Black Celebration for me is the ultimate Depeche Mode album. The atmosphere, melodies and unique sounds really gets under your skin and the more you listen to it the more it grows on you. Just an absolute vow from start to end.
Most diehard DM fans love Martin's ballads and especially this one! Martin's lyrics are REAL life! If you pay attention, you will really enjoy the ride the next few albums will bring. I don't suggest songs as I know you are going in order!
My personal favourite song from Martin is 'The things you said', from Music for the Masses (I'm really looking forward to your reaction on that), but this is definetly the second. When I was around 10-12 years old this was the song I listened all the time. Simply: Beautiful song
After so many decades as a Depeche Mode fan, I like "A Question of Lust" more than "Somebody". So I agree with you. Look forward to the live version. It's great too.
It's hard to request a Depeche Mode song because they are all good. Wait till you get to Music for the Masses and Violator albums, you will be blasted with bangers. Some particular juicy ones: "Strangelove," "Behind the Wheel," "Personal Jesus," "World in My Eyes" ..... It's an exhaustive but magnificent list. 👍👍DM is ear candy!! 🎶🎶My personal fave is the live version of "Route 66" total groovy-ness in all its perfection.
All very true. The reason people haven’t requested this song is not because it’s not good, it’s because they have such broad list of incredible songs. Even I’m constantly debating which ones are at the top of the list. I’ve seen them live 7 times starting with the Music for the Masses tour, which is my favourite concert ever. Mode will always be #1 for me even though they were no where near their former glory after Alan Wilder left. Their earlier stuff is just too amazing to ignore.
You HAVE to listen to 101 it's a full live concert after Music for the Masses and it's the reason why many people fell in love with DM, they are amazing live
This is wothout a doubt one of Martin's best songs that he sung, right up there with Somebody, an absolute classic. Check out the "Minimal Mix" for some mind-bending.
Living in California, a friend played Speak and Spell for me and I thought it was okay. Then Black Celebration reached my ears while I was in Germany. A few weeks later, I went to see them (Book of Love opened), and from then on, I was hooked. A Question of Lust is by far my favorite song. And yes, Black Celebration is my favorite album. DMs Momento Mori tour may be the last chance to see them in a stadium setting. See them live while you still can!
For me no Violator, no Sofad and others DM albums can't beat Black Celebration! It's their best time and work ever, no one bad song! It inspired as many american rap artists, as IDM artists like Autechre, Aphex Twin and so on. 1986 was a great year for electronic music, kind of a turning point!
I enjoyed watching you listen to this for the first time. You are in the DM era for me where you will hear a lot of the obligatory "best of DM" talking points---because it really is some of their best music. This is my favorite Martin song by far---with 'The Things You Said,' coming close as well.
I discovered DM in 1987, when I was fourteen and Ilistened Strangelove on the radio. But, from the moment I discovered this ballad it was my ffavourite song from Black Celebration. I agree absolutely with you. Perhaps ballads aren't the obvious choice for a top list of DM but some of them are between their best songs.
I fell in love with this (and Martin) when I first heard it too. Listened to it everyday for months! And the album just remains at this level. Can't wait for your coming reactions.
this song I knew since I was 14 years old and I has understand it so good in that age. It was my secret song because I hadn´d noone to talk about it. I think it´s a very personal song for anybody so this is the reason why nobody has suggested it to you.
It’s so beautiful. Black celebration was the first album I bought, in 1997 when I was 14 😅 having just listened to title track on a random tape… I needed to see what the whole album was like and man… I BECAME A FAN AND HAD TO BUY ALL OF THEIR ALBUMS. I cry with this song and also with the extended version of BUT NOT TONIGHT. BLACK CELEBRATION IS TOP 3 DM albums for me 😇
your reaction...it was mine so long ago and still have goosebumps every time..of course, the production, the music but again the lyrics from Mart ..perfection....and for the next two coming again just pay attention to the fantastic lyrics .
why in the heck has no one recommended this to me in the past!!!! Like pretty much EVERY OTHER SONG has been requested at some point. But nothing for this one....
You were given the gift of low expectations with this one. Martin's chorus vocal and accompanying chimes is so gorgeous, especially when he hits those high notes with "what we've built up crumble to dust..."
This is my favorite DM song of all time. It's a hard call, but this is the winner for me. And I love Martin's voice on this one, so special. I'm glad you love it, I told you this was coming. :) In my defense on the "suggestion" aspect, I only started listening to your channel since you've been doing the albums in order. So I was just letting stuff come.
My God, there are so many great songs. Where do you start. It's a much loved song, but there are sooo many others, too. Martin's songs are a different beast. Truly lovely and unique; different from Dave's songs.
.... and Alan Wilder is a synth god, when the two of them come together they make history ..... .... God, they need to reunite, make they put aside their differences to make great beautiful music again .... before its too late ..
The whole part about the flies - They start off by saying death is everywhere, and flies tend to be attracted to dead things, so the flies are a symbol of death. The point is we can die at any moment, so come here, touch me, kiss me now.
Black Celebration became like eating breakfast i listened to this every day next to Violator my favorite album. This Song is only topped by the 101 live version when i hit puberty lol
So many amazing tracks by dm it would be a massive list. But home is another awesome track with Martin singing. But seeing as you are doing it almost in order you will just have to wait... : ).
Martin's voice is angelic and it is the same live- if not more beautiful. One Caress shocked everyone as he did it in ONE TAKE. He is perfect. There is no voice in the world like his!
Olso an amazing song called, But not tonight, first interpreted by Dave Gahan, but last years version, live, interpreted by MLGore is impresive, i think best live performance for Martin Gore, sing But not tonight,,,,, look at it
It’s certainly one of Martin’s best - vocally, sonically and lyrically. But, with that being said, I’m still curious to see what you have to say about his songs like The Things You Said, Sweetest Perfection, Judas, Home, Breathe, Macro and many others
Martin Gore in Bong issue no. 37, 1998: "This track has always been almost like an old 50s or 60s classic pop song. It’s a really good song to do live and it’s got a great melody. I joked with the others about it the other day, saying I think The Beatles stole the melody from me..."
As for the Black Celebration album, you should definitely listen to the song A Question Of Time (remix) used in the music video for this song. It's better than the original on the album
Its a great song! No idea why people don't request it.I especially like Home and Once Caress sung by Martin in later albums.The next few albums from Black Celebration are like extremely good.
For me this reaction is not a surprise, everyone loves it, DP fans, but they have so many good songs that not even I can seperate my favs, I was 16 when this was released.
When I was 15, home sick, I stumbled on this on TV and I was quite literally struck by God and I was never the same again.

This song is one of my favorites by DM. Along with about thirty others :D I don't have any rankings, everything depends on the mood of the moment. Otherwise, in my opinion, there is not a single weaker track on the Black Celebration album.
Try 'Somebody'; apparently Martin recorded it naked by candlelight. 80s music will never be equalled. Depeche Mode, Duran Duran, Human League and others. Also please listen to the band 'Talk Talk' with one of the greatest voices ever in the terrible, awful, sad, heart-breaking death of the great, great Mark Hollis.
101 version is the hq one bu the most amazing voczl performance is in the 1986 tour. He goes very very high in pitch in this live, it's almost hutting your own throat.
@@SephPlays A double reaction would be epic. By the way, was just listening to the sun and the rainfall in 5.1, and I promise it sounds way more cleaner than the original mix. Most of their songs works better in 5.1, like the sun and the rainfall, lie to me, two minute warning, and the list goes on. Violator album in 5.1 is actually the best thing Ive ever heard, except with enjoy the silence. If you have the time, once you've finished the Ultra album or if you want to re listen their old tunes with a fresher flair, I really recommend you those mixes. Their don't change the musical structures, they re just putting previously hidden sounds in your ears.
I'll be honest here. This song is not my favorite, but it's not because it's not good, it's great. But, I love so many songs from this band that I can't choose a favorite. They have recorded so much excellent music.
Question of Lust has exceptional lyrics, and the melody ain’t half bad. Myself though, I’m partial to the younger, gayer version of DM and would suggest New Life.
I don't know how you came to the conclusion AQOL is underated or not liked much, it must've just gotten lost in all the other great DM songs listed/recommended because it is one of the best DM songs in general and definitely a top 5 Martin songs for fans. You should really listen to the Minimal mix and the Flood mix.
Ohh i definitely will listen to some mixes in the near future 😊 Its odd really. Its one of them songs that DM fans don't seem to talk about much? I dunno, i personally think that it really is one of the best DM songs 👌❤️
Maybe someone did suggest it to you, but how do you go in album-by-album order... well, we're waiting for you to enjoy the order of each album, without skipping from one to another. AQOL is one of the fan favorites, make no mistake about it and at least 8 out of 10 fans will say so.
I think they kinda lost this simplicity and melodic approach in the last albums. I love them anyway and still buy their albums because they are still above average junk you could listen on the radio

Marty sounds like an 😇 angel...wait til you get to Home or One Caress omg...I get goosebumps with his voice...
OK to be honest at times I get a Lil teary-eyed even...with his voice ...I don't know why...sigh...my brain just likes it...
Same here
Most diehard DM fans love Martin's ballads and especially this one! Martin's lyrics are REAL life! If you pay attention, you will really enjoy the ride the next few albums will bring. I don't suggest songs as I know you are going in order!
All DM fans ADORE this song. I spent months and months singing along this masterpiece when it was released.
This song was amazing 😍
My personal favourite song from Martin is 'The things you said', from Music for the Masses (I'm really looking forward to your reaction on that), but this is definetly the second.
When I was around 10-12 years old this was the song I listened all the time.
Simply: Beautiful song
After so many decades as a Depeche Mode fan, I like "A Question of Lust" more than "Somebody". So I agree with you. Look forward to the live version. It's great too.
This is masterpiece... another great song fr this album is it's doesn't matter two
After this im on a all time high. 3 GOOD SONGS IN A ROW!!!
Sometimes and it doesn't matter two (a good one) are rather quiet songs which are perfect for following songs
It's hard to request a Depeche Mode song because they are all good. Wait till you get to Music for the Masses and Violator albums, you will be blasted with bangers. Some particular juicy ones: "Strangelove," "Behind the Wheel," "Personal Jesus," "World in My Eyes" .....

this is a masterpiece and his voice gives me goosebumps 😱😱 very angelical and beautiful song
16 when this album came out and still 16 today when I listen to it....
My absolute favorite song EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
It’s definitely one of my all time favs
You HAVE to listen to 101 it's a full live concert after Music for the Masses and it's the reason why many people fell in love with DM, they are amazing live
Trust me i wont miss any of them :D
This is wothout a doubt one of Martin's best songs that he sung, right up there with Somebody, an absolute classic. Check out the "Minimal Mix" for some mind-bending.

Yasss. A beautiful, beautiful song. It is my fave, too. I used to sing and play this in car on repeat, many, many times. So glad for you.
Of course, one of my favorite ❤ When I was a teenager and again !111
Personally Question of Lust is my favourite on Black Celebration album sang by Martin Gore.
M.l. GORE is the soul of Depeche mode. Gahan is just a body.
One of my favvvvs!!
Here the song from there live single version he sounds like angel.
For me no Violator, no Sofad and others DM albums can't beat Black Celebration! It's their best time and work ever, no one bad song! It inspired as many american rap artists, as IDM artists like Autechre, Aphex Twin and so on. 1986 was a great year for electronic music, kind of a turning point!
You can't go wrong with any of them but In my opinion Songs of faith and devotion is their masterpiece. I've been a fan since 1981.
yea, this is one of my favs from Black Celebration, a hidden gem, deffinetly.
I enjoyed watching you listen to this for the first time. You are in the DM era for me where you will hear a lot of the obligatory "best of DM" talking points---because it really is some of their best music. This is my favorite Martin song by far---with 'The Things You Said,' coming close as well.
I’m sure you’ll be saying this one of my favourites for many songs over the next 3 albums.
I have about 20 songs from them in my top 5 list ;)
I discovered DM in 1987, when I was fourteen and Ilistened Strangelove on the radio. But, from the moment I discovered this ballad it was my ffavourite song from Black Celebration. I agree absolutely with you. Perhaps ballads aren't the obvious choice for a top list of DM but some of them are between their best songs.
This song is sooooooo good. its now on my phone haha
I fell in love with this (and Martin) when I first heard it too. Listened to it everyday for months! And the album just remains at this level. Can't wait for your coming reactions.
One of DMs all time greats! Live is amazing, DM ALWAYS better live- my opinion.
Black Celebration is my favorite album! In my opinion there is not one bad song on this album. My favorite song sung by Martin is "Home."
Black Celebration and Violator are near perfect albums to me.
@@lynnhettrick7588 add ULTRA, and I'm in
Agree with you!! Absolutely one of my favourites!!
this song I knew since I was 14 years old and I has understand it so good in that age. It was my secret song because I hadn´d noone to talk about it. I think it´s a very personal song for anybody so this is the reason why nobody has suggested it to you.

This gets better and better with each listen.
Thank you for reacting to my favourite Depeche Mode album. Also thank you for not only reacting to the music but the lyrics as well.
Somebody was good, this one is great! I think no one suggested this because there are just too many great DM songs. This song is great live!
your reaction...it was mine so long ago and still have goosebumps every time..of course, the production, the music but again the lyrics from Mart ..perfection....and for the next two coming again just pay attention to the fantastic lyrics .
No no all DM fans love this song !
why in the heck has no one recommended this to me in the past!!!! Like pretty much EVERY OTHER SONG has been requested at some point. But nothing for this one....
It's well worth doing all of the 101 Live concert...and this is one of those tracks
only listen to Black Celebration at night. It change my life
You were given the gift of low expectations with this one. Martin's chorus vocal and accompanying chimes is so gorgeous, especially when he hits those high notes with "what we've built up crumble to dust..."
You should do the next 2 songs in one post. They are both pretty short & also Martin songs!
This is my favorite DM song of all time. It's a hard call, but this is the winner for me. And I love Martin's voice on this one, so special. I'm glad you love it, I told you this was coming. :)
In my defense on the "suggestion" aspect, I only started listening to your channel since you've been doing the albums in order. So I was just letting stuff come.
Martin's Voice is Grateful..and Synthplay 😎
My God, there are so many great songs. Where do you start. It's a much loved song, but there are sooo many others, too. Martin's songs are a different beast. Truly lovely and unique; different from Dave's songs.
This is one song that Martin sings that I actually like. 👍
This is by far the best song i have heard him sing to date. And it's on my phone right now playing haha
Martin is one of the best Songwriter..
And this is one of the best songs 😍
.... and Alan Wilder is a synth god, when the two of them come together they make history .....
.... God, they need to reunite, make they put aside their differences to make great beautiful music again .... before its too late ..
Very good reaction.👍
You should consider reacting to the live performance of Martin singing this...❤😁

Because It’s a tough song to listen to after a breakup or divorce. The 101 live version is really good.

Ok i'm strating to see a pattern is people liking "Home" actually. must be good?
@@SephPlays yes "home" is that good .. his angel voice and the lyrics take on a new level. But it's not for awhile yet 😂😂
@@HappiestG Something to lookforward to :DDD
Agreed but home OMG Martin sings like an angel .
For me this reaction is not a surprise, everyone loves it, DP fans, but they have so many good songs that not even I can seperate my favs, I was 16 when this was released.
❤
Lol fan polls about their best song has this song in the top 3 consistently. It's DEFINITELY one of our favorites.
This song was an instant *buy* for me. And ive now listened to this an ungodly amount of times haha
@@SephPlays excellent 👌
I know you'll get there, but for me, Home is Martin Gore's best song. Makes me cry almost every time.
When I was 15, home sick, I stumbled on this on TV and I was quite literally struck by God and I was never the same again.
This song is one of my favorites by DM. Along with about thirty others :D I don't have any rankings, everything depends on the mood of the moment. Otherwise, in my opinion, there is not a single weaker track on the Black Celebration album.

M a s t e r p i e c e!
Couldn't agree more!! 😍😍
Sea of sin 😉👍 très sensuel.
If you like this song so much you have to listen to the Flood mix version
is that an offical mix or fan made one?
@@SephPlays official. Flood is a music producer
@@SephPlays Flood is a music producer. He made several DM records.
You should listen to it live from 101
I'm going to do that before i finish with this album!!!
101 version is the hq one bu the most amazing voczl performance is in the 1986 tour. He goes very very high in pitch in this live, it's almost hutting your own throat.
@@alregis8668 OMG I will listen to both at some point!
There are other songs with Martin to come. Maybe later you remember me😉 One caress, Home, blue dress...all of them have this level in my opinion...

I think that Martín didn t do a bad song yet,,,,
we don't suggest you this song because we all want you to have a big surprise! :)

Martin only used lust because love doesnt rhyme with trust.

wait for Violator.
The best Martin Gore lead vocals song...until you listen to 'Home' on the 'Ultra' album!
Try to listen "Home" and tell what´s better
A partir del albúm Black Celebration ya no hay una canción mejor que otra, todas son soberbias.
Hasta ahora no puedo estar en desacuerdo contigo! Este se perfila como mi álbum favorito hasta ahora :D
Got the song here. th-cam.com/video/2hY818XInyA/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for this one, ist's great!
I think they kinda lost this simplicity and melodic approach in the last albums. I love them anyway and still buy their albums because they are still above average junk you could listen on the radio
