This song is just as important today as it was in 1984. This is my favorite band and if you go down their youtube rabbit hole, you will realize how strong Martin's lyrics and songs are!
epic lyric... I'm relying on your common decency So far it hasn't surfaced But I'm sure it exists It just takes a while to travel From your head to your fist
I was 9 and had loved DM since 1982. I still love them to this day. They are my favorite band of all time! Seen them a few timesand missed them once due to being grounded. The one concert I missed was the 101 concert. The most iconic concert ever!
??? Fast ???? You felt in the wrong alternative... Depeche Mode was as you said a magazine... "Depeche" is a COMMON name for newspaper... A "depeche" means a "short information" (short news), because it was written quickly that's true... But that sense came AFTER... "Depeche" means dispatch originally. But the "Depeche" in depeche mode is like "X reporter" or "X daily" or "La depeche du midi" (A southern france newspaper). So Depeche Mode means "Fashion News".
My understanding according to DM bio is that Marty Gore was beaten because of his way of dressing up in streets of Basildon ...he is the writer...and a great writer imo
Classic British new wave. De-pesh Mode have been around since the 80s. Universal message with catchy instrumentation and good vocals. They have plenty of great songs. Personal Jesus, enjoy the silence are just a few.
Rock and Roll Of Fame inductees this year! They took over being my favorite band from Duran Duran in 1984 and remain so today. They are ONE OF A KIND. Their influence is on today’s music is immeasurable.
One of the creators of Depeche Mode's sound used the same Moog sounds to Create a group called Yaz band a good upbeat song's Don't Go and Situation... But the song Midnight takes you to church Then he formed Erasure OMG A Little Respect!
Thanks for giving this song a listen, sister!! *hugs* I'm pretty sure you'll sooner or later get into even more Depeche Mode songs :) I always love how Music unites people everywhere.
I remember when this song was first released here in the States. It didn't get a ton of radio play, but I knew it well. Then they re-released it and the radio discovered it and played the every living hell out of it. It was YEARS, if not decades, before I could listen to it again. That said, it's a GREAT song and has a brilliant message. I prefer DM's songs which are written by Martin. My absolutely favorite DM song is "Somebody." I remember being in college and staying up late studying with "Somebody" on full repeat on my father's fancy stereo.
Really....The 27 deaf, dumb, blind, closed minded individuals who gave a thumbs down couldn't write, sing, orchestrate a song in a concert hall....SMH! These guys are Genius with their talents, imagination and originality.
Hi folks, I was s teenage boy when they relessed People are People. This is one of those songs which gives the younger generation the way we felt during this decade- chears Dave/Martin/Andrew: YOU ARE DOING A FINE JOB Thanx hg ( we will rock you, percussion)
I didn’t think there was anyone on the planet, that didn’t know who these guy are. Amazing. Also amazing, is Oingo Boingo. And Tears for Fears (songs from the big chair) “Shout” and “Everybody wants to rule the world.” Dee Pesh Mode.
Depeche is a French word translated to English means Dispatch. Many of their songs are about "Dispatching" stereo typically common thoughts about other cultures or ideals. I was 17 and in high school in 1983 (yes I'm an old fart) so listen to your pappy :P
The song list for this band is massive with tons of hits. They still put out albums and have a large, devoted fan base. And, their new albums are actually good. Playing the Angel is one of my favorites from them. Some suggestions: Enjoy the Silence (video version), Shake the Disease, I Feel You, Precious, Home, Suffer Well (video version), and Free Love.
Well said, India! I love this song for the important message as well as for the cool synthesizers, dance beat and vocals. I was in college when this came out, and it brings back great memories of dancing with my friends. The old news reels were from World War II, which made for an interesting reminder about what hatred can lead to. Like you said, we need more empathy and understanding and kindness in the world today. Keep up the good work!
My best band ;) This lyrics tells about all our kind human reaction and action to each other. Not only colour etc. Uoy must try listing more them to understand they style.
This song is about conflict that occur because of diversity or judging people who are different from you who might be scapegoated. Also, this song came out during the early to mid 80's where nuclear war was a real possibility. Great song layered with many issues that could be solved with ONE MESSAGE.
I love that you say that we're all one I taught my children to be colorblind and to judge people on their Merit not the color of their skin that's a quote from Martin Luther King jr. It's a good thing to stand by I'm telling you we would be friends me and you I always tell people just be yourself your real friends will be around and anybody else who cares
Make sure you listen to more Depeche Mode. They are legendary. Will be inducted into the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame this year (if we all live through this pandemic).
During this era they did indeed build up percussion tracks from samples of metal "instruments" straight out of the scrapyard. The classic line-up: Martin Gore (songwriter), Alan WIlder (most of the instrumentation), Dave Gahan (lead singer), Andy Fletcher (spare part) It's odd that Martin Gore really hates this lyric. It's not what you would call out-of-character - for one thing he's never overcome his tendencies toward awkward rhyming and unintentionally funny turns of phrase, while the theme of the song is obviously one he's returned to. I hope you get around to checking out some more mature Depeche Mode. Assuming it's watchable in your territory, this th-cam.com/video/pMDdf9fAMRU/w-d-xo.html is a good place to go next.
I was a kid but I remember them very well, classic electronic pop....with an edge. At the time I thought the 80s were crap but now I really appreciate that time, apart from the whole greed thing
It's hard to stay "nice" in this crappy world we've created, but I truly AM trying. Hugs to everybody else who STILL tries to embrace every soul they come in contact with... Peace!
Interestingly enough, the man with the puffy blonde hair who sings the higher parts, writes nearly all of their material to this day. About six years after this song was a hit he found out he (Martin L. Gore) was being raised by his biological mother, bit his father wasn’t his biological father. It turns out his father is African American and from Virginia, I believe. His mother met him when he was a soldier and Martin was the result of their fling. They are still an enormously popular band and play to huge crowds even though they received little airplay in the states. They are extremely unique in that they used sampling to create natural sounds instead of using it to take pieces or sounds from other bands.
This group was sooooo ahead of its time and their music now still sounds fresh.
@Douglas Taggart today's music sucks
It's incredible how relevant this sounds today, over 35 years later
Yes.
A song for today's time, made decades ago.
I completely agree
Especially these times !
They saw the signs. Youngins were more conscious in the 70s and 80s too. Now it's about trends n tictocs
We need this message even more in these times
This song is just as important today as it was in 1984. This is my favorite band and if you go down their youtube rabbit hole, you will realize how strong Martin's lyrics and songs are!
epic lyric...
I'm relying on your common decency
So far it hasn't surfaced
But I'm sure it exists
It just takes a while to travel
From your head to your fist
It's still pretty relevant isn't it.
I was all about Depeche Mode (Depesh Mode) in my youth. Them and Tears for Fears. From like about 12 years old until..now. Yeah still love them.
Depeche Mode are still 40 years on ahead of everyones time, amazing band.
Depeche Mode never gets enough love. If you enjoyed this, check out their "Music For the Masses" album. Wall to wall greatness.
"Di pesh Mode"
One of my favorite albums of all time. Not a bad song to be found.
Music for the Masses is great true but my favorite album is Some Great Reward!
i prefer deh-peh-ssssh mode.
@@jasonmgomez Fair enough. Have a great day all.
@@jasonmgomez i prefer dee pesh mode lol
I was only 16 when this came out in 84. Love the 80's. More please ;) x
I was 9 and had loved DM since 1982. I still love them to this day. They are my favorite band of all time! Seen them a few timesand missed them once due to being grounded. The one concert I missed was the 101 concert. The most iconic concert ever!
I was 10
I was 14 💕
12 in '84 for me. Hi to all my fellow GenXers!
I was 10 loved this and run DMC zeppelin Al green etc...music is music like people are people
This song it should be hanging on a wall in Louvre. A Masterpiece.
More Depeche Mode, my fav band!
80's child here. DM fan from the beginning. I was at the 101 concert at the Rose Bowl. Best night of my life! They are even better LIVE!! 💛
101 is...there just are not words for how essential to life 101 is. Except the title 101 that is...lol.
I was at 101 too!!
I was 14 and there with my bf Dan, his mom drove us from the valley lol
Lucky you!!! I'm so envy!!
OMG they were so young!!! It was so weird seeing them at this age after so many years lol!
I'm 15 and grew up around a lot of 80's/90's music and Depeche Mode was one of the bands that my mom would play and I've really grown to love them
Stripped is one of their best. Dark and moody 80’s Industrial POP.
Rammsteins cover, even better?, love them both though.
Phillip Wilson I like their version but the original is my favourite.
Depeche Mode was taken from the name of a french fashion magazine. It means fast fashion. Legendary band that has influenced many people.
??? Fast ???? You felt in the wrong alternative... Depeche Mode was as you said a magazine... "Depeche" is a COMMON name for newspaper... A "depeche" means a "short information" (short news), because it was written quickly that's true... But that sense came AFTER... "Depeche" means dispatch originally.
But the "Depeche" in depeche mode is like "X reporter" or "X daily" or "La depeche du midi" (A southern france newspaper). So Depeche Mode means "Fashion News".
I'm French and I can tell you that's wrong ! Garry Iglesias told the right translation (Fashion News)
Wrong .... in french dm means « a magazine who deals with fashion ».... dépêche means newspaper.... do you understand.....
Fashion Express is the best translation I can think of
Holy cow.....I'm officially old! But I loved them waaaay back
I love these lyrics. I grew up listening to this music. David and Martin look:so young.
In the 80's DP actually created a lot of their sounds by recording various noises on then new samplers.
Spent many an angst teenage day with Depeche back in the day. We took ourselves WAY to seriously :)
Old school...yeah the best school. DM forever devote!!!
We need more of this thought process in current times!!
My understanding according to DM bio is that Marty Gore was beaten because of his way of dressing up in streets of Basildon ...he is the writer...and a great writer imo
One of my top 5 favorite bands!! Great music! Great live band! Seen them in Seattle for Music for the Masses show.
I'm 42years old now and I'm still a big fan of Depeche Mode and these song is still relevant onto this day..
Classic British new wave. De-pesh Mode have been around since the 80s. Universal message with catchy instrumentation and good vocals. They have plenty of great songs. Personal Jesus, enjoy the silence are just a few.
Thank you for reacting to this Song. Depeche Mode is my favorite band. Very best live band, lead singer Dave Gahan will blow your mind!
That's when they were little boys, but they were great. Still great to this day.
Rock and Roll Of Fame inductees this year! They took over being my favorite band from Duran Duran in 1984 and remain so today. They are ONE OF A KIND. Their influence is on today’s music is immeasurable.
Depeche Mode is my favorite band, and this song is from 1984! Their lyrics are about real life, and Martin Gore is an incredible lyricist!
There needs to be more love from people instead of hate and drama ,more peace needed in this world and kindness and caring .
I LOVE DEPECHE MODE YES!!! Please check out 'Enjoy the Silence'
This is one of the best examples of how the great Alan Wilder brought the techno sounds into the band.
One of the creators of Depeche Mode's sound used the same Moog sounds to Create a group called Yaz band a good upbeat song's Don't Go and Situation... But the song Midnight takes you to church Then he formed Erasure OMG A Little Respect!
great songs they did include Strangelove, Personal Jesus, Enjoy The Silence, Route 66, Policy etc
Good reaction. Glad to see ppl trying out different music. Two thumbs up! ;)
You really should watch/react to "Personal Jesus" by Depeche Mode. And then, turn yourself onto the group INXS soon.
Still such a powerful song. The name is De-pesh mode. Best alternative band ever!
pronounced Duh-Pesh Mode. (French). Great group. Check out "Policy of Truth" and "Walking In My Shoes" from Depeche Mode
Hurried Fashion
Try blasphemous rumours ,the lyrics on that will mess with your head
Thanks for giving this song a listen, sister!! *hugs* I'm pretty sure you'll sooner or later get into even more Depeche Mode songs :) I always love how Music unites people everywhere.
dave gahan has the most sexual voice ever. i'm glad i've seen them live few years ago finally
You are so right! Its so haunting and sultry!
Great UK band. Fantastic sounds
Their song "Everything Counts" is amazing too!!
With a suntan and a grin.
@@Shawn0428 HA! Funny, I still hit the dance floor when that song comes on.
@@janstan8407 :)
DM started out as this cute pop band and slowly grew darker, sexier, and more awesome.
Anything and Everything from Depeche Mode is brilliant. Been a fan from the beginning, way back in 1981
Depeche's message is one we have heard for....well forever. For some mysterious reason people cannot understand such a simple message. Great reaction.
Love this song for its message and groovy beat
Love love Depeche Mode. Everything counts is my favorite...
My 11 year old son's favorite song. All about love and acceptance.
I really love your attitude and Depeche mode!
Thanks for your reaction love it💕💞💖 we need more love in this world and not hate and judging people its sad 😥 i am loving and nice.
We need to hear this song more than ever!
Messege to the whole world, in the end when it all comes down to it hate will not win so be on the side of love before it's too late, love ya India
Another Depeche Mode suggestions:
-Everything counts.
-Never let me down again.
-Behind the wheel.
-Policy of truth.
-Barrel of a gun.
You should be getting a lot of views on this today. we need this message now.
I remember when this song was first released here in the States. It didn't get a ton of radio play, but I knew it well. Then they re-released it and the radio discovered it and played the every living hell out of it. It was YEARS, if not decades, before I could listen to it again.

One of my favourite bands!
Fantastic song.
Love this song!
Depeche mode Dangerous
Really....The 27 deaf, dumb, blind, closed minded individuals who gave a thumbs down couldn't write, sing, orchestrate a song in a concert hall....SMH!
These guys are Genius with their talents, imagination and originality.
Hi folks,
I was s teenage boy when they relessed People are People.
This is one of those songs which gives the younger generation the way we felt during this decade- chears Dave/Martin/Andrew: YOU ARE DOING A FINE JOB
Thanx
hg ( we will rock you, percussion)
The Band and the music of my youth back in the 80ies! There could have never been a better music!
I Have Always Loved Ur Reactions
"DEH PESH mode, LOVE your hair...Love your channel...Sweet! Warm greetings from the EU!! Jules
"Why should we look at the past and define people by that?"
Sooooooooooo well said!!!
I didn’t think there was anyone on the planet, that didn’t know who these guy are. Amazing. Also amazing, is Oingo Boingo. And Tears for Fears (songs from the big chair) “Shout” and “Everybody wants to rule the world.”
Dee Pesh Mode.
Love them!
Amen!!! Preach on! I never understood the need for war.
Depeche is a French word translated to English means Dispatch. Many of their songs are about "Dispatching" stereo typically common thoughts about other cultures or ideals.
I was 17 and in high school in 1983 (yes I'm an old fart) so listen to your pappy :P
"Shake the Disease", "Walking in My Shoes", "Enjoy the Silence", "It's No Good" and a couple more are my favorites, of their's.
God made everyone with a clean slate. love one another as yourself, seems more relevant now than ever
lookin good today India! love this song.
I’m dancing girl ❤️love them !
The MasterPiece Song
That Says We Are All Equal
Love It
Love You Too

Amen and amen.
Oh this video brings me back to the early 80’s.
Depeche Mode a great synthpop band. It's french for "fast fashion" or the "latest fashion". Pronounced de pesh like in "session"
Love this song , hoped you'd like it. I love the timeless message.
My best band ;)
This lyrics tells about all our kind human reaction and action to each other. Not only colour etc.

thats my favorite song
I couldn't agree more. People live their lives too much in their EGOs! Let go of that Ego! Practice Defenselessness!
I love that you say that we're all one I taught my children to be colorblind and to judge people on their Merit not the color of their skin that's a quote from Martin Luther King jr. It's a good thing to stand by I'm telling you we would be friends me and you I always tell people just be yourself your real friends will be around and anybody else who cares
There was some great music that came out of the Punk Rock Revolution
Best Band still rocking
Based on this reaction, I wish I could meet you at the bar and hang out. We'd have a great time listening to music and finding the love in the world.
Just do all of Depeche Mode 101 and you'll be in love forever!!
Make sure you listen to more Depeche Mode. They are legendary. Will be inducted into the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame this year (if we all live through this pandemic).
Im glad black people are finally starting to listen to good music, great things will come out of this.

Seen this band live twice. Good alternative techno in 80's.
I was a kid but I remember them very well, classic electronic pop....with an edge. At the time I thought the 80s were crap but now I really appreciate that time, apart from the whole greed thing
" Personal Jesus "
It's hard to stay "nice" in this crappy world we've created, but I truly AM trying. Hugs to everybody else who STILL tries to embrace every soul they come in contact with... Peace!

Amazing song, incredibly talented band... Definitely underground- wwide die hard following, The Mode will sound great- any fng decade!
