[Verse 1: Dave Gahan]
If you want control without any pain
How long will you suffer?
How long will you reign?
You see, the friend that I knew
He cannot be found
Replaced by another wearing his crown

[Verse 2: Dave Gahan]
There's a place where I go without any sound
Only you can reach me
Only you're allowed
And you're so far away
You're so far from here
Do you remember a time without tears?

[Chorus 1: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
When you're falling
I will catch you
You don't have to fall that far
You can make it
I will be there
You were broken from the start

[Verse 3: Dave Gahan]
When you were a child
You'd dream all day long
You'd dream of the future
Get lost in your songs
Now that time is gone
It's lost for you now
Words long forgotten
Forgotten somehow

[Chorus 2: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
When you're falling
I will catch you
You don't have to fall that far
You can make it
I will be there
You were broken from the start

When you're falling
I will catch you
You don't have to fall that far
You can make it
I will be there
You were broken from the start

When you're falling
I will catch you
You don't have to fall that far
You can make it
I will be there
You were broken from the start

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.
