I first saw Depeche Mode live for the first time in 1984 when their album ‘Some Great Reward’ had just been released and I was in the sixth form at Leicester Grammar School. I had, however been a fan of theirs since the early days when Vince Clarke was still in the band.
This song was originally a ‘B’ side on one of their singles (I forget which one) but it was one of the songs from the album ‘Black Celebration’ and I remember that I first heard it when my friend Ed played it as we were driving somewhere in his car! Although I could drive and had access to my parents’ car pretty much when I wanted it (as my Dad tended to use the car for driving to work and neither of them went out in the evenings) my friend Ed had his own car and so it was easier for him to drive and he would often pick me up when we were gong somewhere.
I loved this song from the moment I heard it and still love it today. Although the music of Depeche Mode ranges from pop hits like ‘I Just Can’t Get Enough’ to very dark songs like ‘Wrong’ on the ‘Sounds of the Universe’ Album this was a nice pop song at a time when their music was beginning to change and I love the simplicity of it, the sentiment and the sounds.
Hope you enjoy it…
Now listen to the song…
