Music of Faith and Devotion

A Pain That I'm Used To. It's no good. Black Celebration. Blasphemous Rumours. Barrel of a Gun. Enjoy the Silence. Personal Jesus. Strangelove. Master and Servant. Shake the Disease. Lie to Me. Useless. Photographic. Precious. Stripped. World Full of Nothing. A Question of Lust. Never Let Me Down Again. Policy of Truth. Judas. I Feel You. Comatose. Freelove. Shine. Suffer Well. Damaged People. John the Revelator. The Darkest Star. Lilian. Ice Machine. The Sinner in Me. In Chains. Corrupt. Wrong.

A music critic in a British tabloid once argued: "all your songs seem to be about the same thing - it is just pain and suffering". Martin Gore allegedly replied: "On the contrary; pain and suffering are not the same things - they are indeed very different from eachother."

February 26, 2006, almost four years ago, we were both singing along with the songs mentioned above at the Depeche Mode concert in the Scandinavium Arena, in Gothenburg. (We have all their albums and several obscure, re-mastered B-sides.) This upcoming Sunday, DM are set to play in The Globe Arena, Stockholm - less than half a mile from where we live. And we don't even have tickets. We are probably getting old...

The grabbing hands,
grab all they can
all for themselves
afterall
[...]
it's a competitive world
