Not so many deep cuts, but then again they often issue their best songs as singles.
It feels so refreshing to come across someone who understands the power and beauty of this band’s work so clearly. I feel like it’s impossible to express how much raw and dignified emotion their songs can evoke in someone. When I listen to them, everything goes away, and the layers of the song that I hear is all that matters in the world. Listening to them makes me feel like I could pass from life feeling satisfied with having lived it enough; because I had the gift of knowing the sounds of this band. I’m 15 and I feel like one of the only people I know who’s been touched so deeply by a band before, and it’s so hard to explain. Depeche Mode has saved and made my life. There are some things you come to love that you know nobody or nothing could ever match it.
Well said. Many life long fans have said similar. I can definitely say that this band did save my life when I was younger and had thoughts about ending my life.
You are not alone. I was around your age when I started listening to them and they had a huge impact on my teenage life. When I discovered their music, it was just right, a match, immediate love. Wow, you're 15 and love them and it just shows us time and time again that their songs are timeless and that we can not help what we connect with in this world. When something speaks to you it's such a pure feeling. They have so, so many great songs. There's a song for every stage of life, every emotion. Truly they an incredible band. I have my tickets for 2023!!
Agree! Glad we live times when DM music has so much mass success worlwide in the same time with the “one/two notes” (so called) “modern” music, anyway I always felt MG/AW had a classical music vibe and complexity in their compositions/arrangements
Couldn’t feel more strongly in agreement with what’s been said above. I sometimes feel that the one/two note layered songs that are spewed out excessively these days are drowning out the newer generations’ clarity in what real, authentic music is.. But everyday I feel so grateful that in any timeline I could’ve lived in, I happened to be alive in one where DM exists!! Even if I’m a few decades late haha. Being able to resonate with other like-minded people is such a freeing feeling, I’m really glad that this band has touched so many in the way I know it’s touched me. They’re truly one of a kind. I could just get lost in all the layers of sound and keys and synths that their work embodies for hours. Counting down the days till I see them in 2023 as well, I definitely wouldn’t have been able to live with myself if I didn’t get to see them in my lifetime!!
So many of us can relate to what you are saying. I heard and fell in love with DM on my 15th birthday and now 31 years later I still listen to them pretty much daily. Their music still speaks to me so deeply, and has saved my life as well 🤗.

“Shake the Disease” IS their best song ever. Kudos to “Here is the House”. That one touches me at an indescribable level.
Agreed. There is something special about "Here is the House" that hits hard.
Ascoltate anche:
"Complicità " dei Bluvertigo.....!!!!! 😍
It was my favorite from the Black Celebration era, haunting and cozy at the same time
@@Bubbles-od2tv I reall like the title track, but I think this one touches my sould the deepest.

Holy shit how did you get into my brain lol that's probably the same top ten list I would've made
I might switch out Walking in my Shoes with Nothing, only because the beat is soooo damn hypnotic. The version of Nothing from their live 101 album is amazing.
*edit to add that Policy of Truth would be in the list somewhere, maybe in place of Little 15. You know it's an incredible band when making such a list is crazy difficult because you start to recall all the songs which hit you in the soul🤣
@@cloudbloom I found it difficult to put it only to 10 songs. Of course, after I typed my list, I was like I forgot this song and this one. Policy of Truth would be on it too as well as Question of Time, and The things You Said.
I should have done honorable mentions. Lol

Some of my favorites if I had to choose earlier songs.

Strangelove
Black Celebration
Wrong
I must mention that I have been a fan since hearing Strangelove for the first time in 7th grade. I frequently listened to every album and B side from Black Celebration to Delta Machine. I absolutely LOVED the Delta Machine record in its entirety and it is the last album I loved of theirs. It was a sexy album. I could not do the political stuff on Spirit and it was their worst album in my opinion. I went to see them in 2013 in Las Vegas and I loved that concert because it was so intimate. Thank you Depeche Mode for all the memories.
I forgot to mention The Child Inside - that one is a beauty.
Vaughn, you described my feelings about "Waiting for the night". This song really makes me cry. My favorite DM song. This is a gem, a truly special song. Cheers from Brazil.

Shake the disease gave me a veritable Out-Of-Body experience when I heard Martin perform it live in Zurich stadium in 2014 - the entire audience was singing along, and my soul sang along as well and it all turned into one. Definitely one of the more sublime moments of my life up to now.

To mi připomíná někoho z Facebooku :-)
@@iamarjanib6784 jo tak to budu asi já :D
I love that you have "Rush" on there. That's my number one.
Depeche is one of those bands I listened to so much that I nowadays take long breaks...and then you hear a snippet of them, get chills and start listening to nothing but, yet again...
Same! I go back to them now and then.
man I am almost never been sentimentalist but please do an album with all these songs in these piano versions, I will buy it instantly, it is so disconnecting approach from everything in our agitated life
Thank you my friend !! VG :-)
Agree, please do it Vaughn, I'll buy it for sure...I wish DM could ask you to substitute Gordeno...
Me too!
I'd by that too in a heartbeat
Me too!

It's No Good is such a banger, that's my favorite too.
@@Subject98 The opening minute is one of my favourites on any song ever. Just makes you move.
Nice list. Covers a wide spectrum of DM.
I can’t decide my top 10, but It’s no good is so good. The swooping synth line over the sampled guitar. Wonderful.
@D D Day esqThanks for the shout out to Policy of Truth. This is their best song for me. I am shocked I am not seeing more love for it on here. It has my favorite production of any song I have ever heard from any band of any era. I love the rest of this list, and all of the songs people are calling out are great. But, I gotta wonder what it is about my favorite that is clearly my own.
10: The landscape is changing
9: Strangelove
8: But not tonight
7: Black celebration
6: Lie to me
5: Puppets
4: Stripped
3: Everything counts

This was difficult choosing between just 10 songs. But here it goes.
10. Leave in silence
9. Waiting for the night.
8. Only when I lose myself
7. Lie to me
6. Walking in my shoes
5. It doesn't matter two.
4. Policy of Truth..

1. Mercy in you.
Mercy in you is super underrated
Mercy in you is so superb
"Oh what a feeling inside of me. It might last for an hour. Wounds aren't healing inside of me. Though it feels good now...I know its only for now!" Love that track
@@ALTERNATIVEMIXTAPES Tho we may be the last in the world, we feel like pioneers, telling our hopes and fears to one another. Yep I have always loved it doesn't matter two. Even when I was a teenager back in the 80s and I didn't have a clue what the lyrics were about. I love these videos that Vaughn does, it gives all of us DM fans around the world a chance to discuss our favorite band and all the beautiful music they have made over the years.
Enjoy the Silence is a masterpiece and still gives me goosebumps. This song woke me from a dead sleep having left my radio on one night in 1989..By then I'd been a DM fan since 1983 .I remember sitting up and thinking, what a gorgeous melody .
Same. It's the one that I remember hearing first, but them. I think in VH1. Fell in love with the band ever since. Z😄
Man, this video (and all your content) is one of the major contributions to the DM fandom to date. A beautiful source of understanding the subtleties and the musical genius that made us Devotees, something this community desperately needed, thank you. Greetings from México.
Gracias Amigo !! Full respect to you and BIG love to Mexico !! Thank you !! VG :-)
@@VaughnGeorge Everyone have their top 10 and sometimes they change without reason, but, which ones are really their best songs? Based on musical criteria, lyrics, cultural relevance, etc.; could be another video.
My top 10 are:
1. Stripped (I literally have the symbol tattooed on me I love it that much.)
2. In your room
3. Shake the disease
4. Black celebration
5. Behind the wheel
6. Walking in my shoes
7. Told you so
8. World in my eyes
9. Lie to me
10. It doesn’t matter two.
La croce di Dave e In Your Room me le sono tatuate sul braccio ! In Your Room riuscirò a sentirla anche nell'aldilà...🤩
It doesn’t matter two. yep. love it.
Told You So....great track!!
Told you so.....love that song
I totally agree to all your words about But Not Tonight. For me this song is mysterious, because it sounds so intense like a Vince Clark Yazoo song.
My all time favourite by the way is „Ice Machine“ in the live Version on the Blasphemous Rumours B-Side.
Martin is a True Genius... I hope this Genius comes back this Year more than ever... Tickets bought, waiting to See them live again more than ever.
Simply wonderful analysis! - thank you for your work Vaughn! Here's mine:

9) mercy in you
8) photographic
7) never let me down again
5) leave in silence
4) enjoy the silence
3) stripped
2) behind the wheel
1) in your room
So many others that I left outside:
Policy of truth, to have and to hold, world in my eyes, it' no good, waiting for the night
Not forgetting the things you said, shout, black celebration suffer well... narrowing down to ten seems Impossible
My top ten DM songs in no particular order:
Higher Love, Mercy in You, In Your Room, My Joy, Halo, Clean, World in My Eyes,
Insight, Stripped, Corrupt.
My joy is their best b-side
I tried to find a song from the Violator album that I could justify in my top 10 or even top 15 but I feel like this album was a little too mainstream. Halo and Waiting for the Night are my favorite tracks from it. Actually the only song produced after 1987 that I could include was Walking in My Shoes which I find nostalgic of Never Let Me Down but goes deeper for me. I actually like the Violator, Songs of Faith and Devotion, and Ultra albums a lot but they don’t resonate with me like 1982-1987 Depeche Mode.

I've got tickets to the Vegas show in March.
I have cried several times listening to But Not Tonight. It reminds me so much of being in my room dancing on my own. It’s magical. The outro, lyrics, motives… Black Celebration was my first album, I bought it in 1997 when I was 14 just because it had the title track, which I had listened to in the early 90s on a random recorded casette. 😂 So random. I hope BC and Stripped are on this list too. We’ll see
Ah ..... am with ya on that 1....reminds me of leaving school over 3 decades ago n missin all my school mates that went to uni .... leave in silence was my 1st get away tune🫠😙
But Not Tonight is not on Black Celebration as the band meant the album to be. Was added by their US label.
@@iamarjanib6784 I know that. The last song is NEW DRESS. But for me BUT NOT TONIGHT belongs in this album/era. My version of the cd had the extended as the closer and that for me is the perfect way to finish the album. Melancholy and darkness. Dancing while crying. Understanding the Pain vs Happiness dichotomy of life, while singing to those ghostly Martin vocals on repeat as the song fades away. 😎 And then start the album again with the title track 🤣😅🎶
First time I saw But Not Tonight Video was on MTV when I was 15. I remember this moment very distinctly. I just came home in the late evening and it was pouring rain outside. I was completely wet. I entered my house and my sister was watching it on 180 Minutes on MTV. I’m from Southern California, it hardly rains here. But Not Tonight appeared at the right place at the right time, I’ll never forget it.
I think IN YOUR ROOM is their best song, after that you can just retire or something. The amount of tension vs release I get from that song is like sex 😂 the second verse is unbeliable, but then you have that chill-inducing outro with sounds going 3d destroying your inner core. 😅 I still try not to listen to it very frequently to keep it special and after 20 something years for me I still FEEL IT.
Absolutely 👍
when you hear all these harmonies you don't want to turn on your radio and tv sets anymore......

4 - The Sun and the Rainfall
3 - Never Let me Down again

1 - But not tonight!!
I still remember summer 1985, when I was on vacation with my parents in France. I spent days in bed with a really severe sunburn, equipped with a tape recorder and only one single tape in it with a collection of top40 songs that I had recorded from TV. Shake the Disease was the one track that I listened to again and again with its strange chord sequence, weird sounds and layers of synths complementing each other so perfectly. I was not exactly a DM fan at that time but this song was so different from all the rest that it was practically impossible not to become one...
I could do a top 20 and still not be satisfied. One that's probably in my top 5 that doesn't seem to appear on a lot of others is the song Freestate. The atmosphere is this mix of melancholy, mystery and beauty and it's masterfully done imo.
I love pretty much every song on Ultra and that’s one of my faves!
@@Wraiven22 Nice. Ultra definitely belongs to their prime era if you ask me.
It’s fucking delightful watching how you reproduce/explain each of your top 10 DM songs. In my opinion, Martin and Dave could consider you replacing Fletcher, if that is possible/acceptable. Your love and dedication to DM, as well as your talent, would easily qualify you for that.
Regards and thank you for each video you post.

That was so damn hard to make a choice ! I know I give too much credit to Ultra but since I discovered Depeche Mode with it, I can't manage to supress the affect I have for this album.
(tomorrow could be completely different )

"In Your Room' and 'Insight" have been resonating and haunting me greatly lately. My Dad has been ill, and be it visiting him in the Hospital or long walks by nightfall under cushioned starlight, the deep dark atmospherics of those songs have harnessed all the drama within and around. I loved this analysis of your own meaningful songs to you.

2. Higher love
3. Fly on the windscreen
4. Ice machine
5. Everything counts
6. Waiting for the night
7. Rush
8. Suffer well

10. But not tonight / Shake the disease / Stripped
Nice selection, I binged your album overviews during the summer so I had a good idea of what the list would look like.
Though it’s an extremely fluid ranking, mine would be
1. Halo
2. Higher Love
3. Enjoy the Silence
4. Clean
5. If You Want
6. Nothing
7. Stripped
8. Never Let Me Down Again
9. The Things You Said
10. It’s No Good
If I’m allowed 5 honorable mentions they would be: Strange Love, Blasphemous Rumors, Policy of Truth, And Then, and Fools
Nice to see If You Want on the list. Love that track.
My favorite songs are from the Depeche Mode. But especially the ones sung by Martin Gore. I know he's the main songwriter, but he gives it a melancholy tone, makes the music so sweet that I just can't resist, so especial and haunting. Everything is so wonderful, it transforms strangelove which has a danceable rhythm into something melancholic. I adore this musical genius. And here goes my list in no order: Heaven, Lie to me, One caress, Home, Somebody, Little Soul, In a manner of speaking, Stripped, The Child Inside, The Love Thieves, In your room and of course me I do not exclude another that I love.And Vaughn is right to say that those who like Depeche Mode are people who think deeply about life, spirituality and everything in between.Depeche mode is in my soul and I see Martin L. Gore as a unique artist.
There's an awesome remix of Martin Gore's version of Compulsion called Dominatrix Remix that I highly recommend! That dj Dominatrix has done a bunch of fantastic depeche mode remixes as well that are worth checking out. Anyway I absolutely love the chorus in Compulsion, so beautiful and Martin nails the tone with his voice

I love the way "Here Is The House" segues into my favorite DM song, "World Full Of Nothing". First time I met Martin I told him how much I loved that song and they should play it live. Next tour, which was the Violator Tour, Martin played it. We met again. He told me he remembered our conversation. True story!
Of course, remembering the conversation doesn't necessarily mean that he chose to follow your advice.
The work you’ve put into this episode is immense. Thank you.

I agree with most of your top 10, George. It was a pleasure hearing your analysis and melodic breakdown on the keyboard. The full piano rendition of Shake the Disease gave me chills all over
Glad you liked it Rachel!! VG :-)
When you play them bare in your piano it's so violently beautiful to see how AMAZING these songs are. Black Celebration is, to me, DMs masterpiece and it contains such powerful songs. In some sense I've always seen that album as Martin's most personal. Might be because he's got more songs in BC than in most albums. Thank you for this video. My fav band ever even though they have produced such bummers lately.
A nice list. One of my favorites is a - in my view - completely underrated S-tier song called "Home". It's so nicely crafted and has beautiful Martin Gore vocals...
10. In your room;
9. Strangelove;
8. Stripped;
7. Never let me down again;
6. Wrong;
5. Should be higher;

@@manugahan1863 In your room is the song of my life 💡
@@steadycasemiro
👍
@D D Day esq Yeah, I just love Freestate. 😁 Dave’s vocals are very good on Ultra. Yes, it was missing Alan Wilder, but it’s still an amazing album.
Well done! For some reason I wouldn't have "Shake the Disease" as #1 but I now can't get it out of my head so maybe you are right lol.

1. In your room
2. Walking in my shoes
3. Sister of Night

Hey Vaughn and all other Devotees
Here’s my personal Top 10 list. I do like some of their newer songs like „In Chains“ or „Cover me“ but they would not even fit into my Top 40 list😂
No 10: Policy of truth
No 9: My secret garden (live in Hammersmith)
No 8: Little 15/One Caress ( couldn’t decide here🙉)
No 7: Strangelove
No 6: The sun and the rainfall
No 5: The things you said
No 4: Never let me down again
No 3: enjoy the silence
No 2: World in my eyes
No 1: In your room ( live 93 )
Excelent analysis as always Vaughn. I found in it many songs that, today, I'd quite settle on
10. Insight
9. A Question of Lust
8. Shake The Disease
7. Judas/Never Let me Down Again (Can't decide but Judas is a hauntingly inmense piece of art)
6. Waiting For The Night
5. Enjoy The Silence
4. World In My Eyes
3. Stripped
2. Home
1. In Your Room (The apotheosis of Depeche Mode)
Honorables: But Not Tonight (love it, a friend of mine, whom I introduced to the band told me to have a keen look on this one and Judas, he was definetly not mistaken), Breathe, The Things You Said, Nothing's impossible, One Caress
In your room (The apotheosis of Depeche Mode) Yes, that’s right! Devotional starts with Higher Love and ends with In your room … (except Encore)
I started listening to Depeche mode when was a teen 15 years ago, my favorite songs have changed a lot over the years. At the moment :
1) Behind the wheel : never got over it, i'm still waiting behind the wheel
2) Halo : haunting masterpiece
3) Nothing : unpopular opinion I think, simple but hypnotizing and timeless, makes you think, makes you dance, makes you happy
4) Black celebration : So dark and rich. I'll drink to that
5) Shake the disease : instant crush
6) Home : lyrics, Martin's voice, that ending...
7) A question of time : that beat gets me every single time
8) Stripped : just beautiful
9) Strangelove : quintessential DM to me
10) If you want : I adore this tune + Alan
Honorable mentions that could have been in the top 10, some used to be :
Photographic
Ice machine
Get the balance right
Everything counts
Fools
Master and servant
A question of lust
Here is the house
Never let me down again
World in my eyes
Sweetest perfection
Happiest girl
Mercy in you
Insight
Never Let Me Down: is a song where Martin loves to take a word or phrase and then incorporate both meanings. The first stanza has him using the term, Never let me down physically. Then Martin turns to the other meaning of the phrase, Never let me down emotionally in the next stanza. As he merges these two terms together, he bounces them off each other, back and forth; Never Let Me Down (Physically) Never Let Me Down (Mentally); Never Let Me Down (Physically) then back to Never Let Me Down (Mentally). Chorus: See the stars, they're shining bright (never let me down (physically)
Everything's alright tonight (never let me down (mentally). He does this in Stripped and in Nothing as well. Listen to it again.
"But not tonight" is #1 for me. Resembles the #1 Beatles track "Here comes the sun".
