Thomas Frenken

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 "Shine"

Light
There’s light here
And it shines on you
It shines, yeah it shines down
It shines on you

When you look around
It’s so profound
Oh we can do
You and me
All of us
Here we’re coming through
Here we’re coming through
We gonna shine on you

Light
There’s light here
And it shines on you
It shines, yeah, it shines down
It shines on you

Anyone can see
There’s destiny
For me and you
Alone it burns
Shines and is low
Shines on you
Yeah, it shines down
Let it shine on you
Let it shine on you

Light
There’s light here
And it shines on you
It shines, yeah, it shines down
It shines on you
Yeah, it shines on you
Let it shine on you
