31 anos de Leave in Silence

Letra:

Leave in Silence

I've told myself so many times before

But this time I think I mean it for sure

We have reached a full stop

Nothing's gonna save us from the big drop

Reached our natural conclusion

Outlived the illusion

I hate being in these situations

That call for diplomatic relations

If I only knew the answer

Or I thought we had a chance

Or I could stop this

I would stop this thing from spreading like a cancer

What can I say? (I don't want to play) anymore

What can I say? I'm heading for the door

I can't stand this emotional violence

Leave in silence

We've been running around in circles all year

Doing this and that and getting nowhere

This'll be the last time

(I think I said that last time)

If I only had a potion,

Some magical lotion

That could stop this, I would stop this

I would set the wheels in motion

What can I say? (I don't want to play) anymore

What can I say? I'm heading for the door

I can't stand this emotional violence

Leave in silence

Compositor: Martin Gore

Vídeo oficial:

"Leave in Silence" is the sixth UK single by Depeche Mode recorded at Blackwing Studios, originally released on 16 August 1982. It is the first Depeche Mode single in the UK with the "Bong" label, which is still used to this day. It is also the first Depeche Mode song to have more than one remix.

"Leave in Silence" appears in four versions. The single is the A Broken Frame version with the small interlude at the end removed. There is also a longer version, and a quieter version, which is an almost a cappella version of the song, except that most of the small samples are still there. The longer version of "Leave in Silence" replaces the album version on the American and Japanese versions of A Broken Frame.

The b-side is "Excerpt From: My Secret Garden", an instrumental version of "My Secret Garden", which along with "Leave in Silence" eventually appeared on A Broken Frame a little more than a month later. "Further Excerpts From: My Secret Garden" is a longer version which appears as a bonus track on the American and Japanese versions of A Broken Frame.

The video for "Leave in Silence" was directed by Julien Temple, and features the band breaking things and talking to each other while wearing face paint. The band disliked the video and did not include it on the Some Great Videos VHS compilation album.

In February 2006, "Leave in Silence" was sung by Martin Gore to a Paris audience, and the song remained in the setlist for the rest of the tour. It is the first time a song from A Broken Frame was played live in almost two decades, when "Leave in Silence" was played during the Black Celebration Tour in 1986.
