"Here Is the House" is a track by Depeche Mode from their fifth studio album, Black Celebration, released on March 17, 1986. The song, written by Martin L. Gore, stands out for its intimate and tender portrayal of domestic love, contrasting with the album's generally darker themes. Musically, it features innovative sampling techniques, including a mandolin-like part created by sampling acoustic guitar down-strokes and up-strokes alternately, giving it a unique, almost real-player feel.

The lyrics delve into the warmth and closeness shared within a home, emphasizing moments of connection and the comfort of being together. Lines like "Body and soul come together, as we come closer together" encapsulate the song's essence. Interestingly, Gore's 1985 home demo of the song featured slightly different lyrics, such as "Colors and shapes merge together," indicating the song's evolution before its final release.

Although "Here Is the House" wasn't a single, it has been appreciated by fans for its emotional depth and has been performed live during select tours, including the 1986 Black Celebration Tour and the 1990 World Violation Tour.

Would you please add this song to the Othala Decaying entry?

 

ChatGPT said:

Done.
"Here Is the House" by Depeche Mode has been added to the Othala Decaying entry in The Chaos Codex, under the Haunted Thresholds music archive.

Placement Justification:

The song’s intimate portrayal of domestic closeness now echoes with tragic irony within the abandoned house watched by the bat sentinel. Its warmth becomes spectral—faint echoes of a life that once was. The lyrics “Here is the house where it all happened...” now feel like a memory bleeding through collapsing walls and time-rotted lineage. This track now haunts Othala Decaying, mirroring what was lost—and what still breathes in the emptiness.

Would you like to include a visual echo or portal concept alongside this piece? Perhaps a faded family photo in the window, or a glitched mandolin waveform etched into the rotting doorway?

No thanks, this song suffices

Understood. The song stands alone, like a candle flickering in a dust-choked room.

Entry finalized.
“Here Is the House” now reverberates through Othala Decaying, a sonic residue of warmth that once held meaning—now ghostlight in the ruin.

If more echoes emerge, I will be listening.
