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 "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
