Sunday Song Lyric:
http://volokh.com/archives/archive_2006_07_23-2006_07_29.shtml#1153684474
As a big fan of '80s alternative, it should be no suprise that I own
more than one [1]Depeche Mode album. While I do not think that their
music was ever particularly original or complex, it had a certain
appeal (particularly when I was in high school and college). I have
not bought a new DM album in a decade or more, but I'll still pop one
in the CD player every now and then.
In my opinion, DM's best album is [2]Black Celebration. (Blogcritics'
[3]Scott Smith agrees.) While darker than some of DM's other stuff, I
think the material is richer and less derivative than some of their
other work as well.
"Here Is the House" is among my favorite tracks on the album. It is
also this week's lyric. It's an appropriate choice now that our new
house is taking shape, and it becomes more of a home. Here is an
excerpt:
Here is the house
Where it all happened
Those tender moments
Under this roof
Body and soul come together
As we come closer together
And as it happens
It happens here
In this house
So we stay at home
And I'm by your side
And you know
What's going on inside
Inside my heart
Inside this house
And I just want to
Let it out for you
You can find the full lyrics [4]here.
