Day 26: Xanax for the Soul

Day 26 – A Depeche Mode song that “takes you off to another place” 

There are actually quite a few answers to this question – it’s one of the reasons I love DM. Exciter’s “Shine” has to be one of my favorite examples. It doesn’t matter how upset I am, if I plant my arse down and listen to it, I feel better. It lifts my spirits when I’m down, and calms me when I’m angry. It’s centering, somehow, and makes it easy to relax and meditate on my problems. (Though I generally consider the whole of Exciter the best prescription for anxiety, without the side effects of medication of one’s liver and kidneys.)

Amanda is an enthusiastic, globe-trotting Mode fan who discovered the band in late 1998. Although she often feels like she got a late start in the Depeche Mode's career, she's survived nearly 20 years of the fandom, five new albums and multiple meetings with her love for the band intact (and stronger than ever). Amanda is a life-long creative, a classically trained graphic designer, working professionally as a User Experience Designer for one of the world's largest technology companies. When not at work or traveling for Depeche, she enjoys character illustration, comics, movies and Japanese Culture. And cats. Lots of Cats.
