Michael M. Müller

Although I already owned all regular releases, I started "seriously" collecting Depeche Mode's releases from all over the world in the late 80s. But when the internet and espacially eBay came up, I wanted to specialise my collection, because with eBay it was not a question of "how to find a rarity?" anymore, but just a question of "who pays the most?". That was the start of my collection of Depeche Mode cover versions.

I really like it when artists create a completely new mood in a cover version. For me, the best covers are very often just unknown tracks on an artist's album, while many tribute compilations are just "sound-a-likes" without own creativity.

Lyrics of "Free"

I will never be free
I shall never be released
From the chains that bind me
They torture and blind me
And keep me from peace

Oh, what heartache
Oh, what heartbreak
Following me
Calling to me

I will never be free
I shall never be released
From the chains that bind me
They torture and blind me
And keep me from peace

I will never be free
I will never be laid to rest
Sisters and brothers
I’ll never recover
From this tenderness

See what love breaks
Hear what love sings
Sad melodies
Enticing me

I will never be free
I shall never be released
From the chains that bind me
They torture and blind me
And keep me from peace

I will never be free
I will never be laid to rest
Sisters and brothers
I’ll never recover
From this tenderness
