Easy Tiger Lyrics

Cover art for Easy Tiger lyrics by Depeche Mode

Being one of my favourite instrumentals by DM I thought it deserves at least one comment.

To me it's an example of DM's ability to create wide and detailled acoustic landscapes of melancholy, yearning, hope and even humor.

I especially recommend the Bertrand Burgalat + A S Dragon version featured on the Maxi of Dream On. It's a hilarious conversion to a kind of 70's porn soundtrack with a driving rythm and kinky wahwah guitars.

Since there are no lyrics, a word to the title: It seems to me that the phrase "Easy, Tiger" comes from a movie or TV-show, meaning "Calm down, man", or so. If you know more please feel free to post a comment.

But it strikes me that in the title there is no comma between Easy and Tiger. So I find there is a little shift in the meaning, maybe having a sexual connotation, too. Again, if you have more information it's welcome.
