    This is one of my Top 10 favorite songs. That killer bass, the driving beat, those gorgeous strings, the beautiful harmonies. It's dark, powerful, and somehow uplifting all that same time. Instrumentally this Alan's finest hour. I think both Martin and Alan provided harmony, but Martin I'm sure is the highest and most pronounced. There are two songs that I especially think should have been singles, this one and Photographic on Speak and Spell.

    I have been a DM fan for about 35 years now. You cannot even imagine how many times I listened to their songs. I have never ranked them, but I love your rankings. Yes Halo is absolutely stunning and can't get bored with it. You are right it is not mainstream. I never heard it on the radio. The ones on the radio are Just Can't Get Enough, Personal Jesus, Enjoy The Silence and Strangelove.

    ten years ago. It's raining on the street and in my soul. Depeche Mode play this song in concert, in the background there is a big red triangle, the Berlin Wall and a woman walking a swan. Once you see the clips, you'll understand sooner. I find a hand-painted picture of these events. From my ex, when I was left alone, in a big city. At the time when this masterpiece accompanied my steps. It was raining in my soul, but I boldly kicked my foot forward like Dave when he sings this song. Boldly and forever.

In the morning I woke up and listened to Halo again. Since then it's been my fave song in the world.

I actually found a very good audio quality footage of the first date of the tour (Frankfurt 1st night), and I think it's the best version of the song. Because you really like Gore's voice, I guaranty you will love the end, that is, if you ever react to it.

    I hope they’ll do another masterpiece like this one day. The catchy melodies not over produced with sounds and not music as in their last opuses. The chorus that sticks in your head for a long time. I am sorry but I am unable to remember or sing along one of their recent songs… Violator is simply a kind of perfect record. 🎉
