Brilliant track! This is why the 80's were so damn great. We need a new New Order LP ASAP. I really liked the track they produced for Gwen.

Love the lyrics:

Every time I think of you
I feel shot right through with a bolt of blue
It's no problem of mine
But it's a problem I find
Living a life that I can't leave behind
But there's no sense in telling me
The wisdom of the fool won't set you free
But that's the way that it goes
And it's what nobody knows
well every day my confusion grows

Every time I see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray
I'm waiting for that final moment
You say the words that I can't say

I feel fine and I feel good
I'm feeling like I never should
Whenever I get this way
I just don't know what to say
Why can't we be ourselves like we were yesterday
I'm not sure what this could mean
I don't think you're what you seem
I do admit to myself
That if I hurt someone else
Then I'll never see just what we're meant to be

Every time I see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray
I'm waiting for that final moment
You say the words that I can't say

they have an album coming out early next year, i believe.

would u recommend this to me for downloading?

Depends on your tastes. I recommend everyone go out and buy a New Order collection but download this, Blue Monday, Perfect Kiss, and some other classics to see if you appreciate them.

My favorite New Wave songs are "Black Velveteen" by Lenny Kravitz and "I Just Cant Get Enough" by Depeche Mode, "Devin Dazzle" Felix Da Housecat.

If you like "Just Can't Get Enough", you'll probably like a lot of New Order. New Order usually has more melancholy lyrics and an eerie tone to their work but they sound a lot like "JCGE" production-wise.

For a very different and refreshing version, try Frente's version of this song. Short but sweet

I love that acoustic remake.

I think Brotherhood overall is the best New Order record (though if I'm in an artier mood I'll go for Power, Corruption and Lies). Way of Life is the great unheard New Order song IMO.

Gotta love 'Bizarre Love Triangle'; my favorite New Order song ever.


Gwen Stefani's new song, however, sounds exactly like 'Bizarre Love Triangle', with a little bit of 'True Faith' thrown in for good measure. It seems less like New Order influence (they didn't produce the song, only played/sang on it) than a straight up rip off of their music.

There's even a Chinese-language remake of the Frente acoustic remake. I almost fell out of the bus I was riding on when I heard it. I adore Frente...

AWESOME track. I just love that 1st line!

I love it! (you can hear it in Married to The Mob) and the acoustic cover by Frente too , if you like BLT get This Is The Day by The The

One of my absolute favorite bands. Their music makes me feel like no one else's. Pure ecstasy. And that song is one of their most singable, danceable, memorable tracks. The Shep Pettibone remix is the best version. And GrayKing is right. Their new stuff is due in February.

Here's what Gwen said about the track they did together:

"That song was a song I had written with Linda, and the version that we did was like cheese-central," the No Doubt singer told the Sun recently. "But it was based on early Madonna, New Order-y, inspiration. It was my favourite song and when I played it for (producer Nellee Hooper) I was embarrassed.

That's how nerdy I thought the song was. But I knew there was a great song in it. We ended up saying, 'Wow, we can't find a home for this, production-wise.' And we went through all these different loops, and then we ended up saying, 'Well, let's go to the source. Let's see if New Order will play.' And I'd been kind of stalking those guys 'cause I wanted to write with them, but they were doing their own record and we never hooked up. But then they said they would do it. They were going to play it and then give it back to us and they would work from there (England)."

One of the 80's finest records!
