New Order - Elegia (Full Version) Part 2

[ElectronicMusicUK]

it's too long, why say in 17 mins what u could've easily said in 9 mins?

[raynielbb]

M-O-R-E ... i want it... Less... i need it.

[1707054]

Doesn't this song just say it all?! and it doesnt even need lyrics ha!

[DonnaMandy]

This is the most beautiful piece of music I have ever heard in my life.....not ever the least though..... <3

[starstuff69]

My old friend Elegia...

Fucking genius!Anyone wanna argue with that?

[Spiderhead1000]

Remember this coming out. Beautiful.

[Khiara333]

Elegia is a masterful piece of music.. I never tire of listening to it. And this isn't usually the genre I like.

[SeldomAthleticFC]

At Irvine Meadows, California in '86 the band came back on about 45 minutes after they'd finished with "Perfect Kiss" and played this full version of "Elegia" in all it's glory, followed by "Warsaw", for the benefit of the couple of hundred people who had remained waiting for the car park to empty.

[code3racing]

@SeldomAthleticFC ... I was there! Unfortunately I missed that because my friends "had" to leave. I was so mad when I found out they came back on. This is my favorite song of their by far.

[athrough0]

When I heard the Low-Life verion, I was blown away, but when it started to fade away at a seemingly random point, I was disappointed and confused, since New Order is always so good at timing and structure... and this explains it!

[rjmf24]

Needed to listen to this today....bloody fantastic.

I.C .... RIP.

[rudyprotrudy08]

Watched Peter Hook play this live last night. It was quite haunting but really something else to watch.

[franksmith007]

Every time I play it, the video stops at 5:12. Every time.

[lylymad]

Beautiful, haunting and a bit sad...

[bilgueits]

why is there a change in the audio quatlity between Part I and Part II ( in normal mode ) ?

[iweta1]

it`s so saaaaaad:(

[Zadster]

@iweta1 It is an elegy by the band members to the memory of Ian Curtis. Deeply sad, yet powerful and uplifting, I can't think of a better way for friends to mark his passing. It reminds me a lot of Morricone's Ecstasy of Gold, such passion and pain.

[VRWC01]

it makes me think of an old samurai film

[rararoadrunner]

You know, I hear this song, and you know that image comes to me? Picture the end of a movie: a couple waltzing, sadly but lovingly, in the midst of nuclear fallout. They look into each-other's eyes as the radioactive ash falls upon them, burning the life out of them, knowing that their world is coming to an end, but also that their love will be eternal.

How about you?

[ubbecykelkedja]

When I hear this song, I am reminded we're all stuck in the hampster wheel. Clock in at 8, walk home at 17, rest your batteries a few hours, rinse and repeat, over and over and over.

I partly feel this because I watched the great short movie "More" where this tune was in the background.

[Innomen]

How about me? How about you write a story to go with that image because it's awesome and we demand it.

Go on... I'll wait. *crosses arms*

[wocozman]

id like to listen to it and be in the city and just adjust the music to the things and the people I see and the stories i think about them..

[neodevilbane]

Realizing one must mobilize against a terrible threat. Perhaps a betrayal in the midst.

[JrCashLovecats]

@rararoadrunner Like that part in Watchmen?

[Zenpharian]

LONGEST SONG EVAR

[Innomen]

Not even close, off the top of my head the long version of orbital's the box is over half an hour.

[anbolb]

don't forget Jean-Michel Jarre, the album version of Waiting for Cousteau is nearly 47 minutes

[TheJokerIsDead]

I never heard this song its melancholy

[cheapxchampagne]

I first heard this on an episode of CSI. Doesn't anyone else think that some inspiration of this had to be from Ennio Morricone's work in Once Upon A Time in the West?

[Innomen]

The song has a wiki entry, you might like it.

[cheapxchampagne]

Thanks!

[yyulyanys]

[FlyingLuigiBrothers]

When This song came out, it was really an emo song. But I guess thoughts have changed!

(I actually really like this song the way yall' do!) :-)

[FlyingLuigiBrothers]

Oh, and i also saw it first on the short film MORE (1998) by Mark Osborne!

[Goatmon]

Same.  An absolute masterpiece, both in video and in music.

[grover330]

intense

[inkis12]

This is truly one of the best tracks that ever been made, I just can´t stop love Joy Division and New Order! RIP Ian Curtis!

[voidingindigo]

Thanks for putting this up. I thought the version from "Low Life" was the only one. Now I see that New Order were a jam band after all. :-)

[MoriKAshi]

[shaunyMP72]

[MoriKAshi]

Ahh. I just asked because I was curious. This song is great an all, I finding relaxing and eriee(sorry for my spelling) at the same time.

Thank you. It just the first time I heard it I was expecting lyrics that dealt with Ian Curtis.

[1cutchie]

Thanks for the memories, I'm back at university, smell of new vinyl, thinking of Ian Curtis, nearly in tears, blown away by this entire LP, even today it evokes a certain melancholy.

One Love.

Is this full version from their album Low Life? Thanks for the upload, fantastic song.

The Low Life version is an edited 6 minuet version of this song. This particual one is from a rare bonus CD found in their compilation boxset, Retro.
