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

I feel loved
I feel loved

I did not think DM's music would stand the test of time but it does. One band I never had the chance to see regretfully

(Sound better with FLAC 2/great phones, amp, and DAC)

Not necessarily, Good equipment will bring out the best and worst of a recording. For example, for a while recording engineers compressed  the daylights out of recordings because we naturally think louder sounds better. But it just muddied and distorted the music. Sounds ok to the casual listener on casual equipment , but is really sad on good equipment under critical listening. It's interesting that some of the most critically acclaimed recordings are from the late 50's and early 60's when the recording equipment had reached a good level of fidelity but the limited number of effects and tracks kept production minimal

Depeche Mode usually has superb production, so here good playback equipment is a wonderful thing..

Not such a good sound for them. Too much goofy synth crap.



Given that they are one of the godfathers of synth pop this is right in their wheelhouse.

I've always made more of an inspiration connection of Muse with Queen, but I see your point and agree with it - thanks for expanding my musical connections!

Proper rock stars.
No yoga hiatus for these lads. oh no.
They meet the 'rock band' brief, for sure.

Danny's version is longer, faster and has more tribal drums

This song is going to be 20 years old and it looks like it's DM's new single, nice!
Posted 3 years ago by Dj_Yonke    [ Reply ]
One amazing thing about DM is that they kept upgrading their sound in such a natural, homogeneous way., almost never really 'conflicting' with the earlier material.

I'm a big, although late, fan

Hmmm, I am liking this quite a bit.  Dark (so Depeche Mode), intermixed with upbeat, jamming guitar with a nice background of synth.

Oh, never thought I would rate a Depeche Mode song more than 0, but this one is definitely excellent, that's a 7.

This mix (is it a mix) of this song sounds a lot like one of the dance tracks that was in the orgy scene in The Matrix Reloaded. Perhaps it\'s just the vwoopdoop keyboard sound that\'s doing this to me. I dunno.

What a great idea, maybe other artist could suffer the same fate, Marley for one could do with A LOT less airplay IMHO. This song however, rocks! :D

When it\'s nothing more than the right mix, beat and sounds, you can count me out. With this song it\'s little more than that and even that\'s questionable.
