Weird guitar riff: Ryan explains this Depeche Mode classic
Off-key brilliance
Ryan, from Lizard Mornings on 104.7 The LIZARD, reflects on a completely unique chord progression in Depeche Mode's "Enjoy the Silence".
Watch the video to see him break down exactly what makes this shift so unusual in the Depeche Mode hit from 1990. It was the band's highest charting single in the U.S., at number 8. It got to number 14 in Canada.
Also, Ryan's very much interested if you can name any other track that makes this unique musical move?
