This is my wife's absolute favorite Depeche Mode song! It was written for a movie which is why it is so upbeat and commercial. They wrote it very quickly. Nothing sinister in this one, it is about someone really thankful to be alive and feeling the rain falling down on them.
My favorite DP song too. The movie was actually a very good look at club life in LA in the mid 80s and had the gorgeous Virginia Madsen in it called Modern Girls
This is my favorite Depeche Mode song and I do love the movie Modern Girls. It made me so sad to hear that Depeche Mode didn't like the movie and wouldn't perform But Not Tonight in concert...although I understand that Martin Gore will perform it now.
I love this song. Listen to it late at night and just get lost in the amazing atmosphere. I knew you’d dig this one. And yes, it’s Martin doing the oooohhhh oooohhhhh
this song despite DM not liking it at first and wanted to leave it off their album turned out to be a big hit in the States. It was the main soundtrack in Modern Girls a hit 80s movie. It is by far one of my favorites of all time.
Oh how I loooooove this song! Its about feeling renewed ...nothing sexual for once lol When they played it in Houston couple to tours ago I was overwhelmed in tears!ty for the reaction
An interesting thing i found in all my years as a DM fan.. if you pay attention closely while listening to the albums especially the first 9 to 10 albums or so.. the last song on those albums is always a unique song that stands out from the rest.. it won't be mainstream but its always something special.
@@DxModel219 I can tell you that this song never made it to the radio if it was mainstream. Nothing of Depeche modes music in the states made it to the radio save People are people and then the various songs from Violator. So in between there lies the album Black Celebration. The other thing is Modern Girls was not a hit by any stretch of the imagination. Gross worldwide. $604,849. In fact to say worldwide would be misleading because it only ran in the US and Canada.
To me, it's certainly one of their more innocent songs. As always it's easy to read into it and because it's Martin we're naturally suspicious. He's in a good mood and he feels alive when so often he's mistaken for dead and so- "My pleasure at being so wet", it's raining on me and I don't care. I'm alone but I don't care because nothing is going to bring me down, this night is different- But Not Tonight.
@@My_Fair_Lady lol i know it's Dave singing. I meant it's Martin's song he wrote it and he is lyrics are always laced with dark points thus we are looking for it, naturally suspicious of his lyrics.
Superb song - I never get sick of listening to this and it's mixes. I also love the live acoustic versions from Berlin and Texas - definitely worth checking out in your timeline.
I always took it to be a song about one of those glorious nights when you feel truly alive and clean, and in Martin's case of writing it and the reference to eyes being red/mistaken for dead and other nights not feeling this way for so long being about his days and night filled usually with the effects of his alcoholism at the time. ......A night of sobriety where he suddenly felt the simple beauty of walking through the rain. This one has a glide-y feel to the music and vocal stretched vowels to me that feels uplifting that match with my memories of moments like that when something just causes the world to feel gorgeous for a short while.
B Side of Stripped but not for the US Market where the local record label had decide to chose But not Tonight for A Side ! A very very poppy song i like but Stripped is really better… The band didn’t love this track so much but had respect this choice. This song choice for A Side is probably also because of a movie in which this song was used. And then the band made a video for this one ;)
This is the 12inch remix version , it is about 1 minute longer than the original and has an extra layer of vocal harmony mixed in. The original does not have the vocal ooos just before the lyrics kick in, other than that they are pretty much the same, they didn’t loop any vocals or add in any verses or extra chorus, I’m not sure which version I prefer, to me the original has a slightly harder sound to it , and it’s the one I’m more familiar with.
I adored this song when I heard it..its the one that grows on you

I absolutely love this song. As others have already written, definitely try the live version sung by Martin. It has a slower pace but also has a fantastic atmosphere 🙂👌
The thing about the Black Celebration era (or the final Berlin Trilogy era) Alan was taking more of interest in production issues than the others ... Hence a really listenable experience. This carries on through the next 3 albums until he left in 1994... And Don't for get Shake The Disease,it's b-side FLEXIBLE and the next single It's Called A Heart (these were before Black Celebration Seph... A major shock for die hard Depeche fans that you had missed them... Remember the backlash from Somebody and If You Want
On the topic of covering the "in-between" songs, if you are looking to fully cover every track the group put together chronologically, it may be helpful to also cover 1+2 by Recoil (Alan Wilder's solo release he recorded around the time of Black Celebration, it's short). Martin Gore released a cover album, Counterfeit, which released between Music for the Masses (1987) and Violator (1990) (Counterfeit features MLG's cover of "Never Turn Your Back On Mother Earth", a sound from which was later used to famous effect on Depeche's smash hit "Enjoy the Silence"). Wilder released Hydrology as a Recoil solo LP in 1988 in that same period. "Death's Door" was released as Depeche Mode for a film soundtrack in 1991, between Violator and Songs of Faith and Devotion (1993). Alan Wilder released the Recoil LP Bloodline between Violator and SOFAD; he also produced the Nitzer Ebb album Ebbhead in that same time period (some sounds recorded for this album would later be used on SOFAD). In summary: "Shake The Disease", "Fly On The Windscreen", "Flexible", "It's Called A Heart" (Depeche) Black Celebration (Depeche) 1+2 (Recoil) Music for the Masses (Depeche) Hydrology (Recoil) Counterfeit (Martin Gore, 1989) 101 (Depeche Mode live) "Time Turns Around (Eurotech Remix)" (Toni Halliday, remixed by Wilder. The guitar from this song would later be repurposed for the screeching guitar FX in the outro of Depeche's "Policy Of Truth") Violator (Depeche) "Come Alive (Alan Wilder Remix) (Nitzer Ebb) "Death's Door" (Depeche) Bloodline (Recoil) Ebbhead (Nitzer Ebb, produced by Wilder and Flood, who also produced Violator and SOFAD) Songs Of Faith & Devotion (Depeche) Completely understandable if you wish to stick with just the Depeche studio albums for the time being for the sake of keeping it simple, though it may be interesting for you to hear how the band's sound developed and expanded between each Depeche release. Hope this info helps!
This is a cool track, apparently only released on the US version of Black Celebration. Up next, another of the GREAT albums, and the first 4 songs are all fabulous.
If and when you move on to Music for the Masses (it’s a banger!), make sure you get the album versions of Strangelove and Behind the Wheel as the single releases are quite different
Martin doing the high vocals... The A-side (Stripped) was released and in America when it was released the American radio preferred to play this instead of Stripped
He puesto el video e inmediatamente lo he pausado, por que antes de ver tu opinion te escribo esto para decirte que esta es mi canción preferida de Depeche Mode, me evoca grandes momentos de mi juventud, incluso me llega a recordar ciertos olores de perfumes de aquel tiempo. La versión recomendable es la Extended en el que el propio golpeo de la caja te envuelve creando un aura especial. No me decepciones....😃
❤hey seph this is my all time favourite b-side...depeche mode should make a whole album of b-sides...this is one of those songs u just want to play over and over again 😊😊
Great song, I think that's an extended version. Before you warped up this album and move on to the next one, you need to listen "Shake the Disease" and "It's Called a Heart". Two songs that came out before the album was even recorded. 😉
I was thinking of watersports (if you know what I mean)! When you think about it, the stars and moon aren't usually out when it's raining! So what could they mean? Well, a person's backside is often referred to as the moon. I guess the stars that bring tears to his eyes could be urine. As disgusting as it sounds, they may have done this for a joke. DM wasn't happy with having to write the song for the movie because it wasn't their idea to do so. So this subtle use of these double entendres may have them getting the last laugh...
you should do a reaction to the Austin City Limits live version. it's absolutely outstanding! and if not a reaction, just be sure to enjoy it on your own.
This is the UK 12" Extended Version. You should also do the US 12" Remix Version of this, it has different vocal effects and instrument effects, a grittier and edgier version. Thank me later LOL. The 7" single and US album version is also uniquely different.
I'm not sure if it would go to far for a reaction. But you must listen to Shake The Disease (Remixed Extended) and Stripped (Highland Mix). Even if you can't react to them, please listen to them for yourself. Both are outstanding.
No Seph, they wasn't speaking about drug adittions or so, it only describes someone grateful to be alone and alive in a rainy night after too many parties and excesses... It's a nice and innocent song with a catchy and adictive melody that doesn't fit with the darker tone of the album, and that's the reason why is a B-Side, not included in the final list
This song is an example of one of the (many) reasons Depeche Mode is so good -- they'll throw in an uplifting song but there is always some melancholy. "Here on my own... all on my own. How good it feels to be alone tonight" is one of those great lines. And to re-iterate what many people have already said... check out the live versions sung by Martin. Live in Berlin or Live at the Troubadour... honestly even better than this version!
I basically like the song but it seemed a little like an obvious attempt to tack on a hit single. I don’t think the band thought much of it either considering they never or rarely performed it live. I’ve seen DM live 8 times since 86 and I’ve never seen them play it. They may have played it on their Black Celebration tour but I was thrown out of the concert sometime in the first 45 minutes of the concert for throwing folding chairs.
@@SephPlays ok but you will have to do some live too because it is the particularity of this group, for me they are much better on stage than in the studio. well that's my opinion 🤔🤗
This is one of the bands least favorite songs. Lol. The American record executives released it here in America for a movie. They wanted Stripped released instead.
The band's US record label, Sire, tacked this song on to the end of BLACK CELEBRATION. Alan talked about his and the band's displeasure with Sire's practice of doing this with their albums.

So catchy,so melodic. One of the greatest Depeche Mode song. Love this one. Awesome song to dance,make love,absolutely great song! Long live DM!!!
My absolute favorite DM tune.
my fav band of all time so many drives in the car through the streets of miami with friends just enjoying our youth truly a albums of my life.
Having been a long time fan of DM, 35 years and counting.....I have lots of favorites, but this is absolutely at the top of the list!

It's about being happy to just be alive. It has nothing to do with drugs or sex. Just the simple fact that we all take for granted of being ALIVE
Apparently depeche mode recorded this song in one afternoon. The most melodic on this album.
Yes, this track is so great! I'm so glade, all the B-Sides are in my Black Celebration Album.

In Houston I was there I was ecstatic when this song came on!!!
One of my absolute favorites!
Vince Clarke is secretly playing the bell parts on this track. 😂😂😂 Great song!! 👍
Really? That's awesome.
I’m actually learning how to play some of Depeche Modes songs on piano. This song is prob the most fun to play
Keep it up and never stop! There’s a guy who plays only DM on the keyboard and his channel name is DX5
There are so many good B-Sides waiting for you. (Flexible, Dangerous aso...)
I always took it to be a song about one of those glorious nights when you feel truly alive and clean, and in Martin's case of writing it and the reference to eyes being red/mistaken for dead and other nights not feeling this way for so long being about his days and night filled usually with the effects of his alcoholism at the time. ......A night of sobriety where he suddenly felt the simple beauty of walking through the rain.
