    "New Life" is the second UK single by Depeche Mode recorded at Blackwing Studios, originally released on 13 June 1981. It was not commercially released in the United States.

    There were two versions of the song available. The 7" version would later become the "album version", as it would eventually appear on the UK version of Speak & Spell, released in October 1981, and a 12" "remix," which differs from the "album version" in that it has a different intro, intensely percussive and harder, and an added synth part in the "solo" vocal section in the middle of the song, which is not present on the 7" mix. The "remix" would later appear on the US version of Speak & Spell.

    The single became Depeche Mode's breakthrough hit in the UK, peaking at #11. On 25 June 1981, the band performed "New Life" during their debut on the BBC's Top of the Pops. The band would perform the song twice more on the show, on 16 July and 30 July 1981.

    The b-side, "Shout!", is the first Depeche Mode song to get a 12" extended remix, called the "Rio Remix". This mix would later appear on the remix compilation Remixes 81–04, released in 2004. It is the earliest recorded song available on the compilation.

    New Life (David Murray album)

It was released in 1985 and features performances by Murray, Baikida Carroll, Hugh Ragin, Craig Harris, John Purcell, Adegoke Steve Colson, Wilber Morris and Ralph Peterson, Jr..

    Reception

    The Allmusic review by Scott Yanow awarded the album 4 stars stating "The tunes ("Train Whistle," "Morning Song," "New Life" and "Blues in the Pocket") are each fairly memorable -- the themes are strong than usual -- and as usual, the Octet features the right combination of adventurous solos and colorful writing. Recommended.".

    PLAYLIST TIME:

    New Life

    by: Blind Melon

    Suddenly everyting is fainting
    Falling from a broken ladder's rung
    There's a jolt exhilarating from the phone I'm holding
    I hear the words of what I'll become
    How eager the hands that reach for love
    'Cause now there's a new life to behold
    And its the biggest part of my life to unfold
    'Cause now she's telling me she'll have my baby
    And a faithful father I am to be
    When I'm looking into the eyes of our own baby
    Will it bring new life into me?
    Deep inside must defy arrangement
    I've been a stumblin' from the startin' blocks 'til now
    And I'll always try to justify the way I've been behaving
    Should I teach one not to know how?
    How to live in a world we live in now
    'Cause there's a beautiful life to behold
    And its the biggest part of my life to unfold
    'Cause now she's telling me she'll have my baby
    And a father figure I am to be
    When I'm looking into the eyes of our own baby
    Will it bring new life into me?
    Oh please
    Oh please
    Oh please
    Bring new life
    Bring new life
