RadixJournal - Depeche Mode： Delta Machine

00:00:00.000 Welcome to my world

00:00:13.920 Step right through the door

00:00:20.000 Leave your tranquilizers at home

00:00:26.760 You don't need them anymore

00:00:32.400 You know, I really don't know what to say about this album

00:00:41.500 because I don't dislike it

00:00:49.280 and I think that there are a lot of songs

00:00:53.420 that are quintessentially Depeche Mode

00:00:58.340 and that I like

00:01:01.080 and that I feel are part of the canon

00:01:04.360 in a way

00:01:05.780 and I would include like Goodbye

00:01:09.200 All That's Mine, I like

00:01:12.240 Heaven

00:01:13.160 Angel

00:01:15.020 Secret to the End

00:01:16.740 which kind of has like a hard driving scent

00:01:19.980 at least at the beginning

00:01:21.000 so there's nothing that I dislike about it

00:01:25.120 and secondly

00:01:26.100 the bluesy sound that they evoked

00:01:29.020 I like that quite a bit

00:01:30.900 and I think I've mentioned this

00:01:33.580 on one of our earlier conversations

00:01:35.120 about the Soul Savers

00:01:36.320 which was a

00:01:37.540 off-the-beaten-track band

00:01:40.100 that has some kind of relationship

00:01:42.700 with Dave Gahan

00:01:43.620 I'm sure they were fans

00:01:46.120 or influenced by him

00:01:47.080 they're probably friends

00:01:48.340 they've done a number of albums

00:01:49.760 particularly the first one

00:01:52.160 they did in 2012

00:01:53.140 I just think is a revelation

00:01:56.640 I mean, I think it's really a unique

00:01:58.940 sound that they created

00:02:00.860 and it's a kind of acoustic

00:02:02.720 digital blend

00:02:04.980 a blues and country

00:02:07.840 Americana

00:02:09.360 with Depeche Mode blend

00:02:12.420 I can feel the presence of God

00:02:16.800 in need of my attention

00:02:21.120 In this room and in your words

00:02:32.080 in too many ways

00:02:35.280 in too many ways

00:02:35.300 in too many ways

00:02:35.320 to mention

00:02:36.680 These thoughts torment me

00:02:44.280 Ain't more to shake me

00:02:47.760 There's a man that I should be

00:02:52.380 Oh, someone I could be

00:02:55.640 Nothing can break me

00:03:00.000 Oh, nothing that I see

00:03:03.080 You can't shake me

00:03:07.340 You can't shake me

00:03:11.080 So set me free

00:03:14.080 It works

00:03:18.020 And there's a lot of blues

00:03:19.540 in Martin Gore's writing

00:03:22.560 throughout his career

00:03:23.840 There's a lot of Elvis

00:03:26.820 in Martin Gore

00:03:28.120 Something that I think

00:03:29.980 is underappreciated

00:03:31.080 You know, a song like

00:03:31.960 Pleasure, Little Treasure

00:03:33.060 or something

00:03:33.480 I could almost imagine

00:03:34.580 Elvis singing

00:03:35.680 So I like the fact

00:03:39.040 that they went there

00:03:40.240 and, you know

00:03:42.440 You know, what is some of the

00:03:45.320 There's some great lines

00:03:46.760 on Goodbye

00:03:47.680 Like, I was always looking

00:03:50.440 Looking for someone

00:03:52.500 Someone to stick my hook in

00:03:55.140 And pull it out and run

00:03:56.640 Now I'm caught on your line

00:03:58.860 All my thoughts are entwined

00:04:01.240 In you

00:04:02.000 I was always looking

00:04:14.200 Looking for someone

00:04:16.760 Someone to stick my hook in

00:04:20.740 And pull it out and run

00:04:23.520 Now I'm caught on your line

00:04:29.780 All my thoughts are entwined

00:04:36.260 In you

00:04:39.360 You can hear a kind of almost

00:04:44.600 elaboration on Personal Jesus

00:04:47.460 as well

00:04:48.020 But at the end of the day

00:04:51.420 Personal Jesus is better 0.99

00:04:54.660 And I could do

00:04:58.700 Without the album

00:04:59.660 In some level

00:05:00.440 I don't know

00:05:01.300 Maybe that's too strong

00:05:02.800 A language to use

00:05:05.220 I mean

00:05:05.480 I like the album

00:05:06.920 I think a lot of

00:05:07.700 As I said

00:05:08.340 A lot of the songs

00:05:09.080 Are quintessentially

00:05:10.160 Depeche Mode

00:05:10.940 I like a lot of the songs

00:05:12.720 I'm not sure

00:05:13.240 I love one of them

00:05:14.580 And I don't think

00:05:15.500 They really added

00:05:16.620 Anything

00:05:17.660 Terribly new

00:05:21.060 Or terribly

00:05:23.180 Indispensable

00:05:24.720 To their body of work

00:05:27.760 So I guess I'm ambivalent

00:05:29.800 About this

00:05:30.440 I have mixed feelings

00:05:31.640 But you know

00:05:33.040 Do you know what I think it is

00:05:34.180 It's like there's an over

00:05:35.520 If there's an emotion

00:05:37.520 About this album

00:05:38.420 There's like an overwhelming

00:05:40.200 Sense of

00:05:41.480 Annoyance

00:05:43.340 Or ambivalence

00:05:44.640 You know

00:05:46.160 Not to all of the songs

00:05:48.140 But to too many of them

00:05:49.360 There's like

00:05:50.100 Almost a

00:05:50.920 This is a

00:05:52.640 Plaint

00:05:54.040 Or a complaint

00:05:54.960 And

00:05:56.400 I feel like

00:05:58.180 That didn't really

00:05:58.820 Take them into new directions

00:06:00.140 But

00:06:00.460 That's kind of like

00:06:01.440 The first layer of the onion

00:06:02.420 That's my

00:06:03.060 Overall thoughts

00:06:04.460 On the album

00:06:04.960 What about you?

00:06:07.480 I think that

00:06:08.460 The

00:06:08.960 The name

00:06:10.160 Delta Machine

00:06:11.320 Kind of says

00:06:12.200 It all

00:06:12.760 Because it invokes

00:06:14.320 Like the Mississippi

00:06:15.280 River Delta

00:06:16.260 Yeah

00:06:17.080 Which

00:06:17.380 Maybe a birthplace

00:06:19.600 Of

00:06:20.340 Blues

00:06:21.340 Might not

00:06:22.480 More so jazz

00:06:23.660 But

00:06:23.900 Nonetheless

00:06:24.820 The point

00:06:25.460 Comes across

00:06:26.300 Yeah

00:06:26.920 American

00:06:27.660 African American music

00:06:29.360 That's southern

00:06:30.980 That's coming out of poverty

00:06:32.560 In many ways

00:06:33.360 That's

00:06:34.220 Uniquely American

00:06:35.260 That is singing

00:06:36.480 About pain

00:06:37.300 I mean

00:06:37.600 There's

00:06:38.320 We

00:06:38.860 There's a natural

00:06:40.480 Dovetail

00:06:41.640 With Depeche Mode

00:06:42.640 In

00:06:43.620 In that music

00:06:44.580 And

00:06:44.940 And I can

00:06:45.460 I can

00:06:45.920 I know why

00:06:46.760 You know

00:06:47.300 Both Martin

00:06:47.900 Dave

00:06:48.300 Really

00:06:48.760 Care about that music

00:06:50.000 And want to evoke it

00:06:51.120 Like you said

00:06:52.880 With

00:06:53.240 With Martin's music

00:06:54.380 A lot of it

00:06:55.180 Is 0.88

00:06:56.160 Is this happy

00:06:57.060 Is it sad

00:06:57.760 It's probably sad

00:06:58.900 But

00:06:59.160 You still have that

00:07:00.640 Kind of questioning

00:07:01.280 And

00:07:01.520 That's

00:07:02.100 What

00:07:02.640 Blues is

00:07:03.640 To a large extent

00:07:05.140 Because

00:07:05.580 You take

00:07:06.780 Like

00:07:07.000 I've said before

00:07:08.200 Major blues lines

00:07:09.520 There's this kind

00:07:10.700 Of

00:07:10.940 Flatted

00:07:11.540 Third

00:07:12.040 Or minor

00:07:13.300 Third

00:07:13.660 And major

00:07:14.220 Third

00:07:14.580 And minor

00:07:15.140 And major

00:07:15.580 Being

00:07:16.140 You know

00:07:17.080 Sad

00:07:18.100 And happy

00:07:19.040 And it kind

00:07:19.480 Of plays

00:07:20.060 With that

00:07:20.660 And so

00:07:21.260 You don't

00:07:21.760 Know

00:07:22.220 But you know

00:07:23.320 I think one of the things

00:07:24.340 That this album

00:07:25.140 Is missing

00:07:25.820 If it was going to go

00:07:27.320 For the

00:07:28.180 Sort of

00:07:29.260 Synth pop 0.97

00:07:29.980 Blues

00:07:30.400 Or electro pop

00:07:31.520 Industrial blues

00:07:32.980 Combination

00:07:33.760 I think it should have had

00:07:35.600 Which is my

00:07:36.720 Kind of long standing

00:07:37.740 Critique

00:07:38.340 Since the

00:07:40.280 Departure

00:07:41.180 Of our lord and savior

00:07:42.360 Alan Wilder

00:07:43.220 Is 0.88

00:07:44.100 The grooves

00:07:47.000 The grooves

00:07:47.680 Are not

00:07:48.320 Bluesy 0.68

00:07:49.260 They're

00:07:49.720 Rather

00:07:50.480 Stiff

00:07:51.220 They're too

00:07:51.860 Electro pop

00:07:52.860 Or

00:07:53.120 Synth pop 0.97

00:07:54.180 And they're

00:07:54.660 Not

00:07:55.200 Bluesy enough 0.92

00:07:56.180 I think that would have

00:07:57.040 Helped

00:07:57.500 To

00:07:58.300 Sort of

00:07:59.240 Give

00:07:59.700 A better feel

00:08:01.040 Yeah

00:08:01.940 To

00:08:02.480 To the

00:08:03.380 To the blues

00:08:04.220 Influence

00:08:04.840 And

00:08:05.860 I mean

00:08:06.760 Blues

00:08:07.220 In a lot of ways

00:08:08.860 Would kind of be

00:08:10.120 Strange if you said

00:08:12.500 On the surface level

00:08:13.880 It'd be strange if you said

00:08:14.920 Martin was

00:08:15.500 Influenced

00:08:16.300 By

00:08:17.340 Blues music

00:08:18.360 At least that's what I

00:08:19.620 Initially thought

00:08:20.600 And

00:08:21.120 But

00:08:22.380 You know

00:08:22.960 It does make sense

00:08:24.360 Because

00:08:24.740 With a lot of blues

00:08:26.720 I mean rock and roll

00:08:28.240 For example

00:08:28.840 The phrase is

00:08:29.740 Literally about 0.65

00:08:30.480 Having sex 0.93

00:08:31.320 And 0.90

00:08:31.760 But there's also

00:08:33.140 A sadness

00:08:33.640 With the word blues

00:08:34.800 Like a blue note

00:08:35.780 It literally means

00:08:37.380 Being blue

00:08:38.500 And

00:08:39.700 In Martin

00:08:40.840 It's about 0.98

00:08:41.660 Sex 0.98

00:08:42.720 A lot of

00:08:43.320 The two main themes

00:08:44.480 Are 0.67

00:08:45.740 Sex

00:08:46.600 And

00:08:47.280 You know

00:08:47.680 Kind of

00:08:48.060 Sadness

00:08:48.580 Or longing

00:08:49.200 You know

00:08:49.800 So

00:08:50.360 There is that

00:08:51.640 Kind of

00:08:52.060 Yin and yang

00:08:53.220 Quality

00:08:53.840 With

00:08:54.600 With Martin

00:08:55.580 Do you think

00:08:58.460 There's something

00:08:58.980 To this

00:08:59.420 So

00:08:59.720 Ben

00:09:00.660 Hillier

00:09:01.320 Who

00:09:01.660 Who's also

00:09:02.320 A

00:09:02.920 Music

00:09:04.020 And

00:09:05.840 Writer

00:09:06.760 He's a

00:09:07.920 He's English

00:09:08.900 As well

00:09:09.520 I don't know

00:09:10.560 When

00:09:10.940 His paths

00:09:11.820 His path

00:09:12.600 Crossed

00:09:13.240 With

00:09:13.520 Dave

00:09:14.020 Or

00:09:14.280 Or

00:09:15.540 Martin

00:09:15.920 But

00:09:16.340 He produced

00:09:17.300 Three albums

00:09:18.360 They're

00:09:18.900 They're

00:09:19.220 They're

00:09:19.420 In succession

00:09:20.220 One after another

00:09:21.220 Separated by

00:09:21.960 Three to four years

00:09:22.760 Playing the angel

00:09:23.700 Which I think

00:09:24.940 Has a lot

00:09:25.720 I mean

00:09:26.100 I think

00:09:26.660 Playing the angels

00:09:27.260 I like it

00:09:27.960 It has a lot

00:09:28.500 I can't wait

00:09:29.400 To revisit it

00:09:30.200 Because I

00:09:30.520 Might even

00:09:31.020 Have a different

00:09:31.460 Opinion on it

00:09:32.120 Sounds of the

00:09:33.200 Universe

00:09:33.700 A bit

00:09:35.240 Disappointing

00:09:36.100 Delta Machine

00:09:36.960 Interesting

00:09:38.220 But disappointing

00:09:39.000 More interesting

00:09:39.780 Than sounds of the

00:09:40.480 Universe

00:09:40.920 But still

00:09:42.040 Disappointing

00:09:43.300 And

00:09:44.300 I also feel

00:09:45.920 Like

00:09:46.400 The blues

00:09:47.040 Stuff

00:09:47.340 I mean

00:09:47.540 That

00:09:47.760 That

00:09:48.140 That's native

00:09:49.200 To Martin

00:09:49.800 But

00:09:51.000 It's almost

00:09:52.100 Like

00:09:52.400 They were

00:09:53.020 Reacting

00:09:53.680 To Soul

00:09:54.480 Savers

00:09:54.900 From the

00:09:55.420 Year

00:09:55.800 Before

00:09:56.340 I mean

00:09:56.620 If you

00:09:56.860 Imagine

00:09:57.180 That

00:09:57.500 They took

00:09:58.060 A break

00:09:58.460 After

00:09:58.700 Sounds of

00:09:59.200 The Universe

00:09:59.600 Tour

00:10:00.000 Tour

00:10:00.860 Of the

00:10:01.120 Universe

00:10:01.480 And then

00:10:02.280 Dave

00:10:03.240 Worked with

00:10:03.900 Soul

00:10:04.120 Savers

00:10:04.580 In

00:10:04.960 2010

00:10:06.440 11

00:10:07.300 And they

00:10:07.940 The album

00:10:08.640 Was released

00:23:23.180 You're

00:23:24.080 Really

00:23:24.300 Involved

00:23:25.840 You

00:23:25.960 Can

00:23:26.100 See

00:23:26.340 It

00:23:26.480 As

00:23:26.640 A

00:23:26.800 Cohesive

00:23:27.420 Piece

00:23:28.060 But

00:23:28.760 This

00:23:29.060 Album

00:23:29.380 There

00:23:29.640 Wasn't

00:23:30.040 One

00:23:30.460 Song

00:23:31.060 That

00:23:31.700 Really

00:23:32.040 Like

00:23:32.380 Oh

00:23:32.700 Man

00:23:32.920 I'm

00:23:33.280 Really

00:23:33.540 Like

00:23:33.940 I'm

00:23:34.540 Really

00:23:34.720 Feeling

00:23:35.000 This

00:23:35.240 One

00:23:35.400 I'm

00:23:35.620 Really

00:23:35.840 Persuaded

00:23:37.080 By

00:23:37.360 It

00:23:37.540 Or

00:23:37.780 You

00:23:38.020 Know

00:23:38.160 But

00:23:38.500 Yeah

00:23:39.040 It

00:23:40.040 Was

00:23:40.140 Just

00:23:40.320 Kind

00:23:40.720 Of

00:23:41.080 The

00:23:42.080 Other

00:23:42.700 Example

00:23:43.120 I

00:23:43.260 Had

00:23:43.620 Was

00:23:43.960 In

00:23:44.600 Secret

00:23:45.780 To

00:23:46.000 The

00:23:46.140 End

00:23:46.380 There's

00:23:49.940 Same

00:23:50.120 Key

00:23:50.360 But

00:23:50.560 It

00:23:50.700 Is 0.88

00:23:50.840 Identical

00:24:20.840 Diagnose

00:24:22.440 pasa

00:24:22.500 not only are they going back you know as far as like let's do americana blues but with

00:24:38.040 you know uh since but it was also like let's kind of call back to whether i don't think that

00:24:45.360 was conscious but you know let's go back to our old stuff let's call on these old things and i

00:24:52.140 don't know there there's a part of me that can kind of get tired of the same themes over and over i'm

00:24:58.640 not saying martin gore has to write a song about being a hero instead of a martyr but right yeah i

00:25:04.540 mean i get that also might just come with you know having reviewed these uh weekly now yeah there's

00:25:11.520 another strange tendency in here and that is and i don't know if i've seen this tendency in their

00:25:19.720 other songs but this repeating something over and over again and i i don't know what they're

00:25:26.840 playing with but it it seems monotonous in a bad way i mean a lot of depeche mode music actually is

00:25:33.400 monotonous in a good way it's that driving sound but like should have been you should have been you

00:25:39.980 should have been you should have been you should have been you should have been you should have

00:25:44.300 been you if it had been me uh there's some other examples of this there's only one way to soothe my

00:25:52.060 so just this like repeating

00:25:53.900 i just wanna be part of the light of the light of the light of the light of the light of the light of

00:26:16.540 the light in your eyes this weird like repeating of the lyric over and over again and i don't know

00:26:30.060 what to say it just it's a it's a i guess maybe again it's like when it's when they repeat this repetition

00:26:39.500 throughout the album it becomes disappointing and just strange and i think that maybe is on the

00:26:48.800 producer as much as anyone actually but it it's just i don't know if it if it happened once and i

00:26:57.900 even like you know the like i want to i just want to be part of the light of your eyes and the light of

00:27:03.340 the light of your eyes like it's actually a cool image you know i don't again i don't dislike this

00:27:10.060 album and i don't dislike any of these songs i can kind of imagine like walking into a dark lounge or

00:27:19.100 something and you know with a drink and this music kind of playing in the background and it's not

00:27:26.040 it's not like electro synth enough to get you dancing or something like that and it's got a little

00:27:32.300 bluesy quality to it there's just something cool about it and there's some imagery that i like but

00:27:38.680 it just doesn't all it's ultimately as i've described it it's ultimately background music well

00:27:46.360 honestly i think my favorite song is the child inside it's martin's you know another one of his

00:27:56.520 most personal songs but that it just sounds good and that lyric uh about the tears or whatever that

00:28:04.760 that was kind of corny that that critic i didn't even touch that i i you know i think that was probably

00:28:11.580 the best produced song it had a good like sad atmosphere and i think it was kind of autobiographical

00:28:16.680 because he's talking about you know he described himself as being a loner as a child and not really

00:28:22.860 going out to play and presumably writing songs in his bedroom and you know there are lines in in that

00:28:30.980 song that you know we're basically saying why didn't you go out to play when when you were a child and and

00:28:38.800 all the other kids are on on such a nice day kind of thing because you know he's admitted he was like

00:28:44.500 a reclusive kind of lonely raised by a single mom uh kid you know unfortunately or maybe fortunately

00:28:52.400 for us as as fans but yeah i think that was probably their the best song on the album and

00:28:58.360 you know that could have just been on a martin gorse solo project

00:29:03.200 what have you got buried inside the shallow grave in your soul the ghosts they have taken control

00:29:18.760 you really should have dug a little deeper there body parts are starting to appear and scare the child inside away 0.67

00:29:48.760 i agree with the general sentiment of the pitch work review but i would say each tear that flows down

00:30:02.200 your face trickles and picks up the pace and turns to a river inside a river that will not subside

00:30:09.200 i can hear that dreadful overflowing sound and watching from afar i see a child is drowned the child inside your heart

00:30:16.760 yeah it's a little you know the inner child it's a massive cliche but that doesn't mean it's bad

00:30:27.100 um but again is this better than when they weren't quite explaining the metaphor to the audience

00:30:34.380 and a song like little 15 you know yeah who wants to drive away

00:30:40.720 i think that might be a function of age too because it's okay to be a bit pervy when you're about

00:30:48.640 you know 25 26 right but when you're in your 50s it's probably i don't know that this is fair enough

00:30:56.660 maybe they couldn't get away with it but i guess my my point is that yeah that song could be read in a

00:31:02.760 curvy way fair enough but i i don't read it in that way and the the sadness of the music and the piano

00:31:10.800 it strikes me as yeah there yeah there's a little bit of sex around the edges but it's actually a

00:31:17.240 really tragic song little 15

00:31:19.320 little 15

00:31:24.360 you help her forget

00:31:28.920 your world outside

00:31:33.460 you're not part of it yet

00:31:37.780 and if you could drive

00:31:42.420 you could drive her away

00:31:46.740 to a happier place

00:31:51.240 to a happier day

00:31:55.480 he's not like rolling stones singing brown sugar or something you know like this is this is a this is

00:32:05.040 like a hard sad weighty song with a little you know it's like a teenage prostitute or someone who's child

00:32:13.060 trafficked i mean there there is i i get i mean don't quote me on this there there's something kind of

00:32:18.480 sexy around the edges of it but it's a sex enwrapped in in pain and and and loss of innocence and

00:32:27.160 exploitation and regret and etc so uh yeah i mean i just i think it was better when they

00:32:35.020 when the lyric was in a way simpler and and kind of uh poppier

00:32:41.300 yeah uh i i would definitely uh agree i don't know i just overall just don't i think first and

00:32:51.340 foremost stints exciter on uh the production has not served the album and that does i would say

00:33:01.080 ultra does really serve those songs well the production really serves those songs very well

00:33:08.080 yeah you know and i i don't even i don't blame martin or dave so much like i said i

00:33:14.360 it's uh just unfortunate that they haven't found somebody to really i think the closest

00:33:21.320 was uh ben hillier when he did playing the angel i think that's their best album of this uh century

00:33:28.180 but but yeah i i mean i think first and foremost because it has to be

00:33:34.020 listenable and uh it has to be almost addicting yeah precious is like up there in terms of

00:33:43.400 depeche mode anthems it's up there with like never let me down again enjoy the silence definitely

00:33:49.640 i mean it's it's up there it's equal to all of those songs and and it's actually very martin gory

00:33:56.540 it has a kind of personal message to it you know as well so it's it's not just like a typical pop song

00:34:02.340 or something so yeah i mean i i would praise them like that just to since we're focusing on lyrics

00:34:08.900 here just heaven um you know again i i think in a way like all of the negatives about this album

00:34:16.460 are some of the positives like it's it's disappointing it's you you're waiting for more

00:34:23.100 but then there actually is something great about it as well like um he's basically i dissolve and trust

00:34:31.580 so he's trusting the lord i will sing with joy i will end up dust just like adam dust you came from

00:34:39.080 dust you'll end up there i'm in heaven uh i i stand in golden rays radiantly i burn a fire of

00:34:45.980 love over and over reflecting endless light relentlessly i've embraced the flame forever

00:34:51.140 and ever i will scream the word jump into the void i will guide the herd up to heaven i mean there is

00:34:58.900 something i guess authentically american i mean dare i say it authentically black

00:35:04.000 lyrics um i mean i i i mean that seriously it's like cultural appropriation but but in a you know

00:35:16.980 really interesting form there's like you get to this like raw unrefined but but then also authentic

00:35:25.460 and in a way justified monotheism of america of of like not even really knowing the stories but

00:35:33.420 just remembering a few things like we're gonna all end up dust we're gonna yell the word the flame

00:35:38.920 will burn me up i'll lead the herd up to heaven um you know i want more but then at the same time like

00:35:47.400 i actually that is one of the best songs in the sense that it's like a just it's a it's like a

00:35:54.120 primitive depeche mode song and almost a primitive expression of monotheism

00:35:58.660 i stand in golden rays

00:36:07.860 ragingly

00:36:11.380 i burn a fire of love

00:36:16.460 over and over

00:36:20.780 over and over

00:36:22.780 reflect in endless endlessught

00:36:27.780 relentlessly

00:36:29.160 i have embraced a flame

00:36:36.220 forever and ever

00:36:40.220 i will scream

00:36:42.780 the word

00:36:47.780 Jump into the void

00:36:55.540 I will guide the earth

00:37:05.440 Up to heaven

00:37:09.700 If I'm permitted to say it, is it not Dionysian?

00:37:20.800 It's, you know, I will scream the word, jump into the void, I will guide the earth up to heaven.

00:37:27.600 It's just Christian. Yeah, I mean, it might be Dionysian. 0.99

00:37:30.900 The idea of like, just I'm going into dust, but I'm doing it in trust.

00:37:34.780 That's an interesting rhyme.

00:37:35.960 And I trust in the Lord, and then I'll just end up dust, and I'm going to lead everyone else up to heaven.

00:37:42.060 Because our best life is far away. It's the next one.

00:37:45.980 Yeah, it's kind of like surrendering, you know, it also sounds like it's surrendering to sex, and like, I'll get burned by this.

00:37:54.280 It's almost cautionary, like a kind of Augustinian, kind of, what's his quote about, make me chase Lord, just not yet.

00:38:04.520 Just not right now. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:38:06.680 Yeah, something like that.

00:38:07.800 And that's what I, and he's, jump into the void, guide the earth up to heaven.

00:38:14.080 I mean, that borders on like, you know, kind of death cult stuff.

00:38:18.600 Now, I'm not going to say, you know, Martin Gore is running a secret death cult, obviously not.

00:38:22.960 But that, you know, it's martyr-like, it's, you know, guiding the herd.

00:38:28.920 I guess you and I are part of the herd as his fans.

00:38:32.880 But seriously, though, it does sound a bit like, he's almost like making it sound like he's a saint to die in the fiery passion of lust or something.

00:38:45.400 It's, that's at least what I get from it.

00:38:48.700 But there is something remarkable about this, because it's not terribly surprising for Christian sentiments to make their way into pop music.

00:39:01.820 Like, just because, you know, America is a Christian country, you know, et cetera, et cetera.

00:39:06.920 It's the culture that people draw from.

00:39:09.800 And they're going to use terms like angel and heaven, and heaven is a place on earth, and all this kind of, yeah.

00:39:16.140 But this is more authentic.

00:39:19.340 Like, this gets to someone who knows at least the rudiments of the Bible.
