "I wanted to show Depeche Mode as a band of pirates who make fun of religion." He also explained that he used black and white to contrast with the colors of the album Violator, which featured red roses on a black background on the cover. Depeche Mode was censored by MTV due to some "obscene" videos, so the version was edited with some footage from those videos.
The most popular covers and remixes of Personal Jesus include Marilyn Manson's 2004 version, Lest We Forget: The Best Of, and the country version recorded by Johnny Cash on his album American IV: The Man Comes.
