“We spoke to people that felt a little different, the ones with way too much eyeliner, the ones in schools that were bullied or had to run home. We were the odd ones and we embraced that, because that’s kind of who we were as well, growing up.” That’s what Dave Gahan said in 2017 about who Depeche Mode fans are. One year ago tonight was the last time I saw DM in the United States, and the last time in the US I sang my heart out at a DM show with my fellow misfits. That night will also forever be known as the night Martin Gore sang “The Things You Said” live for the first time in nearly 30 years—it hadn’t been performed since the legendary 101 concert at the Rose Bowl in 1988. You could have heard a pin drop in that stadium when MLG sang, “I get so carried away, you brought me down to earth. I thought we had something precious, now I know what it’s worth.” I don’t know if I’ll ever hear him sing it again live, or see this band again, or see it with my dear friends, my fellow folks who are “different.” But the moments captured in these photos and videos... they’re proof I experienced something precious, and I know what it’s worth. #depechemode #davegahan #martingore #concert #globalspirittour #anaheim #blackandwhite #depechemodefans #thethingsyousaid https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxy7isMgMI7/?igshid=1sknlmauvc7u8

Happy 30th birthday to #depechemode's #musicforthemasses which was released this day in 1987. One of their best and most popular albums it launched them as a stadium act in #northAmerica as the accompanying tour in 1988 climaxed with a massive show at the #rosebowl in #Pasadena, documented in their film #depechemode101. #neverletmedownagain #behindthewheel #strangelove #thethingsyousaid #davegahan #andyfletcher #martingore #alanwilder #music #80s

🎶#TheThingsYouSaid 🎶#DepecheMode 📣 My little version of this classic song, written and performed by #MartinGore on the #DM album #MusicForTheMasses Lots of very special memories attached to this song, and even though it's not perfect by any stretch, I wanted to have a go of it. Link to full version in bio! #yyj #yyjmusic #80s #indieartist #indiemusic #instamusic #musicmonday #mondaymotivation #coversong #musicvideo #musically #lovesong #sadsong #strangemusic #electronicmusic #vancouverisland #vanisle #westcoastmusic #canadianmusician #instadaily (at Victoria, British Columbia) https://www.instagram.com/p/BumJ83Uh0S_/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1uhq7x57d5f4k

I smiled this smile cos I was standing next to Martin Gore of Depeche Mode. It was disturbing today to read that a Voldemort was trying to claim DM and say they're the patron saint of racist antisemites. We know facts don't matter to white supremacists but this dude must have never listened to a Depeche song. I fell in love with DM as a teen cos the music was great, but moreso because the songs written by Martin Gore spoke to me, a lonely, awkward, biracial misfit. Just listen to #peoplearepeople #getthebalanceright or even #thethingsyousaid which is essentially an anti-bullying song. Then you meet the other fans who DM songs spoke to, and then one day in 2011 you meet Martin Gore and his kindness to fans and his humility shine thru. So here's to the band that continue to write the soundtrack of my life. #wherestherevolution #tbt #depechemode #martingoreisthebombdizzle #martingore #dm #blackisbeautiful #music #dressedinblack #justice #unity #smile

“I thought we had something precious. Now I know what it’s worth.” I have been waiting 30 years to hear Martin Gore sing this song. These lyrics in particular. I had tears streaming down my cheeks and I am not exaggerating when I say I thought I might faint. What is it like to have written (and be singing) a song this meaningful? #depechemode #ilovedepechemode #thethingsyousaid #martingore #martingoreisthebombdizzle #globalspirittour2018 #musicforthemasses (at Honda Center)
