2023 was, to put it mildly, a pretty exciting year. The desire for at least a different, if not more hopeful, 2024 is likely to be great for many of us.
But how do you start the new year ideally? With the right song of course, and in this case that could be “Never Let Me Down Again” by Depeche Mode.
If you play the 1987 piece from the album “Music for the Masses” on New Year’s Eve at exactly 11:56:18 p.m., then Martin Gore sings “See the stars, they’re shining bright, everything’s alright tonight” when the new one The year is heralded by fireworks. This is what the fan site “Ultra Depeche Mode” found out.
New Year’s Eve is also with Phil Collins
If you prefer not to toast 2024 with Depeche Mode, you can make yourself comfortable with Phil Collins!
The so-called “drum break” in “In The Air Tonight” is world famous – in 1981, Collins established the gated reverb sound (like a jackhammer without reverb) with his use of drums, turning a sultry ballad into a killer sound within seconds. Song.
Some time ago, Collins announced on Twitter when “In The Air Tonight” could find its ideal use: at the turn of the year at 11:56 p.m. and 40 seconds. Because then the blows come exactly at midnight.
The question is whether this song would be a good omen: It announces an unknown, yet dramatic, approaching event.
