This is one of those remakes where it is better than the original and I am a HUGE Leonard Cohen fan as well. Martin's version just captures it so beautifully. HUGE Depeche Mode fan as well. Been with them since the beginning.....
Jennifer I agree. I am also a huge LC fan and like his voice but when I heard Martin Gore's version I was addicted I think he conveyed the meaning of the song so well. I used to listen to this on my way to work on repeat over and over. Love the rythmns too. Thanks for the upload.
Maybe I'm still hurting I can't turn the other cheek But you know that I still love you It's just that I can't speak I looked for you in everyone And they called me on that too I lived alone but I was only Coming back to you They're shutting down the factory now Just when all the bills are due And the fields they're under lock and key Tho' the rain and the sun come through And springtime starts but then it stops In the name of something new And all the senses rise against this Coming back to you And they're handing down my sentence now And I know what I must do Another mile of silence while I'm Coming back to you There are many in your life And many still to be Since you are a shining light There's many that you'll see But I have to deal with envy When you choose the precious few Who've left their pride on the other side of Coming back to you Even in your arms I know I'll never get it right Even when you bend to give me Comfort in the night I've got to have your word on this Or none of it is true And all I've said was just instead of Coming back to you Leonard Cohen
It's amazing how well he captures the feeling of this song. The song itself is a wonderful poem about the struggle between desire and pride, and both Cohen's and Gore's versions express that conflict beautifully. But while Cohen's version sounds simply resigned to that fate, Gore captures a desperation and hidden suffering that is just crushing. When you still love someone that's hurt your pride, you try constantly to talk yourself out of going back... "All I've said/ is just instead/ of coming back to you". Brilliantly done.
+TheDerpKingdom Yes, I like your opinion on what you got to say about Martin's version of this song. Martin Gore sings with emotion. He's an amazing singer.
I completely agree THEDERP KINGDOM....used to listen to Martin Gore's version when I first bought Tower of Song CD and was mesmerized by HIS rendition...I think there are two on that CD...I had never heard of him or Depeche Mode...you describe it beautifully. Love the arrangement too.
Love Gore's version of this song. Yes, the desperation of it all. When I first heard it on Tower of Song, I didnt know who he was, and kept playing it over and over it was so powerful. Than I discovered he is from Depeche M. Don't really care for them, but love martin gore.

I came by this many years ago.
It's not bad.

... 💔😥❤️ This is amazing. Thank you, Mr. Martin L.Gore❤️🙏
RIP Leonard. So glad I got to finally see him on his last tour. This is my favorite cover I immediatly needed to hear again.
Martin in another life (if he was raised in the united states) would've been an amazing country/blues singer songwriter
Yes!
I think his dad was an Afro American soldier. So, there is an American connection ...
I'm keeping this on repeat for 3 hours now. Amazing song!
A Canadian classic made even more amazing by Martin's interpretation.
Yeah totally agree with you
Maybe I'm still hurting
I can't turn the other cheek
But you know that I still love you
It's just that I can't speak
I looked for you in everyone
And they called me on that too
I lived alone but I was only
Coming back to you
They're shutting down the factory now
Just when all the bills are due
And the fields they're under lock and key
Tho' the rain and the sun come through
And springtime starts but then it stops
In the name of something new
And all the senses rise against this
Coming back to you
And they're handing down my sentence now
And I know what I must do
Another mile of silence while I'm
Coming back to you
There are many in your life
And many still to be
Since you are a shining light
There's many that you'll see
But I have to deal with envy
When you choose the precious few
Who've left their pride on the other side of
Coming back to you
Even in your arms I know
I'll never get it right
Even when you bend to give me
Comfort in the night
I've got to have your word on this
Or none of it is true
And all I've said was just instead of
Coming back to you
Leonard Cohen

'Another mile of silence, while I'm coming back to you...'
When he hits that note 😍
Love>pride its not love if you don't go to your partner. It was never love if that's the case
Martin's version of this beautiful Leonard Cohen song is outstanding.
LOVE MARTIN LOVE
Wouldn't even know it was a cover. Loved this version since I was a teenager 😍
I love this song so much 🙂
it's an electrocountry , good I like a lot
This ranks with my very favourite Depeche Mode songs even though it's MLG solo and a cover. Almost too beautiful to cope with.
