Song Details
The common single version of "In Your Room", the "Zephyr Mix", is radically different from the original version on the album. The music is completely redone by Butch Vig of Nirvana fame. Other official single remixes include the "Apex Mix", produced by Brian Eno, which sounds closer to the album version, and Johnny Dollar's "The Jeep Rock Mix", which appears on Remixes 81 - 04.
During concerts in 1993 and early 1994, the album version was played live. From the 1998 Singles Tour onwards, the "Zephyr Mix" of the song has been played live instead. However, in Tour of the Universe a mixture of both versions was played live.
The single was released in a special foldout digipak with room to hold three different versions of the "In Your Room" single: the original release (CDBong24), a live disc (LCDBong24) and a remix disc (XLCDBong24). The b-sides consist of a remix of album track "Higher Love", along with some live songs from the Devotional Tour.
Depeche Mode's first appearance on the "Late Show with David Letterman", during a stop on their "The Singles Tour", featured them playing "In Your Room.
In 2003, Fallon Bowman's band, Amphibious Assault, covered the song for their debut LP District Six.

Famous quotes containing the words song and/or details:
“Deep in the sun-searched growths the dragonfly
Hangs like a blue thread loosened from the sky—
So this winged hour is dropped to us from above.
Oh! clasp we to our hearts, for deathless dower,
This close-companioned inarticulate hour
When twofold silence was the song of love.”
—Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1828–1882)
“Working women today are trying to achieve in the work world what men have achieved all along—but men have always had the help of a woman at home who took care of all the other details of living! Today the working woman is also that woman at home, and without support services in the workplace and a respect for the work women do within and outside the home, the attempt to do both is taking its toll—on women, on men, and on our children.”
—Jeanne Elium (20th century)
