Depeche Mode - Enjoy the Silence (REACTION) WRITER REACTS - First Time Hearing It

[@mrbear1302]

If I were ever asked which song I would take with me to a desert island, that I had to listen to for the rest of my existence. This is the song. No matter how many times I've listened to this in the last 20 years. It never gets old!

[@ALEXANDER-bb8jc]

The greatest band of the New Wave.

[@robertgieseler1220]

Excellent -- and now you really MUST react to their live performance of this song in Berlin some decades later. I mean, REALLY... 🙂 Depeche Mode got some intense and deep lyrics -- and they are tough on you. They don't beat around the bush. On a personal note, one of their songs (their lyrics, that is) is a personal punishment for myself and I have to hear it again every now and then as kind of a catharsis (if that makes any sense). ...and I enjoyed your silence at the end of the video. Best from Germany

[@htbald1]

DEPECHE MODE IS ONE OF MY ALL TIME FAVORITE BANDS, FIRST, YOU HAVE A VERY DISTINCT ORIGINAL ELECTRONIC SOUND! SECOND, ADD A LEAD SINGER WITH A HAUNTING VOICE! THIRD, LYRICS, SIMPLE AND POWERFUL, STRATEGICALLY PLACED TO EVOKE A REACTION! ❤THEM! BUT, WHAT I WANTED TO SAY IS THIS, IT'S AMAZING TO SEE SOMEONE LISTEN AND FEEL WHAT THE SONG IS ACTUALLY SUPPOSED TO MAKE YOU FEEL! ❤ IT!

[@mancfrank]

Everything Counts, People Are People, Blasphemous Rumours, Shake The Disease & Never Let Me Down Again are absolute musts in the Depeche pantheon

[@joshuadeshaies7266]

This band is excellent!!! 💯. Incredible music with a lot of great songs!! And they were Awesome live!!¡

[@jameswormington9978]

Live in Berlin ... you need to watch it ASAP !

[@Jontor11]

This song is amazing. It's 34 years old but it' has aged so well. It just keeps getting better with time....

[@adrian3020]

Saeed, Depeche Mode - Home is one of the finest songs ever written. Sung by Martin Gore it has a different feel to the fine voice of Dave Gahan. It's simply mesmerising.

[@sana-cm7oc]

Home is beautiful. Martin Gore wrote it when he was in a very dark place in his life. He said in an interview that self-deletion was on his mind.

[@MarkChappell1]

Always loved this song, well before I focused on the lyrics. Then it even got better. Now hearing it through your ears and life experiences it even gets more complex. It's interesting to me how music and lyrics can reach different people in different ways. To me it's a teaching moment on how diverse each person's life is, and helps to have empathy for all. Thanks for all of your sharing of your feelings and life.

[@SaeedReacts.]

Great song. It is very interesting how songs hit certain people different. I see many different perspectives from people in comments across my video's and learned a lot. It is one of the beauty's of great art. Thanks for watching.

[@toddashton9696]

Another great reaction. Thanks for this favorite from my youth.

[@RedlineRacer]

Home is a wonderful song sung by the guitarist and songwriter of the band. He typically sings 1 or 2 slower songs on each album. It’s a must listen.

[@go234ko96ts5]

This song is an all time favorite of mine. This group has put together many great songs and hits. I think this is their all time biggest hit. If you ever have the time, give ENJOY THE SILENCE live in Berlin a listen too. You will not be disappointed, I promise.

[@epic147]

The KZbin algorithm brought me here as a huge Depeche Mode fan, and I’m glad it did! Fun fact: in your first reaction to Policy of Truth, you ended the video by saying “Get the balance right,” which happens to be a Depeche Mode song title from 1983. And in this reaction, your closing comment, “This song speaks to me,” matches the title of a track from their latest album Memento Mori called Speak to Me, released in 2023. Amazing coincidences 😊 Keep up the great work!

[@drunk1998]

OMG, they way you react, it s just emotions and DM are so good

[@rgtuube7]

I love how you FEEL the music my friend 👌

[@leslapins7617]

What a beautiful and sincere reaction Saed 🥰

[@thomasgabrielli6813]

Depeche Mode is the best introverted band out there. I'm very glad that i discovered them as a 19 year old. I'm about to turn 22, and DM will forever be one of my Top 3 favorite bands.

[@jlcmsw]

Depeche Mode is my favorite band of all time. They have been around for over 40 years and you can hear why. They have lyrics and melodies that pierce your soul and songs that so many people can relate to. DM has so many songs that speak to me in different parts of my life. I hope you continue your journey through the musical poetry of DM.

[@ninawildr4207]

Its interesting you said 'it speaks to me'which is the title pf their last song of their album Memento Mori...Speak To Me...

[@TheNotedHero]

Yes! The album version :) "World in My Eyes" is another great song from the same album, get to it!

[@JessMessica]

Sending you love, Saeed. Addiction is a life-long battle. The trauma we want to escape is always there no matter how much work we've done on ourselves to accept it and move forward. Music can be both healing and dangerous, depending on the song. That's the beauty of interpretation. You have a lot of support on this channel, but take care of yourself.

[@SaeedReacts.]

Thanks so much for these warm words. Sobriety is definitely my priority and i can not become arrogant in thinking that i can't slip back into addiction. Like you said the trauma is still there.

[@valeried.f4961]

THANK YOU! They are the band of my life❤

[@timithius]

Keep the Depeche Mode coming! :-)

[@YeungSze]

Next: ""Personal Jesus", "Condemnation", "People Are People", "Master And Servant", "Somebody", "See You", "Just Can't Get Enough"

[@SaeedReacts.]

I recorded a reaction to Personal Jesus, but the video is blocked at the moment. Will add the others to my list. Thanks!

[@LoriCollis]

Congrats on your sobriety. Keep up the good work!

[@Muckylittleme]

Such a cathartic song, the ambience is sublime as well, and I love those little "ahhs" in the backing, they really make it.

[@carstens.1844]

DM Is a Religion

[@eveningglow2608]

Definitely one of my favourite bands. So much more to explore for you and also to relate to. Amazing songs like Never let me down again, Walking in my shoes and many more. Their latest album from 2023 is great.

[@johnnysampa]

This song with I Feel Love by Donna Summer and Blue Monday by New Order form the essential triad of electronic music

[@davidmeachen2896]

Got to listen to the live version 😊

[@ScottHindle-qv6mq]

Saeed, watch their video, everything counts. It is brilliant. Scott uk.

[@stevehartley7504]

You just can't go wrong with any British bands!!!!

[@jpmb-hz3jo]

walking in my shoes from depeche mode

[@andtap]

One of the greatest bands of all-time, imo. They were my obsession in high school! You should definitely check out Shake The Disease, my personal favourite song of their's. Thanks for the great reaction ❤

[@SaeedReacts.]

Looking forward to more. Thanks for watching and the recommendation.

[@erikgundersen1]

You must to see live concert from Berlin 😮 💪👌 Best of the best 💪

[@sweetwilly]

Welcome to Depeche Mode. 🖤🕺🏼. Try “The Sun and the Rainfall”.

[@JeterSwisherFan88]

This song speaks to me as well in so many different ways. Stellar reaction, BTW.

[@SaeedReacts.]

Such a great song. Thanks for watching!

[@stacybenstockklein449]

Martin Gore is a lyrical genius

[@ninawildr4207]

Check out I Feel You but from the Devotional tour from 93❤❤❤

[@JaDav40]

Nothing in the rules says you can only react to a song you're hearing for the first time. Another great song that charted in1990 was Giant's "I'll See You In My Dreams"

[@katjawege6886]

Good music and lyrics always allow more than one interpretation. As far as I know, the singer of DM had serious drug problems, so you might be right with that. To me, it is always just a great love song. All I've ever wanted, all I've ever needed is here in my arms... This is just so beutifully expressed. It should exactly feel like this when you're in love with somebody. Thanks for this great and honest reaction❤

[@SaeedReacts.]

Definitely agree with your statement. That is the Beauty of great art and writing. Amazing song. Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts.

[@welle5086]

❤❤❤

[@barryjurgensen9396]

this is single version of this song. Length 6:12 (album version) 4:15 (single version) 7:18 (12-inch version)

[@vnvmode]

The is the video mix, it is exclusive to the video and has not been released officially anywhere.

[@gregcormier2379]

I would definitely recommend you check out Personal Jesus and People are People. They are probably two of the more popular songs and both are a little faster paced which will give you more insight into their overall talents.

[@SaeedReacts.]

Thanks for the recommendations

[@Ciclopea2]

There are songs you grow into and understand later in life, this is one of them for me, even the video. You relate to that character just enjoying his Kingdom of silence...

[@EchoesDaBear]

Great reaction Saeed!! I've loved this track since its inception, and one of the best on Violator (an album FULL of 'bests'!) HIGHLY recommend Halo and Waiting For The Night from it (everyone does Personal Jesus). On a sidenote, HUGE congrats on your 3 years of sobriety!! Having friends & family that struggle with addiction, this is no small feat! Keep it up.

[@bazkeen]

Haven't heard this one in awhile. It got plenty of air play back in the day

[@SaeedReacts.]

Really like this song.

[@susanhuber7969]

Please Saeed,react to Personal Jesus! I think you'll love it!!!!!

[@SaeedReacts.]

I recorded a reaction to it, but its blocked at the moment. Hope that gets resolved soon.

[@tlucas9798]

This song reminds me of all the times I got too mad at my son, it’s an ouch moment for me.

[@malcolmmacdonald760]

Now watch it live.

[@ohfour-seven6228]

I mentioned before, DM were very influential on bands of their time and after. Definitely check out Strange Love (Blind Mix), Route 66 (Beatmasters Mix), Get the Balance Right (Combination Mix), Barrell of a Gun, It's No Good (album, not video, video is too broken up and distracting), Personal Jesus, I can go on and on, but that can help you explore more.

[@bardy18]

look at the devotional tour

[@happyheretic01]

Violator is a great album but I think their following album, 'Songs of Faith and Devotion' is better - 'I Feel You', 'Walking In My Shoes' and 'Condemnation' are all superb.

[@ninawildr4207]

Agreed💯

[@lamusiclover2264]

This visuals of this video remind me a classical piece called "The Hall of the Mountain King" Wonder if there was any relation to the last scene.

[@stefanstock953]

greetings and love from Germany again....i hoped you would do the live version from Berlin...however, good reaction like always, buddy

[@fredk3710]

Fun fact: Coldplay released, besides their official music video of "Viva La Vida", a secondary music video of "Viva La Vida" inspired by this video of Depeche Mode, with Chris Martin dressed up as a king like Dave Gahan did in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5y5qaOpnpaLh5Y&ab_channel=Coldplay Both videos were directed by Dutch photographer and director Anton Corbijn.

[@alexiscalzada3798]

"Depeche Mode - Useless" por favor, saludos desde Argentina!

[@SaeedReacts.]

Thanks for the recommendation. Greetings from Belgium.

[@mongooz24]

They do a lot of songs about addiction as the lead singer, David Gahan, famously struggled with it. How keen of you to pick it up. I hope you are ok, it seemed to really move you…

[@Shabenn]

I believe Dave, the lead singer was a full blown heroin addict at that time. Martin Gore wrote incredibly about it in their music. At least that's how it seems to me.

[@marcfinch8915]

This was one of their best selling titles. Not my favorite though. I recommend »Never let me down again«, »World in my eyes«, »I feel you«, »Stripped« and »People are People«. Because this band put so much attention to sound design you should listen to the studio versions first.

[@SaeedReacts.]

Thanks for sharing some recommendations !

[@ThingsAroundDC]

Tori Amos covered this of course and put it on her Strange Little Girls album. Tho I’ve always been partial to this live version kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZi9q559q96ksMU

[@sergioherreroserradilla4143]

Martin Gore us a real pretty good poet, better even than musician. You can try with the song and lirics of: never let me down again, waiting for the night, one caress or damaged people.

[@CavHDeu]

Please react to the german marching band Meute

[@brooklynbridgealias]

Where is the Burger King going with that chair????? (I was upvote #75).

[@alexandruhajdubuga2545]

Hy ,if You like the Deep lirics try to listen Sistet of night, live by Depeche Mode, amazing song aand lirics,,,

[@SaeedReacts.]

Thanks for the recommendation! I have a few other reactions recorded to video's of theirs, but they are currently blocked.

[@alexandruhajdubuga2545]

By the way please react always to live versión they are much better than studio track,,,,

[@SaeedReacts.]

I get so many comments each day to always do studio and then on other video's always do the live version. Dilemma! 😄

[@alexandruhajdubuga2545]

@SaeedReacts. Depeche Mode nevera had a bad live stage performance,and they live versión are longer and It is an simbiosis between the crowd and they band,,,,

[@user-pe9gz8si8k]

Again. Not the original

[@stefanstock953]

What you´re talking bout? Music and lyrics were written by guitarist/keyboarder Martin L. Gore

[@aimeek9384]

What would be the original?

[@stefanstock953]

@@aimeek9384 it's the original, he just has no clue
