==Music video== The music video for "Freelove" was directed by John Hillcoat and filmed in New Orleans, Louisiana in July 2001 while the group was on tour in the United States. The video features Depeche Mode performing on a parade float riding through a poor neighborhood. The impoverished residents follow the float and climb on it to dance. The video ends with the float and everybody disappearing, except for two people kissing. It has never been made available on a public release until the Video Singles Collection (2016).
