Depeche Mode - One Caress (Devotional, 1993)

[@Peacecore09]

There is no other songwriter quite like Martin. His lyrics, his stage presence, his voice, all WOW!

[@littlemouse7066]

he learned a lot from Bowie in terms of using strange chords progressions without copying or anything he's an original writer. I love them both.

[@Bubbleslovesfood]

@@littlemouse7066 where did you hear that?

[@sandracole5265]

Had Martin Gore never became part of the biggest musical band he could have easily had a big career on Broadway with that voice !

[@meganwynn372]

Its..like .. rippling poured out at you, like beauty to the ears..❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@joeq3838]

I saw the Devotional Tour in 1993 in Portugal when I was 13 (dragged my dad along, which is what teenage girls in any generation do). When Martin sang this song I was in love. And I mean full-on teen mode, crying and screeching "I love yous" at him. 23 years later and I can tell you there always be a special place in my heart for him and this song.

[@jesslive8390]

Oh you Lucky one! I wish I could have been there, but it was Seven years before my birth 😢😞

[@mariavandova7464]

Jo Everytime i listen to this song, i read your comment, and it make me smile a bit... I'll be 13 next year and i wish i could be there like you... 😉

[@robynsrussell]

Jo I was 16 and I know exactly what you mean! 😍

[@dianalopez1928]

Lucky you. I wasn't even born.

[@robynsrussell]

Dian, I wish I truly appreciated what I was lucky to witness as I saw them during their Devotional and Exotic tours and got to talk to Dave as I was front row when they came back to Kingswood in Toronto/Vaughan for the second leg. I'll never forget it!

[@stellathequeen97]

His voice is so special ... I don't have other words to describe it. ♥

[@ThatGirl-tg7wd]

This is one of Martin's most underrated and darkest songs...he ever wrote or performed. Always thought it was film theme worthy. I have made some short films in a psych drama series where DM music inspired much of the edit and the dark story itself. always inspired by these men.

[@Luciarella]

His voice is from another world.

[@PTAdeejay]

In the Top 10 best live renditions of any song ever.

[@solstice1681]

Martin is the most beautiful human being ever created period! No wait, he's not human, he's an angel!!!!! A perfect angel, a mythical creature from another world who chose a mortal life to give us a glimpse of heaven with his beautiful voice, eyes, lips, hair..... I am breathless 🫠

[@joeymac75]

Voice of an Angel. Truly

[@ThrashDawg]

His voice is so incredible

[@SkyeID]

I was listening to this song and wondering, is Martin a baritone???

[@ThrashDawg]

@@SkyeID I mean his range is wide, so probably spanning multiple classifications. im not an expert tho haha

[@paolacinquepalmi9517]

Martin Gore ha una voce meravigliosa! Canzone stupenda!

[@ginaarber7386]

I was 2 years old when this happened. Really feel I was born in the wrong decade. I watch this over and over again and it's pure time travel.

[@jette_khn1714]

I was not even born :(

[@victorsera6291]

Tim Burton and Depeche Mode would go so well together. I think of a Tim Burton film when I hear this song.

[@andaluciavazquez8726]

Victor Sera Me too!!

[@imaginarygirl0]

I think of vampires movies such as Bram Stoker's Dracula. Either way some gothic movie. And I absolutely love this vibe, this song, him 🌹🖤

[@AndreaAnd-gg4ye]

Se parece tambien a J.Depp en "Manos de tijeras"..Tan brillante y delicado,sospecho que asi son los angeles cantando,resplandecientes como Martin.

[@davidbianucci501]

This is an incredible masterpiece!!!

[@aljonaweber8603]

Заслушаться можно Как я скучаю по тому времени когда 93 - 95 годы и Депеш Мод , и я их слушала и любила . И все более менее хорошо.Эта реальность живет у меня в голове...Это было лучшее время в жизни.

[@gillnco]

martins voice here is impECCABLE im in tears

[@jolkjoemi4489]

He flies away, one of Martin's most beautiful songs, he totally moves me

[@alanabernal2112]

Martin L. Gore is phenomenal ❤

[@seelow733]

He`s stumbling around but his voice makes up a hundred times

[@bialevin1121]

Great live version, he's vocals sounds very good and Alan on that piano...

[@funneepie]

Vampires? I don’t know but one of the best songs ever. I was a teen reading Anne Rice. I heard this song in a record store in the mall. My heart beat so fast I thought I’d faint. I think my knees went weak. 🤷‍♀️

[@becool_444]

I could listen to Martin sing 24/7 ❤

[@Bluedressilvia]

Lee Gore the best songwriter ever 🌹🌹

[@danielaradu4601]

He was drunk but what a performance

[@melancholicmind4731]

Goosebumps and Tears 🖤

[@bomzpodvalleningrad]

One Caress Well I’m down on my knees again And I pray to the only one Who has the strength To bear the pain To forgive all the things that I’ve done Oh Girl Lead me into your darkness When this world is trying it’s hardest To leave me unimpressed Just one caress From you and I’m blessed When you think you’ve tried every road Every avenue Take one more look At what you found old And in it you’ll find something new I’m shying from the light I always loved the night And now you offer me eternal darkness I have to believe that sin Can make a better man It’s the mood that I am in That left us back where we began.

[@AndreaAnd-gg4ye]

Impresionante.Conmovedor.Martin ERA 1 muñeco adorable,y sigue sièndolo HOY.

[@MarieRChild]

I agree. Same universe same vision. Burton and DM, a great idea. The Martin 's voice is incredible in this live.

[@foofoobear66]

I'm not even sure this is actually live and not lip synced....There is an orchestra behind this song, and frankly I don't see one....You can tell by the final note (word) in this song...."blessed" and he pulls the mic away long before the note is over......

[@Flo-mh3pz]

​@@foofoobear66 What absolute BOLLOCKS...

[@darkwavejunglist8198]

One of my favorite songs to sing along with. ...I forgot it was Martin Gore that did the singing on this one. :p I'm so used to seeing Dave on everything.

[@TheXanneXanneChannel]

Same here, I put the song on to get ready for my day and sing along and when I look over and see a pouf of bleached hair and those shiny leggings I smile remembering how lovely his voice is as well as our beloved Dave. DMforever!

[@sylviasodan3563]

beautiful voice

[@uyq274g]

soooooooooooooooooo beautiful ...........

[@birgitweigelt8806]

Great Song! Thank you so much Martin!

[@bees.857]

Martin is a God amongst men

[@raducaandrei2224]

Galactic voice...

[@TheSynnrStation]

i love this version with the piano

[@TimeZone-One]

Looking back in time, sadly that Martin did not sung many other songs. He had all what was needed, exactly as Dave

[@rumblefish9]

That vibrato in his voice is just... *chef's kiss*

[@ovidiumantoiu]

@Walrus Eggman the sound is just added to the image, they are from separate performances.. i know that because i found this audio version to download and i'm sure the uploader found it too and just added it to this footage just because the audio quality is better ... that's it man, don't worry DM is 100% live

[@SSS.1984]

Great live performance of arguably the band's most overtly Gothic moment. The "One Caress" music video is an evocative work of art. It's dark visual style matches the suspenseful tone of the towering string composition. The lyrics are among the most provocative Martin L Gore has ever written! Dropping ambigious hints at themes such as addiction & suicide, "One Caress" to me is a song which seems to be about death (via suicide) as a means to redeem a guilty soul. That the narrator (Gore) believes "sin can make a better man" speaks volumes as he is open to an offer of "eternal darkness". "One Caress" is driven by haunting strings which increase in both tempo & intensity as the song progresses. Martin L Gore sings wonderfully on what is my personal favourite Martin L Gore led song of Depeche Mode's career.

[@nafania11]

I enjoyed reading your post. I was surprised with your explanation of a song. It's probably based on a piece of history I dont know about. I thought that song was about seduction and lust.

[@anastasias.7186]

💔💔💔 so beautiful 😭

[@raducaandrei2224]

The best performance(Martin) of this magnificent song of DM

[@jakubbielak7273]

Martin's voice at its best.

[@Fernando-jj8qn]

Lloro!!!!!!❤

[@sarinastokes2814]

Just made me go goosebumps!

[@Flo-mh3pz]

To all who mentioned this is not live, it sounds like you're saying or believing that Martin is not capable of the performance given...🤯 I can only assume that you have not seen him actually perform live... If you have, then you should know better.

[@Sonjaczek]

Word.

[@chrischris2325]

Canzone meravigliosa 🌹

it seem to be an overdub of a live audio performance upon a video from another concert. great stuff, anyway.

[@sad15.]

Martin s voice is incredible and excellent

Hey the Audio is not from this performance . The audio is from the live album

always perfect vibrato perfect pitch and perfect bass.

[@liberamor01]

@VotreBetiseFR it's possible that video and sound are not from the same exact performance. possible thay take best video and best sound from the tour and attach together. But, you can be sure, Martin voice it's really always perfect, and i talk as a musicians. Dave's voice it's powerful and strong, but often out from the tune. Martin sings always perfect. So, you can continue to admire this awesome man!!! :) sorry for my english, too.

Fantastic ...M.L.G reall super♡♡♡

[@StarshineandMercury]

He has a very strong powerful voice and the music is hauntingly beautiful. I'm thankful that bass guitarist #TommyJoeRatliff (who plays for #Adam Lambert on Glam Nation Tour) peaked my interest in this musician. Where can I find videos of his more recent stuff? And as for @USCUSCTrojan's comment - Sooooo what. Let the beautiful talented singer be and go hatebash yourself in a dark corner for being such an annoying little twit

Who cares if it's not actually live? If you noticed that this is (obviously) prerecorded perfomance overdub then you clearly weren't paying enough attention to his seductive hip wiggle. Humunuh humuneh, mrow!
