Depeche Mode Reaction, Reaction to Shake The Disease, Reaction to Black Celebration Album Shake The Disease
Martin Gore, Dave Gahan, RIP Andrew Fletcher, Reaction to DM
I think it's about shyness. He would like to tell his beloved how he feels about her, but the disease holds his tongue.
This does make a tonne of sense :D
Good point I never new.
Yes its about social anxiety...thats the disease
Universally one of their most beloved. I have a cool memory attached to this one. I lived in Taiwan for two years in the early 90s doing a church mission. One night my coworker and I were sitting in an tiny empty train station at the edge of a small village in the rural countryside where we'd literally been helping plant a rice paddy all day waiting for the last train to arrive to get back to our apartment , which was 30 minutes away by rail. It was around 11:15pm and we were probably the only two people still awake in that sleepy "town". Well, we were bored and exhausted but needed to stay awake so the train would pick us up. At those hours in the middle of nowhere, if you aren't on the platform where the train can see you when it arrives sometimes the train won't stop. We both liked singing and we both liked DM and the acoustics were actually good in this little train station. So we are probably the only two American guys that ever belted out Depeche Mode's Shake the Disease by memory acapella at nearly midnight in the tiny hamlet of Fenglin Taiwan. The moral of the story is: the is an awesome song and saved us from sleeping on concrete benches one night in the middle of nowhere Asia.
Definitely my favorite! The guy is too shy and tongue tied to tell the girl how he feels about her.
I think that this is a great explanation :D
@@SephPlays Thank you! :)
What i do like, is that every album they change the style so you never hear the same style songs,,,
That's very true. It's also one of the biggest criticisms against them. I don't think they would have endured 40 years without changing their style and experimenting with different sounds. That's what has made them so enduring and interesting. We always want to hear what the new sound will be like even if we prefer a certain sound from a different era. Bands die out because they live in the past.
What a song ! One of their best i love it
Dave’s voice still makes me melt like butter.😻❤️🔥🙀
😀😀😀Im smiling too!!!
I seem to remember Martin being interviewed by Simon Amstell, in which Martin said that this remains the best song he wrote, in terms of construction and production.
Surprised you haven’t done this one yet. Definitely one of their best.
It’s in the top five all time for me… along with about 20 other of their songs ;)
You didn’t quite get the meaning of the song. He’s not talking too much. It’s the opposite. He wants to be able to express the feelings he has for the one he loves but gets tongue tied and can’t find the words.
The disease he wants to shake is being able to verbalize how much he cares for her but is unable to. He’s thankful that she understands how hard it it is for him. Nobody knows him as well as she does.
Ohh what an interesting meaning of this song. If you see it this way it 100% changes the feeling of the song haha
That's correct. Martin is expressing his struggle with NOT being able to speak in situations he should because of his shyness. The disease "takes hold of his tongue" and he is unable to express himself like he's like to. On your point Seph, maybe part of the reason he has difficulty is because he's afraid to say the wrong thing. Great reaction, great song.
Well Seph, thank you for that subject [BTW] I was that kinda person (growing up): least likely to shut up, when I was young, I wasn't much of a talker until later on (it was kinda annoying even at night time), so I guess I should of relate to this song 🎵 along time ago... I compare this [song] to People are people because (like this song 🎵)Dave Gahan also sang the main lyrics while Martin gore sang the chorus part, even if it had word: Understand in the sentence (Help me understand)?... thank you 😊.
Yes, that's Martin on the backing vocals :) And yes, in my younger years I've said many things in situations like this :P
A gem from 1985! This one is much better than It's called a Heart!
Kick-a$$ song!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God love 'em!! Depeche Mode does NOT disappoint!! 🙂
Maybe he wants to tell the person he's in love with how much he feels, but gets tongue tied and nervous ... and it's frustrating not being able to expression what's in his heart.
It's definitely a love song. I get lost in the synth melodies, and the industrial sounds and such. These guys were so good, I'm grateful that I was a teen and college kid when DM produced their music.
Best from Pennsylvania!
Definitely excited for the Violator and Music For The Masses reactions!!
Same here!!! Those are chock full of BANGERS!! 💥💣😲
One of my favourite DM song
One of mine too!
@@SephPlays One of M. Gore's most favorite songs too
Yet another banger! In fact almost a double banger!!
The best songs are these were they sing together. This is one of it. I love it.
Happy you liked this one.. this is a classic for the Devout. Again one where I hope you check out the official video
Classic 🎶🎵🎶🎵
This song is masterpiece..... And show how 80-s was for me best time for music .......
Shake the disease,,,, that's why i, m a 41 years long fan,,, of DM, for me it s a disdase, there is music like P floyd, deep purple, Led Zeppelin eurythmics, yazoo, etc and then comes Depeche Mode,,, for me a way of life,,,
Yes, it’s Martin. Another great DM song!! 👍
This is martin?
@@SephPlays singing the second high part.
@@SephPlays yep
Am glad it had you smiling so big over it lol! And yup on calling the vocals: Dave on verses, duet on choruses except "Understand me" by Martin. This song just gets me smiling and swaying when listening to it.
Martin Gore in the 1985-08-17 issue of Hitkrant (translated from Dutch):
"The song tells the story of a one-sided relationship between a girl and a boy. They realize that it is as good as over for them. So it's a poignant song, but not real life. Christine [Friedrich, girlfriend] and I are still doing very well. A breakup is definitely out of the question."
Gore explained in the 1989-04-15 issue of Melody Maker:
"Sometimes [the links between songs] are very obvious, there are things like references cos I really like references to other songs. In ‘Shake The Disease’ there’s a reference to another song. You know it says, Now I've got things to do // and I've said before that I know you have too. And in another song [Stories Of Old] it said, Now I've got things to do // you have too. I really like those kind of references."
Yes I've noticed those references. There are also musical crossovers from one song to another.
@@chrisherrmann3991 DM is a universe to investigate and enjoy
This song gets me emotionally everytime! I absolutely LOVE every second of it. I’m enjoying watching your enthusiasm when you are listening to the DM songs I’ve seen your reactions to so far. I’m going to track down the one you did for “Get The Balance Right” which for me is a sort of companion track to Shake The Disease. If you haven’t reacted to “Leave in Silence” I highly recommend you check that DM song out.
This is in my top 5. So glad you finally reacted to it. Lilting sonic perfection gliding through my brain.
I like this song, 'duets' are always special. "Shake the Disease" was number 2 in Germany in 1985.
Number one in Poland
Melodically speaking, this is easily one of Martin's most interesting tunes. The unique cord changes always feel just a little unexpected. This gives the song a subtle unease that mirrors the tortured subject. The samples used throughout are also really interesting, extending the use of some of the same sounds and techniques from SOME GREAT REWARD. I saw Martin do a solo piano performance of this at the Mayan Theatre in Los Angeles in 2003 that was a real crowd pleaser.
Regarding your question, "Have you ever been in a situation where you should have shut up but you didn't?" Oh yeah. In the mid-90s I let one of my straight buddies know I was attracted to him. I immediately regretted it. He was super cool and didn't crucify me, for which I was very grateful. We're still friends, and to his credit he's never held it over my head. Just an amazingly mature dude and good friend.
How about you? Any noteworthy situations where you wish you had kept your mouth shut?
Now you have reacted to this ..The b-side of this is Flexible.. The next single was It's Called A heart (you had already done that's B-side "Fly On The Windscreen).. These two singles were filler singles between Some Great Reward and Black Celebration.. Martin's voice is a lot softer than Dave's even when Dave sings softly
Both are on my list :D
I was 18 in the car with my 20 year old Depeche mode loving gf in 1988. The 1O1 album on a loop for a night on the back seat with her. Then we got Violater album in 1990 to go on a loop as well. 1993 songs of faith and devotion when i was a wild guy with a drink and drugs addiction, far from home. Yes these albums and this track embedded in my memories.
You got to see the official video...I think its cool
Semi-out of order for your chronological review, but a very cool DM track. Waiting for you to start Masses.
Depeche Mode is really interesting and this is my second favorite of their songs. For your comments around the 650 mark, they do have another song about that... "words can only hurt". It must be a theme for David.
The disease is love.
I’ve always thought the disease was shyness and introversion. In addition to the “takes hold of my tongue” line there’s also the line “ when I’m not there in spirit I’ll be there” line that introverts can definitely relate to.
He truly isn't ready for Masses and Violator, everything is "up there along with Everything Counts ...", I even daresay EVERY SINGLE SONG in Violator, including B-Sides, outweigh Everything Counts like a lot (even tho I love the song, don't get me wrong).
Omg Alregis 🤣 stop getting me hyped up haha
I was, of course i did. I started my DM story when i was 12 Y O. I loved thier lyrics even i was so young. And almost all what They are singing about it was happened to me. It seems like i was prepared to it 🤔
Once I screamed at my mom that I hated her. I went in the other room to cool off. I felt so guilty I apologized to her right away.😿💔
Martin sings the high parts (except on the choruses) and the post-chorus
To answer your question... I'm always sticking my foot in my mouth!!! lol
haha I'm really glad that im not the only one haha
You should take a look at Vaughn George TH-cam channel.mostly about Depeche Mode.
❤
it MIGHT be with my favourits up there?
Well the lyrics remind me of oversharing, which I did a lot ...
