New Order - Dreams never end (Peel Sessions)

My promise could be your fiend
A given end to your dreams
A simple movement or rhyme
Could be the smallest of signs
We'll never know what they are or care
In it's escapable view
There's no escape so few in fear
Give in a changing value

To be given your sight
Hid in a long peaceful night
A nervous bride for your eyes
A fractured smile that soon dies
A love that's wrong from your life and soul
A savage mine had begun
Hello, farewell to your love and soul
Hello, farewell to your soul

Now I know what those hands would do
No looking back now, we're pushing through
We'll change these feelings, we'll taste and see
But never guess how the him would scream
But never guess how the him would scream
But never guess how the him would scream

@astralislux it refers to ian who was william burroughs fan. The Him were the name of the band that he used in some books.

I love the part when the intro ends and the guitars play just two palm muted notes. Suddenly there's so much space. A truly wonderful song.

It is about Ian. "When we left Ian's funeral we said: "See you at practice." That Sunday afternoon I got the six-string riff to Dreams Never End, which we recorded as New Order. We just put Joy Division in a box and closed the lid, but it enabled the remaining three of us to establish ourselves as New Order."

@astralislux I've always thought that it's referring to Ian Curtis

[astralislux]

If these lyrics are accurate, can someone explain: "But never guess how the him would scream"

[sacrumimperium]

Perfect song.
