Autoplay

'Depecher', I discovered,
means 'hasten', 'be quick'.
Is the name of the band
to do with what the band is about:
does it mean 'in the fast lane' or 'flat out'?

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM

4.5.21. When explaining the choice for the new name, taken from French fashion magazine Dépêche mode, [18] Gore said, 'It means hurried fashion or fashion dispatch. I like the sound of that.'[19] However, the magazine's name (and hence the band's) is 'Fashion News' or 'Fashion Update'[20] (dépêche, 'dispatch' or 'news report', from Old French despesche/despeche, and mode or 'fashion') .
