Notes
In May/June 2020, someone named Paul Spector claimed that his brother had written the lyrics to 'New Life' (you can read that here). In July 2020, a former bandmate of Paul Spector, named Jeff McCall, uploaded a song titled 'Do I Know You' on YouTube, of which its verses carry the same melody as those in Depeche Mode's song 'Dreaming Of Me'. Jeff wrote the following:
"Here is a recording of my former Malicieux Garde bandmate Adam Spector, jamming with his cousin Vince Clarke. Vince is playing drums and singing whilst Adam plays the synths. This was recorded before Composition Of Sound changed their name to Depeche Mode. The Song 'Do I Know You' was written by Adam and was later performed by Malicieux Garde and became a fixture of our live set. You can watch a performance of it here."
Lyrics
Dreaming Of Me
Light switch
Man switch
Film was broken only then
All the night
Fused tomorrow
Dancing with a distant friend
Filming and screening
I picture the scene
Filming and dreaming
Dreaming of me
So we left
Understanding
Clean-cut, so we're sounding fast
Talked of sad
I talked of war
I laughed and climbed the rising cast
Filming and screening
I picture the scene
Filming and dreaming
Dreaming of me
Quickly I remembered
Fused and saw a face before
Timing reason
Understanding
Like association hall
Filming and screening
I picture the scene
Filming and dreaming
Dreaming of me
Just dreaming of me
It's only me
Just me
Songwriter: Vince Clarke
