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 "Alone"

I was there when you needed me most
I was there when you wanted me least
I was your father, your son and your Holy Ghost and priest

Through your failures and success
Through your losses and gains
I didn’t see much happiness or pain

I couldn’t save your soul
I couldn’t even take you home
I couldn’t fill that hole
Alone

I saw you at your best
I knew you at your worst
I couldn’t tell if you were blessed or cursed
There’s a thin grey line
Between the black and the white
It’s evidently hard to find at night

I couldn’t save your soul
I couldn’t even take you home
I couldn’t play that role
Alone

Now it’s too
Too late for
Words that should have been said long ago

I was there when you needed me most
I was there when you wanted me least
I was your father, your son and your Holy Ghost and priest

I couldn’t save your soul
I couldn’t even take you home
I couldn’t fill that hole
Alone
