    1:18 - The song was released in 2011 and is a cover of U2. The video is from the It's No Good live projection from the Exciter Tour 2001. I wonder how you came up with the song. I haven't known the cover version for very long. It's more of an insider among Depeche Mode fans. 😉

    Cover of a U2 song. It was actually Bono who contacted Depeche and asked if they wanted to do a cover of one of their songs.
    Martin said this in Q Magazine:
    Bono used reverse psychology in his email, saying he totally understood why we'd say no. We just thought, Why not?
    Bono's voice is not in this cover as mentioned in a comment below. It's Dave singing and I think it's only Dave and not Martin in the background either.
    Video has nothing to do with this cover.
    This was released in 2011 and is on the U2 tribute album called "AHK-toong BAY-bi Covered."

    This is actually their cover of a U2 song, another band I love. It was for their tribute album. Btw thought I should mention, but Depeche Mode have been nominated in getting a star in the Hollywood walk of fame. So huge congrats to them!

    This is my first time hearing this song. I also had not heard the original U2 version. It's failing to significantly grip me, but I do like the meaning you pulled out of the lyrics.
    "I gave you everything, but it wasn't what you wanted... No matter what I do, it's not quite good enough. What kind of relationship do you want?" (2:40)
    As soon as you said that my mind immediately jumped to the bi dude I was seeing years ago. I didn't believe that was a real thing until I met him. And didn't at first. It wasn't until I caught him checking out women that I knew it was so. When discussing his sexuality he said the most interesting thing to me - "It's all the same." I didn't understand what he meant for a long while because it was so far outside my experience. And even now it takes a real opening of the mind to imagine what it's like to inhabit that headspace.
    He made it clear from the start that he wasn't interested in a relationship with a man saying, "If it's a relationship to you and it's just hanging out to me, but we're both enjoying it, then I don't see an issue with that." So the "I gave you everything, but it wasn't what you wanted," bit resonated because I foolishly thought I could change his mind even though he told me from the start that it wasn't what he wanted.
    I wonder what this song means to Omar. He requested it in every posting you made for months, so it's got to hold something special for him. It was nice to see that he thanked you, but it would have been interesting to hear why this song is so meaningful to him.
    Did it hit a chord in you? Were you channeling a real experience?

    I also see another comment about reacting to their cover of David Bowie's Heroes and it would be best to do this when you're done with Spirit -- they performed it during the Spirits tour and it was amazing. Also appropriate since Dave Bowie passed around the time Spirit was released,, of course Dave was brought into the band after the others heard him singing Heroes way back when. Fateful moment!

    You hear this is not a Martin Gore composition from the 21st century. It could possibly have been an earlier Gore composition from the 1980s or so, but not a more recent one. - As many have already pointed out, the song is U2's.
    As with almost all artists, the creativity and ability for the little extra seems to flake off over time.
    New album, Spirit, next up, and new possibilities though...

    Hi, wenn Du auf dieses Cover von U 2 reagierst, dann darfst Du auch Heroes von David Bowle nicht auslassen. Depeche Mode haben es 2017 in Gedenken an David Bowie live gespielt. Es gibt davon eine Studioversion.

    Hi Seph,
    This is not DM. This is DM covering U2 (Achtung Baby). I think you can hear Bono singing in the background. Achtung Baby was also produced by Flood, just like Violator and SOFAD.
    I don’t know where you found those images.
