The Landscape Is ChangingDepeche Mode

Released: August 22, 1983

Songwriter: Alan Wilder

Producer: Depeche Mode Daniel Miller

[Verse 1]
The landscape is changing, the landscape is crying
Thousands of acres of forest are dying
Carbon copies from the hills above the forest line
Acid streams are flowing ill across the countryside

[Chorus]
'Cause I don't care if you're going nowhere
Just take good care of the world
I don't care if you're going nowhere
Just take good care of the world

[Verse 2]
Now we're re-arranging, there's no use denying
Mountains and valleys, can't you hear them sighing?
Evolution, the solution or the certainty
Can you imagine this intrusion of their privacy?

[Chorus]
'Cause I don't care if you're going nowhere
Just take good care of the world
I don't care if you're going nowhere
Just take good care of the world

[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
Token gestures, some semblance of intelligence
Can we be blamed for the security of ignorance

[Chorus]
'Cause I don't care if you're going nowhere
Just take good care of the world
I don't care if you're going nowhere
Just take good care of the world

[Outro]
I don't care if you're going nowhere
Just take good care of the world

Depeche Mode

Depeche Mode are recognized as one of the most artistically influential bands of the late 20th century. Commercially, they have released 14 studio albums to date, and sold more than 100 million records. Their most recent album, Spirit, hit the streets in March 2017.

The band got their start in Basildon, Essex in 1980, and named themselves after a French fashion magazine. They rose to fame with hits that have become “Just Can’t Get Enough” (1981), “Everything Counts” (1983), and “People Are People” (1984), to name a few. One of their most famous concerts was at the Pasadena Rose Bowl in 1988.

Martin Gore has been the band’s primary songwriter since Vince Clarke left in the early 1980s (and went on to form Yazoo and Erasure). Alan Wilder replaced Clarke on keyboards in 1982, but left in 1995 (reinvesting his creative energy in his band, Recoil, which he had started in 1986). Since then, the band has comprised frontman Dave Gahan, multi-instrumentalist Martin Gore, and keyboardist Andy Fletcher—all of whom are original members.
