DEPECHE MODE: A question of time?

Automatic translation. Improvements are constantly being worked on.

Depeche Mode’ssingle “A Question of Time” was released 39 years ago today on August 11, 1986. Did you already know these 5 facts?

★ The video clip for “A Question of Time” was the first to be created in collaboration with Anton Corbijn.

★ Each band member holds a baby in their arms in the clip. Ouch! One of them grabs Martin Gore’s hair and pulls it extensively, while Martin, albeit slightly insecure, has to laugh about it.

★ The video is in elegant black and white. The band performs the song on stage, while the actual plot is shown in between.

★ The song title is presented in the form of a clock, in which first babies and later the band members are the hands.

★ “A Question of Time” was shot two hours away from Los Angeles. As is often the case for video shoots, the day began before five in the morning.
