SONG OF THE WEEK

Today’s song of the week is by DEPECHE MODE.  The music of DEPECHE MODE has always been constant throughout my life.  From the first time I heard ‘People are People’ – I was hooked.  DEPECHE MODE are pioneers of Electronica Alternative.  I have countless favourites songs but the one song that stands out the most for me, would be – ‘Strangelove’ from the album Music For The Masses.  Music For The Masses was released in 1987 and includes the hits, Strangelove, Behind The Wheel and Never Let Me Down Again it also includes the amazing songs I Want You Now, Little 15 and Nothing.

Depeche Mode’s music catalogue is extensive from 1981’s Speak and Spell to most recently Sounds of the Universe and compilation album Remixes 2: 81-11 – I look forward to all future Depeche Mode releases with great anticipation and know that I will never be disappointed.  In the meantime, enjoy Strangelove – it stands the test of time and is completely relevant today.

STRANGELOVE – Depeche Mode

There’ll be times
When my crimes
Will seem almost unforgivable
I give in to sin
Because you have to make this life livable
But when you think I’ve had enough
From your sea of love
I’ll take more than another riverful
And I’ll make it all worthwhile
I’ll make your heart smile

Strangelove
Strange highs and strange lows
Strangelove
That’s how my love goes
Strangelove
Will you give it to me
Will you take the pain
I will give to you
Again and again
And will you return it

There’ll be days
When I stray
I may appear to be
Constantly out of reach
I give in to sin
Because I like to practice what I preach
I’m not trying to say
I’ll have it all my way
I’m always willing to learn
When you’ve got something to teach
And I’ll make it all worthwhile
I’ll make your heart smile

Pain will you return it
I’ll say it again – pain
Pain will you return it
I won’t say it again

I give in
Again and again
I give in
Will you give it to be
I give in
I’ll say it again
I give in

I give in
Again and again
I give in
That’s how my love goes
I give in
I’ll say it again
I give in
