Although I already owned all regular releases, I started "seriously" collecting Depeche Mode's releases from all over the world in the late 80s. But when the internet and espacially eBay came up, I wanted to specialise my collection, because with eBay it was not a question of "how to find a rarity?" anymore, but just a question of "who pays the most?". That was the start of my collection of Depeche Mode cover versions.

I really like it when artists create a completely new mood in a cover version. For me, the best covers are very often just unknown tracks on an artist's album, while many tribute compilations are just "sound-a-likes" without own creativity.

Lyrics of "Death's Door"

Well I’m knocking on Death’s door
Will I take my rest
Among the blessed?

Mother are you waiting?
Father are you pacing?
I’m coming home

I’m knocking on Death’s door
Will I take my rest
In my sunday best?

Mother are you anxious?
Father are you gracious?
I’m coming home

I’ve been away too long
For so long it was strong
I’ve been away too long
I know that it was wrong
But I’m coming home

Well I’m knocking on Death’s door
Will I take my rest?
Have I passed the test?

Mother are you praying?
Father I’m saying:
I’m coming home
