Dream On [Single Version]Depeche Mode

Released: April 23, 2001

Songwriter: Martin L. Gore

Producer: Mark Bell

[Verse 1: Dave Gahan]
As your boney fingers close around me
Long and spindly, death becomes me
Heaven, can you see what I see?
Hey, you pale and sickly child
You're death and living reconciled
Been walking home a crooked mile

[Pre-Chorus 1: Dave Gahan]
Paying debt to karma
You party for a living
What you take won't kill you
But careful what you're given

[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
Can you feel a little love?
Can you feel a little love?
Dream on, dream on

[Verse 2: Dave Gahan]
There's no time for hesitating
Pain is ready, pain is waiting
Primed to do it's educating
Unwanted, uninvited kin
It creeps beneath your crawling skin
It lives without, it lives within you

[Pre-Chorus 2: Dave Gahan]
Feel the fever coming
You're shaking and twitching
You can scratch all over
But that won't stop you itching

[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
Can you feel a little love?
Can you feel a little love?
Dream on, dream on

[Interlude]

[Verse 3: Dave Gahan]
Blame it on your karmic curse
Or shame upon the universe
It knows its lines, it's well-rehearsed
It sucked you in, it dragged you down
To where there is no hallowed ground
Where holiness is never found

[Pre-Chorus 1: Dave Gahan]
Paying debt to karma
You party for a living
What you take won't kill you
But careful what you're given

[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
Can you feel a little love?
Can you feel a little love?
Dream on, dream on

[Chorus: Dave Gahan & Martin L. Gore]
Can you feel a little love?
Can you feel a little love?
Dream on, dream on

[Outro: Dave Gahan]
Dream on, dream on

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.
