Depeche Mode’s “Just Can’t Get Enough”

 
Michael Gallant
 
 

Ex. 1. Here’s the song’s central riff, shown in the right hand, with the tune’s main bass line written for the left hand. Try the right- and left-hand parts separately in order to nail the syncopation, and then put them together for some classic ’80s electric bounce.

Ex. 2. The band throws a tasty instrumental synth section into the middle of the song; the first major melody from that interlude is shown here.

Ex. 3. Part two of the bridge is shown here, complete with added syncopation and a synth horn walkup to lead back into the A section.
