This has got to be one of my favourite songs from Depeche Mode’s ‘Violator’ album and I was listening to it for the first time in a long while as I rode home on the tube last night.
As I have mentioned in the past I am a great fan of Depeche Mode and I love the way that Martin Gore expresses himself through his music often in new and unconventional ways. This song is about the effect that having a wife or lover put on a favourite ‘Blue Dress’ has on a man and how something that might mean nothing to you can mean so much to someone else. The concept that ‘Clothes don’t maketh the man’ is an old one but sometimes ‘Clothes do maketh a woman’ and I can understand the concept of this song so well.
I also love the wonderful pulsating synthesiser sounds that accompany Martin’s voice and the whole ‘feel’ of this song.
Enjoy….
