This song is depeche mode at its best. You dont love depeche you love the Hits. Its ok. But Fans for long time, know that this is what the Band Are Realy wann to Do.

I lose myself in this song so deeply. For me as a devotee since 1984 it is a banger.

This is one of my favorite songs of DM; dark and melancholic, it has some black celebration vives. Definitely my favorite from this album.

Hands down the coolest song on the album! The Arena was on fire when this was played live.

One of the best songs in the album. It's not distortion, its Martin doing harmony along with Dave, there's a lot of songs when they do the same and the contrast between both voices make that kind of effect.

Nothing's Impossible...one of the most depressing (instrumentally) and positive (lyrically) songs, it is definitely in my top 10 songs by the band, and obviously it is not a hit like the Singles, but it does not seek to be one either, and the approach of This song with your effects perfectly manages to give it that melancholic aura, it is a song that can even be listened to to drown your sorrows. I personally love that guitar riff and the voices with those effects, Dave is the one who sings but in the choruses it's Dave and Martin together. I think it's an excellent song (as long as we see it from the atmosphere that was tried to be created for this song and how well done it is, the production is quite good like the entire album, and it is one of those songs like The Sinner in Me which have a very dark sound with distortions and guitars present, basically it is the sound of the album and gives it a lot of personality) I emphasize this because with the last 2 albums of the band (and the last one is also good at the level of this ) the sonic personality of making albums that have their own identity in terms of sound is being lost a little, or at least it is not as noticeable as before. (the most popular case would be Songs of Faith and Devotion which has its own sound totally different from other albums by the band

And the Guitar, so simple, so genius lines😍 This was exactly what DM Fans was waiting for years in those time😊🙏 Come on seph, hear it again, you will love it , you have to😂

I actually love this song. It's always on my DM playlists. I noticed that Dave's songs are my favourites in Playing the Angel.

You should listen to the demo version of this one, it's atmospheric and soft, it's on the deluxe version of Sounds of the Universe

Love this one, so dark, so depeche🥰😎 Thanks seph, made my day😃

DM is not a mainstream band. They don’t create radio compatible music. Their music is dark and weird, specially in the post-Alan-era. And this is good. To understand their albums you should hear it multiple times. A first time reaction is not the best way to discover and understand DM.

This is typical Depeche Mode First time it is sometimes not the best, but it will grow This song is one of the best on this Album and Playing the Angel is a very good Album

I recently heard this while listening to a playlist with all of DM's songs on shuffle I loved it instantly and then listened to it on loop for a few hours straight I LOVE IT

This song is wrote by Dave.... You must heard 3,4 time and you will see that song is top....

When you react to Rock am Ring concert 2006 one day, you'll hear the live version of this song (it's not included on the Live in Milan DVD). It sounded MUCH better live, no robots voice and much less distortions. Sounds like a completely different song live in fact. Gives some great goosebumbs. One of the best Dave written songs.

On the albums it’s pretty much just the three of them but when touring they have Christian Eigner on drums and Peter Gordeno on keyboards and sometimes bass guitar.

After Alan's departure, DM remained as a trio and with Andy's death they will remain as a duo. Christian and Peter, despite their years of supporting them as live musicians and writing some songs, will never be considered official members.

I love this song a lot... The atmosphere is so dark, yet the lyrics are very uplifting... ❤❤❤

This is one of the best songs on this album, everything about it. Peter Gordeno and Christian Eigner joined the band and have been writing with the Dave songs and in the latest album Memento Mori they were only part of writing and the technical programming of Dave's written only tracks, Peter does Keyboard and bass guitar and Eigner does the drums but really they are part of the live band not official members.

I did hate this song till i heard it live at "Rock am Ring". Please give that a try.

Depeche Mode is not only about accessible pop songs, you know… I have not much hope for you with the rest of this album, Seph… ;-) And the next one is - I hate to say it - an instrumental!! :-D

The lead vocal distortion effect only becomes more prominent as the albums start to blend together. It is present on practically every song by a certain album.

Here we go!

Hi Seph ! As other members suggested, maybe you should give a listen to the demo version of this song : I do prefer the general mood and the production on the demo track as well even though the final version is ok to me ^^. Maybe for a change, you could react to a Depeche Mode interview. There's a really cool one where you get to see a glimpse at the behind the scenes during the Songs of Faith & Devotion era called "A Conversation with Mr. Gambaccini " dating from 1993 with the 4 members. 😉 Some interesting moments captured on camera.

No estás abriendo la mente, como te dije hace bastante tiempo cuando llegaras a estos discos. A excepción de Ultra, la época post-Wilder, necesita de un enfoque distinto del análisis de las canciones, abrir la mente, hay canciones que necesitan varias escuchas y otras que con el tiempo se convierten en obras de arte, está es la típica canción oscura de Depeche Mode, y que forma también parte de su ADN y de su éxito. Gracias por volver Seph, se te echaba de menos. Pero te noto más crítico 😂😂😂

This song is a Banger to me.

The Lyrics are so positive. And on the other side the whole song sounds so sad...what a strange combination! Great song.

Personally i like this one, I enjoy the effect they put on Dave's voice , it isn't the first time they have, it is just the most noticeable one. It isnt like the auto tune that most singers use, goth and other electronic acts have used weird filters on the voice for songs for ages, it is just on how it is used for me on if i like it or not.The other members you are thinking of are a keyboardist and drummer , fans are mixed on how they feel about them,for myself i am not a fan, but thats me. This song and about the instrumental's I'll have to disagree with you on.

🖤One of my favorites from them. Underrated DM song, along with I Want It All.

seph, it will be increasingly difficult to make judgements, with the next albums, but you will have all my support!!!

Wow, I thank the algorithm I just found your channel. I can't wait to check your reaction to everything Depeche Mode! In regards to your opinion on this song, imagine how Dave's voice would sound if it wouldn't have the effect (which I think its effect + Martin voice). The song's music is pretty distorted, if the voices were not like that it wouldn't properly fit... Or at least I think so. Are you going in order, reacting to all songs? If so, you're about to reach to my absolute favourite DM song, The Darkest Star. That song was never played live, and not many people think about it, but to me is 🔥. Can't wait to hear what you think of it.

Its a good one ❤️

No it is not a new official fourth band member of Depeche Mode. Depeche at this point is officially Dave, Martin and Andy - until recently when it became just Dave and Martin. However, they brought in two new people for their live performances, a drummer and a keyboard player. They are not officially part of the band, although they regularly participate in all live performances and also contribute some songwriting etc. We quite often do roughly the same analyzes of their songs. Sometimes, however, opinions diverge, such as here. This kind of dark and bombastic songs, to which Nothing's impossible can be added, belongs to Depeche Mode's DNA. And missing on the previous softer launch bar influenced Exciter album. You can certainly almost hear that it is not a Martin-written song. - He is usually a bit more complex in his chord structure than this shows. But there were, and still are, many of us DM fans who like this dark and majestic song.

My favourite track on the album.

This wasn’t a song that was love at first sight (pun intended!), but the more I listened to it I love the contrast of the melancholy tune and the uplifting lyrics. When I’m feeling down, this song brightens my mood.

So dark, so DM.

I grew up with Depeche Mode, and my first concert was in Rimini, in 1986, and I had already been listening to them for three years, and growing up with their music, the same feeling that Seph felt in this video is the same as mine. , because this song like many of them in the 2000s are all different from how I knew them. And seph makes me understand that it's not about growing up with their music over the years that you have to understand them, but also listening to them for the first time today, that you understand that they were a particular, interesting, unique genre at the beginning of their career, certainly not today.

You must understand that Depeche Mode is not a pop band, even Alan in an interview said about this song that it is wonderful..

Lillian will have this effect as well! Next one is instrumental 😮 so maybe 2 in 1?

This may not be one of the best songs, but there are actually some really bad ones on other albums so I enjoy every song on this album now.

At this stage they had recruited Peter Gordino on keyboards to make up for having no Alan, and Christian Eigner on drums.

The best song by Dave imho.

Seph, You probably meant Barrel of a gun, it has that similar distortion too but it is often added to darker songs like Barrel of a gun, this one or Scum on album Spirit. Scum is super distorted but I love it. I dont mint this effect but trully understand you! 😊

The Demo version that was released later in 2009 it's awesome for me, you should check it outside youtube just for the joy

"Meh" is the correct way to describe it. 😀

Definitely not great on the first time hearing this but dose get better over time. Old people like me have a different approach to albums as once we paid for it we would make the most of it. 😂😂 these days people want an instant banger wich is why there is so much slop out there in the charts 😂😂😂

This is not Elwis Presley.

Seph.... How come you don't like this one! It's amazing! Please give it another chance, his voice IS in Harmony with Martin. The live version is GREAT, and the DEMO on the Sounds Of The Universe Deluxe is AMAZING, listen to the demo, give it another try. Also, is one night in Paris and Touring The Angel be reacted to?

MMMmmmmm **SPEECHLESS** on the comments. WOW! 🤨don't like it that much either (didn't love OR hate it either) and I L O V E them too Seph

Reacciona a las siguientes dos juntas, pues sigue una instrumental barata y luego una canción que tiene acordes de Helen Reddy

Yeah you need to check out the demo of this song. It’s better in my opinion

Vocals are just Dave and Mart, Fletch play the bass on A Pain That I'm Used to

You need to listen to the demo version. For me it’s a better take, however the uplifting lyrics mixed with the dark tones of the track are still perfect depeche mode fodder. If you get the band you should get this track - by far one of the better tracks on the album.

I think there's a good song in there trying to get out but just not quite managing it

Not my favorite version. I would recommend the demo version. It doesn't have the weird vocal effects. Dave sounds smooth and sexy.

This is one of Dave's songs that he wrote, with help. See, back in 2003 he came out with a solo album with songs that he wrote, with help, and it was actually pretty decent. So he thought he was the second coming of Dylan and now insists on having songs on DM albums. Usually he'll have one really good one and the rest are throwaway. This is one of the throwaways. Remember we warned you. Get through this album, the next one's much better.

demo version so much better

Dobi dub. A bit tired maybe?

Meh is absolutely correct! Needs Alans tweaking desperately...

Written by Dave. Lots of distortion. Not one of their best!

In my opinion it is no worse than "Precious".

Lyrics are a bit banal for me, nothing more then a good track.
