"When I played what she'd done back to the others they were like, 'Who is this crazy talented person?!'" "I sent over an early version of the song 'Shadow'," explains Curran. All things considered she is a star in the making. Her haunting melodies and soul-baring intensity is - by the admission of her own bandmates - what truly brought this music to life.
However, it was only when Wynne became involved that this truly started to feel like a band destined to go somewhere. Lifeson himself is proudly aware of how little of it crosses over with the band that made him famous. "Envy Of None"'s 11 tracks - which ricochet between various shades of alternative, experimental and synth rock - throw surprises at every turn, twisting dark melodies against contemporary pop hooks. Over the last few years, Lifeson has been focusing on a new project that, no matter how well-acquainted you are with his discography, will undoubtedly shatter all seeds of expectation and blow the mind. His influence can be heard on countless bands around the world, from indie shoegaze and math rock to heavy metal and beyond. As a founding member of RUSH, he's been able to explore more musical ground than just about any other guitar player out there - taking rock to new progressive heights throughout the decades and always in the most wildly inventive of ways. Lifeson is no stranger to the concept of evolution.
#DEPECHE MODE SONGS ABOUT LIARS FREE#
Gore’s angelic, soft and emotional vocals do seem to suit these types of love songs quite well, though, so maybe it’s not surprising after all.įeel free to comment on the list and tell about your own favorite love songs by Depeche Mode.ENVY OF NONE, the new band from Alex Lifeson ( RUSH), Andy Curran ( CONEY HATCH), Alfio Annibalini and singer Maiah Wynne, will release its self-titled debut album on April 8 via Kscope. Also, half the songs on this list are sung by Gore: I didn’t do it intentionally, I only noticed it after finishing it. It Doesn’t Matter is a song about one sided love, once again sung by Gore and the playlist ends with the hauntingly beautiful ballad from Songs of Faith and Devotion (also sung by Gore).Īll in all, Depeche Mode’s love songs seem to cover pretty much all the different aspects and forms of love you can imagine (I couldn’t possibly include them all on this list). Strangelove is about some sort of a sadomasochist relationship, which seems a bit of an odd theme for quite a successful hit song. Then we have a bit of old Depeche Mode: See You, which is the first single written by Martin Gore, Somebody, a beautiful ballad that Gore sang naked in the studio according to Alan Wilder and Just Can’t Get Enough, the pop hit from the 80s about not getting enough of somebody’s love. This is definitely one of the best tracks from the album it’s on, Exciter.
I Am You might as well be about addiction (or that’s one of the interpretations of the song I’ve read in somewhere), but it could also be about a relationship that’s quite like an addiction, maybe even destructive. Finally a song sang by Gahan, this track is about wishing your lover to return (we all know what that feels like don’t we?). This time he’s not the baby faced teenboy anymore though, but an adult who’s seen a lot and experienced a lot and it can really be heard in his voice, which makes it so rich and lovely to listen to.Ĭome Back is the newest song on the list as it’s from Sounds of The Universe (2009). I can’t blame them, that track would make me fall in love with whoever was singing it…ĭamaged People is then again quite a different kind of a love song, lot darker than A Question of Lust (obviously songs get quite dark if you mention dying in them), but it’s also a song sung by Gore. The song got girls to swoon over Martin Gore and his angelic vocals. The list starts off with probably the cheesiest love song Depeche Mode has ever done: A Question of Lust. The Playlist: The Ten Greatest Depeche Mode Love Songs Now you can all have a very Depeche Mode Valentine’s Day with this playlist. It was a bit difficult to narrow the list down to just 10 tracks, but I managed to do it. In the end, everything seems to come down to love, at least in music, and Depeche Mode is no different.įrom the endless archives of Depeche Mode, I found these ten lovely tracks that are about being in love in some way or another.
