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 "I Sometimes Wish I Was Dead"

New sound all around
You can hear it too
I’m getting hot never stop
Just for me and you
Playing on my radio
And saying that you have to go

New day turn away
Wipe away the tear
A new night feel allright
Knowing that you’re here
Dancing with you all the time
And don’t you think that it’s a crime?

Back street never meet
Never say goodbye (never say goodbye)
I know where to go
But I don’t know why
You say that it’s from above
And I say this is modern love
