Dave has said that he sung this as if he was singing a lullaby to his baby daughter. It's a beautiful song that has brought me so much comfort. I'm so glad you liked it too!
I feel like your reaction to this album is going to make those of us who were a bit meh about exciter appreciate it more fully. Now you're definitely going to want to watch one night in Paris. Martin really comes into his own as a performer.
Exciter is when I realized DM had graduated. They were no longer at all pop. They had artistic freedom. Sure, I wish Alan could have been there with them. It wasn't meant to be. Depeche Mode is the story of Martin's song writing and Dave's vocals. Everything in between is just gravy.
I love the tender, vulnerable way Dave interprets this song. He sounds fantastic, and I was pretty impressed with his hitting those high notes. And yes, they played this live. This song was beautifully played at that One Night In Paris concert that was referenced earlier. 2001 was Martin's peak sexy-ness: teeth fixed, handsome face, hot body, fabulous hair, and his voice was absolutely gorgeous!
Excellent reaction Seph! I'm glad to hear someone listen to these albums with an open and honest mind. You're just sitting back enjoying the ride without unfair comparisons to the "Wilder" era. As someone who has listened to DM off and on most of my life and has been influenced by their music, I find it's easier to listen to post Alan DM albums with no expectations. Then we can truly listen with an open mind. I have found gems from ALL of their albums with that viewpoint. There are songs that speak to the heart on every album they ever made. As an overall album I think Exciter is one of there best post Alan works.
SEPH!!! WoW ... Yeah! This is ... Definitely ... Gorgeous... Beautiful... Ethereal! The Lyrics, the music and the singing. THIS IS a Diamond! I PROMISE Seph that YES, You WILL hear this live! It does sound Even Better Live (It's Possible)!! Dave, and Martin especially are in rare, magnificent form for this! Now, you definitely NEED to react to **ONE NIGHT IN PARIS** from October 2001. Stunning stuff man! ❤In Love with your reaction. 💜 I love that you LOVE the song which makes me love this song even more! As you can see, there are definitely glittering gems ahead for your aural pleasure my friend. There are a lot of precious jewels on All ahead, again, don't pay attention to the nay-sayers. So EXCITED for you that We're sharing this wonderful DM journey with you!! It's making me remember WHY I fell in love with them in the first place and LOVE them even more than I thought i could already!! Cheers friend!!!!
I find it's easier to listen to previous DM albums with no expectations. Then we can truly listen with an open mind. I have found gems from all of their albums with that viewpoint. I'm glad to hear someone find they under rated DM work and are "rediscovering" it! There are truly deep songs on every album they ever made. I think Exciter is one of there best post Alan works.
I've been smitten with DM since 1982. First we were told they would be a flash in the pan. Then, as if predicted by the music gods, sure enough their lead song writer and musician says, "F this, I'm out." Martin and Dave regrouped. They managed to put out an album on the cuff, and then up the anti and sign the legendary Alan Wilder. People forget. At that moment, DM could have brought in anybody. Anyone. They chose Alan Wilder. They knew he was gifted. Better yet, Alan and Dave became absolute best mates. It wasn't until the drugs. The drugs and the alcohol. But they survived. Everym album. Every song they put out after Songs of Faith & Devotion is bonus. Their Redemption Arch is half their story.
Such a tender and sad track... Seph you´re an angel as the same as Martin ;-) When Exciter was released I was 23 and I didn´t like this track so much... But as I go through life and became father of kids you´ve soften yourself, listen to your heart and soul and suddenly you realised, that your favourite songwriter wrote song about you 😀
If you're touched by this song, you better be prepared for Freelove. (As ppl mentioned before, you should react to both album version and video version aka Flood mix) 😊
I’m so glad to see that this song has been discovered and appreciated by others. I wonder how you came to decide to listen to it. It is not well known or listened to, expect by people like me ,die-hard fans.
Thank you again brother for your wonderful reaction, it's undoubtedly a BANGER!. Songs like this, Shine and Breathe are the reason Exciter is one of my top 5 DM albums. And as mentioned already, just wait until you're blown away by the One Night In Paris concert.
I'm glad you like this album, which was where the fans divided. But it has to be said as it is, this album is said to be the sensitive side of Depeche Mode and that's fine. DM will always reinvent itself
i love it when they sing with emotions. there are a few tracks where i‘m missing them, but with emotions, deep lyrics and a nice melody i‘m soo happy. i recently rediscovered spirit and i can’t wait when we will see seph reacting to it 😁
The R.E.M. song you might be thinking of is "Everybody Hurts". It has a similar slow tempo with a delicately picked clean guitar, and an introspective, emotive vocal. "Oh, I need your tenderness... oh, I need your touch... oh, I dream of one caress..."
This is one of my favourite songs of DM. I started to listen to them seriously 2 years ago, now I have every album on CD and I play them in chronological order in my old car. I watch every of your DM videos, I just have the rest of Exciter reactions left, and I must say that I love your videos!
Yeah they did this live and it's on the one they did for Video, Live in Paris, between Dream On and Waiting for the Night just before Martin's encore of two songs
I've not heard them play this live in the concerts I've been to (4 of them), but I agree they should. Would be a nice cooldown song for Dave's voice between more raucous songs.
They did live @Seph... There's actually an "Exciter Tour" official DVD. After reacting all Exciter album and its B-sides, you should react to their live tour named "One Night in Paris".
I must admit I'm quite enjoying this retrospective on one of my least favourite DM albums. The Body Speaks is nice. I'm a REM fan and trying to think of which one you mean. Are thinking of Airportman from Up by any chance?
Don't worry, there is a live version, this song is very good and what has always bothered me is the contrast with the next two, probably the two songs I like the least
This was my brother's favorite from this album. I love the strings and Martin's guitar. To my mind this is the first time the guitar was continuous throughout the whole song. Excitor is one last albums I love as a whole, and one of the reasons was the variety between songs. I call this their California chill LP. A lot of fans don't like it.
I thought I liked this song at first when the record came out. But with a little time and perspective, it didn't hold up, for me. After the time of the album's release, I basically never played it. Hearing it again now many years later maybe gives it a little boost, but I still think it's tough, uneventful and quite ordinary for its melody. This is thus not a Depeche mode booster for me - even though I belong to those who most appreciate Depeche mode's dark/depressing songs.
Yeah, that's clearly the best song from the DM album I liked the least. In fact, 20 years on, I only (occasionally) listen to this song and to "Freelove". "Goodnight Lovers" and "Comatose" are okay, but the rest of the tracks are pretty much skips for me.
Dave has said that he sung this as if he was singing a lullaby to his baby daughter. It's a beautiful song that has brought me so much comfort. I'm so glad you liked it too!

Now you're definitely going to want to watch one night in Paris. Martin really comes into his own as a performer.
oh my Goth! I was just about to recommend that concert! Seph, you gotta see it!
Exciter is when I realized DM had graduated. They were no longer at all pop.
They had artistic freedom. Sure, I wish Alan could have been there with them. It wasn't meant to be.
Depeche Mode is the story of Martin's song writing and Dave's vocals. Everything in between is just gravy.
You are approaching this moment to hear it live!!!! Excited! No pun intended.
I love the tender, vulnerable way Dave interprets this song. He sounds fantastic, and I was pretty impressed with his hitting those high notes. And yes, they played this live. This song was beautifully played at that One Night In Paris concert that was referenced earlier. 2001 was Martin's peak sexy-ness: teeth fixed, handsome face, hot body, fabulous hair, and his voice was absolutely gorgeous!
I really can't wait to see it 😊
Yes. They did it live, and it's beautifull 😊 Hold your horses, till you watch "One night in Paris". 😁❤️
When you finished this album jump right into "One night in Paris". "When the body speaks" is beautiful there.
For me, this is the best song on Exciter! Martin wrote a Lot about his desires of a woman over the years!

Fair play you made me smile my friend!! Thank you for this wonderful comment im not worthy!! 😀❤️
Yep...there are angels among us and Martin is definitely one of them...❤❤❤what a beautiful lullaby
I'm rediscovering this song right now. Very underrated album. Even by me.

wait for the live performance of Breathe in 2001, it's one of my favourite live performances
Goodnight lovers from this album touches my soul as this song did for you.
Great reaction again seph. I can't wait for your reaction to dead of night 😂😂😂could go either way. 😂😂😂
Dead of night is one of my least favorite DM songs. Not a fan.
Such a tender and sad track... Seph you´re an angel as the same as Martin ;-)
When Exciter was released I was 23 and I didn´t like this track so much...
But as I go through life and became father of kids you´ve soften yourself, listen to your heart and soul and suddenly you realised, that your favourite songwriter wrote song about you 😀
En vivo esta cancion es espectacular, hay una complicidad entre Dave y Martin, cantando espalda con espalda, brutal
el mejor tema del exciter cuando el cuerpo habla es perfecta saludos from Lima Peru my dear Seph
Super Depeche Mode Reaction.👏
If you're touched by this song, you better be prepared for Freelove. (As ppl mentioned before, you should react to both album version and video version aka Flood mix) 😊
I’m so glad to see that this song has been discovered and appreciated by others. I wonder how you came to decide to listen to it. It is not well known or listened to, expect by people like me ,die-hard fans.
Love this track. Such a beatiful calm one.
Thank you again brother for your wonderful reaction, it's undoubtedly a BANGER!. Songs like this, Shine and Breathe are the reason Exciter is one of my top 5 DM albums. And as mentioned already, just wait until you're blown away by the One Night In Paris concert.
Such real emotion in this track! Underrated album for sure. Great to see your reaction and hear your feedback! Cheers!
the live version from paris, 2001 slaps even harder
This one is definitely a contender for my favorite DM song, as you mentioned it touches your soul from the very first listen.
I'm glad you like this album, which was where the fans divided. But it has to be said as it is, this album is said to be the sensitive side of Depeche Mode and that's fine. DM will always reinvent itself
i love it when they sing with emotions. there are a few tracks where i‘m missing them, but with emotions, deep lyrics and a nice melody i‘m soo happy. i recently rediscovered spirit and i can’t wait when we will see seph reacting to it 😁
Love ❤️🖤 Daves voice on this! Literally like being sung a Lullaby!😇🤪😍
Should be included on Calm App! 😆
I have said, this is the best on Exciter and they played it live on the Exciter Tour. It was fantastic....
The R.E.M. song you might be thinking of is "Everybody Hurts". It has a similar slow tempo with a delicately picked clean guitar, and an introspective, emotive vocal.
"Oh, I need your tenderness... oh, I need your touch... oh, I dream of one caress..."
One Night in Paris is a great concert, you gotta watch once you finish the album.
check out live in Paris, they do this track and its so beautifully done
This is one of my favourite songs of DM.
I started to listen to them seriously 2 years ago, now I have every album on CD and I play them in chronological order in my old car.
I watch every of your DM videos, I just have the rest of Exciter reactions left, and I must say that I love your videos!
And also, you must watch One night in Paris, it's the exciter tour, they play this live and other great songs, amazing crowd too
At the end of this album go to ONE NIGHT IN PARIS. The live version of EXCITER
I love the way you find some DM really good and some tunes not so much. It’s an honest opinion which is cool.
lovely song. The live version can be found on the Exciter tour dvd. It's good. Very Good.
Esta canción es espectacular
When The Body Speaks is one of my favorite songs on Exciter. Goose flash.
They did it live on the exciter tour😀
This is the best song and Freelove from this album❤😊
Yeah they did this live and it's on the one they did for Video, Live in Paris, between Dream On and Waiting for the Night just before Martin's encore of two songs
Live in Paris... ❤
One of my fav songs from Exciter
I forgot how much I liked this song.
By the way, One Night In Paris is a live Exciter tour concert produced by Anton Corbijn and it is AMAZING you should include it in your reactions!
A great song.
Yeah - Live version is coming to you! Exciter tour! Better watch it! 😂
I see what you mean with it sounding like REM. Were you thinking of The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite? One of the notes Dave sang reminded me of that one.
Yes they do it live.. And its fantastic.. You look surprised by DM standards??? They are the best
I remember it was my best song on the album
I've not heard them play this live in the concerts I've been to (4 of them), but I agree they should. Would be a nice cooldown song for Dave's voice between more raucous songs.

The live versión is beautiful
The live version was even better!
Don't worry, there is a live version, this song is very good and what has always bothered me is the contrast with the next two, probably the two songs I like the least
Be prepared to be shocked for the next song. Unique DM song but rather good after some listenings
Do the live version next. Strike while the iron is hot! ❤
This was my brother's favorite from this album. I love the strings and Martin's guitar. To my mind this is the first time the guitar was continuous throughout the whole song. Excitor is one last albums I love as a whole, and one of the reasons was the variety between songs. I call this their California chill LP. A lot of fans don't like it.
Honestly quite shocking you really liked this one tbh, it’s one of their more underrated songs
I really thought i had heard their best songs already.... But this has now made me question what i *Thought* i had figured out haha
@@SephPlays there is some great tracks to come, both on these album and on the later ones
The live version is even better
Hy there, live versión UNBELIVEBEL,,,,,
they did it live 2001
Everything DM is on my list 📃:D
The Exciter tour had Dave into his best vocally speaking. I personally rank this tour right next to Devotional.
They also did it live in 2009, sung by Martin. This version was even more beautiful than the 2001 live version!
@@Simon-fl1tl oh my Goth, I loved when Martin sang this!
pls watch live version in Paris 2001!
Its a hiden gem!
very much influenced by the chill out tunes of the time
F r e e l o v e will probably will touch you deeper ❤😊
I'm really curious about your reaction for the next song on this album.....all i can say is, it's quite a contrast from this song......
I thought I liked this song at first when the record came out. But with a little time and perspective, it didn't hold up, for me. After the time of the album's release, I basically never played it.
Hearing it again now many years later maybe gives it a little boost, but I still think it's tough, uneventful and quite ordinary for its melody.
This is thus not a Depeche mode booster for me - even though I belong to those who most appreciate Depeche mode's dark/depressing songs.
REM Losing my religion? 3:00
Yeah, that's clearly the best song from the DM album I liked the least. In fact, 20 years on, I only (occasionally) listen to this song and to "Freelove". "Goodnight Lovers" and "Comatose" are okay, but the rest of the tracks are pretty much skips for me.
