    "comment": "“Never Let Me Down Again” – Depeche Mode: 1987 single from Music for the Masses, written by Martin Gore and famously arranged by Alan Wilder to feel like a jet taking off, with live shows turning the outro into that huge sea of fans waving arms in unison.  Gore has said it’s essentially about drugs and fleeing reality with a “best friend” you maybe shouldn’t trust, which makes its recent use in The Last of Us hit even harder.",
