DM's catalog is so vast and varied... amazing that a simple piano ballad could sit alongside their electronic/industrial stuff so well. Interesting fact (confirmed by former member Alan Wilder) - Martin felt to be totally vulnerable and authentic in singing such a personal song, he needed to be naked when recording his vocals in-studio! Another great Martin ballad is "Blue Dress" - it wasn't a single so you'd have to do audio only, no music video.
It's been too long! This song and Question of Lust made me fall hard for Martin -- the song Home confirmed it for life! The voice of an angel. I hope you go and see them, I feel we need to seize these opportunities and it's a life altering experience! This time around heading to Vegas and Montreal to see them.
It’s interesting that Martin Gore has some songwriting likenesses and earnestness like Freddie Mercury, I never thought of it, but yes I agree. And Dave Gahan definitely has a stage presence like Freddie
I'm heading to Amsterdam and Antwerp from Australia in May to see the band. They don't come to Australia anymore so us devoted fans need to come to them. Looking forward to it!
@@ModeMan101 I suspect a couple of reasons. They have fans here but their albums don't really chart here anymore (although you and I both know they're now more of a 'legendary act' that has moved beyond concern on chart positions. Regardless, it has to be a commercial viable decision to tour. Additionally, I met Martin backstage in 2001 in Manchester and I asked him about coming to Australia again. Even then he said, 'I hate the three hour bus trip between London and Manchester', to which I replied, 'I'll take that as a no...'. Sadly, I really doubt we'll see them here again as the only one who seemed to be eager to ever come here was Fletch.
aka the song a lot of DM fans play at their wedding receptions 😄- not mine, even though my wife was a fan of DM when we met. But definitely an early example of how Martin's lyrics could be deeply emotional. It's a shame his voice isn't quite as smooth now as it was then, he has a harder time sustaining notes without resorting to vibrato.
Thank you for checking this out!! I know you did the Dave-led version of Only When I Lose Myself. I suggest the live of it Martin-led. The delivery done by each of them makes such a difference in the song, beautiful both ways. Here ya go if you get the chance: th-cam.com/video/mUQz98qEfUY/w-d-xo.html

Martin sounds like an angel, doesn't he!?

If you loved this one, A Question of Lust is another touching song with Martin singing.
Fragile, like a baby in your arms...too right mate
First time I heard it ...was speechless😭 ...such honesty...such beauty ...dont we all Marty ...dint wr all ...great reaction!!!!
Lovely love song x
'Home' is another great song Martin sings.
From Some Great Reward, this was my favorite song of all time for like 35 years!

Glad you loved it. One of a kind song!

I've never understood why they they haven't returned to the Asia-Pacific region to tour, considering how many fans they obviously do have there.

It's been a while... ;-) There's a fantastic live version of "Somebody" from the 101 concert at Rose Bowl Pasadena, too.
BTW, so glad your back !

I hope the new album has a song with Martin using "Eternal" style vocals!!
Listen to 'one caress', I feel it has the edge on this one musically
True
Watch Martin and Alan reunite and play SOMEBODY at the Royal Albert Concert hall...so many yrs after leaving DM
you are loved
plus the arena shows sound better because the sound is inclosed
Have you ever reacted to "one caress "? IF NOT, YOU HAVE TO!
❤
james!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh they used your favorite DM song in that show ...The Last of US
Thank you for checking this out!!

Allegedly Martin recorded this nude by candlelight - not an everyday occurrence you could say!
