This band actually delivered "the soundtrack of my life" and I know lot's of others who feel the same! 🖤

I saw Depeche Mode a couple of weeks ago in Birmingham (not much surfing going on), and they absolutely blew me away. Brilliant band, cracking setlist. Everything was spot-on, and I wouldn't hesitate to go and see them again.

Love them or hate them you can't take it away from them brilliant live band put a great show on

I saw them in Amsterdam last night… and he did, Dave Gahan, do pirouettes… only in a vest this time. They were absolutely brilliant!

I wish every child can have a band for most of their lives. Mine is DM. I feel loved.

Theres not many bands that stick around that long, even fewer that continue to release new material. The first band I saw play live was Pendragon and they're still releasing fantastic material today. Rush, Marillion, IQ, Bad Religion, Rancid, Gun and Magnum all had or have extraordinary longevity.

Depeche Mode are one of the greatest bands ever to take the stage, Dave’s vocals & Martin’s music & songwriting skills are second to none. There is a reason I’ve flown from Australia to Europe to see them 3 times

So what’s the reason?

Dave Gahan is a great front man. I have been a DM fan for forty years. Where does the time go?! Love that they are still putting out such wonderful material.

Aren’t we all just the luckiest people in the world just to be alive during the whole Depeche Mode era?! Like seriously think about that for a moment! If we were born a 100 years earlier we never would have gotten to experience one of the greatest bands ever! When I was 17 I never wished for something so hard in my life before! What was my wish? That I could magically turn into Dave’s microphone stand during the Live 101 VHS tape! ❤😂⭐️🤘🏻🎹🎸🎤

I caught them this tour at Madison Square garden and it was so electric. The energy in that building was just incredible.

As someone who bought Dreaming of Me, when it was released ! I’m dead chuffed that they can still produce quality work like this all these years later. Good work Mr H.

Saw them last week in Manchester. Dave and Martin still have it. And this album Memento Mori is probably their strongest album since Songs of Faith and Devotion. Before we Drown is my favourite track on the album. Such a powerful song.

Saw them in London recently. Was on my bucket list for ages, and I didn’t regret it. They were ace

I got dragged along by wife to the O2 gig somewhat reluctantly and was absolutely blown away. New stuff slotted in seamlessly with the classics. Was surprised by how amazing Martin’s voice is as well. Up there with best gigs ever

Saw them last week for the first time in Dublin and have deep regrets not seeing them earlier

Memento Mori is a fantastic album, & Before We Drown is definitely a highlight. I always love Anton's work with DM. No need to apologise for the audio/video quality either - it's cool to get an insight into life on the road!

I managed to get a ticket for Manchester 29th jan (at 2am-just before they sold out) took myself for my 50th birthday, that day (old lol) and they WERE AWESOME! Don't doubt, folks, go see your fave bands while you can 😍

I loved Depeche Mode's music in the 80's and I like their new stuff now. Gahan's voice gives me fervent 80's nostalgia.

Depeche Mode and the Darkness. My favorites of all time. Shout out to Philly. First time seeing DM at the Spectrum, Devotional tour early 90’s. I lost my voice. First time seeing the Darkness in Philly 2004. Lost my voice. Justin. I love that you love DM and cover their music.

I count myself fortunate that I was able to see them at their height in ‘89. Such an achievement for an “electronic” band to be so good live. Gahan is one of the best front men ever. Momento Mori is their best work in 20 years. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Great video!

Songs of faith and devotion is one of my top ten albums of all time , the depth of emotion is what sets the entire album start to finish ❤🎶

I've been a Depeche Mode fan since the early 80s. Although I mainly listen to Metal Core, Death Metal and the ilk today. D.M will always be my favourite band of all time...

I've been a DM fan since New Life. I had the pleasure of seeing them on the Devotional tour, three times, when as a band they were at their very peak, and Dave was a rock god. It blew me away. I saw them again the other week in Glasgow, 30 years on. Obviously, it's a different set-up now, with them being a duo. They were still bloody brilliant, Dave still as limber as ever, and still with a fair amount of power in his voice. This particular track is epic live, it just takes you away with it

Love this song. Best track of a strong record. Love the bit at the end when Martin's voice comes in. Wasn't impressed with Spirit, but I've been listening to Memento Mori a lot. I have seen them many times live and the very first concert I was allowed to go to as a teen was DM in 1983. I've been a lifelong fan since. Just a shame they didn't come to Cardiff this time.I would have loved to seen them. Last time I have seen them when they toured the Exciter album and that was in Hamburg in the soaking rain.

7th time seeing them on this tour in Dublin last weekend and they are truly enjoying themselves and look so happy. All of that comes across in their performances even more so since their December break.

I was at the Dublin show last week aswell. Incredible night. The new material sounded amazing live, more energetic, atmospheric. And yes indeed, the lads really looked like they were having a brilliant time up there. Magnificent show! 👍

They have had some troublesome journey..drugs and alchohol issues..but they are still here and I thanx god everyday for that 😊..They are just so different a band and still is to this day!!😊..nice review..

Off to see them yet again. Seventh time in a year and still not enough!!! 🥰🥰

Probably the best band I’ve seen live.

Twickenham stadium last June 23. 80k fans and this tour is massive, if it's their last I'm certain they'll be missed. Wish they were the original 4sum and toured UK more often, but also think the new guys are good.

Seen DM 3 times live, an incredible live band, an incredible band full stop. Dave Gahan is the most charismatic frontman you are likely to see, i remember the Mtv reports (when Mtv was a watachable channel) that he might have died back in the mid 90s and was so sad that day...now 25 years+ later he his still as amazing as ever. Also RIP Fletch

One of the best songs on the new album. It's stunning that 43 years after their debut, they are still creating such gems.

Took my husband to see them in London recently, he’s had to listen to them for years, courtesy of my devotion to DM. He was absolutely blown away, as was I. I’ve even caught him listening to some of MM album without me. I really hope that G and G continue with DM. I’ve been listening to them since Ultra, as I am a 90s kid. Their music has got me through some really tough times when my mother died and I was a lost soul. This song is amazing, I love it. It reminds me we have to keep going and persevering even when it seems too much.

Best and most influential band around...they are amazing live too.

Saw them last weekend at the 3arena, in Dublin... Needless to say, they were MAGNIFICENT 😮😍

Been a DM fan since 1984, haven’t missed a tour since 1988, and met my now husband of 22 years on their website message board in 1998. Just celebrated our 22nd anniversary at their Detroit show last November. Dave IS the best front man ever! And this is my favorite track on Memento Mori. Gorgeous video too!

As an old man that is trying to learn to play guitar, I am fascinated by your dissection of songs and the "ear" that you have. I don't understand the terminology, but I love it all! Maybe one day I'll understand the language of music. Pray for me!

I think this is Gahans masterpiece ...he wrote this one❤ I love MM and saw em twice in this last tour...loved them live...I see em every tour since 93 devotional been a fan since speak n spell. They still got it! But do miss Alan❤and SOFAD is my favorite album

Great reaction to a rare gem of a tune. This is Mode's finest single for me since 1997's 'It's No Good'. Powerful and haunting.

Well, I DID hear this song live, only last night in Amsterdam and it was impressive. But then again, so was the whole of the set. And Daven Gahan didn't forget to come in at all, so that's nice! He is indeed one of the greatest frontmen around. Can I mention Martin Gore's voice? Haunting in the background or - forgive me for only noticing now - as a damn fine lead vocal

My wife and I saw them in Dallas last fall and they haven't missed a step. They're as good live as you could hope. ❤

I e been loving Depeche Mode since the ‘83 My favourite album - songs of faith and devotion.

25 and love electronic music, Kraftwerk, Boards of Canada, Aphex Twin, Autechre, Jean Michel Jarre, Eno, and of course Depeche Mode, got to see them at Twickenham last year, my Mum insisted on taking the car and not the train down from the Midlands, so we had a nightmare driving into London to get to our hotel. The chaos was worth it though, after seeing Jeff Wayne’s The War of the Worlds live back in 2018 for my 20th bday, it was the best concert bar none I’ve been to. Nothing has quite beaten the sight of thousands of arms going side to side during Never Let Me Down Again.

DM are great I first saw them in 1986 at expo 86 in Vancouver in a 5000 seat out door venue 😮and then saw and met The Cure all the fans looked like the band they were just standing there out of the front gate 😮 love the eighties 😊

Best concerts ever from 1984-1990. What a party!!!

The chord change to the parallel key at 3:40 is very reminiscent of the similar change at the “words like violence / break the silence” point in their old song “enjoy the silence”

I had the pleasure to see them live a few months ago. It's definitely one of the best performances I've seen.

Depeche Mode are one of the few bands that I liked better in the 1990s than in the 1980s, so... we'll see what this is like then.

The best live snare sound I’ve ever heard.

I like the recent rough and ready videos. No bells and whistles required 👍

First saw DM in 1982...have been a die hard fan throughout my life. This review brings me joy 💜🖤💜🖤

having lived with this track for nearly a year, since the album release - it is such a grower. wasn’t that mad on it at first , but now it’s a total highlight. SO moody. DM are the soundtrack to my life. saw them live in London recently - they didn’t play it, but then started to a few gigs later! gutted 😂

Love DM! Thanks for doing these while on the road. If I could just have some of your energy….You amaze me😻

Just seen 3 dates on this tour in UK. Absolutely phenomenal. Birmingham was the highlight.

Thanks for covering this great song. Depeche Mode is such an amazing group. Looking forward to seeing them two more times live in Germany very soon! I think the album as well as the tour are their strongest in quite a while.

Before We Drown is one of two exceptional songs on an album full of superb songs,. for my taste their best since Violator. The instrumental "we drown" playout is very powerful.I can never listen to this song once. I have to go again, usually twice. :-)

Saw DM live with Young Fathers opening - what a great show. Depeche Mode seem truly invigorated. Brilliant live, as always.

100% agree that its one of the strongest songs they have done for a while. Songs of Faith & Devotion is in my all time top 10 albums, not least because of saw them at Crystal Palace at the time as an 18 year old. Never got the credit they deserve and Dave Gahan is a fantastic front man.

In Your Room is a song that has everything. Atmosphere. Storytelling. The human condition in all its twisted tenderness.

I was lucky enough to see them in Twickenham and Rome last year. Simply amazing.

Nice clip Justin! I saw them may 23 in Antwerp, and last week again. Last year i went last minute because i didn't feel like campin or hanging out with my friends outdoor. I wanted to do st on my own, i got me a second hand ticket and got blown away, alone and again. I've been a huge fan of their work over the years, and images from corbyn to off course. But your review is just completely how i felt the last half year. What a great band, and also the lyrics on the last one are so so great. I feel the need all my friends have to be aware of that, you know what i mean, that's not happened the last 20 years... i keep tellin friends to listen to 'speak to me' for example. First time i heard it, i was really moved, since then over and over again. They're one of the biggest music givers (if that word excists - as in love givers), of their time, our time, all time indeed. They're dark and straight and sweet and r'nr' liked it always has been ment or something. As i grow older, i love them more and more. And not only as a musician, but just as a human. It's great, thats what DM is, just great.

So glad you're feeling better ❤ I love Depeche Mode!!! Yes♡♡♡ So much love to you Mr Hawkins ❤️

Mr. Hawkins, you are a gem. I wish you nothing but success!. I love the channel.

My older sis got me into music when I was roughly around 11? I used to follow her round, much to her annoyance hehe (I still annoy her now lol ❤) and loved the music she loved. Depeche being one!! They are very distinctive from Dave's voice to the little guitar or synth riff's. Undeniably Depeche Mode!! 🥰

Great video and analysis of a new beautiful song.....I love DP, Dave is a charismatic frontman...have a good week end Justin..

Simply love DM. I’ve been listening to them my whole life. So glad they’ve come out with another great album.

Another one here that saw them at Manchester. was at the back in top tier but meant I was able to take in the full spectacle of the light show and the crowd waving. Awsome!

Never has the music of so few meant so much to so many ❤💀🖤

Saw them in Birmingham a few weeks ago, unfortunately they didn't do this track , great night.thanks for your reaction

I saw them in Oslo last August and they deserve to be selling out arenas. The whole of the Memento Mori album is far better than it has any right to be.

Loved hearing your take Justin this is my favorite song on the album..

Seen them twice on this tour, absolutely amazing 🤩

What I love about out your videos are you always give such respectful to artists/bands that are legendary. Also new music too but it’s so lovely to hear your opinions on the songs. Love the way you can put aside their back catalog respectfully and listen to the current releases in an objective way even though it’s hard to separate the two I know. Huge respect and admiration for you and your band too man. Been a fan since 2003 and seen ye play with Metallica in Dublin. Even slept on a bench near the train station with 4 mates cos we were so broke and couldn’t get any girls to let us crash in there place which now I completely understand but were only 20/21 and had a real fearless bravado 😅 Ot was totally worth it to see you guys, linkin park and Metallica. God we were mad but happy. Anyway love the videos man and the Darkness always too 🤘❤️🎶

Seen them at the Hydro 2 week ago, epic as always

Surprisingly found Memento Mori to be wonderful! Reignited my love for this band! Opener My Cosmos Is Mine is like an Intro, not much of a song (to me). At least 6 or 7 bangers in there! Would love to see them play the new album live in full or as an unplugged thing. Love the backing vocals in Before We Drown, too ❤ A super underrated song from Exciter is "The Dead Of Night"

my favourite track off the album, gutted they didn't play it at Twickenham in the summer but the rain coming during the encore for never let me down again was superb

Seen them in Manchester performing this track, outstanding!

I just drove 5 hours to watch a 45 minute set at Party In The Paddock after 20 years of hoping to see you live SO worth it!! You killed it and your vocals live are something to behold. Band sounded awesome Well done

Glad to know you love Depeche Mode! I went to see them just last week in Antwerpen, they were just great! I enjoyed a lot

Lovely stuff, Justin, thank you 😊

This is an excellent song and video.. Loved every second, thank you Justin.

Saw them in Detroit a few months back, fantastic show! I was just listening to them earlier today, impeccable timing!

Good painting music , danceable music. I love it

their dark beats always hit a sweet spot with me. nice. this feels mid 90s and I am extremely happy with that. I love how JH when hes hyped and really into something he immediately plays it showing the enthusiasm which also keeps me enthused... thusiated thussed well yeah. It's fun seeing the slew of legends showcased here from Priest to DM. man i'm loving this tune from em. this tune is sick expecially the echo thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for presenting this song, Justin. I'd forgotten to check out Momento Mori, this is a good reminder for me to order a copy. Sounds great.

Just seen them in Dublin last week. They were amazing!!!!

Saw them at the ziggodome last Thursday in Amsterdam Great band and amazing sounding venue

Saw them for the first time this month in Antwerp. Best show ever!!

I'm always astonished by artists who can write at a high level, for decades.

Heck yeah Depeche Mode! I instantly love this song😊 Reminds me of “It’s No Good” & “Enjoy the Silence” two of my faves. Those dark moody synthesisers combined with Dave’s vocals are like soothing medicine✨🖤✨

Love Depeche Mode! And I love this song!! It is fantastic!!

Fantastic show last night in Canberra 🤘
