Define Singer-songwriter Meaning

Singer-Songwriter
If you want to make it in the music industry, just put on a pair of skinny jeans and a stupid hat and play some cheesy campfire songs on an acoustic guitar. Label yourself as a singer-songwriter and boom! You've made it! No matter how much you suck. Your pathetic attempt at writing music will instantly be mistaken for real talent.

"Who's this pathetic little hipster who can't write decent music for shit? Oh wait, he's a singer-songwriter? OH MY GOD his songs are so deep and meaningful and so much better than all the other crappy modern music of today! Please have my babies, mister singer-songwriter!

Depeche Mode Lead Singer/co-songwriter
Dave Gahan. Formerly known as a lead singer only, but on Playing the Angel (2005 album) he penned three superlative songs: Suffer Well; I Want it All; and Nothing's Impossible, along with Martin L. Gore's always painfully beautiful songs.
Dave Gahan also released his first solo album, Paper Monsters, in 2003. Highly recommended if you are a true DM or Dave fan.

Martin L. Gore

The Depeche Mode lead singer/co-songwriter is Dave Gahan. Martin L. Gore is also equally talented because he is also in Depeche Mode. He is DM's lead songwriter and co-singer. That's why I love Depeche Mode a lot.
