Depeche Mode - I Feel Loved 2011 (Milky Max remix) - Video N Lyrics

2011-02-24T15:32:00.000-08:00

Depeche Mode - I Feel Loved - Lyrics

It's the dark night of my soul
And temptation's taking hold
But through the pain and the suffering
Through the heartache and trembling

I feel loved
I feel loved

As the darkness closes in
In my head I hear whispering
Questioning and beckoning
But I'm not taken in

I feel loved
I feel loved

From the depths of my emptiness
Comes a feeling of inner bliss
I feel wanted, I feel desired
I can feel my soul on fire

I feel loved
I feel loved

Depeche Mode - Dreaming Of Me 2011 Video N Lyrics

2011-02-16T13:58:00.000-08:00

Dreaming of Me - song lyrics

Light switch, man switch
Film was broken only then
All the night, fused tomorrow
Dancing with a distant friend

Filming and dreaming, I picture the scene
Filming and dreaming, dreaming of me

So we left, understanding
Clean cut, so we’re sounding fast
Talked of saddness, I talked of war
I laughed and climbed the rising calm

Filming and dreaming, I picture the scene
Filming and dreaming, dreaming of me

Quickly, I remember
Fused and saw a face before
Timing reason, understanding
Like association whore

Filming and dreaming, I picture the scene
Filming and dreaming, dreaming of me

Dreaming of me (oooh, la la la ...)
Just dreaming of me
It’s only me
Just me

Depeche Mode's world tour album "Sounds Of The Universe" was a struggle from beginning to end for the band. The setlist is a mixed bag. Sounds of the Universe is relegated to only five tracks, the opening trio plus “Jezebel” and a kickass version of the Gahan-penned “Come Back”.

Depeche Mode DVD are here and played competently.

The grungy “I Feel You” blasts through the speakers intensely. “Stripped” builds up as epically as it does on record. “Never Let Me Down Again” works as the perfect main set closer, extending itself to heights it never reaches on the studio version.

The problem is that many of the songs played for the Barcelona shows have already appeared on DVD/CD. During several other tour dates, the set included “Master and Servant” and “Strangelove”, neither of which have been on a filmed release since the late ’80s.

A serene "Waiting For The Night" with the concert wraps up at the time.

Pasadena, California - Exchanging donated can foods for old Depeche Mode merchandise out of the back of the trunk of his car on the roadside on the way to the Rose Bowl where the rock band U2 is performing, Al Martinez, 47, wears a t-shirt from their 101 tour back in 1988. "I'm here to remind people going to the U2 concert tonight that Depeche Mode was the first to do it at the Rose Bowl 20 years ago," said Al Martinez. "Only when they did it, it was for charity. Asking all their fans to bring a can of food for the price of admission."Al Martinez, a fan himself of the Irish band and socially conscious leader, Bono, says they lost their heart and that are only interested in making money, while America wallows in an economic recession that rivals the Great Depression in many ways."I called my girl friend at the time (recenttly his ex-wife) and my male friends telling them about the Depeche Mode concert," said Al Martinez, recalling his invitation. "I had all my can goods ready to go. But my girlfriend didn't want to go, and my so-called buds stood me up." Al Martinez later watched the Depeche Mode concert at the Rose Bowl a year later turned into a movie, with much regret. Now roadside, Al Martinez patiently waited for a single can good donation, while his son, Michael Martinez, pulls up roadside besides him on the way to attend the U2 concert. "Hey, dad," says Michael as he approaches, wearing a U2 t-shirt; nervously placing hands in his blue jean pockets. "How's the protest going?"As the father hesitates to respond, turning away just as nervously as the son, only straitening out his homemade 'Depeche Mode' cardboard sign, and the empty food donation box instead."I'm okay," says the father, while he sniffles a couple of times. "Aren't you, ah, going to be late?""Nah, I got VIP parking," replies the son. "Hey, dad. Listen, um, I still got an extra ticket."Michael places the U2 ticket on the dashboard of his father's car. "So if you change your mind, here it is. Okay?" he says, turning to get into his car and driving away. Al Martinez wipes his nose as a tear comes to his eye, looking down, staring at a single can of green beans in the donation box. "That's all I ever wanted," says Al Martinez to himself, as he gets into his car and drives off toward the Rose Bowl, honking his car horn for his son to slow down and wait for him.

Depeche Mode gave: A great concert for 30,000 people in Peru

2009-10-14T09:20:00.000-07:00

With an electrifying show, David Gahan, Martin Gore and Andrew Fletcher made their audience (estimated in 30,000 people), who was packing the Monumental Stadium Esplanade, jump, sing and cry. The concert, part of their ‘The tour of the universe’ tour, started at 9:25am with this classic “In chains,” with Gahan's voice captivating the audience. Gahan connected inmediately with the 30,000 people, who had gathered to see the first performance of Depeche Mode in Peru. The setlist included many of the most known songs from their album ‘Sounds of the Universe’, their last production, as well as some of their most popular hits. However, it is worth noting that the performances of ‘Enjoy the Silence’, ‘Personal Jesus’ and ‘Behind the Wheel’ were the ones who actually moved the audience, turning the concert into a real party full of shouts, jumps and tears. After two hours of concert, Martin Gore closed the night putting on a Peruvian chullo, and the band said goodbye with the hit ‘Waiting for the night.’

UK tour update Soul Savers to support Depeche Mode

Returning electro rock giants Depeche Mode are set to hit the road in December, with Soulsavers due to perform alongside them.

The group were shocked to there launching a massive new world tour, however, when lead singer Dave Gahan collapsed in Athens before a show. Rushed to hospital, fans grew more concerned when the Depeche Mode star revealed that doctors had found a tumour in his stomach lining.
The singer quickly recovered to full health after undergoing an emergency operation. However Depeche Mode were kept off the road for months, losing plenty of momentum through a series of cancellations.
Now due to return to the UK for a full arena tour, Depeche Mode are set to bring the hits for their fans. Opening with a show in Glasgow's SECC venue on December 12th Depeche Mode will then travel across the country.
Finishing with a spectacular Christmas show on December 18th in Manchester's MEN Arena, Depeche Mode are set to have plenty of surprises up their sleeves. Joining them on the jaunt are acclaimed remix team Soulsavers.

Depeche Mode Some Fans Say It's the "Worst Ever"

2009-09-30T10:30:00.000-07:00

Depeche Mode "Hole to Feed"
Right now, on depechemode.com there is a 103 page thread on the band's Eric Wareheim directed video for "Hole to Feed." Frequently, the words used to describe the video are "disgusting," "tacky," "gross" and "worst ever." If this ongoing conversation is any indication of fans on the whole, then it's clear that a lot of Modies cannot stand the new clip. But why?
Could it be that the rampant tongue fighting is just too disturbing to handle or is it that the video simply doesn't fit with the image the band has created over the years? Between Black Celebration and Playing the Angel, Depeche Mode worked so frequently with Anton Corbijn (on videos, photographs and cover designs) that he might as well have been a member of the band. His sleek, seductive style became the public image of Depeche Mode, moving them far beyond the awkward early MTV look of their earlier years. How can any director fill the void left by two decades of near constant collaboration? Wareheim's borderline cringe worthy sense of humor is at odds with what Modies have come to expect from the band. At the same time, though, the video proves that Depeche Mode isn't afraid to push the buttons of its fanbase. Whether or not it works is still up for debate. And so, the question remains, what do you think of "Hole to Feed"?

‘Sounds’ of Mediocrity Depeche Mode

2009-09-26T03:45:00.000-07:00

The men from Basildon, England are back with their first album in three years. “Sounds of the Universe” is touted as a return to form for Depeche Mode, with the use of several analog synths and drum machines. Unfortunately, this back-to-basics technique only serves to further highlight the averageness that Depeche Mode has become comfortable with.
It is impossible to not have heard Depeche Mode by now, the band having been an work for everything from hip hop to modern bands like The Killers. As the forefront of the electro rock scene, Depeche Mode rose to great heights, such as playing for 80,000 people at the Rose Bowl in 1988 and even inciting a riot in Los Angeles at a Wherehouse signing in 1990 after the release of its classic album “Violator.”
After a four year break that saw lead singer Dave Gahan overdosing on drugs, Depeche Mode returned one member down but seemingly recharged after the excess of the 1990s with its album “Ultra.” However, “Ultra” was a middling release that failed to reach the creative heights of “Violator” or its previous album “Songs of Faith and Devotion,” and many pointed to the loss of Alan Wilder as the cause.
Wilder was widely reported as the one first in the studio and the last one out. His ability to polish songs until golden was why fans, even now, cry for his return; the other band members were remarkably less interested in the production side of things.
This brings us back to the present with “Sounds of the Universe,” and nowhere else is the want for Alan Wilder heard more than here. “Sounds of the Universe,” the band’s 12th studio album, is, in one word, “comfortable.” In two words, it’s “too comfortable.” The excitement is gone, and the band gives fans what they think they expect: dirty synths and dark lyrics. Best viewed as a companion album to its last venture, “Playing the Angel,” it takes everything bad about that album and makes another album out of it.
“Sounds of the Universe” matches that by failing to produce any true songs that mesh together the best of what Depeche Mode had to offer: inventive sounds, catchy hooks and great vocals. No fan could be faulted for comparing this release to the rest of its catalog. In the 1980s, particularly with the band’s heralded releases “Black Celebration” and “Some Great Reward,” Depeche Mode was not content with what was and strived to find new sounds that divine, with Alan Wilder at the forefront of the movement.
Nowadays, it seems like the songs are made to fit the synths. Comprised of 13 songs, the album sounds as if it was made of one song. Synthesizers, which provide the chance to make music out of anything, even hitting a pipe with a wrench, should make for interesting songs that take advantage of that power.
Instead, Depeche Mode opted to use what feels like the pre sets. Simply put, the band members are not even trying anymore, and they settle for what is good enough but nothing more. They do not grind the song down to find the album, instead allowing for songs like “Hole to Feed” to stagnate in a pool of odd bleeps and bloops that sound more like they came from a video game than of the imagination of an almost 30 year old band.
The album begins with a long confluence of analog sounds that assault the ears but resemble something like trumpets heralding a return back to synths, yet the album fails to live up to its introduction. The album’s first single “Wrong” is the only memorable track, featuring a catchy hook, catchy lyrics and a strong vocal performance from Gahan. The rest of the songs blend together in averageness, and one would be hard pressed to try remembering which title belongs with which song, a problem from which the entire album suffers. Depeche Mode’s fans know it could do better.

Older and wiser, Bob Mould still wants to dance

2009-09-20T07:48:00.000-07:00

The beer gut is gone, and so is the sebaceous pile of hair. In fact, anyone who knew Bob Mould as the disheveled lead singer of Minneapolis punk band Hüsker Dü in the 1980s would just recognize him now looking lean, sporting a scholarly beard and speaking in complete sentences. "Isn't it funny how that happens?" he says, calling from his recently home in Washington, D.C. "Do you think it might have had anything to do with the alcohol and drugs and being on the road?"

But it's not just Mould's current acquisition of designer polo shirts that has thrown people off. Since his powerhouse trio imploded in 1988, the 48 year old songwriter has built up one of the most interesting resumes in rock 'n' roll, highlighted by experimental techno albums, writing scripts for World Championship Wrestling and keeping a tell all blog.
Sure, he's also played to form along the way as the former frontman for roaring three piece Sugar and now as a revered solo artist, but for the past six years or so, Mould's most unexpected endeavor has kept him the busiest a gay dance party called Blowoff.
Started as an experiment with dance music producer Richard Morel when he moved to D.C., Mould's speculation quickly grew into a popular monthly party for hundreds of shirtless, sweaty men at the 9:30 Club. The duo subsequently decided to take it on the road, expanding into cities like New York, Chicago and Atlanta. On Saturday, Blowoff celebrates its first anniversary in San Francisco at Slim's.
"I started listening to a lot of electronic music out of boredom with guitar rock," Mould says. He roped Morel, who has worked with Depeche Mode and the Killers, into the deal because he convinced him it would be a good way to meet new people. "I didn't actually leave the house much," Morel says. Luckily, Mould delivered on his promise: "We met a lot of people."
The party boasts an eclectic playlist, with the tag team DJs spinning everything from indie rock and electro pop to straight up house and, well, maybe even a little Kelly Clarkson. "You never know what you're going to get," Morel says.
"I used to be a college radio DJ," Mould says. "I've always played the things I needed people to hear."
In 2006, the duo collaborated on an album called "Blowoff" that they would play live at the parties. Now most of the performance is left up to Morel's partner, Nick Lopata, who creates visuals on a laptop in time with the music using looped scenes from films, television shows and archival footage from the Library of Congress.
"The gay community used to be actually on the cutting edge of dance music until 10 years ago, and then something fell off," Mould says. "It's been our goal to get people back on plate."
He hasn't completely turned his back on the rock world. Mould released a guitar based solo album, "Life and Times," earlier this year and has shows lined up with noise merchants No Age and Dinosaur Jr. He's also playing the Treasure Island Music Festival next month.
So how do the two distinct worlds fit together?
"They really are the same thing, and I had no idea until the last couple of years," Mould says. "A lot of people that used to come to Hüsker and Sugar shows now come to Blowoff. I always suspected the hardcore scene had more homos than I thought. They were always in the crowd, and they were outnumbered. I have no idea how it ended up going full circle, but for that I'm really grateful." {lgsbox}

Depeche Mode: Gets happy after years of turmoil

2009-08-22T03:03:00.000-07:00

Andy Fletcher was agitated about the dark forecast last week.
Fletcher was on the phone from New York City, a stop on Depeche Mode’s "Sounds of the Universe Tour."
The band was to accomplih at Lollapalooza in Chicago the next day, but the forecast projected thunderstorms.
"Wherever Depeche Mode plays, it rains," he mused.
For almost 30 years, Depeche Mode, which plays Superpages.com in Dallas on Saturday, has covered its minor-key tsunamis on conferences. Apart from Fletcher, lead singer songwriter Dave Gahan and songwriter-vocalist-guitarist-keyboardist Martin Gore round out the lineup of the groundbreaking electronica band.
The band started as an electronic pop quartet, but when Vince Clarke left in 1981 (and at last formed Erasure with Andy Bell) and Alan Wilder joined, the music biggest.
Over the course of several albums (1987’s Music for the Masses, 1990’s Violator and 1993’s Songs of Faith and Devotion), the band’s sound ecquired into a complex and layered soundscape of rhythms and sensual melodies, adorn on the songs Behind the Wheel, Halo, Personal Jesus, I Feel You and Walking in My Shoes.
Gore’s emotional lyrics center on euphoric and hurt relationships, redemption, masochism and addiction, including Strangelove, Never Let Me Down Again, Clean, Mercy in You and In Your Room.
Sometimes those dark clouds have hung over the band. In the mid 1990s, Wilder deviated the band, Gahan had a much advertised battle with heroin, Gore endured several seizures and Fletcher had a nervous breakdown.
After Gahan completed rehab for his cure addiction, the band regrouped and recorded 1997’s Ultra, which was followed by Exciter and Playing the Angel. On these three albums, as well as on the band’s 12th studio album, Sounds of the Universe, Depeche Mode has moved away from its trademark melodies to more minimalist electronica.
During the holocene telephone interview, Fletcher talked about the band’s sound, Gahan’s songwriting with Depeche Mode and the group’s new working vibe.

World in My Eyes is your best loved Depeche Mode song?

Yes. It encompresses what Depeche Mode is about, the ditty, the riff, the production, the words. When we play that song live, we sometimes look at each other and are like, 'What have we done here?’

Depeche Mode cancel performance here tonight

2009-08-15T12:33:00.000-07:00

wearing more black, if you aren't already. Depeche Modehas canceled its concert here tonight at Cricket Wireless AmphitheatrE. The reason? Lead singer Dave Gahan is under doctor's orders to "continue on complete noisy rest."Depeche Mode also canceled its Aug. 12 Shoreline Amphitheatre appearance up near San Jose for the same reason. However, the English mope etronica band will perform its two sold out agreement at the Hollywood Bowl on Sunday and Monday, according to a press release from Live Nation, the tour's promoter. The group's most holocene gig that wasn't canceled was Aug. 10 at Seattle's Key Arena.Return for tonight's aborted gig here are available at point to buy. The San Diego date will not be rescheduled this year, according to Live Nation, which makes Gahan's quote "We hope to be back early to play for all our fans in the area" ring at least a little hollow (unless 2010 assuage as "soon").That leaves us with the question of the day: Are two sold out shows at the Holywood Bowl more important to Depeche Mode than a San Diego show for which tickets were still employable? Just amazement.

Depeche Mode Heat Up Soggy Lollapalooza, King of Leon

2009-08-11T03:54:00.000-07:00

Kid Cudi, the Knux, Gaslight Anthem also make a splash on a day plagued by storms.

Kings of Leon's Caleb Followill performs at Lollapalooza 2009 on Friday.

Somewhere in Chicago on Friday night, hopefully dry and warm, you can bet that Perry Farrell was grinning ear-to-ear. Despite a persistent all-day rain that turned the massive Lollapalooza fairground along the Chicago waterfront into a slippery mudbog worthy of Woodstock, the musical mash-up spirit that the festival's co-founder has been chasing for nearly 20 years made a strong showing.

As the rain at last let up in time for the headliners to take the stagecoach, on the north end, the struggle band of brothers (and cousin) Kings Of Leon were making the most of their third go-round at the fest, pumping out their muscular Southern boogie to an adoring sea of fans. Meanwhile, at the other end, British synth pop veterans Depeche Mode moved muddy feet with a classic set of keyboard anthems, including "Enjoy the Silence" and thunderous set peck up "Personal Jesus."

People are people
So why should it be
You and I should get along so awfully
People are people
So why should it be
You and I should get along so awfully

So were different colours
And were different creeds
And different people
Have different needs
Its obvious you hate me
Though Ive done nothing wrong
Ive never even met you
So what could I have done
I cant understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand
People are people
So why should it be
You and I should get along so awfully
People are people
So why should it be
You and I should get along so awfully
Help me understand
Help me understand

Now youre punching
And youre kicking
And youre shouting at me
And Im relying on your common decency
So far it hasnt surfaced
But Im sure it exists
It just takes a while to travel
From your head to your fist (head to your fists)
I cant understand what makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand
People are people
So why should it be
You and I should get along so awfully
People are people
So why should it be
You and I should get along so awfully

I cant understand

Hate another man
Help me understand
I cant understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
Help me understand
I cant understand
What makes a man
Hate another man
I cant understand (people are people)
What makes a man (why should it be)
Hate another man
Help me understand..

Depeche Mode Discography

2008-10-14T01:47:00.000-07:00

This Depeche Mode discography was started by Robert Schmitz a long time ago. Robert lost his Internet access around May 1993, when I took over. My first version (1.0) was directly based on Robert's 13.11 of April 29, 1993. The Bootleg (or `Unofficial') part is currently maintained by Bennet McElwee. See the DM Home Page on WWW for this and other lists.

Many of Depeche Mode's releases have been available at various times and in various countries on coloured vinyl. The availability of these releases varies of course on where you live, but some are much rarer than others, especially coloured 7" singles. Amongst the most common coloured vinyl is anything released in Germany in the mid to late 80's, because at that time it seemed as if every Depeche Mode release came out on some sort of coloured vinyl. No attempt is being made to list all the coloured releases, or individual ones in order of rarity; and only specific, interesting releases (mostly the ones that have differing track listings as well), are included.
