Lyrics
I'm not going down on my knees,
Begging you to adore me
Can't you see it's misery
And torture for me
When I'm misunderstood
Try as hard as you can,
I've tried as hard as I could
To make you see
How important it is for me
Here is a plea
From my heart to you
Nobody knows me
As well as you do
You know how hard it is for me
To shake the disease
That takes hold of my tongue
In situations like these
Understand me
Some people have to be
Permanently together
Lovers devoted to
Each other forever
Now I've got things to do
And I've said before that I know you have too
When I'm not there
In spirit I'll be there
Here is a plea
From my heart to you
Nobody knows me
As well as you do
You know how hard it is for me
To shake the disease
That takes hold of my tongue
In situations like these
Understand me
Here is a plea
From my heart to you
Nobody knows me
As well as you do
You know how hard it is for me
To shake the disease
That takes hold of my tongue
In situations like these

[@emperordalek]

This is possibly my favorite Depeche Mode song, and I've now found my new favorite cover of it. I can't express how much I love this.

[@islandempire]

Thank you! 🙏🏻

[@trespire]

Been listening to DM since 1984. Still have my cassettes. The instrumentals deserve "12 points", good interpretation of the original.

[@blainemccants1390]

Her voice reminds me of Suzanne Vega . Thanks for posting this whoever is responsible

This is such a nice variation from the original! Loved it!

Première voix féminine pour une tune de depeche mode. On dirait que c'est un seul synthétiseur qui joue le tout.

Great job, really hope this pops off for you, great voice, great sound. Subbed, so please continue! With the new DM album dropping soon, hopefully this finds its way into the algorithm. Good luck, and great job.

[@islandempire]

Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it!

[@ALAN6453]

Very nice cover

[@philatkinson1698]

For me shake the disease is one of DM best, love this cover👍

[@j.sueduektue7862]

the singer is really good, but sometimes she just doesn't hit the notes for the track right and sings too low as a result - still not unpleasant, but there is a bit of "power" missing....arrangement and playback are great and really chilly - overall anyway still one of the best depeche mode covers you can hear .

[@Ingens_Scherz]

Really hope this cover is picked up as incidental music for some kind of Cobra Kai-type of show. It really is that good!

[@NaimXG---]

Clean Cover please by DM Violator

[@sebastianvarelasantana9329]

Love it!

[@zeejacks8220]

[@keithjack38]

Excellent cover, really made it your own sound

[@Zestitcha]

Nice cover. Like the 'ghostly' vibe -- befits the tone of the song

[@alvaronoldor2462]

This is absolutely amazing, the video, the aesthetics, but the song, what a song!!! Great work, congrats!!!
