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 "Monument"

When the site was found
We laid the foundations down.
It didn’t take long before
They came back tumbling down.
Don’t build at night
You need a little light.
How else yo going to see
What it is going to be like!
So we picked up the tools
And we worked in the morning light,
With the last stone placed
Wasn’t it a wonderful sight,
But it fell back down
And scattered all around,
Anything passes
When you need glasses!

My Monument – it fell down
My Monument – it fell down

Work all of my days for this kind of praise,
It fell down
Work all of my days – it fell down.
