If I had been allowed to choose, this song would have been the last song at every Depeche Mode concert.

[@Morse___]

I happen to think it’s one of THE most underrated songs Martin Gore has written. Lovely interpretation

[@thisistype_concept9964]

A broken frame has not only the best album cover, it ends with this wonderful song. Great interpretation Vaughn.

[@VaughnGeorge]

Glad you enjoyed it!! Thank you!! VG :-)

[@djzn]

"A Broken Frame" is one of the best album covers ever made. I agree. That photograph is glorious and Brian was a genius.

[@i_am_the_void]

​@@djzn it has a touch of "socialist realism" (соцреализм) that was popular in USSR.

[@remastered-00-pl]

I was listening today to the full A BROKEN FRAME album. PURE MASTERPIECE

[@abrokenframe72]

One of my favorite DM albums!

[@martindevalle9395]

I prefer "A Broken Frame" instead of "Exciter" ....

[@ryanbusby7120]

31 years ago, I fell in love with A broken frame. Masterpiece indeed

[@leslijones4443]

I love “A Broken Frame” best of all DMs albums. The cover, the songs. It’s the one I like best, it retains my interest..❤️🌞🌧 Got it in 82 or 3, all those years ago, and it’s still in my top ten.

[@jps3b]

You are so talented Vaughn. This brings me back to 15 years old the year 1986. I would go to sleep listening to DM. My window open in my upstairs room. The distant sound of a train’s horn. Dreaming of my first love. The girl I took to the Rose Bowl in 1988. The very sound of stripped would bring her to tears. Her green eyes indelibly in my heart. And now, in 2024 I wonder where the time went. I was blessed enough to see Dm in December in Los Angeles. Thank you for all the work you put into your channel.

[@VaughnGeorge]

Ahhh Bless you my dear friend ! You are very welcome and thank you of your kind words and for sharing your great memories !! Lots of love!! VG :-)

Simply beautiful. One of my early times DM song. Great interpretation that encances the beauty hiden in the original track. That show's what a genius MG is and you are getting closer and closer ;)

[@brody5211]

I started singing this unconsciously loud as you played it . It’s a wonderful song , and as always with DM they just don’t bother with some of the very early album tracks , unlike say the cure etc , I remember someone asking them at a press conference would they play it again live . The look of them summed it up sadly …

[@scott48k21]

Beautiful version of a song I’m re discovering after 30 years! Have you seen / heard the fantastic cover of this song by Duo Rikka & Tomi ? Brings the song up to date and Rikka has a tone to her voice that suits the DM songs just right.

[@AntoniTolwinski]

Beautiful cover/interpretation! Played it after the original while writing my script, the energy and love you put into this definitely transferred over!

Thank you sir!! VG :-)

I said this in the "A Broken Frame" album review...this is the most beautiful sad song I ever heard...I want this version played during my funeral. I'll send my family the link. Thanks Vaughn, this video along with your version of Here is the House is among the best things I've heard lately. Thanks again.

@@VaughnGeorge Thanks for your reply, VG. Fletch used to say that this song got "lost", but to me, it is the best Martin Gore song ever. I freak out, as well as many other fans like me do. One of the best Gore songs. Concerning the remixes, my preferred mix is the "The Sun & The Rainfall (Black Light Odyssey's Further Excerpts)" -- Your piano interpretation drives that tiger inside of us -- I went back to one of your videos teaching your method. I know the chords and circle of fifths, and such things... but I definitely feel I will need to try your way. :-)

Wonderful!! have you ever heard something from Marsheaux? It is a ladies Greek duo, making synth music, several covers, and they made the cover of the entire album "A Broken Frame", i like their version of The Sun and the Rainfall... well.. with such a great melody... :)

[@damienabbott9805]

Nice 1 Vaughn! I rate this song as the perfect closing track to a DM album alongside New Dress (Black Celebration), Clean (Violator) and Higher Love (Songs of Faith and Devotion). The Marcheux version is also very good!!!

[@EmpressTouch]

@Damien Abbott: The Marsheaux interpretations of 'A Broken Frame' are brilliant; not only in the music itself, but their approach to extending all ten tracks - something that must have used up a lot of creative energy and time.

a broken frame has always been one of the best album.. all my dm friend say the same therefor its wierd that MG says that its bad and he also say that DM is making better and better albums..also the shity last 5 albums.. and he is not proud of the first ones..a broken frame is simple intrvorted melakolic from the soul songs..DM is afread to make simple electronic song that we all like.. all song today has to be so fucking overproduced because deep inside they are afread that they are not be good enough.. therefor the overproducing

[@alexwestconsulting]

very nice. i love broken frame. one of their most maligned albums but it's so good. so dark without being industrial. so classic daniel miller. it's the singles of see you and meaning of love (and a photograph of you) that don't fit the album. i wish someone (daniel?) had stepped in and said "you aren't a teeny bopper band anymore, let's make those songs actually fit your new sound with fitting production", because they are actually decent songs (not sure photograph could have been saved, but meaning of love is really good songwriting (see you makes me cringe, even with that awesome bassline)). the rest of the album is just awesome. the sun and rainfall is gold. so haunting. one of the greatest mysteries with resect to DM, broken frame in particular, is who the hell played the solo on leave in silence. I was always convinced that alan actually did it without credit by that apparently isn't so. my understanding now is that it was literally random generated. that is frickin' awesome.

[@faridahmady7988]

The solo of leave in silence was created by pre recorded parts in one particular synth? I have heard that the guitar intro of never let me down again and beautiful moto bassline for stripped is from synth library

[@alexwestconsulting]

@@faridahmady7988 per dave bascome: "In a 4 July 2019 interview with Super Deluxe Edition, Music For The Masses co-producer Dave Bascombe recalled the recording process for the guitar riff: [...] I remember Martin had his guitar, and it’s used quite a bit... the beginning of "Never Let Me Down [Again]" for example... What a wonderful, happy accident that was. It was supposed to start with the snare drum and then go straight in, but because of the nature of technology at the time, the guitar [riff] was played, then we sampled it into the Synclavier and it just kicked off as soon as it got code at the beginning of the track and we all went ‘Wow, that's great’, so that was an accident."
