Reason Man

is an early live-only song written by Vince Clarke.Source: BONG magazine, issue 15, pg. 4 It is unknown why it does not appear on the Speak & Spell album or as a B-side. It was only performed during the 1980 Tour, and only one relatively poor audience recording of this song exists from 1980-10-30 Bridge House, London, England, UK (which happens to be the earliest circulating genuine recording of Depeche Mode). A stream of the entire track, as well as lyrics transcribed to the best of our ability, are below.

Recoil

Recoil is an award-winning musical project founded by English musician and former Depeche Mode member Alan Wilder. Created as an experimental project whilst Wilder was still a member of Depeche Mode, Recoil became the classically-trained musician's primary solo venture upon his departure from the group in 1995. To date, the project has produced three EPs, three LPs, a compilation album, and an international tour spanning 52 cities across the world.
= History =
== Formation ==
Wilder had consistently experimented with original musical ideas as the result of his status as the foremost "musician" of Depeche Mode throughout their formative years, but it was not until Mute Records founder Daniel Miller heard some of his audio sketches (recorded on 4-track cassette) that the Recoil solo project began. The summer 1986 release 1 + 2 would be Recoil's debut EP, comprised of primitive demos which Wilder had completed several years prior.Source: .

Route 66

is a cover of the Bobby Troup 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 December 1987.
== Notes ==
Martin Gore and Andy Fletcher said in the commentary track on the DVD of '101' in 2003:
Martin Gore: "I thought it would be a good idea to record a driving song on the B-side of 'Behind The Wheel', and it was a nice idea to try and incorporate the elements that made up the song 'Behind The Wheel' into that version."
Andy Fletcher: "This is a version of 'Route 66' that was remixed by The Beatmasters. So we did our original version, and then we gave it to these very talented people called The Beatmasters, and they came up with this. It was mixed with a track of ours, called 'Behind The Wheel'. We wanted a driving track to go with it, so we chose 'Route 66'. It was very apt, obviously, for this film, regarding the travelling throughout America. And also ending up in LA as well, so it was perfect. [...] Martin actually got a call from the guy [songwriter Bobby Troup] when we did it, to say that it was one of his favourite versions."
Martin Gore told Best magazine in 1990 (translated from French):
"'Route 66' was a complete DIY. We did this song in less than a day in the studio and it was mixed immediately the next day. For us, there was nothing very serious about it, it was just a good B-side for 'Behind The Wheel', a song for the road. But everyone was crazy about it and we used it a lot for the movie '101'. The Americans even wanted to put it on the A-side of the single. In fact, I think this song was publicised too much, it was not made for that."
Alan Wilder also wrote in his 86-98 editorial in 1998:
"The entire concept for the single release of 'Behind The Wheel' is centred around the theme of motor travel, from the opening sample of a spinning saucepan lid designed to sound like a hub-cap, through to the B-side - a strange hybrid cover of the classic 'Route 66' which included the middle 8 from the A-side. Apart from its obvious vehicular connotations, Alan reveals that this cover was also chosen because Martin didn't have any original songs to use at the time."
Newspaper The Springfield News-Leader quotes Dave Gahan from an unspecified issue of magazine Alternative Press as saying:
"[The highway] held something mysterious for us, and we're known for pursuing that kind of feeling. It is something of an enigma, isn't it? There's something wildly unnerving about that highway."

Rush

is a song from the 1993 album Songs Of Faith And Devotion by Depeche Mode.
== Notes ==
Alan Wilder states in the May 1993 issue of Keyboard magazine:
The nice thing about backwards reverb is that it adds space to a sound without making it washy. I'm against using a lot of reverb most of the time, because I can't stand the distancing effect it makes. But I do often want to hear sounds in a space, or try to keep all the clarity of a sound while still trying to put it somewhere. Backwards reverb can do exactly that. There's a part in the middle of "Rush," the sort of progressive rock track near the end of the album, where the voice has lots of backwards reverb; that really sets the vocal part off.
In the EPK for Songs Of Faith And Devotion, a worksheet can be seen that lists the working title for "Rush" as "I Rush For You", along with tentative verse lyrics "See the tears from my eyes - Heard my truths become lies".

Sacred

is a song from the 1987 album Music For The Masses by Depeche Mode.
== Notes ==
Andy Fletcher told Képes 7 magazine (translated from Hungarian):
"Sacred is about love, about love as a creed."
Dave Bascombe told Vaughn George in April 2020:
"[I would change] details on 'Sacred', because I'm never happy with that. I had a monitor mix on that which I think I lost. Actually, it did resurface online as a cassette mix I had done, and that was much more how it should have been, and I tried too hard on this mix. And I remember thinking, "I can't get all these parts", and I remember saying to Martin, "I think I might have leave out some of these parts", and he wasn't happy about that. I hadn't mixed it correctly, and I had emphasised certain things, and that was inexperience. I think now I would know that I had gone off on a tangent a lot easier. We didn't refer to rough mixes in those days. It was only after the event when I found this [monitor mix] that I thought "That's what it should have sounded like". It can't describe really what I don't like about it, but it's not as gritty and glam as it should have been. [The monitor mix] is the better mix, guys. We probably did it in five minutes."
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 was not one of the tracks that worked best on stage. We could have improved it by working on it in the studio, but we preferred to mixing the live version quickly due to wanting to mix one song a day. Our goal was that the live version matches exactly what was performed at the concert. Hearing the audience throughout the songs was done deliberately. We did not want a live album like that of the Simple Minds, for example, which has been almost entirely redone in the studio. The only sounds of atmosphere that they kept were a few applauses, and some shouts left at the beginnings and ends of the songs. That's not live, it's studio-live."

Satellite

is a song from the 1982 album A Broken Frame by Depeche Mode.
== Notes ==
A potential working title for Satellite could have been "Satellite Of Hate", as the song is referred to with that title in the Depeche Mode Information Service August 1982 newsletter.

Saw Something

== Notes ==
In a long promo interview in September 2007, Dave Gahan was asked about every song off 'Hourglass' including this one:
"Well that song was you know, I put, wanted that song to be first on the album because it really was the catalyst that gave me the encouragement to wanna start another project. It actually came from a chord pattern, some strings that Christian had sent me, during the time we were finishing 'Playing The Angel'. And there was one time we were in New York and I was in the live room sitting at the piano and I had my little Dictaphone set up, I was doing something else but I kept playing these strings because they were doing something for me and I started to formulate what became the vocal melody and the lyrics for that song. So actually, I'd actually written, I heard that song in its sort of complete form before we even started recording it, so it was actually one of the first things I sang down when Andrew and Christian had set up all their gear. I said — you know let me sing down this melody and lyric idea that I have, I had a sort of complete song, so I sang it down to the strings that Christian had given me in the first place and he played some drums on it and they were kind of blown away by what I did, so it gave me some confidence about the writing. The rest of it I had no clue about where it was going at that point, but felt really passionate about this song, I still do. I think it's by far the best song on the album."
He also said in the press release for 'Hourglass':
"When we first started writing, I had that song in my head and in my heart; so I was dying to get on a mic and sing it. The lyrics are about sitting, waiting for something to come - protection of some kind, or some kind of answer. What I've come to learn is that you've got to go find it, take some action. I prefer to sit and wait, but it just doesn't work. It sounds kind weird, but I do believe in that sort of divine intervention, if you allow it. If you allow life to happen, not try to push it in the direction you think it's supposed to go in - which is what I spend a lot of time doing - then really amazing things happen, things that you didn't expect. But you've got to take some action. This song, for me, is a starting point for something new in my life."
John Frusciante plays guitar on this song. Dave told Exit magazine (translated from Hungarian):
"I'm a big fan of John, who's an amazing guitarist and my old friend from living in Los Angeles. Earlier this year we worked together in Los Angeles, at one of the charity events at the MusiCares Foundation, and I asked him if he would like to play on one of my songs. I sent him 'Saw Something', and he sent it back with a finished guitar solo. We did not change it, it can be heard exactly on the record as he played it. He understood the mood of the song very well, he did exactly what I imagined."

Scum

is a song from the 2017 album Spirit by Depeche Mode.
== Notes ==
Dave Gahan told Steve Wright:
"When I first heard that song, when Martin gave me his demo, I just couldn't wait to get my teeth into it. That's right up my street. It's punchy, and it's rant. He's pretty angry at someone, I think."
Gahan also told :
"There are songs that are quite literal on the album. "Scum" for instance, it was a lot of fun recording that song and singing it. Great lyric. But to me, I internalize that: "Hey scum, hey scum, what have you ever done for anyone?" I immediately take that in, and I ask myself that question. That's how I perform that song... really, it's from my own fear, like, "What the f--k have I ever done? And what am I doing? Am I really helping those around me that are less fortunate? Do I really care?" I don't know."
Martin Gore said in Myśliwiecka 3/5/7:
"During interviews, quite a few people asked me, "Who made you that angry? Who is that about?" It would really take away the power of the song if I would just tell you, "I wrote about this person", because it's better for a listener to listen to it and imagine, because imagination is far more powerful."
Gore also told Radio Eins in 2017:
"I like 'Scum' particularly because it's very different for us. Quite aggressive, but it's also got a real kind of sleazy groove to it. There's something very unusual for us about that song."
Andrew Fletcher told 91.9 WFPK:
"I really like 'Scum', it has the weirdest rhythm. In fact we're not playing it live — we're not sure if it can be played live. It's some weird beat."
Keyboard programmer Matrixxman said in an interview with :
"I didn't personally work with the vocals at all during the album but in reference to Scum, I'm pretty sure Martin's original demo had heavily distorted vocals on it. So that would explain why Dave's vocals had the same treatment on that particular tune."

Secret To The End

is a song from the 2013 album Delta Machine by Depeche Mode.
== Notes ==
Dave Gahan told Q magazine in March 2013:
"[Getting cancer] certainly did affect what I wrote. When that phrase came out, "I can feel the presence of God" [from 'Presence Of God'] I'm thinking, I can't sing that! And 'Secret To The End' for Delta Machine, every verse ending with, "Is this the end? Should this be the end?" It was seeing myself for the first time. The wondering "Why, why, why? What's it all about?" I'm going to do something useful with it, try to be the best father and husband I can be... and the best musician. I wrote myself back into life."
In March 2023, most of the demos for Delta Machine were leaked, including two versions of Secret To The End. The first demo contains lyrics that were slightly different from the final version, most notably the the absence of the refrain where Dave and Martin sing "The problem // Should have been you (should have been you)..." and the presence of Dave singing "You must have the secret // Is there a secret // The secret for love...".

Secrets

is a early live-only track, presumably performed only on very early dates of the 1980 Tour. It is mentioned in BONG magazine issue 24 by Daryl Bamonte. It is alleged by some that 'Secrets' was later reworked by Clarke into 'Unmarked', an album song on Yazoo's second and final studio album.

See You

is a song from the 1982 album A Broken Frame by Depeche Mode. It was released as a lead single on 29 January 1982.
== Notes ==
You can read more about the inspiration and creation of 'See You' here.
Daniel Miller wrote in the sleeve notes for the A Broken Frame 2006 remaster:
"Martin [Gore] had brought a PPG, one of the first digital keyboards. It was called a wave table synth and was pretty advanced for its time, but very unreliable. We got some sounds on it that we wouldn't have otherwise got — the choir sound on 'See You' came from that."
The magazine Electronics & Music Maker wrote in their May 1982 issue:
"'See You' [...] features a great melodic sequencer bass line (using a Roland MC4 Microcomposer) and some truly wonderful vocal and bell sounds courtesy of the newly acquired PPG Wave 2 digital/analogue synth."
 told Kingsize magazine in May 2001:
"Do I feel any affection for things like 'See You'? Not really, no. It was the first song I wrote after Vince left, and I think I was just trying to copy his style. It was a nightmare recording because we still lived in Basildon and caught the last train back from London. It was always a dodgy train, full of drunkards, and we always got into fights, sometimes because we were recognised, but usually it was just pure Essex violence!"

Shame

is a song from the 1983 album Construction Time Again by Depeche Mode.
== Notes ==
Martin Gore was quoted in the 1983-09-17 issue of NME:
"I think ['Everything Counts'] was partly [inspired by] going to Thailand as well [as the song 'Shame'] – that’s where the oriental flavour comes in, like Korea ‘n’ all that. But you go over there and all the hotels are full of, like, businessmen and basically they tend to treat people as though they’re nothing. All they’re interested in is their business – that’s what I really hate about big business, people just don’t seem to matter. Just money. You see all the women over there ‘n’ they’re all prostitutes – that’s the only way they can make any money. ’Course, the businessmen love it. Work [will "remove the stains"]. It’s no good just sitting back and hoping things’ll change, you’ve got to actually work together. The material’s there; it’s like, there’s enough food in the world to feed everybody and then half the world’s eating three quarters of it and the rest of the world’s starving. But the food is there. There is a solution. The thing is, the people in power don’t care about someone with a low wage, they only care about their own power. But I think people should care about other people, y’know, cos from the moment we’re born we’re put into competition with everybody else. I really don’t understand why people go into politics – what makes someone at 16 or 17 decide to go into parliament? It’s got to be people themselves. People’s attitudes have got to be changed. For instance, when I wrote “All we need’s universal revolution”, I didn’t mean, like, everyone to take up arms, but more a total change of attitude. That’s what’s needed. People’s attitudes have got to be changed. You’ve got to look at the world to change things. Attitudes in the world, poverty in the world. The thing is when we talk about socialism, we don’t mean “English Socialism” we mean “International Socialism”."
