One Thing

== Notes ==
In a syndicated interview for Theinterviewpeople.com, Dave Gahan says:
Q: However, there's a song called 'One Thing', featuring the line: 'It's a different world today/ no one seems to care much anyway'. Is that – at least subconsciously – social commentary?
A: Yeah. Well, you know what? It kind of goes in the subconscious, but also in the conscious. And I wouldn't – it would be impossible to not reflect on that stuff. Especially travelling around, seeing the changes, seeing the problems that still exist here in the world. And we still have this incredible problem of not being able to share the same space [chuckle] – the World. And, yeah, it creeps into the work, definitely. You know, I say in that song, 'it's a different world today, no one seems to care much anyway.' And then I immediately follow that with 'don't listen to what they say/ they don’t know what they're fighting for.'
Q: Are you referring to Mr. Cameron?
A: [laughs] Yeah! So, you know, and also what I do, what happens with me is, quite often what’s going on in my personal life at the time – it creeps in as well. And then I look outside of myself, and I'm part of that. So it, it starts at home. [chuckles]
[...]
Q: And it's “I still believe in life on Mars” – as quoted in 'One Thing'?
A: Yeah.
Q: Is that referring to the Bowie song?
A: That's my little… yeah, cause the song is true to me. You know, I still, you know…
Q: Does it stand for an era and for a musical environment that's close to your heart?
A: Well, it stands for the song. The song is still a song that I can play and listen to, and everything feels OK. I can play 'Life On Mars' and to me the world seems a better place.

Peace

is a song from the 2009 album Sounds Of The Universe by Depeche Mode. It was released as a single on 15 June 2009.
== Notes ==
Martin Gore told Billboard: 
"I wrote ['Little Soul' and 'Peace'] back to back, and the flow of the album started to make more sense. I really felt they had a spirituality to them. That somehow set a cornerstone for the rest of the writing."
Martin Gore told Mojo magazine in 2009:
"['Peace' and 'Little Soul'] are two of the most spiritual songs I've ever written. Peace will come to me. Inner peace. I don't want to come across as a born-again Christian or some New Age hippy. But maybe it is about feeling more connected to the universe."
Martin told Think-silly.com in February 2009:
"'Peace' is my personal favourite. I think it could be one of the best songs I have ever written. It could be the next single."
Martin also told Keyboard magazine:
"Two of the songs I wrote back to back: 'Peace' followed by 'Little Soul.' They were, for me, quite spiritual sounding. Although they sound nothing like it, it almost felt a little bit like something from [Stevie Wonder's] Innervisions. There's something spiritual in that sense to them. It might seem really weird to be talking about Stevie Wonder. There's nothing that we ever do that really sounds like somebody else directly. I think it’s in my warped head, there’s something Stevie Wonder-like about 'Little Soul'."
Dave Gahan told Under The Radar magazine:
"When Martin played it to me for the first time I turned around and said, 'I think that's one of the best songs you've ever written.' Even in the demo form it was apparent that it was so full of melody, I thought it was just beautiful. Sometimes I don't know where he comes up with this stuff to be honest."

People Are Good

is a song from the 2023 album Memento Mori by Depeche Mode. On 5 April 2024, it became the seventh "release" from the album according to the official website's discography section.
== Notes ==
When newspaper Expresso asked Dave Gahan if this song was similar to 'People Are People', Gahan replied (translated from Portuguese):
"In fact, in a way, they both say pretty much the same thing. Not much has changed over the past 40 years. Why is there all this hate and all this fear? The question is always the same. But this new song is a bit different, because we thought it was quite funny to say that "people are good" and then add: "keep fooling yourself". This phrase, "people are good", is repeated many times, and what we ask is: are people actually good?"

Pimpf

is an instrumental song recorded by Depeche Mode during the production of the 1987 album Music For The Masses. It was released as a B-side on the single on 13 April 1987.
== Notes ==
Dave and Martin said in the commentary track on the DVD of '101':
Dave Gahan: "'Pimpf' was something to do with the Hitler Youth, or something like that, wasn't it?"
Martin Gore: "Yes, it was an instrumental that we originally started recording for - I think - the B-side of 'Never Let Me Down Again', and we liked it so much that we ended up putting it on the 'Music For The Masses' album."
Dave Bascombe told Super Deluxe Edition in July 2019:
"I'm so pleased with that [song]. I know that, that was the B-side to 'Strangelove' and then we were at Puk [studios] and they had gone off to do a video probably, they were away and I didn't have anything to do so, I just remixed it for my own sake because I thought that I could get it better and it was a much better mix, and they all came back and agreed. It wasn't planned to go on the album originally. I think maybe because I'd done a better mix or whatever, and it's such a strong track on the album [that they changed their mind]. But I do remember the tour and I saw them in Paris in some stadium and it is an incredible thing to open with. It was pretty scary actually, it was like a rally! You can imagine all sorts of dark things, you could use that for all sorts of various purposes but it was really powerful. That's a great track. I do love the kind of... more experimental stuff. That's Martin really, in his element, doing the vocals on that."
He also told Vaughn George in April 2020:
"On 'Pimpf', we we did in sequences. So [Alan] played one whole round, and rather than to keep going forever, we would drop in. We would then put separate tracks into to the other one. There was a seamless overlap."
When Depeche Mode was interviewed about the songs on the '101' CD for the April 1989 issue of French magazine 'Best', Alan Wilder said (translated from French):
"All of our concerts on the tour started with 'Pimpf', so now whenever I hear this melody, it evokes a very precise memory: it was a signal that we were about to enter the stage, a moment when I started to have cold sweats. 'Pimpf' was originally only a B-side, but it ended up being put on 'Music For The Masses'. I think that's what the young members of the Hitler Youth were called. This music reflects the political climate that was occurring at the time of the rise of Nazism. It's because of its orchestral, quite distressing aspect."

Pipeline

is a song from the 1983 album Construction Time Again by Depeche Mode.
== Notes==
Andy Fletcher told the 1984-01-07 issue of Melody Maker:
"We went down Brick Lane and just hit everything and then recorded it and took it back to the studio and then put it into the keyboard. That's how we made the track 'Pipeline'. We was like smashing corrugated iron and old cars. The vocals were recorded in a railway arch in Shoreditch - you've got the train three-quarters of the way through and the aeroplane up above. It's really interesting doing that."
Dave Gahan also told the 1983-08-20 issue of Sounds:
"Well 'Pipeline' was very experimental in that every sound on there has been made from us just out on the street hitting things, recording it and playing it back in different ways – like, even the vocal was recorded in a tunnel!"

Pleasure, Little Treasure

is a song recorded by Depeche Mode during the production of the 1987 album Music For The Masses. It was released as a B-side on the single on 28 September 1987.
== Notes ==
Dave Bascombe told Vaughn George in April 2020:
"There was a reverb called a Caul or something, that had a remote control, and I had never seen that before. And if you listen to that mix, it has different reverbs on every part, it's just me sitting with a remote control, doing that [pressing the buttons]. So my summary is, you sweat hours on it, get it all crafted, and this is me going through all the presets. It was great."
In Glitter Mix of 'Pleasure, Little Treasure' you can hear a sample which has been reversed and slowed down. In this sample you can hear Andy saying "It could probably work" and what sounds like Martin saying "Back to Back".
When Depeche Mode was interviewed about the songs on the '101' CD for the April 1989 issue of French magazine 'Best', Andy Fletcher said (translated from French):
"It's the B-side of 'Never Let Me Down Again', a good old rock'n'roll [song], fun to play on stage."

Poison Heart

is a song from the 2017 album Spirit by Depeche Mode.
== Notes ==
Dave Gahan told (archived):
[Christian Eigner and Peter Gordeno] sent me this guitar line, and it had a bit of a Muscle Shoals vibe. It was a very different feel and I got this melody in my head. [Martin Gore is] not a man of many words when it comes to others' songs [but he called] 'Poison Heart' the best song [I] had ever written. It's not intended to be a breakup song. I was watching the news on TV and I was writing through my own inability to really relate to another human being. There must be something wrong with me, poison in my heart or whatever. So it was fun to play with that imagery, and it became more worldly — greed and lust and wanting what you want when you want it and nothing else matters. So I was breaking up with myself — trying to evolve, trying to break up with old ideas that I think are working for me but are not in actuality. Fortunately, that's not my relationship with my wife. 'Poison Heart' complements another song on the album called 'The Worst Crime'. The lyrics to 'Poison Heart' are more of an internal dialogue, but 'Worst Crime' is looking outward.
He also told Amazon:
Sometimes it's hard to talk about things you've written in songs, the lyrics and stuff. You don't know where they come from, sometimes. It's sort of a throwback, it sounds like something that has come out of the '60s. When I first heard the guitar line that was given to me, I immediately — I don't know why — heard this phrase in my head, "You have poison in your heart", and that was immediately followed by "I'm sure of it". It's not something I'm sure of. I was sort of looking at myself at first. And then I had this whole other outside perspective as well with what was going on in the world, or in my little world, when I wrote it. Politically, there was stuff going on in England, all the talks about us doing Brexit, Brexit then happening, campaigning was going on over here at home. And I was like, "What's happening?" Some of the rest of the songs came together during that time. That song was written a good year ago or something. I think it's impossible to not be affected by stuff that goes on. But to me, the song was really about a relationship, this relationship that you can have with yourself or another person, or the world, however you wanna look at it. It doesn't quite work. And you have to take the blame and say how much responsibility you're gonna take yourself. It's kind of spiky, and it's actually one of my favourite songs that I've written. There's something really free about it, and it came quite fast, the lyric, and the melody came quite fast, and it all came together, which doesn't often happen. And I like the feel of it, the feel of is just like this '60s thing.
Andrew Fletcher told 91.9 WFPK that 'Poison Heart' as it ended up on the album was "just the same as the demo" version.

Poorman

is a song from the 2017 album Spirit by Depeche Mode.
== Notes ==
Dave Gahan told : 
"We recorded [Spirit] during the [2016 United States presidential election] campaign. We were recording during the time when Brexit was happening and when we finally got the news. A lot of change, a lot of "Really?"-type stuff happening. But it's been going all around the world, and this separatism, "I've got to keep mine, and get out of my way," and all the stuff we've been hearing for years about the one percent — "When are we going to see it trickle down?" It comes up in 'Poorman' on this album."
 told (archived):
"'Poor Man' people could say, 'OK, how could you say that [as a rich man]? But I agree in paying taxes and I would be quite happy to pay higher taxes. I think huge multi-national corporations should be paying tax and they should be paying large amounts of tax; I don't think it's right to do a deal with a country and not pay tax."
Gore also told (translated from Spanish):
"I think 'Poorman' is definitely influenced by the blues, but I think in general this album is less "blues" than Delta Machine. Maybe there's something "bluesy" in the way we write the lyrics."

Precious

is a song from the 2005 album Playing The Angel by Depeche Mode. It was released as a lead single on 3 October 2005.
== Notes ==
Martin Gore explained the meaning behind this song to netzeitung.de (translated from German):
"Well, my private life is pretty crappy. I'm about to divorce my wife, the situation has been going on for sixteen months. My life is certainly not a walk in the park. I also have three children. And 'Precious', the single, is a song that describes exactly this situation. But there are other divorce songs on 'Playing The Angel'. 'Precious' is about how my children cope with the divorce - which isn't very well. But the song ends with the verse "I know you learned to trust / keep faith in both of us". All of our songs, even the most depressive ones, contain hope."
Ben Hillier described the recording of song to HOME before it was released:
"The two [songs on 'Playing The Angel'] that are closest to the demos are 'Precious' and 'Macro'. Those two are pretty close to the demos. Apart from that, everything else kinda changed quite a lot really. I mean, both of those demos were absolutely excellent, especially 'Precious', I thought that was really good but it just needed to have a bit more dynamic and sort of drive to it."
Martin Gore told the November 2005 of Keyboard magazine:
"The main [piano] motif that goes throughout 'Precious' was on the demo, and remained intact for the version on the record."

Radio News

== Notes ==
 is an unreleased Vince Clarke-penned song by Depeche Mode that appears on the Summer 1980 demo tape. It was played at several early live concerts. Currently, 1980-09-20 Crocs, Rayleigh, Essex, England, UK is the only confirmed performance. You can listen to the entire track below:
<html5media>https://media.dmlive.wiki/stream/demos2018/07.m4a</html5media>
A lossless version is also available for download on the Summer 1980 demo tape page.
The track was refutably described by Daryl Bamonte in BONG magazine, issue 24 as having never been recorded. It is possible that he meant that the song was never recorded in the studio with intent to appear on an album or single. See below:
