I'm going to reiterate what I said in my last comment. This video is, by definition, SATIRE. New Order is poking fun at the glam rock horseshit that was coming out at the time. They weren't trying a new look. They weren't changing the style of their music to get more fans. They were having fun at the expense of the popular music of the mid to late 80's. Anyone who can't see that may need some remedial schooling in life, culture, music and most things that people understand before the age of 6.
I meant to write something along the lines of how ugly they look in this video. But then I noticed that somehow Gillian managed to be as gorgeous as always.
You never looked at me in a sexual way in your life before?Even if you did,I would have never ever minded it at all.(lol)I just love this song eversince I could remember.I wish I could go back to the 80's.Long live the 80's!!!!
i think its a hipster thing really to trash new order for forming after the death of ian curtis, there is not a single hipster idiot who doesnt wanna look like the biggest curtis/jd fan, but since they know absolutley nothing about their music, apart from the fact that they heard ''shes lost control'' and ''love will tear us apart'' and that they own an unknown pleasures tshirt, they need to make statements like those to look hip, all jd/new order fans, ignore those idiots, cheers
This is the song that was playing over the theater's sound system just before I walked down the aisle at my wedding - completely by accident.
"I was touched by the hand of God ... I never knew it, but of course I was."
It still gives me the same chills it did then - 23 years ago.
When I'm really angry or frustrated being married, I play this song, and remember why I made the choice. It helps put all the daily shit into perspective.
Great song, fun video, but judging from the comments on here, I guess there's no room for both metal and "talented and spiritual" New Order music? There's only so much space in the world of rock n roll that Hair Metal took up New Order's space? lol ridiculous.
@MCas1970 I was just thinking that, I mean how many Def Leppard fans would have liked New Order if leppard hadn't shown up? it's ridiculous now I think about it.
soo, I have tried to figure out what is the meaning of the lyrics, whats the point? I love this song and I like when I cant figure out a meaning for lyrics
There's a big difference between studying music history and learning about music history. Next time you study something try and learn about it, that way you may not feel compelled to write nonsense on here.
@canuck21 "Atmosphere" is spiritual to me, as well as several other of JD's tunes. I find them a good deal more moving than New Order. Then again, it's all opinion anyway. Musical appreciation isn't like math. There are no absolutes.
@puzleboy I agree, this is not math and to each his own. "Atmosphere" is a real special song that evokes deep emotions in me, but it's still not spiritual. I guess it's because spiritual means something else to me. JD songs are somber and NO are more upbeat, but NO songs move me as much but in a different way. "True Faith" means a lot to me, but in my own interpretation (I never tried drugs); it brings out as much feeling as "Atmosphere". "Your Silent Face" is very soothing which no JD songs do.
@puzleboy Basically, JD's tunes are more romantic in general and NO's are more down to earth. I relate more to NO's lyrics (when I know what they mean LOL) than to JD's. My state of mind is simply far from Ian Curtis'; I'm for of a "Regret" type of person.
I had heard Blue Monday, but this was the first time I've seen the band, when this video played out TOTP. Very strange experience...that New Order band, in my head was now synonymous with metalic over-cacks. The Baywatch themed Regret appearance is a goodun as well
The first time I saw this music video back more than 20 years ago,I thought,"this is a new wave-synth pop-post punk era band,dressed in hard rockin' heavy metalers!"
Wow, I don't know who those guys are in the video but looks like they'd be a whole lot more fun than this band who recorded this dirge.... I particularly like it when they explode. Maybe new Order should try that, this sounds like Teletubbies on lemonade!
@consternation6 huh? the gys in the vid are new order. And sonny jim, if you knew muscal history you'd know how they influenced it. Saying that..this was their most pop-worst tune. Love you.
@Airwaves1914 What's New Order's worst pop tune? If you ask me, it's "Jetstream"; I can't stand that awful song. I cringe every time I hear it and it's even worse when I see the video.
@consternation6 Come on, it's a good pop song. Nothing ground-braking or deep, but it's a fun tune. It has a good catchy melody and that is my main requirement for a good song.
You really don't know New Order? Believe it or not, they're a pretty influential band, at times even innovative when they want to. They're also very interesting; you rarely find a band with more history than New Order.
you too can have hair like this! All is not lost. First wet your hair and towel dry it to where it is just damp. take one full can of mousse and use it liberally. For harder to control hair use two cans. This is the tricky part. Prop up a hair dryer somehow and turn it on full blast toward your head. This is the painful part. Stick your toe in the closest electrical socket and hold til hair is completely dry! When done cover yourself in some body spray to get rid of the burned smell!!!
this is the funny side of NO. Watching this video who have thought that they came from the gloomy band Joy Division, Ian Curtis is a very troubled guy and a genious at the same time. The rest of the guys tried to change the image when Ian committed suicide but you can still feel his anger & frustration in their songs.
I'm amazed that the director had Gillian Gilbert in that outfit, but spent most of the time pointing the camera at Peter Hook's codpiece. A missed opportunity there.

@SkankExpose Nice comment but I don't think that NO 'dominated' the mid 80's. PWL dominated the 80's, Duran Duran a bit of it..NO has always been sort of an underground and cool pop band. The problem was that some rockers of the 80's felt that THEY were on the right side..and the rest was shit..

Such a hilarious video. I almost turned it off thinking there was some mistake. Then I recognized the boys under all that lame glam. This song has power that makes it a sleeper song. It never did get the respect it merited.
@itsallgoodtoo To synthetic......That is the point with synthesizers but, synthetic sounds are just as badass and bands like this proved it so. If its not your taste they used to be called joy division and they had a less synthetic sound.
@itsallgoodtoo Not it isn't Planet P Project, thank goodness. Planet P Project sounds so awfully dated. Some New Order songs are heavy in synths but even then they sound more contemporary than Planet P Project. Listen to songs like Everything's Gone Green. That's electronic that still sounds new and unique until today.
@canuck21 thanks for the new song i never heard...just to let you know this is not my style of music but i am open to it all. More of a metal head but i respect good music and there is something to this music.
@itsallgoodtoo How much do you know of New Order? I'm not much of an electronic music fan anymore but I do love New Order. They're just a different kind of electronic band, they're more organic than the others. The reason probably because of their roots. These guys (minus the female) used to be a punk band. Have a listen to Interzone - Warsaw (Joy Division). Their singer was the late Ian Curtis, a true poet.
stoniq you gotta understand that my comment was written with love and care about music...think about this...does the director make the vid good or does the band need said talent to make something that it isnt...at least it is not lady gaga... thats a whole other story
@lesheifner - my 10-year old daughter wouldn't realize that this is satire... does that make her 'seriously educationally subnormal'? you're ignorant.
@nootron9 No. Your 10-year-old daughter is ten years old. (Perhaps 11 now.) If she gets a good upbringing, she'll understand what satire is, or at least what it seems to be.
@SuperSweaterVest The definition of satire: "The use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices." If you can't see that in this video, I wouldn't recommend reading The Onion.
@SuperSweaterVest Hmmmmm. Satire: "The use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices" Hopefully you're being satirical.
Their video for Perfect Kiss was directed by Oscar winning director Jonathan Demme. So two oscar winning directors behind their vids. There's one to impress yer mates this Friday over a few pints and a bag o dry roasted!

hello again...i do get it...i think you should relax a bit. This type of music i just too synthetic to enjoy....it no Planet P Project

@itsallgoodtoo To synthetic......That is the point with synthesizers but, synthetic sounds are just as badass and bands like this proved it so. If its not your taste they used to be called joy division and they had a less synthetic sound.

@itsallgoodtoo Not it isn't Planet P Project, thank goodness. Planet P Project sounds so awfully dated. Some New Order songs are heavy in synths but even then they sound more contemporary than Planet P Project. Listen to songs like Everything's Gone Green. That's electronic that still sounds new and unique until today.

@canuck21 thanks for the new song i never heard...just to let you know this is not my style of music but i am open to it all. More of a metal head but i respect good music and there is something to this music.

@itsallgoodtoo How much do you know of New Order? I'm not much of an electronic music fan anymore but I do love New Order. They're just a different kind of electronic band, they're more organic than the others. The reason probably because of their roots. These guys (minus the female) used to be a punk band. Have a listen to Interzone - Warsaw (Joy Division). Their singer was the late Ian Curtis, a true poet.

stoniq you gotta understand that my comment was written with love and care about music...think about this...does the director make the vid good or does the band need said talent to make something that it isnt...at least it is not lady gaga... thats a whole other story

Anyone who doesn't realize that this is satire is seriously educationally subnormal.

@lesheifner - my 10-year old daughter wouldn't realize that this is satire... does that make her 'seriously educationally subnormal'? you're ignorant.

@nootron9 Admittedly, I messed up with that comment. I forgot to mention that I'm educationally subnormal as well.
lesheifner 1 year ago
@nootron9 No. Your 10-year-old daughter is ten years old. (Perhaps 11 now.) If she gets a good upbringing, she'll understand what satire is, or at least what it seems to be.

@lesheifner The irony is by 1989 New Order had themselves become a stale copy of other music. Talk about throwing stones from a glass house!

@ajdicks Yeah but at least they didn't look like they are in this video. Their music may have regressed but they never looked like clowns.

@lesheifner NOT a satire moron. You're a pseudo intellectual bullshitter.

@SuperSweaterVest The definition of satire: "The use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices." If you can't see that in this video, I wouldn't recommend reading The Onion.

@SuperSweaterVest Hmmmmm. Satire: "The use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule to expose and criticize people's stupidity or vices" Hopefully you're being satirical.

@lesheifner Not really. The norm nowadays is to be a fucking moron anyway.

@14istheluckynumber I actually borrowed that phrase from Ricky Gervais. Perhaps you should tell him what you think.

@lesheifner that explains it then.

Their video for Perfect Kiss was directed by Oscar winning director Jonathan Demme. So two oscar winning directors behind their vids. There's one to impress yer mates this Friday over a few pints and a bag o dry roasted!
