Broken
Depeche Mode Lyrics
If you want control without any pain
How long will you suffer?
How long will you wait?
Is she the friend that I knew?
He cannot be banned
Replaced by another
Wearing his crown
There's a place where I go
Without any sand
Only you're allowed
And you're so far away
You're so far from here
Do you remember
Our time without tears?
When you're falling
I will catch you
You don't have to fall that far
You can make it
I will be there
You were broken for the start
And you were a child
You dream all day long
You dream of the future
Get lost in your sounds
Now that time is gone
It's lost for you now
Words long forgotten
Forgotten somehow
When you're falling
I will catch you
You don't have to fall that far
You can make it
I will be there
You were broken for the start
When you're falling
I will catch you
You don't have to fall that far
You can make it
I will be there
You were broken for the start

Depeche Mode is an English band, founded in 1980, originally from the town of Basildon, Essex, United Kingdom. They are one of the most enduring and successful bands to have emerged during the 80s, and particularly from the new wave/new romantic era. The band name is derived from a French fashion magazine, Dépêche mode, which means "fashion dispatch."

They are one of the most enduring and successful bands to have emerged during the 80s, and particularly from the new wave/new romantic era. The band name is derived from a French fashion magazine, Dépêche mode, which means "fashion dispatch."
The band have been highly influential in the electronic dance music scene, especially synthpop, techno and trance, in part due to their innovative work, recording techniques and use of sampling. Their most successful album is arguably 1990's Violator, which reached the #2 position in the UK, #7 in the US, and sold over 8 million copies worldwide. The band has released a long series of high-charting singles over their three-decades long career. Enjoy the Silence is their most recognized song and is one of the most covered songs in history.
The original line-up was Dave Gahan, Martin L. Gore, Andy Fletcher and Vince Clarke. In December 1981, Clarke left the band and later went on to form Yazoo, The Assembly and Erasure. Alan Wilder joined the group initially in January 1982 as a live keyboardist but became an official member in December 1982. He left mid-1995 to fully concentrate on his Recoil project and the band continued as a trio. In 2010 Wilder re-joined Depeche Mode on stage after 16 years, for a performance of Somebody during a show at London's Royal Albert Hall in aid of the Teenage Cancer Trust.
Depeche Mode's origins date back to 1977, when Vince Clarke and Andrew Fletcher formed a band called No Romance in China, with Clarke on vocals and guitar and Fletcher on bass. In March 1980, Clarke, Gore and Fletcher formed a band called Composition of Sound, with Clarke on vocals/guitar, Gore on keyboards and Fletcher on bass. Soon after the formation of Composition of Sound, Clarke and Fletcher switched to synthesizers. Dave Gahan joined the band in 1980 after Clarke heard him perform at a local scout hut jam session, singing to a rendition of David Bowie's "Heroes", and Depeche Mode were born.
While playing a live gig at the Bridge House in Canning Town, the band were approached by Daniel Miller, the founder of Mute Records, who proposed them a verbal contract. The result was their first single Dreaming of Me, recorded in December 1980 and released in February 1981, reaching number 57 in the UK charts and followed soon by a real contract with Mute.
To date, Depeche Mode have released:
14 studio albums: Speak & Spell (1981), A Broken Frame (1982), Construction Time Again (1983), Some Great Reward (1984), Black Celebration (1986), Music For the Masses (1987), Violator (1990), Songs of Faith and Devotion (1993), Ultra (1997), Exciter (2001), Playing the Angel (2005), Sounds of the Universe (2009), Delta Machine (2013) and Spirit (2017);

If you want control
Without any pain
How long will you suffer
How long you reign
You see the friend that I knew
Cannot be found
Replaced by another
Wearing his crown
There's a place where I go
Without any sound
Only you can reach me
Only you're allowed
Then you're so far away
You're so far from here
Do you remember
A time without tears
When you're falling I will catch you
You don't have to fall that far
You can make it, I will be there
You were broken from the start
When you were a child
You'd dream all day long
You'd dream of the future
Get lost in your songs
Now that time is gone
It's lost for you now
Words long forgotten
Forgotten somehow
When you're falling I will catch you
You don't have to fall that far
You can make it, I will be there
You were broken from the start
When you're falling I will catch you
You don't have to fall that far
You can make it, I will be there
You were broken from the start
When you're falling I will catch you
You don't have to fall that far
You can make it, I will be there
You were broken from the start
Житьсталовеселее
If you want control
Если ты мечтаешь властвовать,
Without any pain
Не причиняя боли,
How long will you suffer?
Как долго ты готов страдать?
How long will you reign?
Как долго ты будешь править?
You see the friend that I need
Видишь, друг, который так нужен мне,
Cannot be found
Потерян,
Replaced by another
Вместо него пришел другойWearing his crown
Носящий корону...
There's a place where I go
В то место, куда я уйду,
Without any sound
Не сказав ни слова,Only you can reach me
Только ты можешь последовать за мной,
Only you're allowed
Это дозволено только тебе.
And you're so far away
Ты так далеко отсюда,
You're so far from here
Так далеко от меня,
Do you remember
Помнишь ли ты
A time without tears?
Беззаботные времена?When you're falling
Когда ты будешь падать,
I will catch you
Я поймаю тебя,
You don't have to fall that far
Тебе не придется долго лететь.
You can make it
Ты можешь сделать это,
I will be there
Я буду рядом,
You were broken from the start
Ты был сломлен с самого начала...
And you were a child
Когда ты был ребенком,You dream all day long
Ты мечтал дни напролет.
You dream of the future
Ты мечтал о будущем,
Get lost in your songs
Витал в своих песнях.
Now that time is gone
Теперь это время ушло,
It's lost for you now
Оно потеряно для тебя,
Words long forgotten
Слова давно забыты,
Forgotten somehow
Почему-то забыты...
When you're fallingI will catch you
Я поймаю тебя,
You don't have to fall that far
Тебе не придется долго лететь.
You can make it
Ты можешь сделать это,
I will be there
Я буду рядом,
You were broken from the start
Ты был сломлен с самого начала...

I am 50 and Depeche Mode have been the soundtrack of my life. my highs, my lows. my tragedies my triumphs. my darkness my light. the brothers I never knew. advising chastising never judging my failings always there in my dreams and heartbeats giving love without wanting, taking pain without question. heroes come and go. my brothers are eternal.
Robyn Talucci
I know how you feel, I am 50 this year, so many of DM's songs take me to a place, a time, a feeling....so many moments in my life are bookmarked with their sound and lyrics.

@Николай Глинских плюсую много сотен раз!
Не понимаю этих бестолковых алёшек, которые не понятно в связи с какой поломкой в голове отстали от жизни и застыли в прошлом.
"На виолэйторе всё закончилось" 😂😂😂 ага)))
Это он "закончился" на виолэйторе))
С Виолэйтора только всё вспыхнуло)
У них нет ни одного плохого альбома. Все разные и все великолепные. Все чем-то хороши по-своему.
Депеши это такой же феномен как Битлы, только в другом жанре.
Они уникальны в любое время своей карьеры.

@Max Oleg дурачок какой-то))
У них ни одного плохого альбома нет!
