Sobre el álbum
El álbum Black Celebration representa el momento en que Depeche Mode se sumerge por completo en la oscuridad, creando su obra más gótica y atmosférica hasta la fecha. En este disco, la banda decide priorizar la cohesión y el ambiente sobre los sencillos evidentes para la radio. El resultado es una experiencia auditiva inmersiva y melancólica, un viaje a través de paisajes sonoros sombríos y letras que exploran el amor, la desesperanza y el anhelo.La producción, liderada por la banda junto a Gareth Jones, es meticulosa y detallada, tejiendo complejas capas de sintetizadores y samplers. La voz de Dave Gahan adquiere una nueva profundidad y madurez, transmitiendo perfectamente la carga emocional de las composiciones de Martin Gore. Por otro lado, canciones como "A Question of Time" o la propia "Black Celebration" se convierten en himnos del rock gótico. Este álbum es una obra cumbre que consolida definitivamente su estatus como iconos de la cultura alternativa.

Letra
Let's have a black celebration Black Celebration Tonight To celebrate the fact That we've seen the back Of another black day I look to you How you carry on When all hope is gone Can't you see Your optimistic eyes Seem like paradise To someone like Me I want to take you In my arms Forgetting all I couldn't do today Black Celebration Black Celebration Tonight To celebrate the fact That we've seen the back Of another black day I look to you And your strong belief Me, I want relief Tonight Consolation I want so much Want to feel your touch Tonight Take me in your arms Forgetting all you couldn't do today Black Celebration I'll drink to that Black Celebration Tonight - Fly On The Windscreen-Final5:18
- A Question Of Lust4:20
Letra
Fragile Like a baby in your arms Be gentle with me I'd never willingly Do you harm Apologies Are all you seem to get from me But just like a child You make me smile When you care for me And you know It's a question of lust It's a question of trust It's a question of not letting What we've built up Crumble to dust It is all of these things and more That keep us together Independence Is still important for us though (we realise) It's easy to make The stupid mistake Of letting go (do you know what I mean) My weaknesses You know each and every one (it frightens me) But I need to drink More than you seem to think Before I'm anyone's And you know It's a question of lust It's a question of trust It's a question of not letting What we've built up Crumble to dust It is all of these things and more That keep us together Kiss me goodbye When I'm on my own But you know that I'd Rather be home It's a question of lust - Sometimes1:53
Letra
Sometimes Only sometimes I question everything And I'm the first to admit If you catch me in a mood like this I can be tiring Even embarrassing But you must Feel the same When you look around You can't tell me honestly You're happy with what you see Oh sometimes Only sometimes You must be You must be As embarrassing as me Sometimes - It Doesn't Matter Two2:50
- A Question Of Time4:10
Letra
I've got to get to you first Before they do It's just a question of time Before they lay their hands on you And make you just like the rest I've got to get to you first It's just a question of time Well now you're only fifteen And you look good I'll take you under my wing Somebody should They've persuasive ways And you'll believe what they say It's just a question of time It's running out for you It won't be long until you'll do Exactly what they want you to I can see them now Hanging around To mess you up To strip you down And have their fun With my little one It's just a question of time It's running out for you It won't be long until you'll do Exactly what they want you to Sometimes I don't blame them For wanting you You look good And they need something to do Until I look at you And then I condemn them I know my kind What goes on in our minds It's just a question of time It should be better It's just a question of time It should be better with you It's just a question of time - Stripped4:16
Letra
Come with me Into the trees We'll lay on the grass And let the hours pass Take my hand Come back to the land Let's get away Just for one day Let me see you Stripped down to the bone Let me see you Stripped down to the bone Metropolis Has nothing on this You're breathing in fumes I taste when we kiss Take my hand Come back to the land Where everything's ours For a few hours Let me see you Stripped down to the bone Let me see you Stripped down to the bone Let me hear you Make decisions Without your television Let me hear you speaking Just for me Let me see you Stripped down to the bone Let me hear you speaking Just for me Let me see you Stripped down to the bone Let me hear you crying Just for me - Here Is The House4:15
Letra
Here is the house Where it all happens Those tender moments Under this roof Body and soul come together As we come closer together And is it happens It happens here in this house And I feel your warmth And it feels like home And there's someone Calling on the telephone Let's stay home It's cold outside And I have so much To confide to you With or without words I'll confide everything Here is the house Where it all happens 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 And I feel your warmth And it feels like home And I feel your warmth And it feels like home Here is the house Where it all happens 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 - World Full Of Nothing2:50
Letra
Close Naked Skin on skin Tears are falling Tears of joy Her first boy His first girl Makes a change In a world full of nothing Though it's not love It means something She's lonely And he says It's for her only That he lusts She doesn't trust him Nothing is true But he will do In a world full of nothing Though it's not love It means something It's easy to slip away And believe it all Though it's not love It means something - Dressed In Black2:32
Letra
She's dressed in black again And I'm falling down again Down to the floor again I'm begging for more again But oh what can you do When she's dressed in black My mind wanders endlessly On paths where she's leading me With games that she likes to play And words that she doesn't say Not when we're alone And she's dressed in black As a picture of herself She's a picture of the world A reflection of you A reflection of me And it's all there to see If you only give in To the fire within Dressed in black again Shadows fall onto me And she stands there over me And waits to encompass me I lay here helplessly But oh what can you do When she's dressed in black Dressed in black again - New Dress3:42

Sex jibe husband murders wife Bomb blast victim fights for life Girl Thirteen attacked with knife Princess Di is wearing a new dress Jet airliner shot from sky Famine horror, millions die Earthquake terror figures rise Princes Di is wearing a new dress You can't change the world But you can change the facts And when you change the facts You change points of view If you change points of view You may change a vote And when you change a vote You may change the world In black townships fires blaze Prospects better premier says Within sight are golden days Princess Di is wearing a New Dress You can't change the world But you can change the facts And when you change the facts You change points of view If you change points of view You may change a vote And when you change a vote You may change the world Princess Di is wearing a New Dress
