Shine (Dave Gahan & Soulsavers song)

----
== Notes ==
In a syndicated interview for Theinterviewpeople.com, Dave Gahan says:
"[...] In fact, one of the songs – lyrically and melodically – I came up with the idea for after a concert… yeah, [chuckling] before that, actually… in Berlin, which was during the Sounds Of The Universe tour. And in fact, and Soulsavers as well… I think it was during that tour. Well, anyway, there was the song 'Shine' – which is the first song on the album – the idea of that, in my head came. And then when Rich finally sent me this guitar line later on – was the slide guitar part that's in throughout 'Shine' – I knew that that idea that I'd remembered would fit perfectly inside this particular piece. So, that was one of the first pieces that was new that came, that was for this record.
Q: As you mentioned 'Shine', the opening track: Any particular reason why you wrote that in Berlin, in the middle of Europe?
A: Well, it was actually inspired by an amazing concert that we did there, in a huge stadium in Berlin. And on that particular night – it was one of those nights where, as a performer, everything just fell into place. There was a fantastic atmosphere, beautiful night. My voice was working, everything was working, I could, you know…
Q: So it was one of those magic moments?
A: Yeah, one of those magic moments that sometimes happen on tour, and everything's in the right place at the right time. And it's one of those things, when you look around as well, at each other on stage, you all kind of know that it's happening. So I went back after that concert and these words just, and a melody line sort of came into my head. So I quickly recorded it into my computer, and put it away. And when Rich sent me a guitar line later on – the slidey sort of blues guitar line – I heard the whole thing kind of in my head. And with this big beat. And it all made sense. It's very simple, it's a very simple song with a very simple message. But it fit perfectly after that particular performance.
Q: Is that also a call for more optimism in a pretty dark and grim times? Does it work on a social and political level, too?
A: I hope so. I mean, it's one of those things that I really felt in that moment, during the concert. Where there was tens of thousands of people all in one particular moment together. Sharing that moment together. And what a wonderful feeling that is.

Should Be Higher

is a song from the 2013 album Delta Machine by Depeche Mode. It was released as a single on 11 October 2013.
== Notes ==
Dave Gahan says in the 2013-03-22 issue of Mojo magazine:
"I was out Christmas Eve, a nice restaurant, everyone drinking. I thought, 'Why can't I just have a glass of wine?' But I don't any more, because even one glass opens a whole Pandora's box. My mind immediately thinks, I can go much higher. That's what 'Should Be Higher' is about — that line, 'The lies are more attractive than the truth.' I still draw on that stuff when I'm singing and performing, to dig my way out of trouble."

Shouldn't Have Done That

is a song from the 1982 album A Broken Frame by Depeche Mode.
== Notes ==
In the middle of the song, some chatter can be heard that seems to have been reversed. When this audio is reversed again, it reveals Martin Gore telling a children's story:
The big bird is pecking
The little bird is pecking as well
But the big bird has got more worms than the little bird
So the little bird doesn't like this
He's after the worms that are really owned by the big bird
He flies over to the big bird's worms
Oh and what joy it was when he got those worms
And he flew away
He flew onto the top of the mountain [Martin starts laughing]
And the big bird was too fat
He couldn't fly [Martin laughs some more]
The un-reversed audio, generated using several channels from the 2006 multichannel remaster, can be listened to here:
<html5media>https://media.dmlive.wiki/stream/sample-source/ss-SHDT-story.mp3</html5media>
The story could possibly be related to the following explanation given by Martin Gore when a fan asked him in a letter (dead link; unavailable on archive.org) in 1982 about the etchings on DM's vinyl single copies, including 'Leave In Silence', which has the etchings "LITTLE BIRD'S PECKING / LITTLE BIRD'S TAKEN THE WORM!"Etching of Mute 7Bong1 "Leave In Silence" 7 inch UK vinyl; Depmod page Martin responded to him: "[...] These are our studio nicknames and sayings. Little Bird is the two track machine and Big Bird is the 16 track machine. Little bird's pecking means that the two track is running and LB's taken the worm means that a signal has shown that it is recording from the 16 track (Big Bird). Very stupid isn’t it (Andy's idea)."
The singing heard in the background of the reversed section is Martin singing "when I am king, you will be queen" several times. These appear to be lyrics from the traditional English folk song and nursery rhyme Lavender's Blue. A clearer excerpt of this audio created using phase cancellation of certain channels of the 2006 multichannel remaster can be heard below.

Daniel Miller wrote in the sleeve notes for the A Broken Frame Remaster CD in 2006:
"I remember we got Blancmange in to do some on-the-spot marching for 'Shouldn't Have Done That' because they were in the studio next door, making their record, and they were mates with Depeche Mode."
Someone, likely Andrew Fletcher, can also be heard shouting "Left! Right!" at the beginning of the audio above, as if he were conducting the march. This originally reversed audio is heard directly before the marching audio begins in the song.

Slow

is a song from the 2013 album Delta Machine by Depeche Mode.
== Notes ==
'Slow' is the first -penned song known to have been written and shelved before eventually seeing use on an album years after the time of its writing.
Daryl Bamonte told HOME in 2006:
"[...] Then when Martin recorded his demo's for [Songs Of Faith And Devotion] there was a really good song called 'Slow', which was excellent, had a sort of 'Dressed In Black' feel to it, I don't think the band even recorded that track."Source: "INSIGHT: Daryl Bamonte ... part 1" – Home, 2006. (archived)
Steffen Rüth asked Dave Gahan about this song in 2013, and he replied:
"I think it was a song from even earlier than that maybe. Maybe it was a song that was written for Songs Of Faith And Devotion. I don't really remember. It might be Songs Of Faith And Devotion it was written for. But at the time... as soon as I heard it, I said to Martin: "That's an old song." And he said: "Yeah, I needed to reinterpret it." He'd kind of reworked it. When Martin was demoing before, I seem to remember sitting in a meeting when we listened to the demos, and Alan [Wilder] kind of not getting it, just kind of... well, out of songs that we were going to record it just wasn't chosen at that particular time. So I guess Martin put it away, and it fits really well with everything we're doing now. Because of its blues influence, and I think Martin pulled from that school a lot more on this record."
Rüth also interviewed Martin Gore, and asked about this song:
Rüth: It is the case in a song like 'Slow' [that a positive sounding song is put together with blues]. Stylistically it is a blues song, but lyrically it's about...
Gore: ... sex. [laughs] Let's call it like it is. 'Slow' is a sensitive, erotic song about the joy of sex. Sometimes, things are very simple.
Andrew Fletcher told (archived):
"That, believe it or not, was a song that was written for Songs Of Faith And Devotion and for some bizarre reason never got recorded. Martin was going through his demos and came across it and said "Actually, this is quite good" so he did a new demo and it's a great song."

So Cruel

is a cover of the U2 song of the same name recorded by Depeche Mode for the tribute album AHK-toong BAY-bi Covered. The tribute album was released in the United Kingdom on 26 October 2011, and was subsequently released via iTunes as an album-only track. Note that this is the only track that Depeche Mode has ever recorded without a producer overseeing the project. It was recorded at Martin Gore's and Dave Gahan's home studios in Santa Barbara and New York City.
== Notes ==
Martin Gore told Q Magazine: 
"We first heard Achtung Baby working on Songs Of Faith And Devotion with Flood. It was the closest our bands ever got: U2 had become more electronic while Depeche Mode were working on a new rock vision. But there was never a rivalry. Bono used reverse psychology in his email, saying he totally understood why we'd say no. We just thought, Why not? 'So Cruel' is Bono at his best, words-wise. And we couldn't tackle 'One' - that would be almost sacrilegious."
Michael Lyons, Fletcher's brother-in-law, said at the time:
"There was some doubt initially from the DM camp as to whether they should contribute to this project. However Bono was key in making it happen. He is over the moon with the result saying [via an email to Martin] dm did with the song what U2 couldn't. He has been unbelievably complimentary towards the band for what they produced."

So Much Love

is a song from the 2017 album Spirit by Depeche Mode.
== Notes ==
 told Rolling Stone France:
"[...] the very last song that I wrote for the album [Spirit] was 'So Much Love', because I felt that I had to write something positive. I felt that I had to say that, with all this going, it doesn't matter what you do to me, there is still a lot of love in me."
Gore told Keys Magazine (translated from German):
"Sounds really influence the composition of a song. An example of this would be the song 'So Much Love'. At the beginning there was a driving main sound, which I programmed on a Eurorack synthesizer. Ultimately it is this sound that helped the track to its somewhat punky feel."
Dave Gahan told Phil Marriott that for 'So Much Love', Depeche Mode wanted "a vintage, kind of broken, busted up drum-sound."
Gahan also told (archived):
"It's like we have so much love here, we really do, but we're afraid to use it and access it. It's the old John Lennon thing, like, 'love and peace, man.' [...] ['So Much Love'] also reminds me of early electronic stuff, like Tuxedomoon and Cabaret Voltaire, who did kind of punky, distorted songs."
Paradiso asked if 'So Much Love' would not have been better as the final track on Spirit since it would have ended it on a happy note, to which Gahan replied:
"Well, funnily enough, there was one tracklisting on the album where 'So Much Love' was the final song. I did feel like it should be the final song on the album. And Martin felt that we should end the album in a different way, so I was pretty much outvoted. And that's the way it goes, we are a democracy, it doesn't mean I have to be right. I understand what you are saying because I felt that the songs, all the songs on the album, are all leading in a certain direction, and I felt like this was the song that says we all still have so much love in us. Let's have some hopefulness at the end of this dark tunnel. [But] it worked: it would always have worked no matter where it is [on the album]."
Gore told Amazon:
"[...] One of the suggestions was for us to finish [the album] on that song, but it didn't really work. It worked thematically: it would have been great. But it was the only really fast song that we had. And to end on that, people would have to get through all the slow songs before getting to, you know, faster than, I don't know what it is, 110 [BPM] or something."

Solo

== Notes ==
2012: Martin Gore writes the synthesizer part for a Frank Ocean song, initially unnamed. Martin told Associated Press/CNN/Gaffa in 2013: "The last day I think it was that we had in the studio in New York, we were just recording some live sessions, a bonus thing for our deluxe CD. Frank was working downstairs with Alicia Keys. He asked our engineer if he could come in and have a listen. So, he came in and started talking to us and then he said, 'I am a big fan, and I've got a track, I'd love for you to add some analogue synthesizers to it.' I was completely blown away. And the following day [Cristoffer Berg and I] stayed an extra day in the studio and just did a few bits and pieces. I have no idea whether he'll actually use the pieces we did on there, but hopefully it will surface one day! It sounded really good. He seems like a nice and funny guy." Then in August 2016, Frank Ocean released two albums, but Martin was credited on none. Christoffer Berg wrote as a reply on his Instagram account: "[Frank] released another version of the song 'Solo'. It was a great song before, when and after me and Martin ever did anything [to it]. I'm just happy it's released in any form, and very proud and humble to have been a small fleeting part of the bigger process, credited or not credited."

Something To Do

is a song from the 1984 album Some Great Reward by Depeche Mode.
== Notes ==
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):
"It's always difficult to choose the songs you're going to play in concert. There are a lot of things to consider. Generally, we make a list of suggestions and then we talk for hours. We do not necessarily keep the songs that we prefer. We take the ones that go well together, that form a coherent whole and that will keep the audience in suspense for an hour and a half. Given this notion, we can afford to slip in a track like "Something To Do" which people may not necessarily know, but which does not break the rhythm of the concert."
At the beginning of this track, an "arr, arr" sound can be heard that can be heard throughout as well. When Wilder was asked about this on Shunt, he replied: "I can't really remember exactly - you are asking me about a sound made about 14 years ago! It sounds like it was a piece of speech put through a modular synth (possibly some other effects) and distorted. I would think it was then sampled and reproduced from either the Emulator or Synclavier."

Sometimes

is a song from the 1986 album Black Celebration by Depeche Mode.
== Notes ==
Martin Gore said in the 1986-02-22 issue of No.1 magazine:
"There is one quite funny song [on Black Celebration] called 'Sometimes' which is about someone who questions their surroundings and ends up becoming tiring and over apologetic."
Vince Clarke wrote an eponymous song for his band Erasure. In June 2017, he told The Quietus:
"Originally the lyric in the chorus wasn't "sometimes" it was "ooh baby". The guy who mixed it said "you can't use 'ooo baby', come up with something else". It was a Mute studio, they had a record cupboard with all their releases in, and I was looking at lyrics on the backs of all these records. Depeche Mode had a song called 'Sometimes' and I thought 'ah well that'll work'. That's how it came about - you're the first person that I've told that to."
== Trivia ==
* At 1:53 in length, Sometimes is the shortest non-instrumental Depeche Mode song with vocals.
