This song is more current than ever. Sadly.
Depeche Mode, New Dress, Original Version: https://youtu.be/0paToJYuZBk?si=nIIPtPTEj3fpEhQe

This song is about the disparity between significant global issues and the trivial matters that often receive media attention. The lyrics juxtapose serious and tragic events like murder, assults, famine, and natural disasters with the inconsequential news of Princess Diana wearing a new dress, highlighting how media can sometimes prioritize celebrity news over pressing humanitarian crises.

The chorus suggests a cynical view of the power to effect change, implying that by manipulating information ("change the facts"), one can influence public opinion ("change points of view"), which in turn can lead to political action ("change a vote") and potentially change the world. This may be interpreted as a critique of media manipulation and the superficiality of public discourse, suggesting that the focus on trivial matters distracts from more critical issues that need attention. However, the chorus could also suggest hope. Only the songwriter Martin L. Gore could answer it.

Overall, the sentiment of the song seems to be one of frustration and irony, with a possibly sardonic take on society's and media's priorities.
