I love the old stuff from dm. My favorite is strangelove. I've been a devotee for 15 years and have over 50 cd's from them. They are bootlegged, original and singles. Black Celebration is a great song.
I saw Depeche Mode in Cape Town once and Dave Gahan mentioned something about how people should interpret their songs. He said that most people believe that their songs are motivated by religion. And that this is in fact not true. He revealed that most of their songs are based on relationships and love or sex.
Now, if you will, please listen to the song again and then think about what it means to you.
Look at the album as a whole. It starts off with Black Celebration and talks about finding someone that has had a hard day and the two connect. Then Flies on the windscreen talks about difficulties to be faced. The album goes on to lust and marriage and the death of the loved one. Then the last two songs of the album describes a new love (after the death of the first) and ultimately the album ends in disaster with "But not tonight".

Sounds like every other Depeche Mode song I've ever heard.
