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 "Broken"

If you want control
Without any pain
How long will you suffer
How long you reign

You see the friend that I knew
Cannot be found
Replaced by another
Wearing his crown

There’s a place where I go
Without any sound
Only you can reach me
Only you’re allowed

Then you’re so far away
You’re so far from here
Do you remember
A time without tears

When you’re falling I will catch you
You don’t have to fall that far
You can make it, I will be there
You were broken from the start

When you were a child
You’d dream all day long
You’d dream of the future
And get lost in your songs

Now that time is gone
It’s lost for you now
Words long forgotten
Forgotten somehow

When you’re falling I will catch you
You don’t have to fall that far
You can make it, I will be there
You were broken from the start
