This is maybe the most sensational entry on this website, featuring the probably very first cover versions of Depeche Mode songs ever, already released in November 1981!
Mirage was a project by Klaus Munzert, who later formed the synthpop band Silicon Dream, known especially for their 1987 chart hit “Marcello The Mastroianni”.
I stand still stepping on the shady street
And I watch that man to a stranger
You think you only know me when you turn on the light
Now the room is lit with danger
Complicating, circulating
New life, new life
Operating, generating
New life, new life
Transition to another place
So the time will pass more slowly
Features fuse and your shadow’s red
Like a film I’ve seen now show me
Complicating, circulating
New life, new life
Operating, generating
New life, new life
Your face is hidden and we’re out of sight
And the road just leads to nowhere
The stranger in the door is the same as before
So the question answer’s nowhere
Complicating, circulating
New life, new life
Operating, generating
New life, new life
I stand still stepping on the shady street
And I watch that man to a stranger
You think you only know me when you turn on the light
Now the room is lit with danger
