Black Celebration – Monster Magnet (covering Depeche Mode)
...I even have Depeche Mode songs not being done by Depeche Mode. ;) But this version of the song is extra-creepy, and therefore preferred for this list. This is one of those times when a song actually dictated my writing - for this song, it was Part 8 of the story. Part 7 created a pretty "black day" that Devin wasn't exactly prepared to handle.
Let's have a black celebration
A 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 you didn'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
I want to feel your touch tonight
Take me in your arms
Forgetting all you didn't do today
Black celebration
(I'll drink to that)
Black celebration
Tonight
