When Martin moved to Berlin around 1983 he met Christina which became his second girlfriend that I know of. (First one was Anne.) They broke up around 1987.

* in your room (seizure)

In Your Room lyrics

1*2*3*4*5

"The worst memory about "In Your Room" is the making of the video. We spent a whole day in the studio filming and I probably had a lunch at some point, but it was just something really small, like half a sandwich. We finished filming at about 8 o'clock, and went back to the hotel and I forgot to eat. We went to the bar and I didn't eat.... We went out to a club and I didn't eat.... We came back and had a party in my room that went on till really late. The next day I had to get up and go to a band meeting. So I got up feeling absolutely terrible and sort of staggered to the meeting, I couldn't even stand up. I had to lie down during the meeting and that was when I went into a seizure. So whenever I see this video, I just think Oh, God'.... It brings back terrible memories." ~Martin

* arrest (denver)



On November 4 1993, in Denver Colorado, Martin was arrested and had to pay $500.

"The night before I got arrested, I had a party in my room and there were about 50 people and it was really loud. The night of the arrest, it was me and a friend and the music was really quiet. They rang me and asked me to turn it down, so I did. They rang me again and asked me to turn it down, so I turned it off. Next thing I know there's complete silence and the police knocked on the door. I stupidly opened it. They burst in, threw me on the bed and handcuffed me. There was no music whatsoever playing. I think they were out to get me for the night before. I can't remember much about it. I was really drunk at the time and it seemed like fun. The next day, when I sobered up, I realised why some of the people in there weren't too happy with me. I'd just been done for disturbing the peace." -Martin Gore
