The artist about the cover version: “Michael McCain has reinterpreted Depeche Mode’s “Condemnation” in a powerful and sound-intensive way, adding new dimensions to the classic track. The reinterpretation, which serves as a tribute and memorial to the late Andy Fletcher, was produced during a challenging time but stands as a testament to McCain’s respect for the band. While McCain prefers to remain out of the public eye, his passion for music persists, with future projects and remixes in the pipeline.”.
Condemnation
Tried
Here on the stand
With the book in my hand
And truth on my side
Accusations
Lies
Hand me my sentence
I’ll show no repentance
I’ll suffer with pride
If for honesty
You want apologies
I don’t sympathize
If for kindness
You substitute blindness
Please open your eyes
Condemnation
Why
Because my duty
Was always to beauty
And that was my crime
Feel elation
High
To know I can trust this
Fix of injustice
Time after time
If you see purity
As immaturity
Well it’s no surprise
If for kindness
You substitute blindness
Please open your eyes
