Band Name Origins:
- Gore, Clarke, and Fletcher started DM as "Composition of Sound". When singer Dave Gahan was added, he suggested the name Depeche Mode, a name he stole from a French fashion magazine he saw in art school. The band didn't know what it meant at the time (loosely translated to "Hurried Fashion"), but thought it sounded modern and cool, for a while early on insisiting on being called Depeché Mode (pronounced Depeshay), though that pronunciation didn't catch on.

Nonsensical Song Lyrics:
"New Life"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: I stand still stepping on the shady streets
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 Why They're Nonsensical: ...Say what ???!! Am I the only one having troubles with these lines (and the rest of this song) or am I missing something? How can one be standing still, yet be 'stepping'??? What 'man' is meant in the next line? How come 'the room is lit with danger '?? (I've checked several sites, and these seem to be the real lyrics, though...)

| "Just Can't Get Enough"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: Just like a rainbow, you know you set me free
Why They're Nonsensical: We have 'album fillers' and now 'rhyme fillers'. What in the name of Hovis does this line mean? I didn't know rainbows were such renowned liberators, the way they just sit there in the sky and never end...
