as someone who grew up in early 2000s but had parents who grew up late 70s and early 80s, I had to listen to this music all the time when I was little but iâm glad they put me on cause I really do like this music and it brings back my childhood even though I didnât grow up when they were releasing the music
Yes very early depeche mode. Their sound became alot more industrial. This was early electronic music. Yazoo and Alison Moyet was just after this. One of the original members left and formed yazoo.
Speak And Spell is my favorite Depeche mode album. I saw them live on their first tour at the Roxy in Hollywood..... Vince Clarke had just left the band and his part was played by a large reel to reel tape recorder set on a bar stool. I saw Duran Duran in the same club that same year on THEIR first tour
And one of the Geniuses behind this tune sadly Passed away a few weeks ago the Guy who was there right from the start back in 1980 " Andy Fletcher also known as Fletch " so sad we will never see the likes of his Genius again đ„đ„đ„đđđ
Love this track. A good dance floor filler followed by Tainted Love by Soft Cell, Hard Times from the Human league, Cars fro Gary Numan and Enola Gay from OMD.
That was a fun reaction ,guys ! .. I absolutely LOVED the New Wave era of music, so yes please, give me more of it ."Cause I just can't get enough ! ... ( PS - The keyboard player Vince Clarke, went on to form the duo Yazoo after this, with the amazing singer Alison Moyet .. Please check out their wonderful "Only You" or "Don't Go" )
@@MrAmc1291 Don't really know much of Erasure's work .. But I love their song "Oh L'Amour", which was very popular over here in Australia .. Vince Clarke is clearly a musical genius with an undeniable ability to compose catchy, melodic songs and riffs.
As someone who grew up in the 80s, this song to me is the quintessential 80s, from the sound to the way they dance, it's exactly what it was to be in the 80s.
Ok Brad&Lex, imagine you grew up listening to 70s rock(hard, heavy, Prog, southern) but as you enter your senior year high school in the 80s, all the radio stations and dances are playing this music. Definitely refreshing and new.
Love Depeche Mode!! So many good trax from this early period, i.e. People are People, Get the Balance Right, Master and ServantâŠcanât go wrong with DM. Iconic.
I think I'm the same age as your mom, Lex, and I remember hitting the floor at New Wave clubs as soon as this was played. For this 60-year old, it sounds as great as ever.
One of their synth-pop songs, i enjoy the more industrial stuff like 'People are people' more. But nice to hear it again, makes me feel young again, take care.
Truly a classic! First DM song I ever heard, which sent me down their ever spiraling rabbit hole that was a cornerstone of my youth, that still exist in part today. RIP Andy
Vince Clarke was an early member and is here on the keyboards. He went on to form Yazoo and ultimately Erasure with Andy Bell. Worth checking them out!
You just have to move to this song...a pure classic 80's track....happiness and joy! 'See you' by Depeche Mode was another great song with so many memories..
New wave/post-punk. Dance-punk. Punk music that you can dance to, with a little synthesizers. Sometimes a little melancholy yet upbeat. lol Lex understands the vibes. Brad, too. We were kids/teens during the '80s. We (GenX) had to stay happy some way. We were going through a Cold War! lol Lex needs to check out groups like Altered Images, Berlin, New Order, Kim Wilde, etc. She'll like them. New wave was at it's peak mostly during the '80s. Started around the late '70s, and into the early '90s. There is still music like this, but as Lex stated onto other sub genres like EDM and others. But also modern day Post punk/new wave/indie rock groups like Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Metric, Bloc Party, Santigold, The Killers, etc.
Great DM song! It reminds me of when I was in my 20s. I was a Headbanger but when I went to a New Wave club, this song brought everyone to the dance floor, including me! Lex, you would fit in any decade of music, but you would have loved being in the 80s. It was such a diverse decade of original music! Keep Rockin'!!! đ€
Big flashbacks with this one .....some 35 years later and it still stands up....great song. Perfect follow up,as other comments have said,would be Only You by Yazoo. Hits you in the feels.
Keep GROOVIN', Lex! You lift my mood whenever you're enjoying the song. Brad, remember when you pretended to be Lex? My jaw dropped, it was a beautiful thing! đ„° Love ya both!đ
Thatâs right Lex! Love how you give the advice to Brad to relax and just let go and let the music take you! You have the best attitude and approach. Itâs written all over your smiling face. Music is to be enjoyed and you definitely get that! đ
Great reaction - 80s New Wave music was ALL about dancing, and going clubbing was HUGE, the dancing was was kind of weird looking, but fun AF!! Just let your body go/move Brad, you know you want to! And yes, chair/couch dancing is a real thing. :)
Back in the early 80s in Cali...a Mexican restaurant (El Paso Cantina) would push all the tables back and have "new wave tuesdays" dance music...all the synthpop bands would be played...
One of my favourite 80's and Depeche Mode songs. I was in my 20's then. Great times unlike today. Edit: Written by Vince Clarke [of Depeche Mode/Yazoo [Yaz] and Erasure fame].
Wow!! This was a real vibe back in the days!! I was young in the eighties and we just loved it!! Big hit in Sweden were I come from!! So happy that you reacted to this!! Took me back in time!! My nineteen year old daughter wondered what I was doing dancing along to this with my headphones on....I'm 56...đđ€Łđ
EDM has been going since the 70s so they were one of the EDM pioneers, bands like this took EDM and made it more chart friendly although Depeche Mode were like the Goths of EDM...
This is DM's first real "hit" song, from their very first album. It's a little simple, but still a fun intro. Love your DM reactions. Y'all really need to do STRANGELOVE 88, an epic song. Question of Lust is my all time fav DM song.
Quality, per usual. When Brad smiles for real and Lex giggles, you know it's gonna be fun. Been having a good day, so let's keep it going. Thank you guys.
Knew it was only a matter of time until you got around to this absolute Banger. Kraftwerk, The Human League and a few others may have come slightly before DM but for me this was the track that truly popularised electronic synth music. DM have moved so far away from this tinny basic sounding pop and they're almost embarrassed to play it live these days but it's still a great pop song that defines the early 80s period for me. Love that you chose this iconic DM tune and love that Lex loves DM so much đđ€
Another great DM song which they always play live and i recommend is "Never Let Me down Again" or " World In My Eyes which is also upbeat. DM is often referred to as the godfathers of EDM music by many dj's
Lex was so very close on this one. It's an uncle or aunt of EDM, but they followed the true origins like Kraftwerk. Early OMD was a predecessor, and a direct influence. But DM was in on that early MTV Euro New Wave run...
Thank you guys for continuing to make me smile...it's honestly noble work to uplift people, so kudos to you both and may the energy you give to others come back to you ten fold! âđŒ
Nice. This is early DM, with the original lineup. Honestly though, it was this single song that started the entire 80's synth/dance/new wave/alternate movement. Without this track, all the 80's and 90's would have been very different. Hope you dig it.
I think thatâs a bit of an overstatement. If you must choose a single synth-pop track as the progenitor of so many genres, Donât you want me by The Human League is probably a better choice. In any case, new wave came from punk and was already well-established by this point while alternative (rock) evolved from post-punk (rock) music, not New Romantic pop.
Well, there were bands like Kraftwerk, Duran Duran, Sparks, Visage, Talking Heads. It's hard to credit one song with starting the popularity of synth pop. If any one band should get credit for synth pop, it should be Kraftwerk.
This song reminds me of a 80's group called "Yaz or Yazoo". The album was "Upstairs At Eric's". "Situation" & "Don't Go" were 80's night club dance hits. Great for 80's playlist.
Our goth girl Lex enjoying some DM, for all you diehard DM Devotees, check out Depeche Mode - Just Can't Get Enough Schizo Mix for some really trance'ish feel to this classic.
Since Lex enjoys them so much, she owes it to herself to watch "Depeche Mode - Enjoy The Silence (Live in Berlin)" here on CZcams. I never really gave them a listen. But, after that video, I've became a fan.
LOVE this song,and great that you guys did a reaction on this one, I think,,a music stile and song that you may not be too familiar with=? It was in the early 80s this,the very early 80s and it was I believe mostly or only European...syntheziser music was very in fashion back then,with groups like Depeche Mode and Eurythmics to name some of the more noteworthy of the style of music...and I love it...this I think is their best one..
There it is, another massive hit written by Vince Clarke. I can't remember if you did any reaction to Yazoo or Erasure; Vince was founder of both duos as well. In case you didn't... It's time! + Yazoo: Nobody's Diary Situation Don't Go Midnight Sweet Thing Walk Away From Love + Erasure: Sometimes Oh L'Amour Always A Little Respect Take a Chance On Me (so fun - and hillarious video - ABBA cover) Lay All Your Love On Me (so fun - and hillarious video - ABBA cover)
If you enjoy Depeche Mode, you'd probably love the band, Art of Noise. Their songs like "Beat Box" and "Theme from Peter Gunn" (among many others) brought a lot of 'happy' to the 80s dance scene.
Definitely sounds 1982- 1983.. Love it. So much great new wave music from thar period.. much more to check out.. Thomas Dolby, "Europa and The Pirate Twins", Real Life, "Send Me An Angel", Missing Persons, "Destination Unknown ", OMD, New Order , " Perfect Kiss", the list is long..
Nice. Instant Fun. An early DM favorite for me was Shout (Rio MIx), which is why we bought EPs back then. So from around more of less the same time for you to add to the playlist: the Buzzcocks (Everybody's Happy Nowadays ...or Orgasm Addict if you dare), Gang of Four (I Love a Man in a Uniform and Natural is Not in It), Our Daughter's Wedding (Target for Life), Cowboys International (Trash), Bush Tetras (Can't Be Funky), Random Hold (Avalanche), Classix Nouveaux (Every Home Should Have One), Mission of Burma (That's When I Reach for My Revolver), The Call (Turn a Blind Eye)
Good song...this was before they got their nickname of "depressed mode". Really good band...there are a few live vids on CZcams also that are excellent
Hi,you two x, I from England, Nottingham. A member from the band was from Nottingham and died recently. Our ,soccer song has always been, I just can't get enough x
oh my word such great memories, Hammersmith Odeon crowd going crazy when the band sparked up with this and mid way through Dave Gahan stopped to tell the security in the balcony to politely piss off as they were telling people to sit down lol. he told them that these people had come to dance, the place went wild and the security retreated. they were soo cool.
as a teenager in the 80s you simply did not realize how good that era was. Every night you guys help me re-live my childhood. Thanks
100%
Music and TV yes but things were alot worse
Yup this was a replay song at every party with my teenage classmates.
as someone who grew up in early 2000s but had parents who grew up late 70s and early 80s, I had to listen to this music all the time when I was little but iâm glad they put me on cause I really do like this music and it brings back my childhood even though I didnât grow up when they were releasing the music
I was a teenager in the late 80âsâŠ90âs alternative-grunge era was better đ
Yes very early depeche mode. Their sound became alot more industrial. This was early electronic music. Yazoo and Alison Moyet was just after this. One of the original members left and formed yazoo.
Speak And Spell is my favorite Depeche mode album. I saw them live on their first tour at the Roxy in Hollywood..... Vince Clarke had just left the band and his part was played by a large reel to reel tape recorder set on a bar stool. I saw Duran Duran in the same club that same year on THEIR first tour
Yes, Yazoo's Don't go. Alison Moyet's voice is amazing. She's great on her own too.
And one of the Geniuses behind this tune sadly Passed away a few weeks ago the Guy who was there right from the start back in 1980 " Andy Fletcher also known as Fletch " so sad we will never see the likes of his Genius again đ„đ„đ„đđđ
Yes i love Yazoo dont go and some of Alison Moyets songs .
@@saucyempress9803 " Can't see how they can go on now as a Band without Fletch he was the Backbone of the Band "
The 80s rocked. Still miss it. The music, the movies. Everything was so awesome
Still waiting for another Decade like it !
@@xoxxobob61 your going to wait for about a million years because it'll never happen again
Yep, we had it so good it was silly. 1984 in particular was fire on many levels.
Don't forget the saturday morning cartoons and toys.
The absolute BEST decade ever!!!!!
Lex totally gets the whole new wave attitude :) 100%
Just can't get enough of Depeche Mode...which is good because they have an incredible catalogue of great songs.
Classic early 80s New Wave at it's best with Depeche Mode.
Love this track. A good dance floor filler followed by Tainted Love by Soft Cell, Hard Times from the Human league, Cars fro Gary Numan and Enola Gay from OMD.
NIIIICE! That IS an awesome 80s club dance line up!
Have you seen the NiN (Nine Inch Nails) live cover of "Cars" with Gary Numan on stage? It's a fantastic cover and Gary still sounds brilliant!
TRUTH!
Yup!! They would play this type of music at the gay clubs⊠đł. . so Iâve heard đ
@@stever507 In the â80âs, the first rule of gay clubs was that you didnât talk about gay clubs. Societyâs closet door was still firmly shut.
Just one of the best pop songs of the early synth era - love it
That was a fun reaction ,guys ! .. I absolutely LOVED the New Wave era of music, so yes please, give me more of it ."Cause I just can't get enough ! ... ( PS - The keyboard player Vince Clarke, went on to form the duo Yazoo after this, with the amazing singer Alison Moyet .. Please check out their wonderful "Only You" or "Don't Go" )
Vince also started Erasure with Andy Bell.

ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!!đđđđ
I grew up with this music in my high school years and after but the younger generations may remember this from an Old Navy ad on the TV of course.
Rip Fletch...thx guys for the reaction ...keep going with DM ...40yrs worth of music!
I think I'm the same age as your mom, Lex, and I remember hitting the floor at New Wave clubs as soon as this was played. For this 60-year old, it sounds as great as ever.
Definitely have to catch the wave with the 80âs synth pop. If you miss it, itâs never too late to catch again lol.
1986, Jones Beach, NY. My first concert and I remember it vividly. What a great band that to this day makes me bounce and sing along!
Brad & Lex, youâll love their "Everything Counts"!!
In large amounts?
@@luthierjustin1 yes!
That seals the contract for me
Oh yes, another one of my all-time favs of theirs!
In Korea...
One of their synth-pop songs, i enjoy the more industrial stuff like 'People are people' more. But nice to hear it again, makes me feel young again, take care.
Yay! More Depeche Mode đ€ My all time favorite band! Listen to Blasphemous Rumours. It's very deep and sad song but so so good.
I fuggin love this song
Truly a classic! First DM song I ever heard, which sent me down their ever spiraling rabbit hole that was a cornerstone of my youth, that still exist in part today. RIP Andy
I cannot even tell you how many times I danced to this in High School or at dance clubs. I LOVE New Wave. You must get a playlist Lex!
so so many fantastic alternative/new wave songs from the 80s
I love how Lex is getting into one of my favourite songs!
Ty, authentic reaction. Hilarious. Hugs from Sweden.
this track started a whole genre and style.. that's how important DM are.
Classic early synth pop. Brilliant.
Vince Clarke was an early member and is here on the keyboards. He went on to form Yazoo and ultimately Erasure with Andy Bell. Worth checking them out!
Yes, Yazoo's don't go.
This music was written by Vince Clarke, it goes in line with what he went to do after with Yazzoo and Erasure. He have a very distinctive sound.
You just have to move to this song...a pure classic 80's track....happiness and joy! 'See you' by Depeche Mode was another great song with so many memories..
"EDM's grandpa"! You got it!
New wave/post-punk. Dance-punk.
Punk music that you can dance to, with a little synthesizers. Sometimes a little melancholy yet upbeat. lol Lex understands the vibes. Brad, too. We were kids/teens during the '80s.

New wave in the 90s? By the late 80s the wave/post-punk bands were alternative/âmodernâ rock while the synth groups had gone full disco.
I went to uni in the 80âsâŠ. the music was so amazing and yes, every weekend was at a bar dancing until close!
Love how Lex is really into it. Smile all the way through đ
Great DM song! It reminds me of when I was in my 20s. I was a Headbanger but when I went to a New Wave club, this song brought everyone to the dance floor, including me!

Perfect follow up,as other comments have said,would be Only You by Yazoo.
Hits you in the feels.
This song came out over 40 years ago. It is still wonderful!
I have to mention that I watched your Reaction to Mother and it brought a tear to my eye, having your mom there was perfect đ€©
got this on 12" vinyl, love it and have done since it came out
Finally , been waiting for this one !!
I love Depeche mode my brothers seen than so many times
Lex bopping always makes me smile love from a baking hot England đŹđ§ x
Depeche mode sounds exactly like their album in concert... If anybody goes and sees Depeche mode in concert you will never be disappointed..
Hearing Lex's giggles, I remembered Brad's impersonation of Lex, that was epic
Ouuuh this was my youth!! Thank you sooo much for reacting đđđ
Brad i hope you understand how lucky you are to have such a wonderful woman to live your life with.
Keep GROOVIN', Lex! You lift my mood whenever you're enjoying the song. Brad, remember when you pretended to be Lex? My jaw dropped, it was a beautiful thing! đ„° Love ya both!đ

Wow!! This was a real vibe back in the days!! I was young in the eighties and we just loved it!! Big hit in Sweden were I come from!!
So happy that you reacted to this!!
Took me back in time!!

looks like Lex just cant get enough of this song
Blasphemous rumours is EPIC. You will hear how more industrial and heavier their sound starts to become.
The album version with the dark ending. IMO, Some Great Reward was their best album.
They did kind of go darkwave during the late '80s and '90s.
This is DM's first real "hit" song, from their very first album. It's a little simple, but still a fun intro. Love your DM reactions. Y'all really need to do STRANGELOVE 88, an epic song. Question of Lust is my all time fav DM song.
Stories Of Old, Somebody, and Waiting For The Night are up in my favorites.
@@badkitty4922 Somebody is probably a close-second for me, but Question of Lust is just my absolute fav. I have a thing for Martin on lead vocals.
@@redsmoker37 that's one of the reasons I love Somebody and Waiting For The Night. I had the latter on their 101 double cassette.
Lex animates all the music, she's such a cool person
This song has never not been awesome. More Depeche Mode, please!
Lex's smile during this song says it all. She is an 80s new wave girl through and through.
Quality, per usual. When Brad smiles for real and Lex giggles, you know it's gonna be fun. Been having a good day, so let's keep it going. Thank you guys.

Nice to not only pick the most famous or sucessful ones, but really look at different facets of artists and groups.
Another great DM song which they always play live and i recommend is "Never Let Me down Again" or " World In My Eyes which is also upbeat. DM is often referred to as the godfathers of EDM music by many dj's
Lex was so very close on this one. It's an uncle or aunt of EDM, but they followed the true origins like Kraftwerk. Early OMD was a predecessor, and a direct influence. But DM was in on that early MTV Euro New Wave run...
YESSS!!! YOu are so right LEX!!! "My body is moving, so casual, I'm sooo cool I can't help it". Am Voting for Lex as reactor of the year
I JUST CAN'T SEEM TO GET ENOUGH OF....... LEX â€â€â€
RIP Fletch....there first trax from the days when he both played and wore a weird hat.
I don't want to dance but my body is making me dance... awesome đ
Get on that dance floor, love your reactions
love how you guys are sneaking those little sideways glances at each other ;)
I love how much joy Lex is getting from the song !
Loved early DM. Still remember seeing them in Leeds and Sheffield in 1981 and 1982, (yes the first ones with Vince!)
every hard core punk or heavy metal dude had a Depeche mode tape ..all the women loved it and we did too
Love the reaction
This song done the same to many of us when first released.
Still sounds good to me in 22.

Pure Magic! Dancefloor Filler..........
This song reminds me of a 80's group called "Yaz or Yazoo". The album was "Upstairs At Eric's". "Situation" & "Don't Go" were 80's night club dance hits. Great for 80's playlist.
Lex that is a good assessment of my gen X. To damn cool to give a damn about being cool. "Man you're cool." "Ya, who cares."
Our goth girl Lex enjoying some DM, for all you diehard DM Devotees, check out Depeche Mode - Just Can't Get Enough Schizo Mix for some really trance'ish feel to this classic.

80s disco staple, when you're not already in the dance floor when this blares you'd have no space if you're not fast enough to go
Before my time by 4 years. My older female cousin in Chicago listened to this!!
There it is, another massive hit written by Vince Clarke. I can't remember if you did any reaction to Yazoo or Erasure; Vince was founder of both duos as well. In case you didn't... It's time!
+ Yazoo:
Nobody's Diary
Situation
Don't Go
Midnight
Sweet Thing
Walk Away From Love
+ Erasure:
Sometimes
Oh L'Amour
Always
A Little Respect
Take a Chance On Me (so fun - and hillarious video - ABBA cover)
Lay All Your Love On Me (so fun - and hillarious video - ABBA cover)
This song combined with Lex's joy made my day
If you enjoy Depeche Mode, you'd probably love the band, Art of Noise. Their songs like "Beat Box" and "Theme from Peter Gunn" (among many others) brought a lot of 'happy' to the 80s dance scene.
You might enjoy their collaboration with Tom Jones, doing Prince's Kiss.
Art of Noise with the Buggles guy.
So In Love, too.
KROQ was all over this scene in the 80's - The Smiths, Erasure, DM, The Cure, Yaz, Devo, Boingo, B52's, New Order, Bronski Beat etc
What a great group of bands!
Talking Heads, Romeo Void, Missing Person, too I bet
Definitely sounds 1982- 1983.. Love it. So much great new wave music from thar period.. much more to check out.. Thomas Dolby, "Europa and The Pirate Twins", Real Life, "Send Me An Angel", Missing Persons, "Destination Unknown ", OMD, New Order , " Perfect Kiss", the list is long..
go from this to personal jesus
depeche mode is fantastically versatile and just sonically delicious
Oh come on Brad...when you were mimicking Lex a couple of videos ago, you definitely had the moves!!
đâ€đ
Nice. Instant Fun. An early DM favorite for me was Shout (Rio MIx), which is why we bought EPs back then. So from around more of less the same time for you to add to the playlist: the Buzzcocks (Everybody's Happy Nowadays ...or Orgasm Addict if you dare), Gang of Four (I Love a Man in a Uniform and Natural is Not in It), Our Daughter's Wedding (Target for Life), Cowboys International (Trash), Bush Tetras (Can't Be Funky), Random Hold (Avalanche), Classix Nouveaux (Every Home Should Have One), Mission of Burma (That's When I Reach for My Revolver), The Call (Turn a Blind Eye)
Lex seems to manage to make dance moves throughout the song without sweating buckets all over the couch like Brad! đ°
Good song...this was before they got their nickname of "depressed mode". Really good band...there are a few live vids on CZcams also that are excellent
Depressed MoodâŠ
Hi,you two x, I from England, Nottingham. A member from the band was from Nottingham and died recently. Our ,soccer song has always been, I just can't get enough x
LOL, Lex has this wonderful, endearing kookiness about her. đ đ
You have to watch them live. Lead singer Dave Gahan's moves are Legendary!
Itâs the kind of song you kind of like even though everything tells you you shouldnt. I love it.
Everything Counts, Shake the Disease and Behind the Wheel would be great to react to also.
oh my word such great memories, Hammersmith Odeon crowd going crazy when the band sparked up with this and mid way through Dave Gahan stopped to tell the security in the balcony to politely piss off as they were telling people to sit down lol. he told them that these people had come to dance, the place went wild and the security retreated. they were soo cool.
â€ïž NEW WAVE â€ïž Depeche Mode was one of my favorite groupâs !!!! (The music style was called new wave)
