I can hear your soul crying
Listen to your spirit sighing
I can feel your desperation
Emotional deprivation

Let yourself go
Let yourself go
Let your feelings show

Picking up the conversation
Deep in your imagination
Tune into the lonely voices
Talking of their only choices

Let yourself go
Let yourself go
Let your spirit grow

Step out of your cage
And onto the stage
It's time to start
Playing your part
Freedom awaits
Open the gates
Open your mind
Freedom's a state

I can taste the tears falling
The bitterness inside you calling
Yearning for a liberation
Emotional emancipation

Let yourself go
Let yourself go
Let your senses overflow

Step out of your cage
And onto the stage
It's time to start
Playing your part
Freedom awaits
Open the gates
Open your mind
Freedom's a state

Were you just talking to yourself?
When this song ends I always have a feeling that I'm left in some windy desert, alone, with just tumbleweed passing by.
DM are just reliable & always deliver, their mode. Love ‘em!

The only radio I know that would play the 'other' cuts on the albums, of any album

I think you're being too kind.  I've never read such a stream of cliches.
Superb deep cut from DM which amazingly has never been played live!
I think this a pretty good album

i totally agree 100%. my respect for their earlier work increased when i heard the innovation of their newer stuff. i LOVE this and, "Songs of Faith & Devotion". how is, "Exciter"?
I really enjoyed many of the cuts from "Exciter." They gained a different following when "Dream On" was getting airplay, but that's really the only song like it on the album, which is not a bad thing, IMHO. I tried uploading one or two to RP, but they didn't get accepted. If you like DM, then it's worth having "Exciter" in your music collection.

OK, so Depeche Mode have proved that they can pass themselves off as Pink Floyd. The point of all this being what, exactly? :?:

This is a very underated album from DP, by the time of it's release all the suicidal kids were grown up so it didn't sell. FYI, Maryland is the Free State.
HOLY CRAP! Who uploaded this? THANK YOU!!!
HA! I was about to comment how much these guys sound like Depeche Mode These guys are icons, at one point I had every CD they produced. And yet I never committed suicide!
Not the best DM song I've ever heard, but I can tolerate it.
