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 "Leave In Silence"

I’ve told myself so many times before
But this time I think I mean it for sure,
We have reached a full stop,
Nothing’s going to stop save us from the big drop.

Reached our natural conclusion,
Outlived the illusion,
I hate being in these situations
That call for diplomatic relations.
If I only knew the answer,
Or I thought we had a chance,
Or I could stop this,
I would stop this thing
From spreading like a cancer.

What can I say,
I don’t want to play any more.
What can I say,
I’m heading for the door.
I can’t stand this emotional violence.
Leave in silence
Leave in silence.

We’ve been running round in circles all year,
Doing this and that and getting nowhere.
This will be the last time,
I think I said that last time.

If I only had potion,
Some magical lotion,
That could stop this,
I would set the wheels in motion.
