It’s one of the few times the group settled on an album title while making a record and stuck with it all the way through. “I just thought, ‘What a great album title for the songs that had been written already,'” he says. “A lot of the songs are going into that place of reminding ourselves that our time is fleeting, and you got to make the best of it - in a positive way.” Gore says he first heard the Latin phrase from a friend. “The direct translation is, ‘Remember that you must die,'” Gahan says via phone from Berlin, a few days before the band’s Tuesday press conference announcing Memento Mori. They embraced this idea by calling the album Memento Mori. Those two themes kept popping up when frontman Dave Gahan and singer and multi-instrumentalist Martin Gore were writing lyrics for what would become their 15th album.
