FORMED: 1980, Basildon, England Composition of Sound was formed in 1980 in Basildon, Essex, by guitarist/vocalists Andy Fletcher and Martin Gore and keyboardist Vince Clarke. After recruiting David Gahan, the group abandoned their guitars for synthesizers, changed the band's name, and became an all-electronic band entitled Depeche Mode. For this unusual approach, Depeche Mode earned a loyal London following, and within a year of their formation, were signed to Mute Records. Depeche Mode's first single "Dreaming of Me" was a minor U.K. hit. It was followed by "New Life", which climbed to No.11, and by "Just Can't Get Enough", which cracked the British Top Ten. Speak & Spell, Depeche Mode's debut album, was released in November of 1981. Signed to Sire Records i More... (Submit New Depeche Mode Lyrics) (Submit New Depeche Mode Lyrics) revelations | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song John The Revelator performed by Depeche Mode People have used religion in positions of power to sway the vote of the ignorant, and use their supposed faith as a scapegoat to perpetuate some of the most distasteful and inhumane tragedies ever known to man. It is happening right now all over the world, with Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, which we all know are some of the most populous religions. Most of the radical Christians who are in support for a lot of the injustice going on are so blinded and usually use the old testament or Revelations in order to support the argument. Seldom do I hear anyone quote the Eight Beatitudes, and one in particular: "Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God." simply amazing | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song I Want It All performed by Depeche Mode this applies to me greatly, and he portrayed it beautifully, i always have this problem in my relationships that i end up being alone. but now i guess i found someone tht will treat me the same as in the song and i guess he's patient enough, i just hope i don't disappoint him. the song says it all Steve the Canadian | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Precious performed by Depeche Mode This is a song about the universe. It can only last so long. We are the angels with silver wings. He wishes he could take the pain of life from you. Depeche Mode does not write songs about relationships. Watch the video, life is a machine. absolutly amazing!!! | Reviewer: alejandro ------ About the song I Want It All performed by Depeche Mode this song send me to a parallel universe where I lay there !!!! dave is a genious... I love this song so much!! is one of my favorites of the playing the angel! the way he sings, the way he means every single word is just amazing, but the way he touch my soul is most amazing though...!! anyway... excelent song!! =) trying to express yself | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song John The Revelator performed by Depeche Mode stealing a god from the israelites stealing a god from the muslims too means his not respecting the god of the muslims and of the jews.so the god of them has no worth anway that means stealing a god.hes destroying the way of living so the religion.so their god.easily he stole the god because he showed em the war I dont get it | Reviewer: Juan ------ About the song John The Revelator performed by Depeche Mode First let me start of by stating the obvious. This is a awesome song by an awesome group. I am also a spiritual person, as I think Martin Gore is (just listen to the stuff written during the Ultra/Exciter periods as well as Songs of Faith and Devotion.) Having a belief in a Creator doesn't mean I have to listen to bland, regurgitated "christian" pop crap. The song isn't meant to insult God or his believers, but rather those that use peoples spiritual inclinations for their own advantage. If Martin Gore believes that the author of Revelations was full of it, that's his opinion, just like the song Blasphemous Rumours was his opinion/artistic expression. I love that DM can take christian themes and give them a new twist (Breath,Personal Jesus,the Love Thieves etc.,) or modern take on them. I believe that their music speaks more about the human condition rather than anything too specific. Spirituality and the conflicts that arise because of it. The battle between mind and flesh. The treachery of the heart. Love and Hate. I'm just happy that there are even artists/musicians who are keen about these things and are willing to write about them. Especially when they are as good as this band. So much stuff out there today is just pure, mindless drivel, THAT'S what people should really be offended by. Divorce or something like that | Reviewer: Camila ------ About the song Precious performed by Depeche Mode To me, this song is more about a divorce and what happens with children after this. I really love this song, but one day, when I was traveling, I realized that, maybe, this "angel with silver wings" could be a child, who doesn't deserve the pain of a divorce... Emiliano just said this :P but I think it's pretty difficult to understand as a song about kids and not about a couple. At the end, we only see what we want to see :) Wrong paragraph? | Reviewer: Christian ------ About the song Freelove performed by Depeche Mode I listened to some available Versions on different media and I did never hear those lines: I've been searching for truth I've been searching for truth And I haven't been getting anywhere No I haven't been getting anywhere They are included in the official lyrics but however they are not in the song? Ironic | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Personal Jesus performed by Depeche Mode I had all of their early albums, so was a fan early 80's lost interest a bit later, as I had to spend cash on things other than CDs, sadly. I always thought this wasn't a religous song but quite irony-laded, the lyrics don't suggest this but the tone of voice and music do. Response to short'nsweet | Reviewer: Jerry ------ About the song Precious performed by Depeche Mode Go find them now...use the internet...I found her...41 years old now (I'm 40) ... we were engaged 20 years ago and I ran away before we got married and closed the door on her, my friends, her famiy....I ended all contact with everyone.... I contacted her last May...I thought she would hate me... she took me back with open loving arms... I love her. In the past because we loved eachother we didn't contact eachother because we thought eachother had moved on ... she called me a dumb ass for not contacting her sooner. It's beautiful now ...I cry tears of joy now. ... she lives in my town. Has the same friends and family with her and I'll get to meet them all soon..It's a wonderful thing...I'm happy again... We used to go to Depeche Mode concerts together ... and now I hope to go to another one with her now as adults. nanach about Dirt | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Dirt performed by Depeche Mode You know sometimes you come across a song and maybe more specially a certain voice singing a song that is just sex in words. This is probably the most horny hot song I have ever heard, I hope many more will come forth by the always sexy Dave Gahan. Rock on boys A Useless Review | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Useless performed by Depeche Mode When i first listened to this song i had no idea who it was by or what the song was called. I had never heard anything like it before. My usual scene is drum&bass so it was a pretty different experience. It certrainly is something that takes you away, gets you drifting. It sets the mood for a multitude of events. I first heard it at a party and even with the lack of tempo and clammer of electro sounds it still did the job. I now however have just relized that there is like six different versions of it, and i have no idea which one i heard. Iv got the one with the rolling bassline, seems to drift to and fro as you listen, the keys flirt with its deepness without steeling away the power of the lyrics. all i can say is that its one of my new favourite tracks. And that this is truely a useless and creepy review here's an answer | Reviewer: martin coetzee ------ About the song John The Revelator performed by Depeche Mode i read one comment below stating that this song is slightly blasphemous. the song isn't a denounciation of religion. its broad based. perhaps targeting individuals with holier than thou attitudes. and perhaps criticising (an obviously christian) john for claiming god as his. a lot of war is fueled by religion (although we don't always like to admit it, everything is divided by race or religion) this song might be encouragement to break down that system. to say "JOHN IS BUSH" is ignorant. this song isn't a political outburst, its an observation. i'm more frank than gore. why can't popular musicians make music that might be blasphemous to you if it isn't blasphemous to them? at every turn you condemn muslims, gays, jews and pro-choice people. if i were a gay muslim with an aborted foetus i wouldn't give a flying fuck if i offended you because all those things are endemic and RIGHT to me. "freedom of speech and expression is awesome, as long as it doesn't criticize my extravagant christian lifestyle." the same can be said of sunni muslims. this whole world is fucked up. there's something more important than god you know. its called humanity. awsome song. RE: DM-DP | Reviewer: DM Fangirl ------ About the song Damaged People performed by Depeche Mode The lyrics to this song and the soft, ethereal music gives me chills to no end. I love how the lyrics are so meaningful and how I, and probably many others, can connect to the expressed feelings. The smooth quality, the dark undertones, the sexy motions, and the conveyed hope- I love it all. Long live Depeche Mode. :) They are, to say the least, epic. What a pleasure - little treasure! | Reviewer: Erik ------ About the song Happiest Girl performed by Depeche Mode Guys, I found this song on the digital remasterd of Violater..it's got the same darkness and sex appeal that all of the songs on the cd did that year. Other bonus tracks could easily have been put on the album..man - download the song and you'll see what I mean.. iq0 Great Band | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About artist/band Depeche Mode Depeche Mode is certainly one of my most favourite bands. I heard them when my bro bought their album, and i instantly fell in love with them, they simply rock. Truly a great band, worth listening to. Keep on the good work guys ! ;) ~GUESS WHO~ | Reviewer: Benediction ------ About the song Never Let Me Down Again performed by Depeche Mode A revelation at the precise moment of the question of time is now. Im that SUN that shines... your living proof - LORD ALMIGHTY SOVERIEGNTY and your symbol of SIRUIS the brightest star that shines. LET ME Explain. | Reviewer: Benediction ------ About the song John The Revelator performed by Depeche Mode John is the chosen but a revelator which means Bush. "By claiming God - As his holy right (AMERICA-UNDER GOD) He's stealing a God from the Israelites Stealing a God from a Muslim, too There is only "one" God through and through." Written in the bible for every war. GOD needs to be present. BUSH cheated and cause terror instead of war. STILL UNDER the DOCTRINE OF GOD for WAR but never broke the contract however, GOD HUMORS his modesty to cheat. HOW else did he still GODS from all and still come up with only ONE GOD of all. btw, it's written into two forms of doctrine christianity and catholic to help explain HOW this is possible. I surpassed the phrophecies written into ONE whole BOOK of aka "Depeche MODE" of our current bible one name said will be the stonekey of the greatest phrophet ever to leave beyond discoveries. Contact via email to unravel top secrets of the true almighty phrophet- almighty lord soveriegnty - I before JESUS CHRIST and then... unto him. FOOLISH everybody has something to abide against he who believeth most. "I still wonder" | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Precious performed by Depeche Mode oh yes, it also reminds me of my recent and past relationship... exactly like the words say: " Things get damaged Things get broken / I thought we'd manage /But words left unspoken /Left us so brittle /There was so little left to give I also still wonder...
