I Feel You
Depeche Mode Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I feel you, within my mind
You take me there
You take me where the kingdom comes
You take me to and lead me through Babylon
This is the morning of our love
It's just the dawning of our love
I feel you, your heart it sings
I feel you, the joy it brings
Where heaven waits, there's golden gates and back again
You take me to and lead me through oblivion
This is the morning of our love
It's just the dawning of our love
I feel you, your precious soul
And I am whole
I feel you, your rising sun (my kingdom comes)
My kingdom comes
I feel you, each move you make
I feel you, each breath you take
Where angels sing and spread their wings
My love's on high
You take me home to glory's throne
By and by
This is the morning of our love
It's just the dawning of our love
This is the morning of our love
It's just the dawning of our love

My first Depeche Mode concert was in 1993, which is also their second time playing in New Orleans, and my aunt went with me as has been the case for every show.
I missed their first one in New Orleans, which was in 1988.
We also went to the one in Biloxi, Mississippi in 1994, which was just after my high school graduation.
Then came two more New Orleans appearances in 1998 and 2001 respectively.
Had Hurricane Katrina not struck first, they might have played in New Orleans in 2005.
No matter. They're coming to New Orleans again this year, and my aunt and I will also bring my mother to the show.
