d.notive - Vicious Lies (Depeche Mode Imitation)
What more can I say? I took it as a personal challenge to emulate my favorite band and single biggest influence: Depeche Mode. I started writing a song that sounded "Depechey" and decided to go all out, and try to make it sound "Depechey" as well. All things considered, with such a lofty goal, I think I did okay for myself, besides, this way I could finally make a song about Celestia (She's not all that she seems!).

LYRICS:
You've got no alibi
'cause everything you say is a lie.
You're gunning for half-past twelve
it's deeper into your mind we delve.
The older sister of one makes two,
but you say she's coming after you.
A little lie lets the story unfold
That little lie that keeps the story told.
A tall tale of ambition and power,
Luna's ruse is the one of the hour.
Your sister's mind has been bought and sold.
Now everypony thinks you're made of gold.
.. but what they don't know surely can't do harm.
It's better sounding Nightmare Moon's alarm.
A little lie sends her to the moon.
A little lie that gets discovered soon.
A little story, and you've got all the power.
'gone a thousand years with the tale of the hour!
You're telling vicious lies.
Your power knows no compromise.
You're telling vicious lies,
to be the savior in their eyes!
Nightmare Night descends upon the world.
Your web of lies and deceit unfurl.
With everypony looking to the sky,
never knowing that it's all a lie.
You send the elements to beat her down,
nevermind you're nowhere to be found.
Another lie only seals their fate.
For all time it's Nightmare Moon they hate.
A little story and you've got all the power.
Gone a thousand years with the tale of the hour!
You're telling vicious lies.
Your power knows no compromise.
You're telling vicious lies,
to be the savior in their eyes!
You're telling vicious lies.
Your power knows no compromise.
You're telling vicious lies,
to be the savior in their eyes!

To this day I find this song as the hidden gem of the fandom. The quality and style of this song was ahead of the time back then.
Loved the song on Soundcloud, love the song here as well! awesome job d.notive! Though hehe, this song doesn't remind me much of Depeche Mode but it's still an awesome track nonetheless :D
Just two comments in the last year? A real shame if this song has been forgotten, as it's a fantastic one in a style we don't see much of among all the dubstep and whatevercore these days.

There is the newer upload now too. Same as far as I know (as in not remastered or anything), just part of the uploads for the album it became part of.
I am 43 now and remember the beginning of Depeche Mode and had on vinyl the first album speak and spell, and so with this you nailed the Mode sound for sure. My favorite of yours so far is Second Chance which I heard here on youtube from the new wave retro channel. Great stuff :)
Y'know, I've always thought Celestia was a little off for being the ruler of the friendliest region on the planet. She seems to be omnipresent (I've even got a headcanon theory on it, but it's still kind of dicey due to the lack of consistent evidence. Both Magical Mystery Cure and Lesson Zero, even the opening part of Friendship is Magic Part 1, point to her being omnipresent, but eh) and almost trying to bury her past relations with Luna and even Nightmare Moon. She's always got me wondering "Is there more to her?" because, when you think about it, Celestia's got some things that she'd rather bury.
I heard this in a speedpaint I was watching, and I was like "this sounds exactly like Depeche Mode.." then I Iooked it up and I see in the thumbnail "Depeche Mode" and went "I KNEW IT!!" XD
Man, I love this so much. Like, it creates this eletric dome-like structure that acts as a forcefield, but tells you that someone out there is coming to break it, and it just digs its way into the deepest hole of paranoia in your brain, and just gives it steroids. So you sit there completely protected from the outside but still afraid of what's gonna happen.
I will apologize to the internet. I in no way hate "horse fuckers". I think you guys are pretty cool. This song is also pretty good. Bro whoove. Am I right.
I was trying to place your style as it was slipping my mind..then thought "You know..he sounds just like Depeche Mode..." And then this came on! You should do some DM covers!
You, sir, have mastered the 80s sound. Seriously. First Becoming Popular and After Hours With Rarity, and now this! I'm impressed.
Dude, i must say, you really captured that Depeche Mode atmosphere flawlessly! If i didn't know this was a pony song, i would've thought this was actually some un-released DM track. Please, keep up the good work! Can't wait to hear more! :D
it sounds like an old song love that :P
This does have a lot of that ''Depechey'' feel to it but really i think its something greater than just an imitation of their style. I've heard enough Depeche Mode to say that this is just as good, but in its own way. That is no small feat. Great work!
I like how this sounds like a fusion of Voltaire and Depeche Mode. Awesome!
I just discovered you. Where have you been all my life! Oh..right here.
Can´t wait for your next material, you rock!
I seriously need to check out more of your songs d.notive!
I'm adding this to my daily must-listen-to-every-day list!
Someday you guys will be the next artists I hear on the radio. Awesome work
Very well done d.notive!
This song makes epic headcanon. Very well-composed. Bravo, notive.
This isn't a fan-track. This is a damn song. A good damn song. The vocals are what remind me of Depeche Mode, and they are probably the best I have heard from this fandom! Keep music like this up, and you'll be able to make money bro!
you always make songs with great vocals, nice work on this.
Can't get enough of your epic voice.
For a second I even thought that it's Dave Gahan singing. This is extremely awesome, please create more music emulating Depeche Mode.
Just looked up some of Depeche Mode's songs, and they totally reminded me of your style, especially with the faux-80s synth sounds in this song. Great job!
Coming back to listen to this awesome song again, please do some more in this Depeche Mode style, it's unbelievably good!
this song is epic ty for makin this awsome song dnotive
This is AMAZING! You, sir, are Awesome! :D
Dude his voice is fucking beautiful. This song is amazing.
another great quality song keep it up
EXCELLENT
As a MASSIVE Depeche Mode Fan, I can definitely hear the DM essence in this
You're a freaking boss! I love your music :D
So much awesomeness
Awesome song! Thank you for sharing :D
I love it, you sir, have just gained yourself another subscriber
This is awesome. I love Depeche Mode and at first I thought this was a cover! That just goes to show how much talent you have.
This is amazing! d.notive has so many spots on my track list :D
This made me write a poem/song. Too bad my mic sucks and I don't have any computer-music making skills or programs to make it. Either way. Amazing song D.notive. You never cease to create rythms and words that hold our minds within a wrap or (possibly dark) beauty. Bravo. Bravo.
Sir, you just earned another subscriber. Never even heard your music till now...
DEFINITELY NAILED IT! Sounds like a track that could be right in Music for the Masses or Violator
Huge depeche mode fan, and you nailed it man!!!! Really sounds like them, and this is my favorite track by you. brohoof coming your way /)
Love that voice!:D
this reminds me so much of the 80's...thank you!
Really awesome, this is going straight to my iPod. I've only heard a couple of Depeche Mode songs but your voice sounds pretty "Depechey" to me.
Hot track, dude. You nailed the style.
Awesome song
You'd already earned yourself a place as my favorite brony musician (getting pretty high on my total list at that!), but this is just something else! Absolutely wonderful! Definite success in the DM attempt; very much grabbed a Music For the Masses / Violator sound. Thanks for another awesome track!
The song is amazing. The vocals are equally amazing. I really like your voice in this.
This really does remind me of Depeche Mode, which is awesome to me; I love their 80's era work, and while you chose to handle the 90's era sound I could still feel the familiar tones there. I'd say you did a really good job with this, and I love the story the lyrics tell.
why is this so awesome
The Depechey feel is greatly achived!
It's amazing what can give people inspiration.
You are an amazing singer, probably one of the best in the community O_O
Man, it's amazing :D
@dnotive Yes yes yes! A million times, yes! You totally nailed the Violator vibe! Violator is the only CD I have bought 3 times to replace as it has been damaged or stolen. That said, this song is going on my mp3 player.
EPIC SONG EVAR!!!!
Without a doubt, this is your best song yet. And I don't mean that lightly, I'm the guy that listened to only Hand for Hoof a week straight.
* So awesome!!!! *
Yay more d.notive!
You are awesome, good sir. 'Nuff said.
Very nice song
Depeche Mode rocks! And this is truly amazing! You do kind of sound like Dave lol. You just made my day :)
Damn this is awesome
Really Good
Very good muy bueno
Came here from the brony reaction video. I can't believe I've never heard of you before, but you've made a new section for my iPod. Keep up the great work.
good song!!!
It really does sound kinda like Depeche Mode! Well done.
@dnotive awesome song. I looked up band there's music is pretty good :). BTW I saw the bronies react I was laughing the whole time great job on that too. You sir have talent.
I've kind of been waiting to subscribe to you, but now its done :D
Because of this, I bought a Depeche Mode album today. I was not disappointed.
AHMAZING... ive said it all.
I am a huge DM-Fan. DM and MLP... You my dear sir made my day. And you got a great voice!
As someone born and raised with DM, I think you hit the nail on the head with this ponified emulation. Even if you hadn't mentioned who you drew from, to me the style and sound are clear. Great, great job! This is going straight to my mp3-player. :)
This is really good, my favorite version of the song :)
d.notive, I beg of you, MAKE MORE MUSIC LIKE THIS!!!
Cool
You're made of awesome dood ^_^ I played this track in Beat Hazard and it made for a rather good battle ^_^
I really like the Vocals, great song :)
GOD DAMN THIS IS EARGASMIC!
wow this is great! ;u;
as a depeche mode lover ... i also love you dude :D
You win all the internets. Forever.
Perfect funky beat, matched with your voice it makes this song so damn sexy, VERY nice.
As a Depeche Mode fan and a closet brony, I love this. Excellent job ^_^
Забавная поняшная смесь Dangerous и World in My Eyes, автору респект.
best song ever
@Hedtwister d.notive has been making music for over a decade. that should be enough of a reason why he's awesome
I've had this song downloaded for a while now, and I didn't know who the artist was (because my friend gave me the songs) but I love your song
@Foxhack Ahh, I see what you meant. In the music community, "sampling" implies recording a piece of something and reusing it, which isn't what I did. This was all from scratch. All the same, I'm sorry this wasn't exactly what you were expecting. I do legitimately appreciate the feedback, and thanks for listening!
THIS IS AMAZING! ENDURE MY ROYAL CANTERLOT VOICE!
I love this, and that's saying something because I usually hate anything to do with the whole "Tyrant Celestia" thing.
good bucking great!
ugh just like the best brony song like for serious good job matt
Sounds pretty good. /)
@TheLivingTombstone .. As a result, everyone will had a different idea in their head of what Depeche Mode "sounds like" or is "supposed to sound like." A lot of people, I feel, think of the pseudo-grungey mid-90's, more rock laden stuff they did, while still others remember the poppier, more new-wave-ish stuff from the early 80's. The late 80's saw them with a gothier, and more "lush" sound, whereas I chose to dedicate myself to the early 90's Violator-era sound. :)
wow
@dnotive Violator is my favorite DM album. good choice :)
