See You

About See You

"See You" is the fourth UK single by Depeche Mode recorded at Blackwing Studios, and the first Depeche Mode single written by Martin Gore. The single was released on 29 January 1982 and was later included on the band's second album A Broken Frame. The single launched a small world tour, with extra band member Alan Wilder, although he did not contribute to the song or the album. There are three versions of "See You"—the 7" single version (3:55), the album version (4:34), and an extended 12" version with a longer intro (4:50). The "Extended Version" and the "Album Version" are almost the same. The "Album Version" fades out about 20 second before the 12" remix does. The B-side to "See You" is "Now, This Is Fun". The extended version has a longer bridge in the middle and an extended ending, with Dave Gahan sometimes shouting "This is funny!" instead of "This is real fun!" Before release "Now, This Is Fun" was called "Reason For Fun". The video for "See You" was directed by Julien Temple. It was also the first video with Alan Wilder. He can be seen briefly playing the piano and he also appears in several photo booth strips. The first part of the video was filmed at Hounslow railway station in London. At the beginning of the video there is a speakerphone, much like the one on the cover of Music for the Masses, released five years later. The band did not like the video, and it did not show up on the 1985 video compilation Some Great Videos, which included the band's videos up to 1985 except the A Broken Frame singles and "Get the Balance Right". more »

 Struggling with See You? Become a better singer in 30 days with these videos!

All I want to do is see you again
Is that too much to ask for?
I just want to see your sweet smile
Smile the way it was before 
Well I'll try not to hold you
And I'll try not to kiss you

And I won't even touch you 
All I want to do is see you
Don't you know that it's true 

I remember the days when we'd walk through the woods
And sit on a bench for a while
I treasure the way we used to laugh and play
And look in each others eyes 
You can keep me at a distance if you don't trust my resistance

But I swear I won't touch you 
All I want to do is see you
Don't you know that it's true 

Well I know five years is a long time
And that times change (oh that times change)
But I think that you will find
People are basically the same (basically the same) 
If the water's still flowing, we can go for a swim
And do the things we used to do
And if I'm reluctant you can pull me in
And we can relive our youth 
Oh but we'll stay friendly like sister and brother

Though I think I still love you
All I want to do is see you
Don't you know that it's true?

Depeche Mode

Depeche Mode ( /dɨˈpɛʃ/) are an English electronic music band formed in 1980 in Basildon, Essex. The group's original line-up consisted of Dave Gahan (lead vocals, occasional songwriter since 2005), Martin Gore (keyboards, guitar, vocals, chief songwriter after 1981), Andy Fletcher (keyboards) and Vince Clarke (keyboards, chief songwriter 1980–81). Clarke left the band after the release of their 1981 debut album, Speak & Spell, and was replaced by Alan Wilder (keyboards, drums, occasional songwriter) with Gore taking over songwriting. Wilder left the band in 1995; Gahan, Gore, and Fletcher have since continued as a trio. more »
