The Song Stuck In My Head: “I FEEL LOVED” by DEPECHE MODE (2001)

“It’s The Dark Night Of My Soul…

…And Temptation’s Taking Hold…

…But Through The Pain And The Suffering…

…Through The Heartache And Trembling…

…I FEEL LOVED…

…I FEEL LOVED. …“

<<<<<<<***>>>>>>>

The Song “I FEEL LOVED” Is Yet Another FAVE-Of-FAVES From The 2001 DEPECHE MODE Album “EXICTER” !!!

<<<<<<<***>>>>>>>

“…As The Darkness Closes In…

…In My Head I Hear Whispering…

…Questioning And Beckoning…

…But I’m Not Taken In…

…I FEEL LOVED…

…I FEEL LOVED. …“

While Out-&-About On My Morning Walk…

…I Listened To Many MANY Quality Jams…

…The Bulk Of Which I’ve Already Discussed With Y’all.

HOWEVER…

…This Song…

“I FEEL LOVED“

by DEPECHE MODE

…Was The Final Song Of The Walk…

…And The One Song That’s Been On The Ole Brain, Since.

I Knew I Hadn’t Blogged About It…

…And I Felt That Was Doing This Song A Serious Injustice.

“I FEEL LOVED“

…Is An Exceptional Little Number…

…And One Of My Faves From A Personal Favorite Album…

“EXCITER“

!!! !!!! !!!

I Sincerely LOVE The Lyrics…

…The Beat Of The Song Is VERY Catchy…

…And It Totally Brings Back Some Fond Memories From My Clubbing Days.

You See, My Peeps…

…The Dance Clubs USED To Allow Patrons To Bring In Some Of Their Music…

…And Getting It Played Only Depended On Your DJ For The Night.

In 2001 AND 2002…

…I Would Tote Around The “EXCITER” Album…

…In The Hopes Of Getting One Of Three Songs Played.

“DREAM ON“

&

“THE DEAD OF NIGHT“

…Were Two Said Three Songs.

The Third Was…

…Of Course…

“I FEEL LOVED“

!!! !!!! !!!

Some People May Scoff At The Thought Of Tipping A DJ $10 Just To Play Some Songs.

I…

…On The Other Hand…

…Never Had Any Issues With That Practice.

Whatever Money I Spent On Getting My Tunes Played Was Less Money Being Spent On The Booze-Choice Of The Night.

Trust Me, Kiddies…

…It Was A Totally Acceptable Trade-Off.

😉

ANYWAY…

…I Sincerely Hope Y’all Have A Damned Decent FRIDAY, Fo SHO!

Please Take Care…

…Be Good…

…See Me Soon…

…And…

…Talk To Me Sooner!!!

😀

Went For A Nice Walk On A Cloudy Day…

…But I, Of Course, Had Music IN HAND!

I Remember My 1ST WALKMAN…

…I Had To Wear A Belt If I Wanted To Tote It Around.

Then The DISCMAN Really Sucked…

…Since I Never Found One That Really Really Meant It When It Said “SKIP-RESISTANT” or “ANTI-SKIP” Right Under The Name.

Now…

…With My MP3Player…

…I’ve Found MY Holy Grail.

Goes Anywhere.

Holds So Much Stuff.

Has A Long-Livin’ Battery.

And A Reset-Button If It Ever Screws-Up.

It’s Become Priceless To Me.

Much More So Than A Mobile-Phone.

Or A Pad.

Or Anything Ultra-Fancy.

I Just Need Something That Stores My Music, And Allows Me To Access It WHENEVER I WANNA!

That’s It.

That’s The Holy Grail.

The Philosopher’s Stone.

The Big Mac.

The End Of The Line.

The Rest Has All Become Too Much.

We Reached Perfection As Far As I’m Concerned.

Did It A While Ago.

Now They’re Just Upgrading.

Expanding.

Giving Us More Of What We Don’t Really Need.

BUT…

…I Digress.

SOOO…

…I Went For A Nice Walk Earlier.

It’s Very Overcast Outside.

Keeps Looking Like A Helluva Storm Is Coming…

…Yet It Doesn’t.

Clinging Firmly To My MP3Player In One-Hand…

…And My Trusty Rubber-Ball In The Other…

…I Set Out On A Grand Excursion.

…This Song…

“THE DEAD OF NIGHT“

…Really Really Really…

…DOES FIT.

It’s A Song I’ve Loved Since Its Release In 2001…

…Whom Honestly LOVE It.

But…

…Since When Has That Fact Stopped Me From Loving ANYTHING?!?

EXACTLY, My Peeps!

It Sure As Hell HASN’T!!!

Not YET, Anyway.
