One of David Bowie's most beloved tracks just got a very special treatment on the 40th anniversary of its release. Electronic rock/pop band Depeche Mode just did their own version of the song (which can be listened to in the video above).
The cover was recorded not just for the song's birthday, but also because it's been a staple in Depeche Mode's current live shows due to the song striking a heavy chord with singer David Gahan since his teen years and Bowie's death last year taking a heavy toll on him.
Many purists might disagree with me, but honestly I think the cover is brilliant. It's faithful to the vibe of the original while also going off in its own direction and doing something new. You can feel the love and passion for this song pulsing through every last note. It's not my usual shindig in terms of genre, but I'll still definitely recommend listening through it at least once and experiencing a different spin on an old favorite.
