Alone - Depeche Mode | REACTION

[@MUSiC-world-20986]

Beautiful song. Underrated My another favourite track from Delta Machine ❤❤❤❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@andy7owen7]

Martin played Somebody at Peter Gordeno's (DM's touring keyboard player) wedding, best present ever!

[@andy7owen7]

There's some great live studio sessions form this album too, Heaven, Broken and Goodbye.

[@adriantoma9405]

Hidden gem...just one of the best DM songs, unfortunately with no live version 😢

[@SephPlays]

They didn't do this live!???? 😭😭😭😭

[@Simon-fl1tl]

I'm glad you like it so much! Even though I never liked it. Same with Should Be Higher (even though I liked that one after first hearings, but today not so much anymore). Only upcoming Delta Machine song that I like is Happens All The Time. You will love it.

[@mongellaprunelle8886]

Very beautiful and dark song.

[@Martx3Susanx3]

I had „Stripped“ for my entrance at my wedding. In 2017 I attended a Depeche Mode concert in Leipzig. At that time I was unhappy in my former relationship and I have just met my now-husband. On that very day, just when they played Stripped, I realised I am in love with my now-husband. 7 years later we got married to this song. DM is an addiction ;) In terms of Alone: it’s also the best song for me. To me, the song is definitely about a hopeless relationship, maybe if someone in this relationship is struggling with depression.

[@SephPlays]

Wow you had stripped for the entrance!????

[@Martx3Susanx3]

@@SephPlays Yep :D You should have seen the faces of our family - they couldn‘t See this coming and it was very hilarious. However, this song brought my husband and me together, hence, it was pretty clear that we would have this on our wedding.

[@danvideo2948]

Great and underrated song. For me there's something missing in the second half but still wonderfull.

[@storiedworlds6261]

Yes, agreed! Great song. Probably my favorite from the album. Edit: you’re right, like many DM songs, it’s open to interpretation. For me, it’s definitely a relationship.

[@Cloudberry84]

Agreed. It's a really good song. It speaks alot to me, since my wife suffers from bipolar disorder. Really hits you in the emotions 😔

[@depeshak06]

Tense strings in the beginning of first verse remind me In You Room , can be heard also in 2:01 And thats pretty all what I like about this song.

[@SephPlays]

Was you a fan of this album in general?

[@depeshak06]

@@SephPlays I remember the hype around and how I was excited about this new material when I kept listening it in the first rounds. As I mentioned in my previous comment, You Should Be Higher is very good song from entire album, rest of album is very poor and I would say this whole album belongs to below average of other albums since Alan left the band. May be worse than Sounds of The Universe ? Really hard to say that since I love Depeche Mode from era 86-98.

[@SephPlays]

@@depeshak06 Reading the comments from the last couple of albums I've reacted to and i think the large majority of the fandom will agree with you

[@crisgriffin3042]

If I'll ever have a wedding, I'd play a Blue dress. XD

[@SephPlays]

Could be worse haha Blasphemous Rumours while walking down the Isle of the church for example haha

[@Cloudberry84]

How about master & servant? 😊

[@ChannelTG2020]

Yeah I can totally relate. This one’s a real banger. For me this is the one of their best track of the last decade.

[@RussellKirkman-ld3vv]

I'm thinking a codependent toxic relationship. This is my favorite song from Delta. It took almost a whole album but it finally sounds like Depeche Mode! Awesome complex arrangement of sounds, yes the vocals, gorgeous. Love those icy strings. The bridge sounds like choral music, truly stunning and heart-wrenching. The beat kicks butt too. It's gems like these that keep me coming back. BTW Rolling Stone magazine gave Delta 5 stars, if that tells you something.

[@zerudadensetsu4392]

hi Seph without a doubt my favorite. this song always reminded me of clean from the violator album. I find it extraordinary 👌

[@SephPlays]

I couldn't agree with you more! This is definitely a throw back to that!!!

[@humbertob.riverosalarcon1675]

I feel chill exactly what you feel in the same part of this wonderful and sad poem... greetings from Chile!

[@Andreonynone]

There's aways a great tune on each album that they never play live, that's the exemple! Great react! A hint: next song has a EXTENDED VERSYON of the music video that's the same length of the album versyon! You'd react that versyon! Hugs!

[@yannpoure2414]

The second masterpiece. A true dark DM track as only them have the secret. Martin's backing vocals are so deep and cold.

[@bifferoni14]

What a song! Good reaction!

[@secretsymphony]

I'm glad you like this one - it's my favourite on the album. I do think Delta Machine gets stronger with these later tracks...

[@KeithDCanada]

I have to thank you.... I have never once considered that this song could be the band literally speaking to their fans about being one half of a give and take relationship with the music itself. That's actually a really poignant insight on the lyrics. I can attest to your statement that music can really pull people out of some places that they are stuck in. Happened to me. Had a bad breakup hat lead to a divorce after 16 years of marriage, and the day it happened, I found a new song by Sara Barielles, called "Gravity", that had just come out at the time.... and that song was the life preserver that I needed to stay afloat. If you ever get a chance to listen to that song, it's a beautiful tune... but the video..... that video is one of the most creative and simplistic pieces of art I have ever seen.

[@raphaelcharroux8798]

Next song is also great and the best song of the album in Live.

[@raphaelcharroux8798]

Here is a link to a good live version of the next song : kzbin.info/www/bejne/noKmqIZsn8mgjpo&ab_channel=JasonDeBord

[@eloymartinezrebollo4704]

Esta es una de las canciones que más me gusta a mí hijo.

[@SephPlays]

How old was your son when he got into Depeche Mode?

[@eloymartinezrebollo4704]

​@@SephPlays mi hijo tiene ahora 14 años pero lleva escuchando Depeche Mode desde que es un bebé ya que inevitablemente la escuchaba cuando yo la ponía. Él cuando salió Delta Machine tenía solo 4 años y así oírlo con esa edad, al parecer se le grabó en la mente tanto la canción Alone como la de Should be higher, hace dos meses se vino conmigo a verlos en directo a Bilbao, y dice que ha sido hasta ahora la mejor experiencia de su vida.

[@SephPlays]

It's sooooo great that the youth of today are still enjoying Depeche mode so many years later. You should win the dad of the year award for teaching him what decent music is

[@alexandruhajdubuga2545]

This is what i mean comercial songs are good but this kind of songs are way better

[@claudioortiz9007]

It's a banger! It's definitely my favorite song off of this album. My 2nd favorite song would be "Always" which to me sounds like they were trying to recreate a song that could have been on Construction Time Again.

[@Matthew-t8t]

relationship where one person tries to save their friend/lover etc

[@scottwood5184]

Seph, according to my KZbin details. You've got 14.5 thousand views in 50 minutes for this upload. You deserve it.

[@perwinding2043]

A dude called DOMINATRIX has made a remix of this song..this is 🔥🔥

[@sisterofnight67-54]

Dominatrix, a german remixer,musican and a huge DM fan,is the best(unfortunately unofficial) Depeche Mode remixer!!!!👆👍I've been following him for more than 15 years!!! He should just officially do remixes for DM! I already told him that,but contact Martin and " apply" with a selection of his remixes.My opinion.Maybe it will happen.. who knows.... 😊😊

[@pawels9920]

They never did this live ! I think it is the most complex song since LP Songs Of Faith And Devotion !

[@joannechiappetta2240]

My favorite song on Delta Machine! But even the not as good tunes are elevated by Dave’s exceptional vocals along with Martin’s angelic harmonies. I look forward to you experiencing Memento Mori, in my opinion one of their best in years.

[@SephPlays]

Is that the next album? Or the one after?

[@joannechiappetta2240]

@@SephPlays It’s the new album, Spirit is next. It’s my least favorite. Ultra is my favorite of all.

[@balovett]

"Or there's one other way to think of it. Could be music itself. I've been there... for all your bad times or good times. This is to me... this is music. This is the way that it makes me feel. You listen to Depeche Mode... and it does make you feel like you are part of something. It makes you feel like it can save you from the worst of situations. It'll be there at your worst. It'll be there at your best times as well." (7:48) That's you and your channel in a nutshell. And it's what you cultivate here with your subscribers every day. And it's incredibly powerful stuff. However, there's a lyric that Martin sings in the bridge, "Now it's too late for words that should have been said long ago," that leads me to believe he wrote this song from his ex-wife's perspective. Certainly the other parts of the song could be about Martin's well known alcohol addiction, while the bridge could then be about the effects of that addiction on his relationship with his ex-wife. But I think it feels more like the former. Another surprise from the band.

[@SephPlays]

I definitely see the Relationship angle more now because of this comment Brad! Thank you :D

[@pawels9920]

Amazing, best on the LP. Sounds like Alan is back. 🤩 ! I was waiting for Your reaction to this since LP Playing The Angel!

[@TERNAN242]

❤❤❤❤

[@FredrikAndersson597]

The bridge, “Now it's too. Too late for what should've been said Long ago“... is really nice. Slightly odd but stylish Martin Gore-accord in that "bridge".

[@DonHaka]

Yo i was wondering if you ever did the song 'Lilian' off of Playing The Angel?

[@SephPlays]

Removed due to copyright issues 😭😭😭😭

[@DonHaka]

@@SephPlays oh damnit! i really like Lilian, well atleast you heard it 😅what did you think of it?

[@alexandruhajdubuga2545]

Sometimes a good liric can cjange a not so good tune in an amazing song, you ll see from now on much more times, the last two Albums go like this,,,

[@chrisherrmann1722]

There are a lot of peaks and valleys in these later DM albums but as you are noticing, but they are far from done putting out good music. But you have to endure the low spots to get to the high ones 😜

[@pacorosiello4411]

After this song, the rest of Delta does not worth

[@jlcmsw]

I must confess that this is a track I usually skip. As far as lyrics, Martin has said in interviews that he often uses religion/faith references in his songs so I think he’s saying I’m not your god. Don’t put so much pressure on me because I can’t fulfill all your needs.

[@larsgutheil5520]

My favourite on the album. Delta Machine has its flaws, but the last stretch is fire

[@alexandruhajdubuga2545]

So we are not "ALONE" ****

[@danielet612]

the track had to stop before the last chorus...after priest, only instrumental music...my opinion

[@scottwood5184]

Oops sorry read wrong.

[@manfredholm3956]

Alone is not my favorite on this Album, it is a good Song, but I think there are better Songs. Depeche Mode = different Opinions...... and that is good Next Song was the second Single from Delta Machine First Single Heaven, third Should be higher.
