Depeche Mode - Stjärna

[franziksa]

I didn´t listen to this song for more than 20 years... I almost forgot about it...It gave me the creeps to listen to it again...

Fantastic masterpiece of music!!!

[Mantcer]

Stjarna .. and others b-side songs are jewels for depeche mode fans.

Depeche Mode is at top 5 bands of all the time (along with Beatles and Pink Floyd).

Music for the UNIVERSE!!!

¿Cómo pudo alguien ponerle "dislike" a esta maravilla? Me da pena su caso.

[OlivierdeLille]

[dringles]

This is just brilliant, so beautiful. Nobody makes mainstream music like this anymore.

It captures the essence of Depeche mode.

The classical influence from Alan Wilder is also apparent.

1986-1992 was the prime of DM. They produced their most powerful music when Wilder was aboard.

[stjarna101dM]

I love this song. Martin is a genius.

[MegaHajni]

I want hear that song on my funeral

[wilfuck]

@MegaHajni You won't hear anything at your funeral.

[MegaHajni]

@wilfuck Who knows, who knows :-) 

[MegaHajni]

I want hear that song on my funeral

[annettefagon1]

this was on the b-side of the little 15 7" i've searched for it for over 20 years, it used to scare the hell out of me - thanks Guro x

[Sledge101]

So how would an English-speaking person pronounce Stjarna, including the a-umlaut?

[beitos44]

@Sledge101 You pronounce it like English word "Share" followed by "na" (as in the beginning of "Number"). "Share-na" or "Share-nu(mber)".

la migliore song depeche

[HOURGLASSdm09]

Stjarna



[CarlMinez]

This music is absolutely stunning. It is just absolutely stunning.

[wjec1970]

@CarlMinez

I agree, this is one of Martin's most beautiful pieces of music ever........and with Alan's wonderful arrangements and production..........just perfect.......x

[jensthiede]

ist das ein Flugzeugträger?

[THALIDO]

Martin Gore is the King of the Minor Key!!

[dolphinsufi]

@THALIDO I can't deny Martin probably played a part but all this undoubtedly Alan Wilder's wizardry. I thought everybody would be aware of this by now.

[ubarbaresi]

@dolphinsufi Don't forget, Martin has written this masterpiece!

[Jarren202]

@dolphinsufi Of course, no DM fan would argue against Alan's undeniable influence on the band but give Martin credit too.

Although, like all DM fans, I long for the day when Alan shakes Martin's hand and Depeche Mode become the four-piece band of legend once again.

Ultra was good, but after Songs Of Faith & Devotion there really has been a stagnancy.

[Jarren202]

@THALIDO Hell yes. Minor key FTW!

[Wildcat72Italy]

@THALIDO That's for sure, but what this song would it be without Alan Wilder's fingers on the keyboard?

[AssistantSensei]

@THALIDO Yeah! They should call the Minor Key, Key of Martin!

[19stretch72]

absolutely beautiful song ;--))

[amaister93]

this is definatly one of my top 10 alltime favorite songs! So beautiful....

Peaceful and emotional, yet really strong and powerful!

10/10

[Tatyanapianista]

Musica é stupenda!!!!suono di pianoforte é molto bello!!!!!Tatyana

[jaldabaoth72]

Que bonito es ese tema!!! ;)

[mogilnyfirefly]

The title of this song is "Stjarna" and nothing else (although "Nothing" is a really nice song to =) There is no swedish letter ä involved. The swedish word for star is Stjärna (im from sweden so i ought to know =)

[GuroSanzo]

@mogilnyfirefly Thanks for posting, I read some minutes ago that this song originally came out with this title, like you said. But I prefer to leave the title like this, it respects your language. Don't you think? And of course I agree about "Nothing".

[TheAnanda9new]

@GuroSanzo Kind words, to a kind Song :o)

[DMJessieSP]

@mogilnyfirefly The song is actually named after the swedish word "stjärna". The reason why the letter "ä" is not used is because there is no such letter in England, but Martin Gore really did name the song "Stjärna". (And I'm from Sweden too so i ought to know)

[jeppeforsberg]

@mogilnyfirefly hade ingen aning om att den menade stjärna, trodde bara det var nåt fult påhittat ord x)

[glcglcglc]

I want to possess this song, it has to be mine, only mine..

[cosmo13dk]

Great track!

Miss Alan!

[laeti29200]

Superbe :)

[GuroSanzo]

Thanks to you for listening.

It's one of my favourite b-sides, very melancholic, looks good in a movie soundtrack, too. It had to be here.
