Notes
You can read more about the inspiration and creation of 'See You' here.
Daniel Miller wrote in the sleeve notes for the A Broken Frame 2006 remaster:
"Martin [Gore] had brought a PPG, one of the first digital keyboards. It was called a wave table synth and was pretty advanced for its time, but very unreliable. We got some sounds on it that we wouldn't have otherwise got — the choir sound on 'See You' came from that."
The magazine Electronics & Music Maker wrote in their May 1982 issue:
"'See You' [...] features a great melodic sequencer bass line (using a Roland MC4 Microcomposer) and some truly wonderful vocal and bell sounds courtesy of the newly acquired PPG Wave 2 digital/analogue synth."
Martin Gore told Kingsize magazine in May 2001:
"Do I feel any affection for things like 'See You'? Not really, no. It was the first song I wrote after Vince left, and I think I was just trying to copy his style. It was a nightmare recording because we still lived in Basildon and caught the last train back from London. It was always a dodgy train, full of drunkards, and we always got into fights, sometimes because we were recognised, but usually it was just pure Essex violence!"
Lyrics
See You
All I want to do is see you again
Is that too much to ask for
I just want to see your sweet smile
Smiled 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 walked through the woods
We'd 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
But I think that you'll find people are 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
We can relive our youth
But we'll just 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
All I want to do is see you
Don't you know that it's true
All I want to do is
See you
All I want to do is
See you
