Readers found themselves in a Depeche mode for Dave Gahan’s ominous, flickering “Kingdom” video and “Digitalism” instrumental, calling the material some of his best work in years. Well, here we are with the darkly balladic, slightly echoing anthem “Saw Something” and its soporific peephole video. It opens with shuteye Gahan awaking to watch the world’s pretty half-speed crawl: a faucet drips, cigarette smoke billows, a lovely but distressed lady in a black slips into an elevator. And, of course, there’s the requisite old inquisitive woman and her little dog. Gahan’s position in the narrative? Like, does he want somebody to share the rest of his life with?
Nope, he disappears into the crowd. Man, that’s one sharp-dressed Gahan. And he’s aged well. Maybe it’s because his world moves so slowly.

This looks to be simply a compliation of clips from previous Depeche Mode (Useless) and Dave Gahan (Kingdom) videos. For shame.
This is some fan made thing, not an actual video.
Amazing song though.
The real new Dave Gahan video for “Saw Something” was released today. Funny u got em mixed up…yours is a fan video.

Hey Nutlips, thanks. Yeah, we realized our error and were in fact fixing/rewriting the post when you commented. We got confused after seeing the actual new video and then clicking around and watching more GahanTube. The fan vid has its merits, but this is definitely a better song. Anyhow, we were up until 4 a.m. coding the Gummys, so brains are not working 100%. More coffee? Please?
