Hold On

== Notes ==
Dave Gahan said in the Electronic Press Kit for Paper Monsters:
"There is something about it that is very simple and yet... it's very simple but at the same time it's very big, in the feel of it, it's just a universal kind of sentiment. And to myself as well the message in there is “hang in there”, and you've got to keep pushing and you've got to hold on to your dreams and ideas. And I just feel like, I guess, you know, in some ways the song is also about God, and what I feel, what God is to me and you know, what that is, whatever you want to call it – this power, the universe. It first came about lyrically because I felt like I'd been tested, I'm always being tested in different areas and I realised they weren't really tests, they were gifts, they were chances and things that were given to me to maybe make a change, maybe take a different road with something. That's really where the song came out of. I wanted it to have a sort of bluesy, sort of country feel to it but it's got a very modern edge to it, and I wanted the chorus just to be very, very simple. There's something about the way Knox played certain chords, and when we first... he had this little chord formation and he played it to me, and I had these words and a couple of verses and this idea for these two words "hold on". He started playing and I started singing the song, the melody over the top and it was just right, it was one of those ones where it really had nothing to do with either of us when we were writing it."

Hole To Feed

is a song written by Dave Gahan for the 2009 album Sounds Of The Universe by Depeche Mode. It was released as a double A-side single alongside on 7 December 2009.
== Notes ==
Dave Gahan told The Guardian in 2009: 
"This is one of the songs I wrote on the album, a very cynical song about wanting to fill a gaping hole but not knowing what to fill it with. About sometimes the idea having a hole to feed all being a figment of my imagination when I'm actually fine." 
He explained it in more detail in a syndicated interview by Steffen Rüth (translated from German): 
"It is about the fact that I am always thinking that there is something else out there - a person, a relationship, a drug, an adventure, whatever - that can finally fulfill my needs. Well, then you give into this stuff or person, with which you were so obsessed - and then you're disappointed. That's how it always goes. No matter what it is, no matter how great I am doing or how happy I am: I will never get into the state that I want to reach. My cynical self will appear in such moments. And I actually don't like this part of my character anymore. But it simply cannot be turned off easily. But I am pressing the pause button more frequently than ever anyway."
Dave Gahan also told Interia.pl (translated from Polish):
"In the studio, when working on songs, there is a collective effort. The composition of 'Hole to Feed' has ended up becoming something more rhythmic and lyrically cynical than its original version. Once we had developed the rhythmic structure of this song, Martin played the guitar with some great parts, and the transition gave the song a completely different atmosphere. At the beginning of the recording, we worked on the arrangement of the song, and in a way we tore apart the demo version of the song, looking for its strengths. And sometimes the drive of a composition is hidden in the shadows, it's not necessarily the most obvious element. This song has become much more twisted and faster than the demo version. Originally, this track had a spatial atmosphere, but Ben [Hillier] decided to give it a rhythm and build the rest of the composition around it."

I Am You

is a song from the 2001 album Exciter by Depeche Mode.
== Notes ==
Author Jonathan Miller interviewed late Exciter producer Mark Bell in 2001, who said: 
I don't think much of what Christian did is actually on the album. Most of the percussion you hear is electronic stuff I did myself, either on the MPC or in Cubase. I just got loads of silly noises from the analog stuff and then made layers in the sampler so the sound would change depending on velocity. It sounds more organic that way, though it's definitely electronic. I didn't really copy Christian's parts, but rather I was influenced by the feel of his playing - be it aggressive or light, or the frequency he played in to fit with the track. That way, we could EQ the original electronic percussion into that range.
Martin Gore said in the May 2001 issue of Keyboard magazine:
"[The high synth parts in the last verse] was Mark Bell doing some high string thing on the [E-mu] Emulator. He's such a great conceptualist of sound. I think he could take any sound and make it into whatever he wants."

I Cast A Lonesome Shadow

== Notes==
Martin Gore explained in the April 2003 issue of Rolling Stone France (translated from French):
"I discovered this song on a compilation less than a year ago. The original version is almost comical in its "cowboy sitting by the fire"-attitude, but I know very few songs that talk about loneliness as well as this one."
The daughter of this song's songwriter Lynn Rußwurm believes that he and co-writer Hank Thompson made more money through Martin Gore's rendition of their song than through any other song they ever wrote. [source]

I Feel Loved

is a song from the 2001 album Exciter by Depeche Mode. It was released as a single on 30 July 2001.
== Notes ==
Martin Gore told MTV Europe:
"I'll try and explain [the lyrics] to you. Do you know... when you feel... absolutely like shit? And you feel the worst you've ever felt in your life? And then somehow you think: 'The universe must like me, for making me feel like this'?" [laughs]
Martin Gore said in the May 2001 issue of Keyboard Magazine: 
"'I Feel Loved' had a dance theme to it. It was already hinting at a dance-floor thing. But when I actually did the demo, I think it was about 109 beats per minute, and Mark sped it up to 128. We got in a percussion player, and it ended up sounding like Hamilton Bohannon [laughs]. Even though the basic song is quite similar [to the demo], it's definitely taken on a different meaning. Apart from that, Mark added this really great [TC Works] Mercury. There are all these great virtual synths at the moment, but the Mercury is fantastic. Mark used it to get that aggressive, growly sound over the top, that really took it somewhere else."

I Need You

== Notes ==
Dave Gahan told Music Choice:
"'I Need You' partly is about needing life much more than I'd really care to admit. It's important to me to learn from it and learn from my own mistakes and not hide from them. I guess part of it is a little dig at Martin [Gore], some nights it turns into that, even at my band. It takes on different personalities [depending on] who I'm pissed off with."
Interviewed by Daniel Barassi in February 2003, he went into further details: 
"The lyric says 'You'll always need me more than I need you', then the hook goes 'I Need You'. The words are pretty cutting. It's all about relationships. It's all about life. It's all about my experience in life, what I have experienced so far. And I don't think I could have written these songs ten years ago. No way. I needed to live as much as I have so far, and the way I have, to get these songs. [...] They're honest, and it's the way I feel about things. My struggle with things. My struggle with life. I think it's a beautiful, wonderful thing, and sometimes I don't even want to get out of bed in the morning. If I do get out of bed, it's a struggle all day. Most of the time now, I am really excited about working, my family and making music, more than I've ever been, actually. I guess I'm a slow learner, but that's alright."

I Sometimes Wish I Was Dead

is a song from the 1981 album Speak & Spell by Depeche Mode.
== Notes ==
This song has three known distinct versions other than the album version. Each one is detailed below.
=== Early live version ===
There is an early live version of this song believed to be within the date range of November 1980 and February 1981, with the only available recording being from an unknown date and venue. The song's arrangement and lyrics are completely different from future versions. You can listen to the unfortunately poor-quality audio and read transcribed lyrics below:
<html5media>https://media.dmlive.wiki/stream/dm1980-1x-xx-1981-02-xx.aud.unknown.unknown.flac1644/08.m4a</html5media>
 Lyrics
This original set of lyrics is likely where the song's title came from since it makes sense in context; the last lyric of this version of the song includes "I sometimes wish that I was dead".
=== Spring 1981 ===
There is also the Spring 1981 live version which has an overall different sound to the album version but with the final lyrics. The best sounding version is from 1981-04-06 Bridge House, London, England, UK and can be listened to below:
<html5media>https://media.dmlive.wiki/stream/dm1981-04-06.aud.unknown.unknown.flac1644/02.m4a</html5media>
=== Sometimes I Wish I Was Dead (Flexi-Pop Mix) ===
This song was issued on a Flexidisc for the 1981-09-11 issue of Flexipop magazine and titled "Sometimes I Wish I Was Dead". This version was reissued in 2018 as part of the 12" singles vinyl boxsets, sourced from the master tape for significantly improved sound quality. The Flexipop version's intro, middle 8, and pre-outro differ from the album version, which was released later in 1981 as part of Speak & Spell.
The audio can be listened to from the official Depeche Mode YouTube account below:
Live versions of the song from Autumn 1981 and later closely resemble the final album version.

I Think Not

== Notes ==
Kurt Uenala and Dave Gahan have been working together since 2010, and own a studio, Schtudio Blanco, together since 2012. They have written several unreleased songs together since then. One of those songs was Where I Wait, released 6 years after its creation, on Kurt's name.
In December 2022, they released five spoken-word tracks as an EP. According to the press release:
Kurt Uenala has his fingerprints on more things than you may realize. While his name may be new to you, it’s possible you’ve come across collaborations he’s done under the moniker Null + Void, including Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Moby, John Grant, The Kills, Woodkid and most notably, Dave Gahan and Depeche Mode
Having worked in Gahan’s NYC studio for years, and traveling with Depeche Mode, Uenala became aware of one of Dave’s rituals. Sometimes a notebook and pen would come out. Something would get jotted down. But what? That remained a mystery.
Uenala now calls Iceland home, so he’s no stranger to isolation, but what about city-dweller Gahan? The two kept in close touch during lockdown, sharing thoughts and ideas.
“I always wondered what he was writing in the notebook,” Uenala says, “but I never pried. During one of our check-ins I eventually asked what he was scribbling down when he was off in some corner, or standing on his own, next to a studio window.” Gahan disclosed that they were thoughts, feelings, and observations that would likely never see the light of day.
But then again, why not? Living during a lockdown is unquestionably difficult, but fortune also favors those who are bold in challenging times. Gahan sent Uenala a recording of him reciting something from the journal.
In his studio, a decommissioned hospital situated on an Icelandic Fjörd, Kurt sat in front of a classic Oberheim synth with the recording, reacting to anything from the timbre of Gahan’s voice, to background noise. Inspiration also came from ambience in the black chapel in Uenala’s town, which has often acted as a natural reverb chamber when one was needed. Songs started to take shape, through a modified form of call and response. The confluence of tone, poem, and tone poem.
Both artists were pleased with the results, and agreed that the prose had more of an impact in concert with the music than it did merely existing, on paper, hidden in a notebook. Work continued, and produced a collection of recitations set to soundscapes. “Longing,” “Get Out,” “GOD,” “I Think Not,” and a piece born from the first recording Gahan sent, “Cracks Are Showing,” were completed, then assembled as the Manuscript EP, which will be released on December, 16th.
Dave Gahan: “I’m not sure why, or when, exactly, I wrote these short pieces. I knew they were never to be songs. I do know that they were written when I was alone. Sometimes in a hotel room. Where? I can’t recall. Sometimes standing by the ocean, or walking the beach in winter. Sometimes on the empty streets of New York City, during the lockdown. Always whilst feeling the beauty, power, and loneliness of a world beyond me.”

I Want It All

is a song from the 2005 album Playing The Angel by Depeche Mode.
== Notes ==
Ben Hillier told the November 2005 of Keyboard magazine:
"The drum sounds on 'I Want it All' are those [three ARP 2600s], run from the 1601 as we played with the envelopes and filters."
From an interview with programmer Dave McCracken for Home:
"[...] There's a song – we called it 'Everything'. What's it called?... Yes, [I Want It All], that's the one! When it came out I was like "They did another song", because the title had changed. But that song fitted the album from a melodic point of view, but there were better songs than that. 'I Want It All' was very challenging, making it into a Depeche Mode track from a Dave Gahan track."

I Want You Now

is a song from the 1987 album Music For The Masses by Depeche Mode.
== Notes ==
Dave Bascombe said in the 2006 Music For The Masses Remaster DVD documentary:
"It was actually an accordion with just no keys held down. There's a button you press on the accordion which lets all the air out. And that's all it was. But it does sound really disgusting. It's great! Well, that song has got some heavy breathing on it anyway, which we sampled from God knows where - I think we actually sampled it from a porn movie, and then we got some girls in to add to it, to make it a bit more hi-fi or something."
Dave Bascombe elaborated on it to Super Deluxe Edition in July 2019:
"Well, the breathing, the two samples, originally were sampled from a porn film. They were really lo-fi. Then it was Fashion Week when we were in Paris which terrible [sic], you know [laughs] so models turned up at the studio and we got them to do the samples, just to get it a bit more hi-fi!"
Although I Want You Now was not played during the 1987-1988 Music For The Masses Tour, it was performed at least once during the Soundcheck.
== Studio outtake ==
This outtake, recorded at the Guillaume Tell Studios, is significantly different from the album version; due to this fact, this version is sometimes thought to be a demo, but it is definitely an outtake.
