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 "It's Called A Heart"

There’s something beating here
Inside my body and it’s called a heart
You know how easy it is
To tear it apart

If I lend it to you
Will you keep it safe
Yes I’ll lend it to you
If you treat it tenderly

There’s something beating here
Inside my body and it’s called a heart

There’s a sun shining in the sky
But that’s not the reason why
I’m feeling warm inside
The answer isn’t classified
It’s my heart

From the moment I started
I tried to be good-hearted
Yes I tried my best
And more or less
I spoke from my heart

There’s a lot to be learned
And you learn when you’re heart gets burned

Hearts could never be owned
Hearts only come on loan
If I want it back
I will take it back
I’ll take my heart

But I will try my best
And more or less
I will speak from my heart
Yes I will speak from my heart
Speak from my heart
