Fragile Tension [Peter Bjorn and John Remix]Depeche Mode

Released: December 7, 2009

Songwriter: Martin L. Gore

Producer: Ben Hillier

[Verse 1: Dave Gahan]
There's a fragile tension
That’s keeping us going
It may not last forever
But oh well it's flowing

[Verse 2: Dave Gahan, (Martin L. Gore)]
There's a strange obsession
That’s drawing us nearer (It's something mystical, it's so magical in the air)
We don't understand it
It never gets clearer (It's so simplistic it kicks and screams Something so tragic we have to care)

[Verse 1: Dave Gahan]
There's a fragile tension
That's keeping us going
It may not last forever
But oh well it's flowing

[Verse 3: Dave Gahan, (Martin L. Gore)]
There’s a dizzying feeling
That’s keeping us flying (It's something mystical, it’s so magical in the air)
Some glittering gauntlet
Without even trying (It's so simplistic it kicks and screams Something so tragic we have to care)

[Bridge: Dave Gahan]
All we will seem to reek on the edge of collapse
Nothing can keep us down
All we will seem to reek on the edge of collapse
Nothing can keep us down

[Instrumental Outro]

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.
