I am the founder and main author of the international synth pop magazine Electrozombies. Since my childhood I have been a devotee of melancholic, gloomy electronic music. Started in the late 70s with minimal electro band Kraftwerk and become a real synth pop fan through Depeche Mode's hit 'People Are People' in 1984.

I took over the depechemodecovers.com website in 2024 and relaunched it. As a big fan of Depeche Mode and cover versions, I dedicate myself passionately to this project.

Lyrics of "Clean"

Clean
The cleanest I’ve been
An end to the tears
And the in-between years
And the troubles I’ve seen

Now that I’m clean
You know what I mean
I’ve broken my fall
Put an end to it all
I’ve changed my routine
Now I’m clean

I don’t understand
What destiny’s planned
I’m starting to grasp
What is in my own hands

I don’t claim to know
Where my holiness goes
I just know that I like
What is starting to show

Sometimes

Clean…

As years go by
All the feelings inside
Twist and they turn
As they ride with the tide

I don’t advise
And I don’t criticise
I just know what I like
With my own eyes

Sometimes

Clean…

Sometimes
