  • its called love

  • GIVES me GOOSE bumps!

  • Why edit it?

  • Wow

    The way the song is edited down in length totally butchers it. The original 7 minute version is WAY WAY WAAAAAAAAAAAY better.

  • The best New order song in my eyes.

    Not Blue Monday, not Perfect Kiss, this song. If you want to buy Substance for the extended version and instrumental, then do it. That album is worth 20 bucks for the extended of this track

  • The being this video with a paint of DECHIRICO,surrealist italian painter great.......!

  • my dads fave band and now mine years on awsome x

  • something so sad and yet so beautiful about this song, probably the best new order put out after ian topped himself

  • FAC FAC FAC FACing clssic

  • Pinch myself sometimes I think I'm dreaming.

  • Almost like a long lost classic such is the rarity of airplay.

    A band that did everything totally different from the rest.

    Immense!

  • wave is not dead!!!

  • tres bien!

  • adoooooroooooooooooooooooooooo­!!

  • SO BEAUTIFUL MUSIC,PERHAPS THE BEST OF THEM....I JUST TRIP...GOOD TIMES

  • Ive always liked this tune with lyrics better than the instrumental. Nothing new just another factus great and catchy tune.

  • timeless

  • @njaneardude I totally agree....New Order's "Substance" IS timeless....well said.

  • This song graced me. It graced my life and fed my soul as I knew adolescence.

  • One of the best intros to a song. Quintessential 80s.

  • i always return to new order , they were such a quality live band...love this song..

  • 100 stars, amazing!

  • Masterpiece..."dies so quickly, grows so slowly...love."

  • che nostalgia!

  • Beatiful and simple.Nothing more or less to say.

  • reminds me of driving to detroit tiger games with my friend dave maj.this song playing while packing a one-hitter.ahh,the 80s.

  • best song of new order!

  • i always forget this song means so much to me.

  • @auxgens Me too! Beautiful comment.

  • @auxgens same here!

  • Yeah I heard this for the first time in YEARS!!!! the other day on DiG radio Australia and it still sounds GREAT!!!

  • loveliness.

  • ahhh the 80s. :)

  • cool as fuck

  • This is a beautiful song.

  • Listened to these for the 1st time in ages today,this is so powerfull and beautiful at the same time,top song from one of the great bands of all time.

  • Talk about nostalgia- one of my favs from new Order. Thanks for posting!

  • growing up in this era, there was SO much good stuff, I just kinda' took it for granted- never really thought some of the stuff I heard regularly back then would be a lot of my current favs, nothing like nostalgia...

  • I love the part from 2:22 to 2:38, the guitar is awsome in this song as well. Basically the entire song ROCKS!

  • so true... this is exactly why i looked this song up

  • Thief! Thief! Come back with my heart!

  • im here

  • My vinyl copy used to skip, I loved this song...

  • saw New Order LIVE with Echo & The Bunnymen 20 years ago (at least) and still am recovering...mostly due to the void of any comparable music in this brave new millenium

  • Obviously this is one of the greatest tracks of the 1980s

  • I love New Order I actually became a listener until the mid 90s .I Love this song and its like I found a lost treasure. I listen to it anytime and everyday . I love to see people who love New Order as much as I do . I just dont know any personally "wish I did

  • I don't know anyone who loves new order or joy division as much as I do

    It's nice to find a like minded soul

  • This song is spinely chilling...a classic song from the 80s!!

  • I first heard this song when I was living in Brazil. Good memories. Great song!

  • I always think of Pretty in Pink and Molly RIngwald when I hear this song... :)

  • the song was shell shock in the movie.

  • The songs were Thieves Like Us, Shell Shock and Elegia by New Order in the movie Pretty In Pink!!!

  • i remember being dragged in to watch the film and being pleasantly surprised by the sound track

  • actually, this song is playing in the scene when she's sewing her dress, but shell shock is also featured in Pretty in Pink :)

  • This song will always be relevant!

  • their best song

  • Does anyone know the video game being played at the 1:00 mark? I remember playing it years ago, just drawing a blank on the name.

  • Zaxxon on the ATARI ST

  • Zaxon I think.

  • OMG! this song is still awesome!

  • The 12" version is available on their Greatest Hits album "Best Of ?".

    Im not a fan of this 7" version as the kick-ass instrumental part at the beginning is shortened, plus the second verse has been removed as well.

  • Great choon! Still have the 12"

    thanks for posting

  • Love it !!! but i prefer kajagoogoo too shy or spandau ballet gold...which i dismissed at the time

  • Love it, but you cannot beat Kajagoogoo Too Shy or Spandau Ballet Gold

  • My favourite song at the moment :') <3

  • back in the ero off 8-bit computers. good times with Basic programming, saving programs on cassette tapes, and playing vinyls in the basement.

  • I remember after playing it at one gig Barney Sumner said to some rowdy lads, "What a song, the lyrics are poetry. How can you swear after a song like that?"

    He's right, shows that New Order can write a cracking love song. Only they would do it for love of humanity rather than a single individual.

  • we go dancing every monday at upstairs, in st louis. last monday was me birfday. it was packed, chris played this for me. i love him.

  • Still my favorite new order song. Followed by Perfect Kiss.

  • Mine too, followed by 586

  • i love the 80's.

  • Great song. But it's shortened. Sad. Still though. Great song.

  • Short, because it's the 7"/single version!

  • I love this song so much, it made me fall in love with New Order

  • Wow, I heard this for the first time in the fall of 1984. I can still remember the day.

  • I heard this a single time in about 1988 or so. Remembered it since then. Thanks for letting me hear it again.

  • Great Band , great song , thanks for posting,hugs from Brazil

  • Awesome song! Thanks for the post and the memories...
