Ahhh yes. Thought this sounded like Depressed Mode. Haven't heard them in a while. Just never warmed to them. Popular here in Utah where Prozac use is one of highest in the nation.

I don't know... this song came out right after I got divorced from my son's mother, and I always thought it a very thoughful and hearfelt letter to a child from a recently-divorced parent...

I personally think the distorted guitar chords are a nice addition to the keyboard heavy band. Have always thought so.

Hmm, perhaps that's why I feel the same way when I see a good friend ferreting a mole?

1) So, is the ferret on synth?

2) With friends like this, who needs the internet.

3) Than the ferret says, "close the door idiot! I don't want the gerbil next door to get jealous."

4) To which I exclaim, "congratulations! You're now an official brother of Sigma Delta Tau."

5) Suddenly irate, I yell, "Is this your way of telling me I'm lousy in bed?"

...And the list goes on. Keep it going folks!

I agree - still...

..."DM" is less a band than it is "MARTIN GORE", who,
by the way - learned to play a pretty good guitar over the years!

"Playing the Angel, released on 17 October 2005, is the eleventh full-length album by Depeche Mode. It was supported by the Touring the Angel tour." - per our Wiki friends.

I had to look.  I would have guessed 80's as well.

LOL! I get the same feeling listening to the Goth electronica of DM as I used to get listening to Marc Almond and Soft Cell, namely a sense of guilt, sleaze, and self-torture. Which is not a bad thing, as I'm a big fan of DM. 8 from the Nottingham jury.

  Get the album, even if you only halfway like the band's classic sound. Best they've done in a decade.

An 8 on CD, an absolutely stellar 10 live in concert.  Their Chicagoland stop supporting this release is in my top 5 concerts of all time.  Excellent music, quality, production and showmanship.  And they managed to make the Allstate Arena sound superb (which is nearly impossible).

 
Agree! Caught them live twice during their last show, and I'm by no means a truly rabid fan; they tend to go to way more than that if they can! Madrid was truly spectacular - top 5 gig, for me, without a doubt.

I have thought for a long time that this song is written for Martin Gore's children (he and his wife got divorced last year)....what moving lyrics:

Angels with silver wings
Shouldn't know suffering
I wish I could take the pain for you
Any parent who's ever felt the excruciating and conflicted pain of hurting their kids through divorce probably get goosebumps and/or cry when they hear this.


 
I went to a whole new level of admiration for Depeche Mode when they wrote a song like this.

Yep. Nice groove, nothing too techno. They "sound" a bit more grown-up, yes?
