Depeche Mode Reaction, Reaction to Enjoy The Silence, Reaction to Violator Album reaction, DM Violator songs,
Martin Gore, Dave Gahan, RIP Andrew Fletcher, alan wilder
Actually, there is an amazing story, behind Enjoy the Silence. Martin originally, wrote this song as a slow ballad, with a harmonium as instrumental back-up. But Alan Wilder, came up with the idea
to put a beat to it. Martin came up with the guitar riff. Then Alan and the producer Flood, took the song to the studio, and worked the song. And that's how you produce a simple, beautiful and durable synth pop song.
Many of his songs were written in that form. Alan and the producer took them into the stratosphere. Martin is a brilliant lyricist, but Alan Wilder was always the music maestro. When Alan left in 1995 -- well, the difference in sound is night and day after Songs of Faith and Devotion. Not that the post-Wilder era is bad, I actually love Ultra and Playing the Angel, but I still to this day miss his spellbinding musicality.
Yes! And there is the Harmonium-Version too, sang by Martin
I loved the 80's Depeche mode, and especially Alan Wilder.
on the yellow 12 inch 👌
@@charlesswitzer8378 Alan's version of In Chains provides the comparison. He did it better imo
enjoy the silence, I think it is, without exaggeration, one of the most beautiful songs ever produced in the history of music. It's a complete song, it has deep lyrics and a sound that was already considerably advanced compared to the time. It will always remain a masterpiece 🖤
Everyone gets up to dance whenever this song is performed at a DM concert. It’s such a classic and great song.💃🏻❤️🔥🕺🏻
Enjoy The Silence is timeless. It is iconic, it is heart-warming, it is stunningly beautiful. Among the two biggest hits - this and Personal Jesus - I will always go for this. The subtle beauty of the message of this song and the music itself - I don’t know how they came up with this. I always get chills from the last part, how it slowly builds up, then the choir comes in and I always have this imagery of Dave as the king in front of this huge Swiss mountain. It’s one of this songs of theirs that you never get tired of. Can talk about this one for hours. Love it
I am so excited that I am bringing my 22 year old daughter to see them in a few months. She has grown up listening to my music... I feel so old!
Hey Seth! A new single is out! "My cosmos is mine". But you have to hear it loud and with closed eyes. It's another masterpiece.
Yes on headphones!!!
It's not a single.
@@ninawildr4207 yes on headphones, but not connected to a cd player or to a computer directly. For the best results we need a dac and a headphone amp to enjoy the best. The computer's dac is not very good to convert digital signal to analog.
Its no single
@jonasjonsson5741 , what ever...it's brilliant.
Enjoy the Silence always plays well live. The best live version is when they were touring Songs Of Faith And Devotion, the next album after Violator. The Devotional Tour, Enjoy The Silence is absolutely fantastic on that tour. After SOFAD you have to do a reaction to Devotional.
Absolutely!
Agree, Black Devotee Bro :)
Depeche Mode anthem :) Enjoy the silence is one of the most popular song by DM ever made. Love it a lot:)
This is what makes your channel so good. You have truly virgin ears, a passion for music, and wear your emotions on your sleeve. Infinitely curious and analytical. Humorous and creative. Incredibly good natured and humble. Extraordinary discipline and commitment. And good looking to boot.
I'm not worthy of these words 😊 thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Also can i say that you really do have a good taste in music!? Was just reading your comments 😀
So i have a question? What other bands/singers do you listen to often?
@@SephPlays And I'll add to that kind, compassionate, and intelligent. You really blow me away. Your reactions are such a pleasure to watch. I can honestly say that I'm a better person as a result of viewing your videos and reading your comments. Thank you so much for sharing a part of yourself on here.
Regarding the bands/artists I enjoy listening to, I'm so glad you asked. For I've been thinking about how I would absolutely LOVE to share with you some of the best songs from my favorite bands/artists, genres, and eras. I was thinking about creating categorized Seph playlists. I could do that here on my balovett UA-cam account or any other platform that is convenient for you. Does that sound like something you'd enjoy?
I would love this! But only if you have the time to do it?
I'm super curious what kind of songs you listen to often :D
Also as a side note: i have now made you a trusted member here on the channel. That means you should be able to post links and say channel names without youtube deleting your comments xD
@@SephPlays Excellent! I will really enjoy putting this together. I'll review the artists and songs you have already reacted to so that I only include ones that might be new to you. I will post links to the UA-cam playists I create here. And if you prefer some other platform for playlists, just let me know.
You haven't heard this 😳 my sweet sweet man where have you been. Haha ❤️
I was in the military overseas when Violator was released and it brought out so many emotions for me.
This is an example of what we may be missing with Alan no longer with the band,Martin wanted this to be a ballad but Alan and Flood the producer thought it was better uptempo. What other magic have we missed all these years..oh well..
We can still listen to the Harmonium version of Enjoy The Silence.
I know what you mean. Alan is basically a third of what makes DM, DM. It's been a huge loss to not have him there. Those albums sound the way they do because of Alan. I've always wondered what Alan would have done with Home, for example
Alan added an extra dimension to the sound. Their albumns after Alan are still good, but not as nuanced.
This is most fan's favorite song & it was a huge commercial success!
Flood and Wilder baby! Pure Magic!!!!
The last part it's the interlude n .2, "Crucified" and the voice is.. Fletch (RIP). By the way, what's your plan about Memento Mori ? Because they have released another song even if not marked as a single...
Enjoy the silence is a balad with a disco sound. It was Alan’s idea to give it a disco sound. Martin was absolutely against the idea, but Alan and Marc Ellis (producer of violator and SOFAD, a genius btw) kicked everybody out of the recording studio (in the middle of rural Denmark😂) to give it a go. And this is the result.
I can’t remember about the charts in Belgium, but MTV played it every hour for weeks on end (also thanks to the briliant video of Anton Corbijn).
It is a good song, but live, again, is a masterpiece thanks to the third genius in the band who left them in 1995.
Dear Seph, do not underestimate the importance of Alan in the band.
I can’t believe that you never heard this song before… I guess you are a millennial? 😉
But, thank you so much Seph. Your enthusiasm reminds me to not take their music for granted (I am a big fan for 40 years now).
I love that laser sound too!
Crucified is an interlude between the two songs.
Yeah. Between Enjoy the Silence and Policy of Truth
My all time FAVORITE song ever!!! Want this song played at my wedding / funeral when i die. Best band EVER!!!! ❤❤🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
On the album version, Enjoy The Silence has two songs together with the main song and then an interlude instrumental called Crucified, you should react to this song live in Berlin, it's even more amazing and also the album version of this song doesn't have the build up that the single version has.
The next song is an Interlude called Crucified, and that evil voice is from Fletcher.
ETS is one of the concert anthems. A notorious song even today. Martin originally wanted a slow ballad - he originally wrote the text as a lullaby for his daughter. Alan eventually turned it into a pop hit. Martin plays guitar in most of his songs, but this riff is perhaps one of his best - apart from the guitar in Never Let Me Down Again, Barrel of Gun or Here is the House. Dave and Mart sing the chorus together - as in most songs, some are outright duets. The music video for the song is legendary, it's a piece of art.
The outro (7:32-9:47) is an interlude called "Crucified". It features Dave Gahan on acoustic guitar & Andrew Fletcher screaming "Crucified!" (8:24-8:27)
Crucified is a transition to Policy of Truth, the next song from Violator album
The laser sound is produced by filters and accompany the powerful bass on last choruses. DM relly changed their sounds over time because they constantly changed gears. Albums have their signature synthesizer, which sometimes makes them sound a bit alike : arp 2600 for speak and spell, PPG Wave for a broken frame, synclavier and emulator II for Construction time again Some great reward and BC, and the fantasic Emulator III on Violator.
I guess many find this to be their "signature song." Some find "Just Can't Get Enough" to be their signature song lol. In the end, it doesn't really matter because to me, they will always be a body of work/albums band. But this is the grocery store song sigh. It is certainly their hit -- the type where Tik Tokers think they are some new band they just discovered lmao.
It is going to the next song and I believe you already reacted to it. You should check it out live in the Devotional tour.
At The end, that's An interlude to the next song, which is... 😁 It"s not a part of Enjoy the silence anyway. And Yes Martin does the high parts in chorus 👍
Dave main vocals. Martin is in the background. There is a mix of this song called the Hands and Feet Mix. My favorite DM remix.
Hands and Feet Mix is basically 12" version of Enjoy The Silence
Finally !! I've been waiting a long time for you to hear this!! This is a song you want to hear again and again and again!! The most beautiful song ever made!!!
It’s probably widely considered as the holy grail of Depeche Mode music!!!!
After binge watching some of your reviews of DM,I get the feeling that you are now a Depeche Mode fan. 😉😊 I’ve been enjoying your exploration and reactions. Also, hehehee 😂 the sped up singing and talking at various times. Thanks for having an open mind to listen to songs and artists that you maybe aren’t familiar with, and for your honest reactions. Your discovery and at times joy of these songs and their lyrics has revived the music for me. Dancing to these tunes back in the day, I would lose myself completely.
ETS is their most recognizable song it is like their anthem. And that part after was interlude to next song which is not part of Enjoy the Silence.
What i get is "if anyone speaks while i'm holding you... it'll ruin the moment. Even if it's a nice thing to say... just have the moment"
Dave is singing, martin was singing back ground, flood and alen maded a dance track since martin wanted it more of a blues song. Martin pointed out it was a guy who had everything. The resason they are playing the instruments with this album and next was because they were getting killed by people and the newer groups with them saying they were not a real band since they were not playing real instruments in the studio and live on stage.
Ironically, perfect song to blast in the car while flying up the highway. Kick-azz song!! 😀
Loved your reaction to ETS, especially the interlude crucified 😂, the interlude isn’t part of the song it’s just one of many interludes that go between songs in the album, there’s one more interlude for the song Blue Dress in the album
You should check out the Live version from Berlin! They are much older but a great rendition. Also the Exitlude is called Crucifide & was only on the album. Not really part of the song. That was Andy Fletcher saying Crucifed!
"Crucified" is a Interlude two.
Interlude one is of the Album "Music for the Masses" the last 30 seconds ("Mission Impossible").☝
I can't wait for Blue Dress. That's my favorite Violator track
One of Depeche top songs without doubt! Though the next track policy of truth is on the level!
I didn't know that there was something or someone on earth who had never heard this song, I thought that only the rocks on the moon could not have heard it!!!
Do you go back and listen to the albums all the way through later? A lot of the rise and fall of the tempo and themes on their albums aren't clear without listening to the whole album.
love your rection
The end is an interlude....seperate track. Only on the album, not on the single.
Yeah
I forgot to say that I always love Martin's harmony with Dave 😁
I was 12 years old when I first heard Enjoy The Silence. This song is just magical for me, especially live.
ETS was for several weeks #2 in Germany.
Pure brilliance.
E-SSENTIAL! The BEST Song they Ever Created. MY FAVORITE SONG... OF ALL-TIME! It won Brit Award for Top Single of the Year and made it to #1 in over a dozen countries around the world. You need to branch out and watch other live versions of this from later tours. You just can't go wrong with it! 😉🥰 Cheers! - Joey
You like the studio version? Try it live 😱😱😱
(Me before watching) I hope you have the full version... ETA: Good! Yay!
This album was one of the very first CDs I bought as a teenager... Love this group
Martin is still killing it up there in the upper octave in his 60s. Just saw them last week and what a killer show. I don't know if you react to live performances but the Live In Berlin version of this is incredible.
I was 8 years old when this song came out, and I remember being struck to my tiny little core how beautiful this song is.
An interesting observation about this song, which is considered the greatest hit of the band (with Personal Jesus and slightly ahead of Never Let Me Down Again:
There is hardly and DM fan that dislikes this song, but there is also hardly a DM fan who names Enjoy the Silence as their all-time favourite (some do, but only very few). Same for me, this song is an easy S rank for be, but it's not my all-time favourite. It isn't even in my Depeche Mode Top 10 (but might make it into the Top 20 which is still great). But it's kind of interesting that this song in particular, as their "signature song" and the song almost everyone knows (even people who have never heard of the band), hardly makes it into the, let's say Top 5 of the most die-hard DM fans.
If you have the time and remember, check out the video. It's absolutely one of the most BEAUTIFUL videos
Love ❤️ this one!!
A song about meditation
You are listening to an interlude at the end - which does not belong to the song...
It happens when something is hyped, expectations rarely live up to.
Probably your reaction would have been more positive if no one had said a word about this song in advance...
To be really honest, It's kind of a surprise that you have not heard this tune before in any kind of context. It's such a well played song from 1990 and forwards. Covers left and right (for better or mainly worse). Even and not to be rude, my grandmother that was born in the late 1920s knew this one. This is like The Beatles kind of big they we're around this time (mainly because it's such a good pop song).
If you really want to know how the song was meant to be, check out the Harmonium Mix, it has Martin Gore on vocals and is a ballad. Pray to the gods that Alan Wilder (with Flood) made this what it is. :)
And as always a very good reaction!
Enjoy the silence (Live in Berlin) .... Perfect!
Everyone and their granny has covered it.. From Star Industry to kean to Lacuna Coil to Susan Boyle
It might grow on you. I never get tired of this song, whereas I do get tired of "Personal Jesus."
The bit tacked on the end, is 'Crucified', one if their filler bits they usually add onto the albums 🤣
This is my favorite song of all time … ever. And I love that you love it!
React to the Live version from Berlin, they sould even better live. You asked how successful was this song, Depeche Mode is still touring 4 decades later and selling out big venues.
This song and Personal Jesus are probably the most radio-played DM songs, to this day. Good song, but having heard it SOOO many times, it's just not one of my favs at this point.
The day I bought this album I got it as a record cause yeah! Over the next 4-6 months I wore the album down and bought it again! I have bought it about 6 times as a record and CD's and every penny I spent I would do it again! This song transported me and was like eating ice cream on a warm day! Just to damned good!
Also loving your reactions man! Depeche Mode was my number one all time best band till Chester of Linkin Park died! Then they became my second! Also love you realizing that Dave and Martin are both singing here! It is magical when they do!
Ive listened to this song alot of times since this video. And i got to say it gets better each time i listen 😁
And thank you soooo much for watching Nathan 😄
@@SephPlays Wow thank you too man it is always amazing when people start thge trip down into great music and it is always fun to watch them and the excitement they get from it! Keep it up man try everything!
This song is awesome live. The audience sings along with the chorus during the concert. It's amazing!
Epic song!
Waiting for the Night is in MY S tier
I remember hearing it for the first time, and how good that guitar line sounded. Something really beautiful about it. They really are the best at making poppy, uplifting sad songs. I love that you listened to the "Crucified" instrumental. The darkness is never far away with their music. It was a sign of where their music would go with the next album
The guy still lived 40 years without having listened once to Enjoy the Silence.
I went 33 years without even knowing DM at all 😅 thats more shocking to me to be honest 😅
It only gets better from here my guy.
Were you feeling the pressure on this one??? Haha.
I still remember the first time I heard this song like it was yesterday (and it was 33 years ago 😬). The video came on much music in my aunt's basement and I was completely transfixed. Live, this song is an anthem and a crazy dance immersive experience.
Are you planning on watching the official videos? I feel like for Violator especially, it's a must...
I agree with you I prefer Never Let Me Down to me is a better song as well as Stripped but ETS is still up there
ETS is great but I have many songs ahead of it, including others from Violator. DM just has too many epic songs.
❤
Will you listen to Bloodline by Recoil after finishing Violator?
I would love a going through of Recoil, but after the first couple albums it is a lot of going a bit further out than what is he is used to with Depeche for sure. I wouldn't mind his doing the first couple Dave and martin solo albums, but if he starts doing Soulsavers i'm out.
the song is a 10/10, enjoy the silence was one of the greatest songs ever in all of history of music, i was waiting to see this video so long before, and the crucified part is a interlude leading to the next song, spoiler! its policy of truth
Please check out the live performance of this song in Berlin 👌you won't regret it.
The end is not part of the actual song..
Aquatic Ambience from DKC? :)
Watch the VIDEO! It is ICONIC
Hi Seph, look at Alan Wilder`s project called Recoil and try to analyse several songs please.
Ok, now this is THE MASTER SINGLE, of DM MUSICal biography, a máster PIECE, lirics and music,,, a must hear before you die,,,, but the live versión in BERLÍN 2014 IS 100% better than studio versión, must see all thd crowd singing together,,,,,
Here is the House is more beautiful than Enjoy the Silence
Some of the Violator era B-sides and alternate versions to hear once you complete the album songs:
Happiest Girl (Jack Mix)
Sea Of Sin (Tonal Mix - the "Jack" and "Tonal" subtitles sometimes confuse fans; these are the original versions of these two B-sides)
Sibeling
Memphisto
Kaleid
Enjoy the Silence (Harmonium)
Personal Jesus (Acoustic)
Sentimientos contradictorios, por un lado escuchar la canción junto con el vídeo original es una experiencia audiovisual, ya que el vídeo es tan icónico como la canción, y por otro lado el que te hayas atrevido a escuchar el interludio entre las dos canciones me ha alegrado mucho.
I know a lot of people like this one, but I don't. I like it yes, never turn it off, blast it on occassiond, but Halo and several others are at the top of the list. This is number 11. I don't think it sounded anything like the video game. I must have heard it wrong. I miss your singing voice.
Minimum triple banger
You've been living under a rock. LOL!
Like somebody cannot heard it in past? It was in radio and almost everywhere for 20 years at least 😀
This man just fall down from moon?
Never even heard of DM before like 9 months ago 😅 they just aren't played here. Which is a freakin terrible shame if you ask me!
@@SephPlays So in which country radio stations agreed they will no play DM at all? I am from Czech Repubilc and DM was really big thing here.
@@antoninsebera152 no clue, never really liked the radio. was always a tape/cd kinda kid 😂
@@SephPlays so really man from the moon. Ok
@@antoninsebera152 i don't know what to say really 👽👽 heading back to my crater now 🌛
First time hearing Enjoy the Silence begs the question… Where the F@ck have you been??!
Well, time ro listen to ‘in your room’ of SOFAD 😉
didn't streets of rage come out in 1991
Slightly fast tempo, in the clip it is slower.
Again, once you're done with all the songs, go back and listen to the album straight through. The songs aren't really meant to be chopped up into segments. The album is meant to be a *whole* .
it´s not my favorite song, but it´s a good song :)
Have you been living under a rock at the bottom of a hole 🕳️ in the center of the earth on the event horizon at the center of the galaxy🤣
one other person thought i was probably on living the moon haha
Your inability to figure out who is singing what after all this time is baffling.
i love DM, i love violator, but i hate this song , therei is nothing good in it for me. boring song
I think, he is acting - not reacting. How can you not have heard (of) this SONG. Nice person though...
Im definitely not acting. Want to see my acting? check out my white Christmas video on here then compare that with this haha
