[Chorus: Dave Gahan]
I
I
I feel loved
I feel loved

[Chorus: Dave Gahan]
I feel loved
I feel loved

[Interlude: Dave Gahan]
Taking hold
Trembling
Suffering
Whispering
Beckoning
Trembling

[Verse 1: Dave Gahan]
It's the dark night of my soul
And temptation's taking hold
But through the pain and the suffering
Through the heartache and trembling
Trembling, trembling, trembling, trembling, trembling, trembling, trembling, trembling

[Interlude]
Trembling
Suffering
Beckoning
Whispering

[Verse 2: Dave Gahan]
As the darkness closes in
In my head I hear whispering
Questioning and beckoning
But I'm not taken in
Taken in, taken in, taken in, taken in, taken in, taken in, taken in, taken in

[Interlude]

[Chorus: Dave Gahan]
I feel loved
I feel loved

[Interlude]

[Verse 3: Dave Gahan]
From the depths of my emptiness
Comes a feeling of inner bliss
I feel wanted, I feel desired
I can feel my soul on fire
Fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire, fire

[Chorus: Dave Gahan]
I feel loved
I feel loved
I feel loved
I feel loved
Loved, loved, loved, loved, loved

[Chorus: Dave Gahan]
I
I
I feel loved
I feel loved

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.
