certificated in the US and Germany. The song won Best British Single at the 1991
BRIT Awards. "Enjoy the Silence" was re-released as a single in 2004
for the Depeche Mode remix project Remixes 81–04, and was titled "Enjoy
the Silence (Reinterpreted)" or, more simply, "Enjoy the Silence 04".
Depeche
Mode(/dəˌpɛʃ-,diː-,dɪ-/) are an English electronic music band formed in Basildon,
Essex in 1980. The group as of now consists of a trio of Dave Gahan (lead
vocals and co-songwriting), Martin Gore(keyboards, guitar, co-lead vocals and
main songwriting), and Andy Fletcher (keyboards).
Depeche
Mode released their debut álbum Speak & Spell in 1981, bringing the band
onto the British new wave scene. Founding member Vince Clarke left after the
release of the album; they recorded A Broken Frame as a trio. Gore took over as
main songwriter and, later in 1982, Alan Wilder replaced Clarke, establishing a
lineup that continued for 13 years.
The
band's last albums of the 1980s, Black Celebration and Music for the Masses,
established them as a dominant force within the electronic music scene. A
highlight of this era was the band's June 1988 concert at the Pasadena Rose
Bowl, where they drew a crowd in excess of 60,000 people. In early 1990, they
released Violator, an international mainstream success. The following album, Songs
of Faith and Devotion, released in 1993, was also a success, though internal
struggles within the band during recording and touring resulted in Wilder's
departure in 1995.
Depeche
Mode has had 54 songs in the UK Singles Chart and 17 top 10 albums in the UK
chart; they have sold more than 100 million records worldwide. Q included the
band in the list of the "50 Bands That Changed the World!". Depeche
Mode also ranks number 98 on VH1's "100 Greatest Artists of All
Time". In December 2016, Billboard named Depeche Mode the 10th most
successful dance club artist of all time. They were nominated for induction
into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2017 and 2018, and will be inducted as
part of the Class of 2020.
Words
like violence
Break the silence
Come crashing in
Into my little world
Painful to me
Pierce right through me
Can't you understand
Oh my little girl
All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm
Vows are spoken
To be broken
Feelings are intense
Words are trivial
Pleasures remain
So does the pain
Words are meaningless
And forgettable
All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm
All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm
[x2]
Enjoy the silence.
