[@alazorn6665]

Aaron from My Dying Bride here. It was an immense pleasure to work with Libra on this important project and I feel we did the original song justice.

[@ralfkirsten124]

That´s 4 shure- my goosebumps speak for themselves..! Thänx 2 u and the other great artists..!!

[@13eighteen]

Thank yoooou Aaron!! Don’t even need to say anything... we go way back!! ...you know how much I admire you and how much you’ve influenced me with your art! 🤘🏻❤️

[@mh9788]

Thank you so much for being part of this! It's absolutely awesome!! You are great 🤘❤️

[@carmensovaila7903]

You guys are great! 🖤🎶

[@silviamarques9287]

🥰❤️

[@MartinLMode]

Now you can imagine what potential Martin's Gore compositions have.

[@dariovargas8843]

Goth/Doom metal royalty in one vídeo! 🤘😎 And playing Depeche mode!

[@jojito08]

I am a fan of Depeche Mode for over 36 years now, and this rendition left me crying to my bone! Spectacular, amazing, fantastic rock tribute. Thank you for creating this and to all the musicians who took part, my congratulations.

[@KatMat777]

I woke up with this song stuck in my head (one of my favorite DM songs), came here on youtube to listen to it, and found this cover instead. I am BLOWN AWAY! This deserves more likes!

[@libraoficial]

thank you for your kind words...

[@DJniggels]

My jaw just dropped! As if the list of contributors wasn't impressive enough I was completely blown away as soon as I clicked on play! As a life-long DM die-hard who also loves a bit of Metal I give a million thumbs up - this is insanely good!

[@fdm1596]

One of the best Depeche Mode cover ever! Also picked a wonderful song from their discography! Great job!! 👏👏

[@pgd2368]

Song of the Year

[@Dimonstrik]

First of all, thank you for choosing this song and not making an "obvious" cover of Personal Jesus like many others just because the original song features a guitar riff. This is beautiful, original and surprising cover of one of the most special Martin's songs from the best DM album ever. Thank you!

[@wilcovandenboom6797]

Could not breathe for a while. Breathtaking. Thank you. Depeche mode fan for 40+ years. Been kind 'black' and 'sad' but Depeche Mode always had a musical answer to keep me going. In other words: a well chosen charity for the people with less outspoken grief. I truly salute and thank you for restoring faith in humanity during this lockdown and curfew.

[@nykhlfc6times632]

Its amazing how influential Depeche Mode have been to the Metal/Rock/Goth music scene. I cannot think of many artists who have as many songs covered by so many different artists, and in so many different genres.

[@krz.mar.4837]

Aaron Aedy + Anneke van Giersbergen + Depeche Mode !!!

[@bike67bymichaelnauth49]

One of the best Depeche Mode covers ever !

[@tomaszmarmulewicz889]

As a true DM fan I've heard a lot of covers but this one stole my heart by its multilayered composition which is so characteristic for DM. I dare to say that being a cover it is a unique and standalone song. I've been subconsciously waiting for such a masterpiece since Rammstein's version of Stripped.

[@an-riv.1162]

Hello Libra, my wife and I are great fans from Depeche Mode. We live in Germany near Berlin. We got goose bumps listening to and watching your video from The Tribute to Depeche Mode It Doesn't Matter Two. We can not say or describe what we were feel. The project is amazing. Thank you and the other artists for this very great version of this song. Please release this cover version on vinyl. We would like to buy it and spend some money to the International Association for Suicide Prevention. Best regards and please stay healthy Rita and Andreas

[@matthiasroth1433]

👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘🇩🇪🇩🇪🇩🇪

[@alexcisotto3007]

Back in '85 I immediately realized this was one of the best tunes of all time. I've finally been proved right...

[@katiemastrogiacomo4659]

all phenomenal, but Eicca Toppinen- WOW !!!!

[@peroon6669]

Maybe the best cover of all times!! Great musicians, great music...tears goes down on my face...thank You very much!!!

[@vogelfrei76]

So many old heroes in something really beautiful ... I've got tears in my eyes.... ♥️🤘

[@methodicalcrime1231]

What a performance. Gahan, gore and flecth would be so proud

[@ArkanhellMagno]

Wilder too! ;) (He was there when the song came to life)

[@methodicalcrime1231]

Omg! Devotees here 🖤

[@johanjohansson7717]

Depeche Mode - that’s all we need

[@jaskierdraven9191]

Love Depeche Mode & Apocalyptica and I love knowing that at least Eicca likes them too. This is awesome! 4:38 absolutely amazing. I love that this is going towards suicide prevention, it's always needed!

[@DannyMi]

Wow wow wow 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I‘m a DM Fan since the beginning of the band. For me it‘s the best cover I‘ve ever heard 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Please make more 🙏🏻

[@mirkonobili7399]

I'm 50 year old and I am a Depeche Mode fan since 1986 (listening for the first time the lp "Black Celebration" which includes the song from this video). Guys, you have created a wonderful work of art, I have lost count of many times I have listened to it again. Guys get together and form a band, your versatility will make you successful. 🤟🙂👍

[@lovesmyway]

I'm a Depeche Mode Devotee - THIS IS UTTERLY AMAZING!!

[@kknoesis]

Αll the great guys gathered ın a great song!!!

[@ravenblackfeather4028]

Does it get anymore Epic than this. What a stellar lineup and such a beautiful rendition of an amazing song by Depeche Mode. Thanks so much Libra and all the artists. You just made my day. What a great cause also to help in Suicide prevention. Bravo🙏❤🤘💀🤘

[@sergejssevcenko4139]

Hello from Riga🇱🇻 I❤️Depeche🌹Mode I💜This🎼Version Thank🎤You

[@SpikeValentine]

This is like the first Goth Metal supergroup ever!

[@Andre.D.Keaton]

The original by Depeche Mode is a MASTERPIECE, and this version is simply MAJESTIC. Thanks to everyone involved... ❤

[@dmrose2758]

It sounds great! Depeche Mode forever! ❤️ Thank you all for this special version! 🙏

[@LiquidxAngel]

As a DM fan first, and foremost (always), I tip my hat to everyone here. I love how you left space for the vocals. That's a point that's often missed. This was beautiful.

[@Serhatoryum]

Great cover 🤘🏻 Depeche Mode is a truly dark band. They may not be extreme, but many of their darker moments can rival many metal bands in terms of feeling.

[@PHermansson]

I'm a big metal fan but I love the Black Celebration album. So much darkness, so many feelings.

[@agaciorek30]

Depeche Mode has been my love for 30 years .Anneke vocal is beauty!Moonspell.Apocalyptica and more... !!!two loves in one .... metal and DM!❤fantastic,beauty cover....❤😊love you guys and thank you for this ❤🤘

[@annadrzynicka]

Wspaniałe wykonanie💓☘️☘️☘️

[@salvatiothemusical8582]

Pleeeeease, do a full album of original material!

[@PlayfulLion]

this is the best thing i have seen since pandemic started. Thank ALL of you guys. love all the bands

[@silviamarques9287]

Best version of Depeche Mode ever!!!

[@corinna007]

Came because I am a huge fan of Eicca and Apocalyptica. (So glad he got a solo. 😁) Amazing cover! Haunting and beautiful, and the charity aspect is wonderful. Great work, everyone! 🤘

[@raquelveloz2481]

I’m generally not a metal fan, but did enjoy this very much. You can really see the love and passion that went into it. Thank you

[@markusdaxamouli5196]

Vaughn George brought me here and wow...BRILLIANT TUNE. More often thsn Not the Original Song stays the best version and Covers just are fair to good but a copy...this is very Different. This is wicked good...yes its a cover, but it was done so in a way that quite frankly I enjoy more at this point than the Original..and as a Alan Wilder Depech Mode fan thats saying allot. The Musicianship and the vocals nailed it. Its unique its very much their own. And dare I say if it came out at same time it would have done better in charts. Very Impressive! Ill be watching and listening for LIBRA. They should be very proud.

[@matheusmartinelli2124]

What an epic collab. Absolutely breath taking - hats off to everyone who did this!

[@RoB_Idfk]

Holy shit, this sounds great 🤘🏻

[@carmensovaila7903]

It does sound great 🖤

[@irgrigo3789]

Superb👌👌👌👌!!!!!!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻(OMG the cellist!!)

[@violator1017]

The feeling was intense, you gripped me with your vid' and then I realized IT REALLY MATTERS !

[@77acki]

Congratulations on the incredibly awesome cover version of "It doesn't Matter Two". There's no better way to show your appreciation for a band. Great respect. More of it.

[@cindy6787]

I see Kenny Hickey and I click! Wow this was phenomenal! Great job everyone!!!!

[@theresist2709]

a devotee honors you ... A really impressive cover from my favorite band ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@catcherintherye1635]

OMG! I'm lost for words. Good job everyone.

[@monbed8665]

I am a fan of DM and I always have concerns about the next covers but I'm very impressed. Amazing effect.

[@warwickhewitt8844]

Epic! You've done great justice and respect in covering this classic DM song

[@pavelkozlov9294]

hello from Russia. great work, thank you

[@Irene_90]

Bow down to every single one of you, I'm speechless in front of this sublime collaboration, because calling it cover, sounds a bit reductive. If in the last year they want to let music and art in general die, until there are people like you that love to do all this, art and music can't and will never die. Thank you so much, from the bottom of my heart.

[@user-du6zs7cm7v]

Thank you so much to all the musicians who created this cover version of the song, it's strong!!

[@suarezale78]

Now i want that Anneke start to sing all Depeche Mode songs..

[@iamcarlosfive]

THIS IS FIRE. Few can cover DM rightly. This is awesome!

[@BrunoSa]

Absolutely amazing! Such a stellar cast, led by a painstakingly visionary artist. The output could be no other than this incredibly reimagined masterpiece! Congratulations, my friend! I feel fortunate to experience it!

[@RedFridayOfficial]

As I die hard DM fan (since 1983) I've always been skeptical of any cover of this brilliant band... this one actually brought me to tears 😢! Absolutely amazing!!! Great work!!

[@strangewordsmusic]

Perfection made from gods of a song written by the best band in the world. Thank you so much 🧛‍♀️🖤🖤

[@jordanmusic82]

Great job from everyone involved, and for a great cause. Thanks to everyone for reaching out during this time!

[@MegaDdub69]

That's one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard. What a great cover!! Well done, everybody involved!!

[@azeiteiro23]

Let's have a black celebration!

[@larscramer9411]

Awesome, just awesome. thank you !

[@Wetti2212]

Great i have teardrops in my eyes

[@janakovacova3532]

I♥️DM... I♥️this song... Best!!! 🌹

[@andreasjunemann1429]

Goosebumps...absolutley amazing......

[@avoinca]

Big DM fan. Wow. In the best of ways...

[@kunstsalonleipzig]

The potential of Martin Gore'e compositions (and lyrics!) is absolutely stunning. Now we have four unbelievable versions of this magnificient song: the original with synthesizers - the live piano version of 2001 - the live country guitar version of 2006 - and now the metal version. Of course noone can compete with Martin's epic and almost transcendent voice. But very well done though, Libra!

[@johnhincapie7702]

Absolutely awesome arrangements with some of most talented musicians in the world. Thank you.

[@StealthFX9]

Lady & gents, thank u for the pleasure! 🤘🏻

[@thomasholler1693]

Unglaublich geil! 🤘🏻 Was man sensationelles aus einem Depeche Mode Song machen kann! DM forever!!!

[@focimer]

"And than I realise it's heavy metal" But without joke, this version is awesome! Thanks for uploading!

[@Verons1990]

One of the most beautiful performances I have heard! Thank you for doing this.

[@nykhlfc6times632]

As a fan of Depeche mode, since i first heard 'Photogaphic' on the some bizzare sampler album. I have always had a keen interest in cover versions of any of their songs, and this version is a very good cover. So thank you Libra.

[@ebiasmusic808]

The song 'Photographic' has basically turned me into a music producer since 80's.

[@susanjensen5787]

Amazing!!! Freaking awesome ...I love it alot...sigh

[@renanwerly3692]

Me: 2021 will be everything okay 2021: libra singing again Also me: :D

[@pawelkucner400]

I haven't heard such a good cover for a long time

[@FadingCanvas]

I've been a metal fan. I've been a Depeche Mode fan. Best DM cover ever. Let Libra produce their next album, I'll be impressed for the first time since Ultra.

[@sudeepk.6960]

For real or let’s see everyone here do a full lp ( to be pressed of other classics goth tracks re done and a full tour I’d love to hear this collective do a full project this one song isn’t enough)

[@FlickanIDetKroktaRummet]

it's pretty hard for men in their 60's to do the best album of all time again, dumbass

[@FadingCanvas]

@@FlickanIDetKroktaRummet Dear friend, Ultra was recorded in 1997, which means they were in their forties at that time.

[@hansh1176]

I'd say this is the only good thing lockdown brought us! Thank you a wonderful interpretation of one of my all time favourites

[@Frozen_Smoke1972]

I'm not usually a big fan of DM covers (lifelong fan, so it's hard to come up to the standard of the originals) but this actually gave me the chills at a couple of points. Very, very well done indeed.

[@LiquidxAngel]

As a lifelong DM fan, I agree. I especially loved that strings to clean vocals beginning.

[@dokijakab]

One of the best Depeche Mode cover with a lot of Gothic icons. Wonderfull!!!

[@renanfelipe5906]

Essa versão dessa música será, pra sempre, uma de minhas músicas preferidas. Trabalho incrível...

[@philmarston9078]

if there is another depeche remix album, this deserves a place on it.

[@angelfoodstudio7619]

Hell - that was amazing. Have loved this song since it was released but this takes it to another level❤️

[@ghastlylife9836]

So happy you people made this!!

[@7hea77icstudio4]

DM deserves all the respect. And about video...well done :))

[@silviamarques9287]

The meaning of a dream come true just got an upgrade! 😍

[@adriantoma9405]

For me too :-) I long waited for a Paradise Lost cover, but this is as you said it, it's an "upgrade" :-)

[@katherineromero6125]

WOW! AMAZING CELLO SOLO!!!!

[@lainelorbera1130]

It such a huge pleasure watch great artist making covers to great bands. Is like at the same time listening them, listening the band and imagine these artists listening the band in their free time (Depeche Mode in this case) and imagine as well Depeche Mode listening back to them...is an endless musical emotion spreading out from all of them. I get very exited with this thought as well when i find people who likes Depeche Mode.

[@wendygibson401]

Absolutely awesome. Some of my favourite bands - Apocalyptica, Paradise Lost etc, playing one of my favourite band's tracks and for such a good cause. Fabulous cover ❤️🖤🤘

[@joshenka00]

DM is my first love and hard rock is the second one. All together is a perfect combination!

[@hugoleonardo148]

What a team!!!!

[@sudeepk.6960]

This version is perfect

[@joshenka00]

God, why there's no "1 000 000 likes" option????

[@grungefan100]

Make this a touring supergroup post lockdown, imagine some of the absolute misery a song from these bunch could bring!

[@13eighteen]

Amen

[@ricardocortes4258]

Es una versión espectacular me encantó ,soy fans de Depeche Mode...es un placer ver y oír estos tributos con respeto y manteniendo el espíritu original de la canción... gracias Libra !!!!

[@IASPinfo]

Thank you so much for raising funds for suicide prevention during the global lockdown, we truly appreciate it. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted all aspects of people’s lives - the world over - and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future, so it is vital that mental health and suicide prevention awareness remain priorities.
