((From The Song JUDAS (1993)))

SongsOfFaithAndDevotionRemastered (via Wikipedia)

JUDAS Is Just A Personal Favorite Jam From DEPECHE MODE That Just Happened To Pop-On During My Morning Walk! It’s Not The Best Song On The Album, SONGS OF FAITH AND DEVOTION, But There Truly Isn’t A Bad Song On The Entire Album. Period. πŸ˜€

The Musical Highlight Of My Walk-About: “MERCY IN YOU” by DEPECHE MODE (1993)

You Know What I Need

When My Heart Bleeds

I Suffer From Greed

A Longing To Feed

On The MERCY IN YOU…”

… … …

I Was Actually Listening To The LIVE-Version OfMERCY IN YOUFrom The 1993 AlbumSONGS OF FAITH AND DEVOTION (LIVE)” By DEPECHE MODE !!!

… … …

“…I Can’t Conceal

The Way I’m Healed

The Pleasure I Feel

When I Have To Deal

With The MERCY IN YOU…”

… … …

DEPECHE MODE‘s StudioVersion OfMERCY IN YOU Is Also Rather Exceptional, But I Don’t Love It Quite As Much As The LIVE-Version. Still, The AlbumSONGS OF FAITH AND DEVOTIONRemains A Personal Fave-Fave !!!

… … …

“…I Would Do It All Again

Lose My Way And Fall Again

Just So I Could Call Again

On The MERCY IN YOU. …”

Well, My Peeps…

…I Had The Ole MP3Player Churning-Out A Random Mix Of My Favorites When It Popped Onto This Little Number…

MERCY IN YOU

by DEPECHE MODE

…And I Noticed An Almost Immediate Change.

I Had Been Lolly-Gaggin’ About.

Just A Cruise-Mode Of A Walk.

Just A Quick Stretch Of The Legs, Ya Know?!

But Then…

MERCY IN YOU

…Started Playing.

And I Suppose You Could Say I Got A Little Into It.

All Of A Sudden, I Started Picking-Up-The-Pace.

MERCY IN YOU

…Is One Of My Favorite Jams…

…Yes…

…But It’s One I Hadn’t Heard In A Long While.

I Suppose My Player Had Been Holding Back With It.

Just Waiting Waiting Waiting For The Moment To Whip-It-Out-There.

Today, Said Moment Arrived.

Very Cool Beans, My Peeps.

I Don’t Know Why It Kicked Me Into A Higher Gear…

…But It Did.

And I Ain’t Gonna Scoff At That.

I’ll Take Motivation Any Way I Can Get It.

Today, It Was This Song.

Neato, Eh!?!

SURE IS!!!

MERCY IN YOU

…Is A Rather Catchy Little Number, Fo SHO.

I Ended-Up Listening To It THREE (3) TIMES During My Walk-About.

Why Not, Eh!?!

Why Not, Indeed!!!

πŸ˜€

Hope Y’all Are Having A Decent Day.

It’s FRIDAY, So That’s VERY Neato!!!

I’m Sure Y’all Are Ready For The Weekend.

Well…

…Those Of You Who Aren’t Working, That Is.

But I Will Be.

I’ll Be Right Here.

Plugging Away.

Doin’ My Thang.

Aren’t You Just Lucky!?!

YOU BETCHA!!!

Just An Amazing Song: “IN YOUR ROOM” by DEPECHE MODE (1993)

IN YOUR ROOM

Where Time Stands Still

Or Moves At Your Will

Will You Let The Morning Come Soon?

Or Will You Leave Me Lying Here?

Your Favorite Darkness

Your Favorite Half-Light

Your Favorite Consciousness

Your Favorite Slave…”

I Awoke This Morning Not Feeling Very Well.

A Bad Headache, For Starters…

…But Also The Tremor In My Right Hand/Arm Was Rather Heavily Pronounced.

I HATE Feeling Bad, As My Body Doesn’t Know How To Do Anything Half-Assed.

When It Feels Bad, By Golly GeeΒ Jiminy It Feels BAD.

😦

Sooo…

…I Decided To Try And Get A Little Work Done Here.

It Helps Take My Mind Off Of How I Feel.

It Gives Me Something To Focus On.

And So, Here I Am.

Writing To Y’all.

So…

…What’sΒ The Reason Behind My Selecting This Particular Song?

…Hmm…

…Well…

…Because…

IN YOUR ROOM

by DEPECHE MODE

…Truly Is An AMAZING Song.

I’m Listening To It As I Type This.

I’ve Been Listening To This Album…

SONGS OF FAITH AND DEVOTION

…Since Just After I Awoke.

Β Now…

…I Know…

…How Can A Song Like This Be Helpful At 4:30 In The A.M.?!

Honestly…

…As Dark As The Song Can Be…

…It Puts Me In A Much Better Frame Of Mind…

…And Therefore…

…It Makes Me Smile.

πŸ™‚

/\

||

||

See…

…I’m Smiling.

Told Ya So.

πŸ˜›

But How Can This Song Make Me Smile?

Well…

…Have You Ever Bothered To Listen To It?!

Some Of You Can Easily Shout-Out…

“YES!”

…And That’s Very Cool Beans By Me.

A Lot Of You…

…However…

…Would Have To Say…

“NOPE, SURE HAVEN’T!”

…And It Sincerely Is Your Loss.

“IN YOUR ROOM”

…Is Arguably The BEST SONG On The Entire Album.

Granted…

I FEEL YOU

…Is The Song That Got (and still gets) More Air Time…

…BUT…

IN YOUR ROOM

…To ME…

…Is VASTLY SUPERIOR To…

I FEEL YOU

…In So Many Ways.

.Period.

This Album Came-Out When I Was Just 13-Years-Old.

But I Was Rather Taken With It Even Then.

At That Point…

…I Admit…

I FEEL YOU

…Was The Big Song On The Album…

…And I Went Right Along With It.

BUT…

…As I Aged…

…I Became More Enamored With Other Songs On Said Album.

WALKING IN MY SHOES

&

CONDEMNATION

&

RUSH

&

GET RIGHT WITH ME

…All Of Which Are Wonderful Songs That I Sincerely Love.

Thing Is…

…I Love EVERY SONG On The Album.

It’s One Of Those VERY Rare Instances Where The Entire Album Speaks To One Part Of Me, Or Another.

And This Morning…

…I’m Simply Highlighting The Track That I Think Is Likely…

THE BEST

!!! !!! !!!

Is It Also…

MY FAVORITE

??? ???

Hmm.

If It’s Not, I’m Not Sure Which Track Is.

IN YOUR ROOM

…Is A Truly Beautiful Song…

…And One That’s Hard To Stop Listening To Once You’ve Started.

The Lyrics.

The Pace And Rhythm.

DAVE GAHAN’s Voice.

Amazing.

Simply Amazing.

This Song Reminds Me Of A Much Different Time In My Life…

…When Things Were Crazy And Confusing.

It’s A Song Tied To Many Memories Of Those Crazy Teenage Years.

How I Survived Remains A Mystery To All, That’s Fo DAMN SHO!

And Since I Can’t Sleep…

…I’m Sharing A Part Of Myself With Y’all.

I’m Not Going To Get Into The History Of My Teenage Years…

…Mainly Because Y’all Already Went Through Your Crazy Teenage Years…

…Or You’re Going Through Them Now.

All I Can Say Is…

“THANK JEEBUS THEY’RE OVER!”

.Period Period.

πŸ˜‰

Please, My Peeps…

…If There’s ONE SONG…

…ONE SONG From ALL THE SONGS We’ve Talked About…

…I’d Suggest THIS SONG To You For The Purpose Of Giving It The Ole Once-Over.

IN YOUR ROOM

…Is One Of The Great Songs Of ALL-TIME.

It’s A Personal Favorite…

…And It’s A Song I Think A Lot Of You Would Lap-Up Like Mad.

PLEASE…

…Give It Go, Kiddies.

You Shant Be Disappointed.

At Least, I Hope You Shant.

If You Trust Me At All When It Comes To This Sort Of Thing…

…Then I Can Promise Promise PROMISE This Song Is Totally Worth Checking-Out.

πŸ˜€

I Sincerely Hope Y’all Have A Decent Day.

I’m Going To Try To.

I May Not Succeed…

…But I’ll Be Trying, Dammit!!!

The Song Stuck In My Head: “ONE CARESS” by DEPECHE MODE (1993)

*** *** ***

“…I’m Shying From The Light

I Always Loved The Night

And Now You Offer Me

Eternal Darkness. …”

*** *** ***

*** *** ***

“…I Have To Believe That Sin

Can Make A Better Man

It’s The Mood That I Am In

That’s Left Us Back Where We Began. …”

*** *** ***

*** *** ***

“…Oh Girl

Lead Me Into Your Darkness

When This World Is Trying It’s Hardest

To Leave Me Unimpressed

Just One Caress

From You And I’m Blessed. …”

*** *** ***

πŸ˜€

I Put On My MP3Player…

…Headed Out The Door On My Morning Walk…

…And This Song…

ONE CARESS

by

DEPECHE MODE

…Was Already Waiting For Me.

I Think I Played It FOUR TIMES During Said Morning Walk.

I Played BOTH The Studio Version AND The Live Version.

It Didn’t Matter To Me.

I Just Wanted To Hear It…

…And Again…

…And Again…

…And Again.

I Was Going To Do A Morning Mix…

…But All I Did Was Listen To The Whole Albums Of…

SONGS OF FAITH AND DEVOTION

…And…

SONGS OF FAITH AND DEVOTION: LIVE

…All The Way Through.

But Why The Song…

ONE CARESS

…Out Of All The Brilliant Songs On The Albums?!

Why Did This One Song Stick With Me Today?!

I’m Sort Of Unsure, Actually.

I Don’t Wanna Say…

“Because It’s The First Song I’d Heard Today.”

That Could Be It, I Dunno.

It’s The Simplest Answer.

But As DEPECHE MODE Question In Another Song On The Album…

"Is Simplicity Best Or, Simply, The Easiest?"

??? ???

That’s A Damned Good Question, Actually.

What Do YOU Think, Kiddies?!?

I’m A Touch Curious, To Say The Least.

ONE CARESS

…Is A Wonderful Song…

…And It’s Actually Paced Pretty Well For Walking Purposes.

It Kept Me Going Out There.

6AM And Already 80-Degrees Outside, But Feels Like 90?!

Yeah.

I Was Tired And Sweatin’ Hard By The End Of My Little Tour Of The Town…

…But, Once Again, Great Tunage Comes Through In The Clutch.

You Can’t Knock Great Tunage.

It’ll Come Through In The Clutch Many More Times Than Not.

That’s Good Enough For Me.

Is It Good Enough For YOU?!

Again…

…I’m A Touch Curious.

πŸ˜‰

Please Have A Great Friday, My Peeps…

…And An Even Greater’ish Weekend!!!

“I Will Have Faith… In Man… That Is Hard To… Understand… Show Some Humility… You Have The Ability… Get Right With Me. …” — DEPECHE MODE (“Get Right With Me” (1993))

…Friends…

DEPECHE MODE: The Devotional Tour: 1993

…Is Such A Short Thing…

…That I Cannot Comprehend…

…But If This Life…

…Were A Bought Thing…

…There Are Ways I Know We’d Mend. …

"GET RIGHT WITH ME" Is Off DEPECHE MODE's 1993 Album "SONGS Of FAITH And DEVOTION"

…PEOPLE…

…TAKE MY ADVICE…

…Already Told You Once…

…Once Or Twice…

…DON’T WASTE YOUR ENERGY…

…MAKING APOLOGIES…

Get Right With Me.

*** *** *** *** ***

Of ALL THE SONGS…

…In My VASTLY VAST COLLECTION…

…THIS SONG…

GET RIGHT WITH ME

By

DEPECHE MODE

…Has Been TRAPPED IN MY BRAIN…

…And It’s ON REPEAT!!!

Granted…

…I Do Do DO LOVE THIS SONG…

…But…

…That Honestly Doesn’t Explain To Me…

…Exactly…

…WHY WHY WHY…

…It’s THIS Song…

…TODAY…

…At THIS Time.

.PERIOD.

I Ain’t Gonna Knock It…

…But That Doesn’t Mean I’m NOT Curious.

I Enjoy Knowing The Reason WHY Something Is As It Is.

I’ve ALWAYS Had A VERY Curious Nature…

…And I Sincerely HATE Surprises.

It Can Be A Wondrous Combination Sometimes…

…And…

…A Total HELL At Other-Times.

Right Now…

…Eh…

…I Suppose It’s Favoring The Middle.

I’m Curious…

…But Doubtful Any Real Surprises Are Interlinked.

Shall I Prove Correct???

Sheesh…

…I Sure HOPE So.

For My Sake…

…AND YOURS!!!

Enjoy The Day, My Peeps.

I’m Doin’ What I Can To Do The Same.

PEACE

LOVE

…And…

AXLE-GREASE
