2021 has been a pretty exciting year, to put it kindly. The desire for at least a different, if not above all a more hopeful 2022 is likely to be great for many of us.

But what is the ideal way to start the new year? With the right song, of course, and in this case it could be Depeche Mode’s “Never Let Me Down Again”.

If you play the 1987 track from the Music for the Masses album at exactly 11:56:18 p.m. on New Year’s Eve, Martin Gore sings “See the stars, they’re shining bright, everything’s alright tonight” when the new one year from the fireworks, which can only be heard very far away due to the Corona firecracker ban. That’s what the Ultra Depeche Mode fan site found out.

New Year’s Eve also works with Phil Collins

Those who prefer not to toast 2022 with Depeche Mode can make themselves comfortable with Phil Collins!

The so-called “drum break” in “In The Air Tonight” is world famous – in 1981 Collins introduced the gated reverb sound (like a jackhammer without reverb) with his use of drums, turning a sultry ballad into a killer song in a matter of 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 beats come exactly at midnight.

The question is whether this song would be a good omen: it proclaims an unknown approaching but dramatic event.
