Ahhh, once upon a time a young, sensitive Hook thought of this as one of his favorite tunes. I listened to this in the car for about 30 min. & pulled over in a busy parking lot to record with it fresh in my head. I only had 10min. & it took me 4 starts to get through it. Done LITLR in Chrysler 300 Studios this afternoon on the mbr using on board mic.

Because the Hook brings you back
I ain't tellin' you no lie
The hook brings you back
On that you can rely

Nice one, Hook. I don't know the original but I like what you've done. I only know a few Depeche Mode songs and this isn't one of them.

There's obviously a lot of good songs I missed in the 80s .... I think I'd remember more of them if they sounded like this!

Excellent cover Hook !

Great job!  Nice arrangement!
This was one of my favourites for a long time too...

Depeche Mode's best version is the "101 Live" performance.
