Pure dark,pure melancholy and so much emotions in on song. Depeche Mode as its best. Goosebumps all over. Masterpiece,masterpiece and one more time masterpiece!!!❤❤❤
Martin says this song started out as a lullaby to his daughter...in an interview he alluded that it was originally about struggles with becoming a parent 🤷♀️ but its ambiguity lends itself to many interpretations and Alan and Flood put a darker layering of sounds ..yep
Soo many things i say about this song. Let's begin, shall we?!!? THE... BEST... SONG... on the SOFAD album. Period. Rich, Dark, Dramatic, Terrifying, Intense, Lush. All these descriptions fit. The Live version from DEVOTIONAL... WOW! A-MAZING... The instrumentation, rich layered sampling, visuals, Dave and Martin's vocals, plus Alan on Drums! It is so layers of sampling and nuances throughout and, for me, sets an Experience (just like you said)!! It keeps building and building until you can't take it anymore! It's an Obsession. For me, the song is about relationships or a relationship, with a person/s, what have you. Not a Good One for sure and could definitely be a metaphor for Dave's drug problems at the time too. Whether to Stay or Go. Again, open for interpretation. One of My Top 5-Best DM Songs of All-Time The Album Version definitely better than the single version. BTW, at the time of the tour, Dave was heavily into drugs, and a rift between he and Alan was very evident (kind of leading him in the direction of leaving Depeche Mode, which he did in 1995). Definitely, one of Alan Wilder's best live instrumental works Ever... for Sure!!! Cheers - Joey
Besser kann man es nicht erklären. Meine glasklare Nummer 1! Also live 1993 Devotional Tour! Ohne Worte! Jeder hat seine persönlichen Eindrücke. Für mich der Song over the top…
Actually, this song was the first time I watched something related with the Devotional tour. It was december of 1993 and I was walking down the "Quilca" street here in Lima-Peru, well known for its bohemian & cultural spirit, and there was a music store with this big tv playing the VHS of the concert. My mind was just blown away with the powerful scene of Alan Wilder banging those drums as if his life depended on it and like a man in a trance and then I payed attention to Dave singing & moving around and all those brilliant sounds mixed with the lyrics took a new dimension for me... that was the exact moment when I became really obsessed with Depeche Mode. 🖤
For me one of the best DM songs ever ❤. The atmosphere, the darkness, in outro some glimpse of hope. It reminds me the storm, that kind, which cleans the air and after, you can breath better. My first interpretation was that the song is about some kind of obsessive love or relationship. Or the "ghost" of lover, who you cannot forget. Someone, who maybe doesn't want you to forget, who "will allways be here."
You can say its about a drug addiction.. you can say that this is about a relationship..or bdsm kind of stuff.. this is DM. You can have your own personal meaning.
Notice how the soft choir chords in the intro provide a hint as to what is to come later in the song. They intensify for the middle eight after the first chorus, and then come back to show their true menace in the outro.
I get goosebumps when ever I hear this song live. A concert audience favorite too. It’s hits deep. 🕸️ one of their best indeed! I knew you would love this song. 🤩🫶🏼DM🫶🏽
It is absolutely "dark". Depeche Mode, with its sound and M Gore's music and lyrics, have always had significant traces of blackness in them - although there are also more gleeful and glitzy songs. This is DM at its darkest but also at its most epic and at its best - in my opinion. A Wilder as a sound creator was at his peak, with a magnificent song as well. I think and believe that it was to this epic sound that Wilder wanted to reach. A combination of electronics and more "humanistic" and "live" sounds. He also says himself that "In your room" is the song that he himself ranks highest among his involved productions with DM. The interesting thing about Depeche's soundscape is that it is impossible to define how or where the sounds come from. Regarding other electronic bands at this time, take Erasure for example, you can often define the sounds as belonging to a certain synthesizer. You can't do that with Depeche, apart from the earliest records
I think the song is about codependency. Martin's written a few songs about that. Only when I lose myself is another. I think this is peak Depeche Mode. The best of Martin and Alan working together. The song is in a class of its own IMO. There's nothing else like it. It's like they tapped into a frequency we can't hear and then recorded it. It has that otherworldly vibe. I miss Alan in DM a lot
The concept behind the video was created by their longtime visual director Anton Corbijn. Everyone in Dave Gahan’s inner circle knew how bad his drug abuse was and Anton didn’t think Dave had long to live. Therefore the models in this video recreate snips of the band’s past videos. It was meant to be a tribute to Dave if he had passed away. Thankfully Dave is still around and touring right now. I believe he just turned 60.
I agree with your interpretation of the lyrics. “Hanging on your words, living on your breath, feeling with your skin, will I always be here” describes the depth of a toxic relationship that the person knows is bad but can break free of because their partner is so intoxicating. The person is struggling between knowing this isn’t good, but also wants to stay because it feels so good. They’re torn between two paths.
I promise i will do all their albums "In order" and all their concert songs "In order" And every now and then throw in an official music video and interview Hope this clears things up 😉👍
Yeah you really should react to their Devotional Tour - Theres an official recording. Best DM Performance ever: Alan on Drums on certain Tracks, He even remade some old Songs to fit with the Sound of this era (everything counts, i want you now, fly on the Windscreen, and for the later Part of this Tour even a Rocky Version of a question of time)
Alan consideres 'Walking in My Shoes' and 'In You Room' as the best songs of DM they had ever made. If you are interested there is a series of 'documentaries' let's say, made by the band and other collaboratores around 2006 for the 25th anniversary of the publication of Speak & Spell, in which they go through the albums in detail up until 2001 with Exciter. this is the link of the first one. ❤ ua-cam.com/video/JtmiQ-r1zBs/v-deo.html
For me, I thought of the first girl I loved and was obsessed with. Deep down I knew I was just a boyfriend and she'd have more. "Will you lead me to your arm chair" was like will you make just a part of your everyday life. "Or leave me lying here" was I was just a temporary plaything. The whole song just feels like its so painful to feel love, which I never heard any other song do this. I've heard Martin was experimenting with S&M at the time and the slave lines were literal. It's crazy how this song can mean so many things to different people and all have this gut-wrenching emotion attached. Just a masterpiece.
Oh the pressure was on with this one! I do like most of what came after SoFaD but this song is PEAK DM. Intense, moody, sexy, dark... it just doesn't get much better than this. This song came out when I was an angsty, dramatic 17-18 year old and I turn into that person whenever I hear this song (which is often!)
Walking in my shoes, in your room, personal jesus, enjoy the silence and never let me down (101 version) are on the top of DM songs in perfection for me, its dificult to choose 1, since each gives an epic different emotion, each for a different mood. "Walking in my shoes" and "In your Room" when you feel in a bad mood, both realese those emotions just by listening. Enjoy the silence, personal jesus and Never let me down are for good mood, all 3 make you feel like flying, rising, like the greatest you could be.
When Anton filmed the video for this song, he honestly thought it was going to be their last album and video, because of Dave's addiction and the problems they had when recording, so the video has elements from eight previous videos. "Corbijn described the video as a retrospective of the work he had done with Depeche Mode. He said he made it that way because he wasn't sure if he was going to do another Depeche Mode video after it.He later elaborated stating, that this video was made during the rise of band troubles and of Gahan's drug addiction so it was uncertain whether the band would still exist for another video to be made."
Tu sais pourquoi je t'aime bien seph ? Parce que tu as tout compris a l'esprit musical de DM .. Un groupe qui mérite au vu de leur carrière tellement varié beaucoup plus . Bravo 👍 Seph
I think its about an obsessive love. Mart was never into drugs so how could he write about it? For me its a bout a deep love you can’t live without. Its NOT JUST A SONG sums up this perfectly, its an experience. I love this reaction and this track so much ❤
While Martin was never addicted to drugs like Dave, he did admit to having a problem with alcohol for a long time. I think as others have said, I get heavy vibes of dealing with the struggles of codependency but feel like it can lean in either direction of being towards a substance or a person. I feel like that's why this song in particular is so good because people can find their own personal connection to it for one reason or another.
Really enjoy your reactions Steph, you do make me smile. The tracks on Songs of Faith & Devotion are darker but brilliant. As you say, it's the feeling they give. If you can watch the live version of In Your Room.
It`s a brilliant track. I never heard anything like this it starts as a balled, then very electronic then rocky. no other song like it. It`s not all Alan tho, Martin did a lot not just making the song but all the notes the original sounds. I think you should review the single version after this Seph. Great work as always.
hey everyone . i heard that one of the sounds, the high note after your favorite slave 3 samples made from, 2 guitars. two of them was from the same guitar into 1 sample and then a third sample from a different guirtar and then sampled it into 1 sample to make this sound
I'll say it again ,Martin has always been a good writer but as a whole I think this was his best written album. The sound of the music was heavier and more mature sounding as well by this point. But all of it is timing really,what was going on in their lives, the music scene at the time..etc..
I am all a shudder with anticipation for your reaction to "One Caress". It's such an unexpected thing when you first hear it and I have no idea how you're going to react to it. We'll find out soon, I suppose.
In Your Room is a real musical peak of DM. Unbelievable album version and rockier single version. Very nice 'goodbye' videoclip (director Anton Corbijn thought its the end of the band because Gahan's drug problems and devastating tour). The videoclip is a mix of the visuals used in previous DM videos. Awesome single package by content and design. My favorite release. Do not miss Zephyr Mix used for videoclip. Do not hesitate compare both versions side by side - ua-cam.com/video/cGvZyrhObrg/v-deo.html
I get your point about songs merging with outro's and intro's on the albums.... Though on this album (LP) Judas was the last song on the A-side and In Your Room was the first on the B-side.....😊
Dear Seth. See the commands below! We all want your reaction to the Devotional-Tour. Yes. There is even much more emotionals to escape. And more different sounds and performance you`re seeing before. And remember... it was 30ty years ago! Easy timeless, i think. (Use now translate, or let it) Gerade wegen Deinen Reaktion, merke ich selber wie Zeitlos, bzw. DM Ihrer Zeit voraus waren. Ich finde Milleniumkinder vergessen die Genialität vom Gesamtgefüge von DM.
This is one of the "big ones." (I like the album version better than the single.) You should hear Tori Amos play it live on youtube. BTW the next song, Get Right With Me, has an interlude at the end, so KEEP LISTENING! 😊 Who replaced Alan? No one, nobody could. BTW you need to hear Alan's solo Recoil project, especially the first three LP's, "1+2," "Hydrology," and "Bloodlines." The later albums that came out after he left DM got worse and worse, like being dark for darkness's sake. I equated it to "Alan in search of a song." He needed Martin's song as much as DM needed him! It goes to show, he hasn't had a new album in 15+ years while Depeche flurishes!
And now, before you move to the next track (Get Right With Me... that also has an outro), you can react to the In Your Room (Zephyr Mix - a.k.a. Single Version-) because is waaaaay diferent to this original album version.
I heard that it was about a father looking at night at his child sleeping, hearing his breath, is he sleeping well ? Will he always be there for his child too, to protect him… to look after him
Could also be from gods perspective "looking over mankind" Or drugs 😅 or a weird relationship. I think thats why i love DM because their lyrics could be interpreted soooo many ways haha
To my ears, this one sounds like another of Martin's submissive songs ("your favorite slave") about an intimate relationship in which the sub is intoxicated with their dom, but in doubt as to the permanence of the relationship ("will I always be here", "will you leave me lying here"). But I read below that Martin has said it was about his baby daughter. That would be very strange given the decidedly dark soundtrack which accompanies the lyrics. The build is epic, unfolding like a black flower bud over 6 minutes. That third verse really kicks the song into high gear. (6:16) Love that added funky bass. Those descending strings in the outro. Alan has cited this as one of his favorites in the Depeche Mode catalog. I think the word you were looking for here (0:20) is crossfade or segue, when one track fades out and the next one starts or fades in while the fade of the prior track is still present.
And always remember, this album was a shock for many fans…. Long hair of dave, so different to all what they done before…. Some get along with this change, some not😅
Hi Seph, ich bekomme zur Zeit nur selten Benachrichtigungen von deinen Depeche Reaction Videos... merkwürdig. "In Your Room" ist einfach toll, es fängt langsam an und der Sound wird mit Verlauf immer voller. Da gibt es so viel zu hören, man muss es einfach öfter hören. Ich freue mich schon auf "Get Right With Me", love that.
I've always thought this song was about God: "hanging on your words, living on your breath... will i always be here?". Though, as many others DM's songs, lyrics for this one can be easily be interpreted as some BDSM stuff :]
To me this is once again about God, "you" being God. Makes sense and goes with the theme of the album...actually, take almost any song off this album it can be about God
I know many DM fans out there really love In your room. I didnt like it at all when SOFAD came. In fact i disliked SOFAD initially😅. To me SOFAD was a great shock. What had happend to my preciuos DM, and Dave with long hair😲. Eventually SOFAD grew on me, and its one of their best albums. In your room is still not my favourite track on SOFAD but i can appriciate it now, specially the lyrics💜
One of DM's best-ever songs. The single released was a rockier version. This is the better version, though.
there's no "better" in terms of art, there's only "I prefer" I think
@@Pootie_Tang That's true, but I wouldn't be surprised if most DM fans agree with me...
@@secretsymphonyI agree with ya buddy
Still gives me shivers
@@secretsymphony I disagree
Pure dark,pure melancholy and so much emotions in on song. Depeche Mode as its best. Goosebumps all over. Masterpiece,masterpiece and one more time masterpiece!!!❤❤❤
Masterpiece ❤!!! Best DM Song!!!
You got that right! Alan Wilder is a king of the sounds in this universe!
Not the king of ‘sounds of the universe’ tho lol
Listening to most of Recoil I'm imagining how DM would sound if they didn't let Alan go his own way.
in your room I think is one of the true masterpieces of DM, a perfect mix of genres, an extremely dark and melancholic text🖤
It's one of the most amazing songs ever. It still sounds so incredible 30 years ago.
You mean, 30 years "later"?
The best song of dM.... Thanks Alan Wilder
OMG 😂 Martín wrotte the melodies and the lyrics and y said thanks to Alan 😅
@@theflood2724 see your point totally yes Martin wrote a masterpiece but I also think Alan elevated it
A masterpiece. This is one of those songs that you play for someone when they want to understand what DM is all about.
Wait til you see them perform it live in the devotional tour...alans drumming on pointe 🥰
Yes! It’s spectacular and sexy at the same time. He was so good in that tour. 😊
I cant wait 😍
Close your eyes the last 2 minutes!!!
Martin says this song started out as a lullaby to his daughter...in an interview he alluded that it was originally about struggles with becoming a parent 🤷♀️ but its ambiguity lends itself to many interpretations and Alan and Flood put a darker layering of sounds ..yep
I always thought the lyrics are about sex or just love in general
Interesting. I’ll never think of it as a dirty sex romp again.
@@InnerLantern7 lol
One of Martin's best songs... with Alan's best music.
That Alans best song !!! That what He said...
Yes, this is an S-tier song for me too. One of my all-time favorites.
Soo many things i say about this song. Let's begin, shall we?!!? THE... BEST... SONG... on the SOFAD album. Period. Rich, Dark, Dramatic, Terrifying, Intense, Lush. All these descriptions fit. The Live version from DEVOTIONAL... WOW! A-MAZING... The instrumentation, rich layered sampling, visuals, Dave and Martin's vocals, plus Alan on Drums! It is so layers of sampling and nuances throughout and, for me, sets an Experience (just like you said)!! It keeps building and building until you can't take it anymore! It's an Obsession. For me, the song is about relationships or a relationship, with a person/s, what have you. Not a Good One for sure and could definitely be a metaphor for Dave's drug problems at the time too. Whether to Stay or Go. Again, open for interpretation.
One of My Top 5-Best DM Songs of All-Time
The Album Version definitely better than the single version. BTW, at the time of the tour, Dave was heavily into drugs, and a rift between he and Alan was very evident (kind of leading him in the direction of leaving Depeche Mode, which he did in 1995). Definitely, one of Alan Wilder's best live instrumental works Ever... for Sure!!! Cheers - Joey
Besser kann man es nicht erklären. Meine glasklare Nummer 1! Also live 1993 Devotional Tour! Ohne Worte! Jeder hat seine persönlichen Eindrücke. Für mich der Song over the top…

I used to love making choreographies to this song when I was young, so powerful and moving
Probably my favourite Depeche Mode song, it gets under my skin every time.
Alan Wilder - hands down, the most important member of Depeche Mode
For me one of the best DM songs ever ❤. The atmosphere, the darkness, in outro some glimpse of hope. It reminds me the storm, that kind, which cleans the air and after, you can breath better. My first interpretation was that the song is about some kind of obsessive love or relationship. Or the "ghost" of lover, who you cannot forget. Someone, who maybe doesn't want you to forget, who "will allways be here."
One of the best tracks ever!
I like your pure enthusiasm.😊
That is Alan playing drums on this track! "I'm hanging on your words. Living on your breath. Feeling with your skin. Will I always be here?"
You can say its about a drug addiction.. you can say that this is about a relationship..or bdsm kind of stuff.. this is DM. You can have your own personal meaning.
This is the best song on SOFAD in my opinion. Actually one of their best songs ever.
And the live version on Devotional Tour is epic.
the live version of "In Your room" is not so different from the album version, unlike of live "Walknig of my shoes" which has a deeper sound - IMHO
Devotional Live is the best DM Song!!! Epic ❤!!!
When you think there's no more place for another sound, here comes Alan to break your brain. It's amazing how many layers this song have.
Notice how the soft choir chords in the intro provide a hint as to what is to come later in the song. They intensify for the middle eight after the first chorus, and then come back to show their true menace in the outro.
That's the ultimate soundtrack for an eerie , gothic SM session.
I get goosebumps when ever I hear this song live. A concert audience favorite too. It’s hits deep. 🕸️ one of their best indeed! I knew you would love this song. 🤩🫶🏼DM🫶🏽

It's killing me I can't wait for you to get to one caress. Probably my favorite martin gore song ever.
My number ONE!!! Forever! As good as it’s best!!!
I think the song is about codependency. Martin's written a few songs about that. Only when I lose myself is another. I think this is peak Depeche Mode. The best of Martin and Alan working together.

You should do live version of this song with backup singers next. INCREDIBLE
Yes, I was thinking the same thing -- from the Devotional tour. Dave like you've never seen him.
Guys, he will do it. He goes chronologically. After finishing the album he goes to DEVOTIONAL. Do not spoil the surprise for him :)
@@CorleoneDiscoStar yes no spoilers
I promise i will do all their albums "In order" and all their concert songs "In order"
And every now and then throw in an official music video and interview

Why does everyone try to spoil the surprises, that Seph can have reacting to Devotional? I really want to see him with his jaw down on the floor.
Everything Counts was already remixed like that in the Violation Tour.
Yeah but there are No official recordings from the violation Tour - only bootlegs or fanrecordings.
@@Helmut_Steiger not wrong, depending of what you mean by era :)
Fantastic song about a suffocating relationship. No band can bring feelings like this across like DM ... absolute genious!
Alan consideres 'Walking in My Shoes' and 'In You Room' as the best songs of DM they had ever made. If you are interested there is a series of 'documentaries' let's say, made by the band and other collaboratores around 2006 for the 25th anniversary of the publication of Speak & Spell, in which they go through the albums in detail up until 2001 with Exciter. this is the link of the first one. ❤ ua-cam.com/video/JtmiQ-r1zBs/v-deo.html
Ill have to check it out at some point! Thank you for turning me on to this 😊
Thank you!
Depeche modes masterpiece
guarda il live, questa canzone mi ha fatto piangere!!!..you look devotional live in dvd, i'm crying with this song!!! bellissima performance
When this album came out I fell in love with DM over and over again with every track! This one hurt it was so good!
gives me goosebumps.
For me, I thought of the first girl I loved and was obsessed with. Deep down I knew I was just a boyfriend and she'd have more. "Will you lead me to your arm chair" was like will you make just a part of your everyday life. "Or leave me lying here" was I was just a temporary plaything.

I've heard Martin was experimenting with S&M at the time and the slave lines were literal.
It's crazy how this song can mean so many things to different people and all have this gut-wrenching emotion attached. Just a masterpiece.
Outros leading into intros are definitely specific to a time when you listened to the whole album from start to finish in order. It was brilliant.
Very claustrophobic and dark theme, but it sounds epic 👍😻👍
Oh the pressure was on with this one! I do like most of what came after SoFaD but this song is PEAK DM. Intense, moody, sexy, dark... it just doesn't get much better than this. This song came out when I was an angsty, dramatic 17-18 year old and I turn into that person whenever I hear this song (which is often!)
Walking in my shoes, in your room, personal jesus, enjoy the silence and never let me down (101 version) are on the top of DM songs in perfection for me, its dificult to choose 1, since each gives an epic different emotion, each for a different mood.
"Walking in my shoes" and

I ran through the whole album when it came out in 1993 on my home studio set up..when the album was released, that's 31 years ago.. 🎉🎉🎉
Had forgotten all about this track and can't believe how much I love it.
Well done Seph😊
A real masterpiece from Martin, especially from Alan😎
This is the best reaction of In your Room.👍 Bravo 👏
This is one of the best songs ever to me.
Tu sais pourquoi je t'aime bien seph ? Parce que tu as tout compris a l'esprit musical de DM .. Un groupe qui mérite au vu de leur carrière tellement varié beaucoup plus . Bravo 👍 Seph
I think its about an obsessive love. Mart was
never into drugs so how could he write about it?
For me its a bout a deep love you can’t live without.
Its NOT JUST A SONG sums up this perfectly, its an experience. I love this reaction and this track so much ❤
While Martin was never addicted to drugs like Dave, he did admit to having a problem with alcohol for a long time.

I feel like that's why this song in particular is so good because people can find their own personal connection to it for one reason or another.
Martin wrote many songs that weren't directly about him.
Really enjoy your reactions Steph, you do make me smile. The tracks on Songs of Faith & Devotion are darker but brilliant. As you say, it's the feeling they give. If you can watch the live version of In Your Room.
Finally the best song of all times. Please do the whole Devotional tour, you'll live them even more ❤
Ohh i definitely will not miss a concert 😍
It`s a brilliant track. I never heard anything like this it starts as a balled, then very electronic then rocky. no other song like it. It`s not all Alan tho, Martin did a lot not just making the song but all the notes the original sounds. I think you should review the single version after this Seph. Great work as always.
Theres's no other song like In Your Room. Not by another artist, even not by DM. the style the mood belongs and live in their own rules
The music crescendo is amazing ;) more and more powerfull
Love this one!
my favorite depeche mode song ever
Cuando escuches el final de esta canción del Devotional live, vas a flipar en colores.
hey everyone . i heard that one of the sounds, the high note after your favorite slave 3 samples made from, 2 guitars. two of them was from the same guitar into 1 sample and then a third sample from a different guirtar and then sampled it into 1 sample to make this sound

BTW the next song, Get Right With Me, has an interlude at the end, so KEEP LISTENING! 😊 Who replaced Alan? No one, nobody could. BTW you need to hear Alan's solo Recoil project, especially the first three LP's, "1+2," "Hydrology," and "Bloodlines." The later albums that came out after he left DM got worse and worse, like being dark for darkness's sake. I equated it to "Alan in search of a song." He needed Martin's song as much as DM needed him! It goes to show, he hasn't had a new album in 15+ years while Depeche flurishes!
Depeche Mode's best song. If you think this version is intense, wait until you see the Devotional Tour performance of this song.
it´s songs of faith and devotion....the song told exactly from this feeling, we all know this feeling :)
If i'm not mistaken, the song talks about Martin's little daughter, i would never have guessed in my life 🤔
Supposedly a lullaby written for her?
And now, before you move to the next track (Get Right With Me... that also has an outro), you can react to the In Your Room (Zephyr Mix - a.k.a. Single Version-) because is waaaaay diferent to this original album version.
The Lyrics (as almost every Martin Song) are a mistery, in all my years as a DM fan i've heard very wild interpretations for this...
It's actually Gahan that makes the higher voice in the chorus. His vocal range did improve. You can notice it because the voice is more "granular".
Omg that was Dave!?
@@SephPlays Yes :) Ypu can especially hear it in DTs mixes. He also doesbthe higher voices in the choruses of walking in my shoes and mercy in you
I heard that it was about a father looking at night at his child sleeping, hearing his breath, is he sleeping well ? Will he always be there for his child too, to protect him… to look after him
Could also be from gods perspective "looking over mankind"
Or drugs 😅 or a weird relationship.
I think thats why i love DM because their lyrics could be interpreted soooo many ways haha
DM's Magnum Opus
This is my favorite DM song, it's so dark and sensual as fuck
I've definitely always thought of this song being about addiction.
To my ears, this one sounds like another of Martin's submissive songs ("your favorite slave") about an intimate relationship in which the sub is intoxicated with their dom, but in doubt as to the permanence of the relationship ("will I always be here", "will you leave me lying here"). But I read below that Martin has said it was about his baby daughter. That would be very strange given the decidedly dark soundtrack which accompanies the lyrics.
The build is epic, unfolding like a black flower bud over 6 minutes. That third verse really kicks the song into high gear. (6:16) Love that added funky bass. Those descending strings in the outro.
Alan has cited this as one of his favorites in the Depeche Mode catalog.
I think the word you were looking for here (0:20) is crossfade or segue, when one track fades out and the next one starts or fades in while the fade of the prior track is still present.
One of my DM favourites, no question...
Pure BDSM.
One of my favourites, will you watch the Devotional Tour after the album is completed with B-Sides?
If i remember correctly, this was written as a lullaby. But I can be mistaken.
Correct ...Martin said so...started as a lullaby to his daughter...he felt trapped being a father but did not mind it...
I didn't know this! A lullaby huh?
This is my best of the best,from DM. 🖤🖤🖤
And always remember, this album was a shock for many fans…. Long hair of dave, so different to all what they done before…. Some get along with this change, some not😅
Hi Seph, ich bekomme zur Zeit nur selten Benachrichtigungen von deinen Depeche Reaction Videos... merkwürdig.
"In Your Room" ist einfach toll, es fängt langsam an und der Sound wird mit Verlauf immer voller. Da gibt es so viel zu hören, man muss es einfach öfter hören.
Ich freue mich schon auf "Get Right With Me", love that.
I've always thought this song was about God: "hanging on your words, living on your breath... will i always be here?". Though, as many others DM's songs, lyrics for this one can be easily be interpreted as some BDSM stuff :]
Love this song! Allthough i migth be in the minority I think I prefer the zephyr mix of this song :)
The band members also felt claustrophobic whilst recording the album in Madrid.
Yep, All of them were a complete mess in this era
In "Your" room... He is talking about a girls rooms and how he feels with her there.
The single Version is complettly different, but better.
❤
To me this is once again about God, "you" being God. Makes sense and goes with the theme of the album...actually, take almost any song off this album it can be about God
I know many DM fans out there really love In your room. I didnt like it at all when SOFAD came. In fact i disliked SOFAD initially😅. To me SOFAD was a great shock. What had happend to my preciuos DM, and Dave with long hair😲. Eventually SOFAD grew on me, and its one of their best albums. In your room is still not my favourite track on SOFAD but i can appriciate it now, specially the lyrics💜
Tranlstae this
..... tu conoces depeche mode mejor que nadie....
I dunno about that 😅 i still have a lot to learn haha
Listen to the Live version man- live Devotional version
After all, you have not listened ''Walking in my shoes'' and ''Condemnation''.
you should have watched the video, it goes well with the song
