Hello Dali – Better Days

Associated artists/bands: Hello Dali
This very first cover version of “Better Days” is so brilliant, you could think that THIS is the original, and Depeche Mode are doing the cover version! Thanks so much to Luis Lima from Sao Paolo, Brazil, for sending me this CD!

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 "Better Days"

What are you hiding from
You are part of the sum
What has been going on
Your confidence has gone

You have seen better days
You have lived better ways

What are you waiting for
Answers that question more
Unexpected they will come
Are you expecting some

You have seen better days
You have lived better ways

Only time will tell
What will come of you
Only crime could sell
What you’re trying to

Where are you heading to
What plans will you pull through
With trouble in the wings
Will you risk anything

You have seen better days
You have lived better ways
