I love Depeche Mode! I saw them in concert during their Exciter tour - AND I HAD FRONT ROW SEATS!! I can't tell how what a great time I had!:D
As for a favourite song, try as I might, I couldn't pick just one.:( There are too many I enjoy. But seeing as we are all posting lyrics here, I add this to the thread:
----------
Behind the Wheel
My little girl
Drive anywhere
Do what you want
I don't care
Tonight
I'm in the hands of fate
I hand myself
Over on a plate
Now
Oh little girl
There are times when I feel
I'd rather not be
The one behind the wheel
Come
Pull my strings
Watch me move
I do anything
Please
Sweet little girl
I prefer
You behind the wheel
And me the passenger
Drive
I'm yours to keep
Do what you want
I'm going cheap
Tonight
You're behind the wheel tonight
--------
Yay! I love hearing that song. :)
As for Depeche Mode's most recent album, "Playing the Angel," I do like it. Just like their past several releases, it took a little while to grow on me, but there were a few songs that I loved right off the bat, like "Suffer Well" and "Precious" (both of which were released as singles). And did you know DM got a Grammy nomination for "Suffer Well" in the "Best Dance Recording" category? Great news!
Thanks for starting a Depeche Mode thread! They are one of my all-time favourite bands. :)

I was very young when they were in their prime. Probably 10 or so. We didn't have music like that in my native country (Pretty much only our own music) until the early 90s as we were communist until 1989.

Yes I like them very much, unfortunately I haven't seen them in concert. I like their song 'Strange Love' and 'Enjoy the Silence'. Their new album is fine but not as good as the old ones. I was 17 when I listened 1st to them and I was fascinated.

I too was 10 when they were in there prime... and I wanted to go to a concert so badly. "Shake the Disease" is one of my top favorites as well.

Yes, I like Depeche Mode's Somebody.It has been revived by few of the artists here in our country.I was just still a kid when they were very popular.I was mainly influenced by my cousin.
________________________SOMEBODY
I want somebody to share
Share the rest of my life
Share my innermost thoughts
Know my intimate details
Someone who'll stand by my side
And give me support
And in return
She'll get my support
She will listen to me
When I want to speak
About the world we live in
And life in general
Though my views may be wrong
They may even be perverted
She'll hear me out
And won't easily be converted
To my way of thinking
In fact she'll often disagree
But at the end of it all
She will understand me
Aaaahhhhh....
I want somebody who cares
For me passionately
With every thought and
With every breath
Someone who'll help me see things
In a different light
All the things I detest
I will almost like
I don't want to be tied
To anyone's strings
I'm carefully trying to steer clear of
Those things
But when I'm asleep
I want somebody
Who will put their arms around me
And kiss me tenderly
Though things like this
Make me sick
In a case like this
I'll get away with it
Aaaahhhhh....
It fairly relates to my life now.

haven't seen them in concert, love their newest album, love all their work lol I got hooked on them in 1984 when Some Great Reward came out. Fav song is "It doesn't matter"
I am happy
That I have you
Even though you're not here now
I know somewhere
You are dreaming
Though it's definitely not of me
It doesn't matter
If this all shatters
Nothing lasts forever
But I'm praying
That we're staying
Together
I am warmed by
Your friendship
Even when you're far away
And I'm happy
In the knowledge
We may never see the day
When I kiss you
And you kiss me
Don't pretend you miss me
The worst kind
Of diseased mind
Is one filled with jealousy
If we should meet again
Don't try to solve the puzzle
Just lay down next to me
And please don't move a muscle
I will thank you
Most of all for
The respect you have for me
I'm embarrassed
It overwhelms me
Because I don't deserve any
It doesn't matter
If this all shatters
Nothing lasts forever
But I'm praying
That we're staying
Together

I love Depeche Mode. *looks over at her DM poster* Unfortunately, I don't have their newest album yet.:( I'm poor and nobody will buy it for me! As for favorite song... Oh, that's a tough one, but I think I'm going to have to go with Somebody. It's definitely up there at the very top.

I heard the new album on my flight to NY in july. There were only a few good songs. I was so disappointed.

I like that one too - it's a good song. "Words like violence
Break the silence
Come crashing in
Into my little world
Painful to me
Pierce right through me
Cant you understand
Oh my little girl
All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm"

I love ENJOY THE SILENCE..but only because Tori covered it
Words like violence
Break the silence
Come crashing in
Into my little world
Painful to me
Pierce right through me
Can't you understand
Oh my little girl
All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm
Vows are spoken
To be broken
Feelings are intense
Words are trivial
Pleasures remain
So does the pain
Words are meaningless
And forgettable
All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm
Enjoy the silence

I love Depeche Mode. Definitely in my top 3 favorite bands. I saw them last year and they were absolutely amazing. Even if I was faaaaarrr away. I was born in 1982 so I was pretty young when they were in their prime. But, my brothers listened to them. So, I was exposed to them early. My favorite song *right now* is "Tora Tora Tora". I've been listening to Speak and Spell all day!

I was born 1979 so I was quite young when they were famous. In any case a classic band which survived all the years. Love their songs such as Somebody and People are people. Influenced by my old sistr I used to listen to their songs all day. The weirdest fashion in any era..the eighties! Nu Wavers right?! But the songs are definitely addicting!

Depeche Mode is one of my top favorites. So hard to pick just one song. Maybe Just Can't Get Enough.
