Michael McCain – Condemnation

Associated artists/bands: Michael McCain

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.”.

I am the founder and main author of the international synth pop magazine Electrozombies. Since my childhood I have been a devotee of melancholic, gloomy electronic music. Started in the late 70s with minimal electro band Kraftwerk and become a real synth pop fan through Depeche Mode's hit 'People Are People' in 1984.

I took over the depechemodecovers.com website in 2024 and relaunched it. As a big fan of Depeche Mode and cover versions, I dedicate myself passionately to this project.

Lyrics of "Condemnation"

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
