Peace

"**Peace**" is Depeche Mode's second single from their 2008 studio album, *Sounds of the Universe*, their 47th UK single overall and the first not to be issued on 12" vinyl since "Dreaming of Me" in 1981.

## Background

The record was released on 15 June 2009. Martin Gore told *The Sun* newspaper that he thought "Peace" is one of his favourite songs that he has ever written. He explained that both "Peace" and "Little Soul", "give the album a kind of thread. Both of those songs have a real spiritual feel, though we have to be really careful using that word." The song charted at #57 in the UK charts, equal to their first ever single, "Dreaming of Me" in 1981. This is the band's second lowest UK Singles Chart position after "Little 15", originally intended to be a France-only release which reached #60 upon limited UK release in 1988. In Germany, "Peace" reached #25.

The music video for "Peace" was filmed in Negoiești, Prahova, Romania by French duo Jonas & François, it features Romanian actress Maria Dinulescu and marks the first Depeche Mode video to not include any of the band members (because of Dave Gahan's illness), save for a promotional poster near the end.

It's Called a Heart

## Lyrics

There's something beating here inside my body

And it's called a heart

You know how easy it is

To tear it apart

If I lend it to you, will you keep it safe for me?

I'll lend it to you if you treat it tenderly

There's something beating here inside my body

And it's called a heart

There's a sun shining in the sky

But that's not the reason why

I'm feeling warm inside

The answer isn't classified; it's my heart

From the moment I started

I tried to be good about it

Yes, I've tried my best

And more or less, I spoke from my heart

There's a lot to be learned

And you learn when your heart gets burnt

There's something beating here inside my body

And it's called a heart

You know how easy it is

To tear it apart

If I lend it to you, will you keep it safe for me?

I'll lend it to you if you treat it tenderly

There's something beating here inside my body

And it's called a heart

Hearts can never be owned

Hearts only come on loan

If I want it back

I will take it back, I'll take my heart

But I will try my best

And more or less, I will speak from my heart

Yes, I will speak from my heart

Speak from my heart

There's a lot to be learned

And you learn when your heart gets burned

There's something beating here inside my body

And it's called a heart

You know how easy it is

To tear it apart

If I lend it to you, will you keep it safe for me?

I'll lend it to you if you treat it tenderly

There's something beating here inside my body

And it's called a heart

You know how easy it is

To tear it apart

If I lend it to you, will you keep it safe for me?

I'll lend it to you if you treat it...
Perfect

"**Perfect**" is the tenth track on Depeche Mode's twelfth studio album, *Sounds of the Universe*.

## Lyrics

On another world by another star at another place and time

In another state of consciousness in another state of mind

Everything was almost perfect

Everything fell into place

The jury reached a different verdict

Before the judge dismissed the case

In a parallel universe that's happening right now

Things between us must be worse but it's hard to see just how

And everything could have been perfect

Everything in the right place

Then I wouldn't have to play the suspect

Accused, abandoned and disgraced

I didn't shoot, I didn't pull the trigger

It wasn't me, I'm just a plain and simple singer

I heard the sound, I turned my head around

To watch our love shot down

In another lonely universe, we're laying side by side

Well no one's hurt and no one's cursed and no one needs to hide

And everything is almost perfect

Everything is almost right

There are never any conflicts

There are never any fights
Nothing's Impossible

"**Nothing's Impossible**" is the eighth track on Depeche Mode's eleventh studio album, *Playing the Angel*.

## Lyrics

Just give me a reason, some kind of sign

I'll need a miracle to help me this time

I heard what you said, and I feel the same

I know in my heart that I'll have to change

Even the stars look brighter tonight

Nothing's impossible

I still believe in love at first sight

Nothing's impossible

How did we get to be this far apart?

How did we get to be this far apart?

I want to be with you, something to share

I want to be near you, sometimes I care

Even the stars look brighter tonight

Nothing's impossible

I still believe in love at first sight

Nothing's impossible

Even the stars look brighter tonight

Nothing's impossible

If you believe in love at first sight

Nothing's impossible

I still believe in love at first sight

Nothing's impossible
The Bottom Line

"**The Bottom Line**" is the tenth track on Depeche Mode's ninth studio album, *Ultra*.

## Lyrics

Like a cat dragged in from the rain

Who goes straight back out to do it all over again

I'll be back for more

It's something that is out of our hands

Something we will never understand

It's a hidden law

The apple falls

Destiny calls

I follow you

Like a pawn on the eternal board

Who's never quite sure what he's moved towards

I walk blindly on

And heaven is in front of me (Heaven is in front of me)

Your heaven beckons me enticingly

When I arrive it's gone

The river flows

The wise man knows

I follow you

I'm yearning, I'm burning

I feel love's wheels turning

Like a moth on love's bright light

I will get burned each and every night

I'm dying too

The sun will shine

The bottom line

I follow you

I'm yearning, I'm burning

I feel love's wheels turning

Like a moth on love's bright light

I will get burned each and every night

I'm dying too

The sun will shine

The bottom line

I follow you
Surrender

Martin Gore told *Allstar* magazine in 1998: "'Surrender' is quite slow. It's very melodic. It's a good song to sing. It's about surrendering to your desires - maybe you don't really have a choice. It is an extension of *Ultra*."

When asked in 2005 about their most underrated song, Gore said: "There's one I particularly like that got lost because it was just an extra track on [the 'Only When I Lose Myself'] single, called 'Surrender'."

Tim Simenon reveals during his Depeche Mode Facebook Takeover that a working title for this track was 'Tempt'.

## Lyrics

Laying on your holy bed by the hallowed door

Feeling like an infidel not worthy of your floor

Tempted by your innocence, beckoned to my fate

I will face the consequence, I wouldn't hesitate

I'm a man of flesh and bone

Rapture rushing through my veins

Passion flaming in my heart

Heavenly surrender once again, yeah

Shackled like an animal, chained to my desires

Just another sacrifice to love's eternal pyres

Tame me with your tenderness and break my brittle heart

Easily and elegantly tear my world apart

I'm a man of flesh and bone

Rapture rushing through my veins

Passion flaming in my heart

Heavenly surrender once again, yeah

We're living in a world full of illusion

Everything is so unreal

My mind is in a state of confusion

But I can't deny the way I feel

I'm a man of flesh and bone

Rapture rushing through my veins

Passion flaming in my heart

Heavenly surrender once again, yeah

I'm a man of flesh and bone

Rapture rushing through my veins, yeah
Route 66

"**Route 66**" is a cover of the Bobby Troup song "(Get Your Kicks on) Route 66" recorded by Depeche Mode during the production of the 1987 album *Music for the Masses*. It was released as a B-side on the "Behind the Wheel" single on December 28, 1987.

## Lyrics

Well, if you ever plan to motor west

Come my way, take the highway, that's the best

Get your kicks on Route 66

Well, it winds from Chicago to L.A

More than two thousand miles all the way

Get your kicks on Route 66

Well it goes to St. Louis, down to Missouri

Oklahoma City looks oh-so pretty

You'll see Amarillo, Gallup, New Mexico

Flagstaff, Arizona, don't forget Winona

Kingman, Barstow, San Bernardino

If you get hip to this kind of trip

And go take that California trip

Get your kicks on Route 66

Get your kicks on Route 66
Goodnight Lovers

"**Goodnight Lovers**" is the thirteenth and final track and the fourth and final single on Depeche Mode's tenth studio album, *Exciter*. It was released on February 11th, 2002.

## Lyrics

Here, somewhere in the heart of me

There is still a part of me

That cares

And I'll, I'll still take the best you've got

Even though I'm sure it's not

The best for me

When you're born a lover

Born to suffer

Like all soul sisters

And soul brothers

I, I can see the danger signs

They only help to underline

Your beauty

I'm not looking for an easy ride

True happiness cannot be tried

So easily

When you're born a lover

You're born to suffer

Like all soul sisters

And soul brothers

You can take your time

I'll be waiting in line

You don't even have to give me

The time of day

When you're born a lover

You're born to suffer

Like all soul sisters

And soul brothers
A Question of Time

"**A Question of Time**" is Depeche Mode's seventeenth UK single, released on 11 August 1986, following the similarly titled "A Question of Lust" single.

## A Question of Time

### Producer(s)

Depeche Mode, Gareth Jones, Daniel Miller

### From

Black Celebration

The 7" remix of "**A Question of Time**" runs at a slightly faster tempo and pitch than the original *Black Celebration* album version. A version of the remix with an even faster tempo appeared on *The Singles 86–98*.

There is no new track for a B-side (the first Depeche Mode single, other than the Double A-Side "Blasphemous Rumours / Somebody" without one), but instead includes a remix of "Black Celebration" and various live tracks.

The "New Town Remix" directly segues into the "Live Remix" on the limited 12" single.

The music video for "**A Question of Time**" is the first DM video to be directed by Anton Corbijn, and was the start of a relationship with him and the band which still lasts to this day. It was included on the *Strange* video, *The Videos 86-98*, the DVD of *The Best of Depeche Mode Volume 1* and on *Video Singles Collection*.

The post-'90s live renditions of the track have a heavy guitar sound.

## Music video

The music video directed by Anton Corbijn features all of the band members holding babies. In the beginning of the music video, Alan Wilder is shown on a porch waiting for something. A man dressed almost like a daredevil rides a motorcycle with a baby. He drives to Alan on the porch and hands him the baby. The video shows the other members of the band holding a baby. One baby grabs onto Martin's hair and yanks it profusely while he smiles.

## Lyrics

I've got to get to you first

Before they do

It's just a question of time

Before they lay their hands on you

And make you just like the rest

I've got to get to you first

It's just a question of time

Well, now you're only fifteen

And you look good

I'll take you under my wing

Somebody should

They've persuasive ways

And you'll believe what they say

It's just a question of time

And it's running out for you

It won't be long until you'll do

Exactly what they want you to

I can see them now

Hanging around

To mess you up

To strip you down

And have their fun

With my little one

It's just a question of time

And it's running out for you

It won't be long until you'll do

Exactly what they want you to

It won't be long until you'll do

Exactly what they want you to

Sometimes I don't blame them

For wanting you

You look good

And they need something to do

Until I look at you

And then I condemn them

I know my kind

What goes on in our minds

It's just a question of time

It's just a question of time (It should be better)

It's just a question of time (It should be better with you)

Something to Do

“Something To Do” is the first track on the album “Some Great Reward”. There are 3 remixes of the song, the “Black Strobe Mix”, the “Black Strobe Alternative Mix” and the “Metal Mix”.

## Lyrics

My little girl, won't you come with me?

Come with me

And tell me

Is there something to do?

I'm going crazy with boredom

Come with me

And tell me

Is there something to do?

Grey sky over a black town

I can feel depression all around

You've got your leather boots on

Is there something to do?

I can't stand another drink

It's surprising this town doesn't sink

You've got your leather boots on

Is there something to do?

Your pretty dress is oil stained

From working too hard for too little

You've got your leather boots on

Is there something to do?

You're feeling the boredom too

I'd gladly go with you

I'd put your leather boots on

Is there something to do?

I'd put your pretty dress on

Is there something to do?

Master and Servant

"**Master and Servant**" is the seventh track and the second single on Depeche Mode's fourth studio album, *Some Great Reward*. It was released on August 20th, 1984.

## Lyrics

It's a lot, it's a lot

It's a lot like life

There's a new game we like to play, you see

A game with added reality

You treat me like a dog, get me down on my knees

We call it master and servant

It's a lot like life, this play between the sheets

With you on top and me underneath

Forget all about equality

Let's play master and servant

It's a lot like life and that's what's appealing

If you despise that throwaway feeling

From disposable fun

Then this is the one

Domination's the name of the game

In bed or in life, they're both just the same

Except in one you're fulfilled at the end of the day

Let's play master and servant

(Come on)

(Come on)

(Master and servant)

It's a lot, it's a lot

It's a lot like life

(Master and servant)

It's a lot, it's a lot

It's a lot like life

It's a lot like life and that's what's appealing

If you despise that throwaway feeling

From disposable fun

Then this is the one

Let's play master and servant (Come on)

Come on, master and servant (Come on)

My Favourite Stranger

"My Favourite Stranger" is a song from the 2023 album *Memento Mori* by Depeche Mode.

## My Favourite Stranger

### Studio

Electric Ladyboy (Santa Barbara)Shangri-La (Malibu)

### Previous Song

Don't Say You Love Me

Dave Gahan tells Corriere Della Sera's La Lettura (translated from Italian):

> "That song is about having a shadow, someone who follows you around the clock and tells you things. Do you listen to the lie or to the truth? A fun and a little risky song. With music you need to be transported to different places, sometimes it's places that are right in front of your eyes, other times it's open spaces. This is a direct song, like Suicide's Alan Vega, it has a New York '70s punk vibe."
>

## Lyrics

Some perfect stranger

Sneaks on tip-toes

Steals my shadow

And goes where I go

My favourite stranger

Stands in my mirror

Puts words in my mouth

All broke and bitter

Some perfect stranger

My imitation

Drops my name in

My conversations

Some perfect stranger

Speaks when I speak

Walks in my footsteps

And talks in my sleep

My favourite stranger

Stands where I stand

Leaves crime in my wake

And blood on my hands

Leave in Silence

"**Leave in Silence**" is a song by English electronic music band Depeche Mode. It was released as the third single from their second studio album, *A Broken Frame* (1982), on August 16, 1982. Recorded at Blackwing Studios, the single became the band's fifth U.K. Top 20 hit, peaking at No. 18. It was the first Depeche Mode single in the U.K. to use the "Bong" catalogue number system, which they used until "Heaven" in 2013. Three versions of the track were released on the 7" and 12" singles, while a fourth cut (running at 4:51 mins) was released on *A Broken Frame*.

The single peaked at #18 in the U.K. It wasn’t commercially released in the United States.

There are two alternate versions of this song, the Longer-Version and the Quieter-Version.

In 1985, Dave Gahan said “*Leave In Silence*” was one of his favorite Depeche Mode singles: *It’s very rare to capture an atmosphere on a single, but that’s one we did it on. The whole album ‘[A] Broken Frame’ is very moody throughout but a little disjointed. ‘**Leave In Silence**’, though, had everything, melody, sound, mood, everything. One of my favorites.*

Martin Gore told the British magazine No. 1: *After the ‘Meaning of Love’, which isn’t on the LP, had bombed we felt we should be taking a few more chances as trying to make records that we thought were going to be hits wasn’t the way to go about things. We released something we were very happy with, that we hoped would appeal to people.*

## Music video

The music video for "*Leave in Silence*" was directed by Julien Temple, and features the band breaking things on a conveyor belt and talking to each other while wearing face paint. The band disliked the video and did not include it on the *Some Great Videos* VHS compilation album.

## Lyrics

I've told myself so many times before

But this time I think I mean it for sure

We have reached a full stop

Nothing's going to save us from the big drop

Reached our natural conclusion

Outlived the illusion

I hate being in these situations

That call for diplomatic relations

If I only knew the answer

Or I thought we had a chance

Or I could stop this

I would stop this thing

From spreading like a cancer

What can I say? I don't want to play anymore

What can I say? I'm heading for the door

I can't stand this emotional violence

Leave in silence

We've been running around in circles all year

Doing this and that and getting nowhere

This will be the last time

I think I said that last time

If I only had a potion

Some magical lotion

That could stop this

I would stop this

I would set the wheels in motion

What can I say? I don't want to play anymore

What can I say? I'm heading for the door

I can't stand this emotional violence

Leave in silence

Leave in silence

Precious

**"Precious**" is the fifth track and the first single on Depeche Mode's eleventh studio album, *Playing the Angel*. It was released on October 3, 2005.

## Lyrics

Precious and fragile things
Need special handling
My God, what have we done to you?
We always tried to share
The tenderest of care
Now look what we have put you through

Things get damaged, things get broken
I thought we'd manage
But words left unspoken left us so brittle
There was so little left to give

Angels with silver wings
Shouldn't know suffering
I wish I could take the pain for you
If God has a master plan
That only He understands
I hope it's your eyes He's seeing through

Things get damaged, things get broken
I thought we'd manage
But words left unspoken left us so brittle
There was so little left to give

I pray you learn to trust
Have faith in both of us
And keep room in your hearts for two

Things get damaged, things get broken
I thought we'd manage
But words left unspoken left us so brittle
There was so little left to give
Here Is the House

"**Here Is the House**" is the eighth track on Depeche Mode's fifth studio album, *Black Celebration*.

## Lyrics

Here is the house where it all happened

Those tender moments under this roof

Body and soul come together

As we come closer together

And as it happens, it happens here in this house

And I feel your warmth and it feels like home

And there's someone calling on the telephone

Let's stay home, it's cold outside

And I have so much to confide to you

With or without words, I'll confide everything

Here is the house where it all happened

Those tender moments under this roof

Body and soul come together

As we come closer together

And as it happens, it happens here in this house

So we stay at home and I'm by your side

And you know what's going on inside

Inside my heart, inside this house

And I just want to let it out for you

And I feel your warmth and it feels like home

Here is the house where it all happened (Here is the house)

Those tender moments under this roof

Body and soul come together

As we come closer together (Home)

It Doesn't Matter Two

"**It Doesn't Matter Two**" is the fifth track on Depeche Mode's fifth studio album, *Black Celebration*.

## Lyrics

As I lay here with you

The shame lies with us

We talk of love and trust

That doesn't matter

Though we may be the last in the world

We feel like pioneers

Telling hopes and fears

To one another

And, oh, what a feeling inside of me

It might last for an hour

Wounds aren't healing inside of me

Though it feels good now, I know it's only for now

The feeling is intense

You grip me with your eyes

And then I realise

It doesn't matter
Everything Counts

“**Everything Counts**” is a song by English electronic music band Depeche Mode. It was released as the first single from their third studio album, *Construction Time Again*.

## Lyrics

The handshake seals the contract

From the contract, there's no turning back

The turning point of a career

In Korea being insincere

The holiday was fun-packed

The contract still intact

The grabbing hands grab all they can

All for themselves, after all

It's a competitive world

Everything counts in large amounts

The graph on the wall

Tells the story of it all

Picture it now, see just how

The lies and deceit gained a little more power

Confidence taken in

By a suntan and a grin

The grabbing hands grab all they can

All for themselves, after all

The grabbing hands grab all they can

All for themselves, after all

It's a competitive world

Everything counts in large amounts

The grabbing hands grab all they can

Everything counts in large amounts

The grabbing hands grab all they can

Everything counts in large amounts

(Everything, everything)

The grabbing hands grab all they can

Everything counts in large amounts

## Lyrics

Celebrate the fact

That we've see the back

Of another black day

Black day, black day

I want to take you in my arms

Forgetting all I couldn't do today

Black day
The Dark End of the Street

"**The Dark End of the Street**" is a 1967 soul song, written by songwriters Dan Penn and Chips Moman and first recorded by James Carr.

## Lyrics

At the dark end of the street

That's where we always meet

Hiding in shadows where we don't belong

Living in darkness to hide our wrong

You and me at the dark end of the street

You and me

I know time is gonna take its toll

We have to pay for the love that we stole

It's a sin and we know it's wrong

Oh, love keeps coming on strong

Steal away to the dark end of the street

They're gonna find us

Oh, someday

You and me at the dark end of the street

You and me

And when the daylight hour rolls around

And by chance we're both downtown

If we should meet, just walk on by

Oh darling, please don't cry

Tonight we'll meet at the dark end of the street

My Cosmos Is Mine

### Single(s)

Ghosts Again - released on February 3, 2023**My Cosmos Is Mine** - released on March 9, 2023

### Next Track

Wagging Tongue

**My Cosmos Is Mine** is the second single and the first song from Depeche Mode's album, Memento Mori.

It was released on March 9, 2023 as a single.

Martin Gore explained to Steffen Ruth (translated from German):

> "[The last track that I wrote] is also the first song on the album, 'My Cosmos Is Mine'. I wrote it shortly after Russia had invaded Ukraine. I thought, "How much should we still bear? What else will be thrown at us?" And my first reaction was to say: I will pull myself back into my little world, leave me alone. The song is about, when dealing with powerlessness, protecting your inner self from the attacks of the world and to, together with your loved ones, prefer to hide somewhere. Which is of course rather shortsighted, because we have to accept the responsibility of our planet's wellbeing, or else no one will be left anymore.
>
>

Dave Gahan told Zane Lowe:

> "That is actually one of my favourites on the album. Not initially when Martin first sent me the demo, it didn't strike me. But quite often, it's the ones that creep up on me later that I most identify with for some reason. And that song was one of those. I remember singing it, I remember going into into Martin's house and in his studio. And I knew we had captured something, the combination of the song, and I'd found a place where I wanted to be with it. And I feel like I found a meaning in the song that I identified with. It's not something I talked to Martin about, and he might have a completely different concept about the lyrical content of the of the song, but I found my place with that song, and I knew it was going to be the something that was gonna be a great introduction to Memento Mori.

## Lyrics

Don't play with my world

Don't mess with my mind

Don't question my space-time

My cosmos is mine

Don't toy with my heart

Don't knock down my shrines

Don't alter my headlines

My cosmos is mine

No war, no war, no war

No more, no more, no more, no more

No fear, no fear, no fear, no fear

Not here, not here, not here, not here

No rain, no clouds, no pain, no shrouds

No final breaths, no senseless deaths

Don't stare at my soul

I swear it is fine (Don't mess with my mind)

Its borders are outlined (Don't question my space-time)

My cosmos is mine (My cosmos is mine)

My cosmos is mine

My cosmos is mine (Don't play with my world)

My cosmos is mine (Don't mess with my mind)

My cosmos is mine (Don't question my space-time)

My cosmos is mine

(Don't play with my world)

## Lyrics

I stand still stepping on the shady streets

And I watched that man to a stranger

You think you only know me when you turn on the light

Now the room is lit, red danger

Complicating, circulating

New life, new life

Operating, generating

New life, new life

Transitions to another place

So the time will pass more slowly

Features fuse and your shadow's red

Like a film I've seen now show me

Your face is hidden and were out of sight

And the road just leads to nowhere

The stranger in the door is the same as before

So the question answers nowhere

I stand still stepping on the shady streets

And I watched that man to a stranger

You think you only know me when you turn on the light

Now the room is lit, red danger

Deeper and Deeper

**"Deeper and Deeper"** is the third track on Dave Gahan's second studio album, *Hourglass*. It was released as a double A-side single with "Saw Something".

## Lyrics

I want your love

I'm gonna have you

When I want to

I'm gonna take you

That's what I like

I'm going down now

Deeper and deeper

Under your skin now

You know that it's right

I want to love you

I want your love

I want to love you

I want your love

You can't tell me

That you don't want it

You know that I like it

When you put up a fight

I'm gonna have you

When I want to

I'm gonna take you

That's what I like

I want to love you

I want your love

I want to love you

I want your love

I want to love you

I want your love

I want to love you

I want your love

I'm gonna have you

When I want to

I'm gonna take you

That's what I like

I'm going down now

Deeper and deeper

Under your skin

You know that it's right

I want to love you

I want your love

I want to love you

I want your love

### Trivia

* According to the studio logs, the tom roll that dominates the track was created in separate layers to produce a full rhythm.
* According to the studio logs, Dave labels the tones applied to the final revision of the "I want your love" phrase as a 'blues bend'.
The World We Live In and Live in Hamburg

***The World We Live In and Live in Hamburg*** is the first video release by Depeche Mode, featuring almost an entire concert from their 1984 Some Great Reward Tour, at the Alsterdorfer Sporthalle in Hamburg, Germany on December 9, 1984. It was directed by Clive Richardson. The name is a play on a lyric of the song "Somebody" (*She will listen to me, when I want to speak about the world we live in and life in general...*).

The number of songs on the video depends on the region. Some have eleven, some have seventeen. The seventeen-song version was re-released in 1999, though still on VHS, in Europe only and in Japan on other formats. The United States only has the 11-song version.

Two songs that were performed during the Hamburg concert, "Puppets" and "Ice Machine" (both written by ex-member Vince Clarke), have yet to appear on any format. It is unclear why these were omitted from the original release.

Pipeline

"**Pipeline**" is the third track on Depeche Mode's third studio album, *Construction Time Again*.

## Lyrics

Get out the crane, construction time again

What is it this time?

We're laying a pipeline

Let the beads of sweat flow till the ends have met though

Could take a long time

Working on the pipeline

Taking from the greedy

Giving to the needy

On this golden day, work's been sent our way

That could last a lifetime

Working on the pipeline

From the heart of our land to the mouth of the man

Must reach him sometime

We're laying a pipeline

Taking from the greedy

Giving to the needy

Taking from the greedy

Giving to the needy
One Night in Paris

***One Night in Paris – The Exciter Tour 2001 – A Live DVD by Anton Corbijn*** is a video release by Depeche Mode, featuring an entire concert from their 2001 Exciter Tour, shot at the Palais Omnisports de Paris-Bercy on October 9 and 10 2001. Although the cover only lists the second date, material from the first was used, as "It Doesn't Matter Two" was only played on the 9th. That song was replaced by "Sister of Night" the next day (and included as a bonus track on disc 2). Many fans were disappointed to see the popular song "Clean" (a regular on the tour, played on the first night in Paris) not included (no live version is officially released of the song to this date), Condemnation (from the second night, rarely performed in 2001, with several live versions previously available) taking its place in the film. It was directed and filmed by Anton Corbijn, and released in 2002.

The first disc features the full concert, while the second disc contains documentaries on the movie, interviews with the band, extra songs, tour projections, and more.

## Background

The DVD was directed by the band's long-time artistic collaborator Anton Corbijn at the sold-out Palais Omnisports de Paris Bercy in front of 16,000 people. The concert film was shot on anamorphic 16:9 Digital Betacam using 13 cameras.

Death's Door

## Lyrics

Well I'm knocking on Death's door

Will I take my rest, among the blessed

Mother are you waiting

Father are you pacing

I'm coming home

Well I'm knocking on Death's door

Will I take my rest, among the blessed

Mother are you waiting

Father are you pacing

I'm coming home

I've been away too long

For so long you've been strong

I've been away too long

I know that it was wrong

But I'm coming home

Well I'm knocking on Death's door

Will I take my rest, have I passed the test

Mother are you praying

Father I am saying

I'm coming home

### Next Track

Eternal

“***Cover Me***” is a song from Depeche Mode’s fourteenth studio album *Spirit* (2017). The song was co-written by lead singer Dave Gahan, alongside other three tracks on the album. The song’s lyrics explore themes of heartbreak and solitude. They are coupled with icy synths and steel guitars to build a sonic atmosphere that conjures isolation. It was released as the third single from *Spirit*, making “***Cover Me***” the fourth single in the band’s catalog to be co-written by Gahan. A remix EP was released in digital, CD and vinyl form to promote the track. A music video for the song directed by longtime collaborator Anton Corbijn was released in September, 2017. The black-and-white clip finds Gahan on a solitary journey drifting through outer space and the streets of Los Angeles.

Dave Gahan on Rolling Stone:

> It’s about a person who travels to another planet only to find that, much to his dismay, it’s exactly the same as earth. It’s a different planet but the same. He really can’t get away from himself. If he wants things to change, he’s going to have to implement it.

## Lyrics

I've felt better

I've been up all night

I can feel it coming

The morning light

The air is so cold here

It's so hard to breathe

We better take cover

Will you cover me?

Way up here with the Northern lights

Beyond you and me

I dreamt of us in another life

One we've never reached

You know we're sinking

We could fade away

I'm not going down

Not today

The air is so cold here

Too cold to see

We have to take cover

Cover me

Way up here with the Northern lights

Beyond these broken bars

I pictured us in another life

Where we're all super stars
