Here’s another Video post.
An old song by one of my favorite bands.
Depeche Mode’s Somebody.
My good friend, Avelyn requested this song and challenged me to do another Video.
And when I say “challenged,” I meant she pressured me.
But that’s ok.
I can’t say no to a song that means a lot to me.
I remember having this song on constant repeat on my cassette player,
if you guys remember what a cassette player is.
Anyway, Here is,
Somebody
Music by Depeche Mode
Covered by yours truly.
I did it on guitars to have a different feel from a piano.
And Video Recorded on Black and White to have that “Nostalgic” feel.

Lyrics start here
*SOMEBODY*
I want somebody to share, share the rest of my life
Share my innermost thoughts, know my intimate details
Someone who’ll stand by my side and give me support
And in return she’ll get my support
She will listen to me when I want to speak
About the world we live in and life in general
Though my views may be wrong, they may even be perverted
She’ll hear me out, and won’t easily be converted
To my way of thinking in fact she’ll often disagree
But at the end of it all she will understand me
I want somebody who cares for me passionately
With every thought and with every breath
Someone who’ll help me see things in a different light
All the things I detest I will almost like
I don’t want to be tied to anyone’s strings
I’m carefully trying to steer clear of those things
But when I’m asleep I want somebody
Who will put their arms around me, kiss me tenderly
Though things like this make me sick
In a case like this I’ll get away with it
My dearest friend Ty. Thank you so much for accepting the challenge of doing this video. And you have proven yourself to be a very talented person. This song means so much to me. I remember how my now “Ex boyfriend” danced to this song and it was so romantic. February 23rd is supposedly our anniversary. It’s so sad that we will never dance to this song again. I have to admit that from time to time I still play your video. Ironically the more I listen to it, the more I fell in love with the song. Without even having the glimpes of the past anymore.
I guess I am cured and now ready to move on and find myself another song : )
My pleasure, Avie!
Thank you so much too for listening.
I really appreciate it.
This is one of my favourite songs as well.
It means a lot to me too. =)
Thank you again.
TY

Hi Jhoanna! Thank you so much. I really appreciate it. Does your son play too?
I am doing better, thanks for asking. And yes, will have to go through some therapy.
Thank you for taking the time to listen to my stuff.
Take care.
Ty
