Chicago. Medusas. 16 years old. There was an unknown band playing that night….it was Ministry…and this song sounded incredible LIVE…never having heard anything like it. The scene was goth, punk, grunge, skaters, preppies all dancing. It was AMAZING. Still takes me to that time and place. I could not take my eyes off the stage!

Huffing Medusa?!?! Noice Thems were peak years to be peaking you may have 5 or 6 years on me but still got to remember 70s music highschool with 80s the leave home to 90s music. It's all gone to shite. I can't fathom growing up like this generation is!!!! Dudes scared of girls. Don't even go to a club on the weekend probably never been in one period. I mean I had alot of life experience and still didn't figure it out. These kids are going to get so taken advantage of and played. We got played the difference being we gave zero F s about politics and the news. Imagine??? Or at least in my experience. I'm sure there were plenty of award people. But I thought I was so much more aware cause I was in the underground scene dooood 🤣 I miss college radio and listening to bandds no one heard of. Yada yada I'm digressing real bad. It was fun. PeaCe

The band performed the song on tour in 1984, and in 1986, with Jourgensen releasing the live album, 'Toronto 1986', which includes the song on the tracklist."

It’s not about Halloween. In the early to mid 80’s people would ask us if we were ‘dressed for Halloween,’ no matter what time of year. We were a tiny segment of the youth culture, despite modern media’s view of the 80’s. Most people were way too normal! And we just wanted to keep them ‘at bay.’

Had to relocate to NYC for 1st job out of college in 1988. Met new people who turned me on to this music (and Moev and Sisters of Mercy, etc etc.) and life was changed for the better. We just wanted to be 'different', as do most young folks. Not quite Goth but...... Anyway, my then-girlfriend and I would sometimes go our separate ways on the weekend so--as she said to me-- "You can go listen to your freaky music w/your freaky friends" -- while she and her wealthy friends (I wasn't) would go listen to Dirty Dancing and whatnot. I was crushed when we broke up; thought she was The One, but maybe it turned out for the best. This song and others like it instantly take me back to the crazy days of my GenX youth.

" *Al Jourgensen, famed lead singer of the decadent punk rock band Ministry, may wish to forget about his Brit-tinged 1984 underground club hit (Every Day Is) Halloween - but thirty-three years later, the song is still infamous among the dark and decadent music fans of the new millennium.* Back in the heyday of Chicago alternative music, any youth browsing through the vinyl records at Chicago's Wax Trax was sure to find a multitude of bands to select and purchase. Of the many popular bands in the city at that time, Ministry was one of the more popular and commercially successful.. People were drawn to the intense rhythms and urgent darkness - the lyrics are simple, but ring true no matter what decade. Once upon a time, in the 1980's, it was considered decadent to wear all black, have black make-up, and especially style one's hair to be wild and androgynous (think: Robert Smith of The Cure or Souixsie from Souixsie and the Banshees). In the 1980's, to have a gothic appearance was considered too wild and unacceptable. Bullying ran rampant towards anyone who dared to be different. Enter bands like vintage Ministry, who spoke to the alternative children of the Chicago suburbs, promising through their lyrics that everything was going to be alright - that Halloween was meant to be celebrated everyday, not just once a year, and that the black clothes, black veils, pale skin, and black eyeliner were to be celebrated, not condemned. Ministry is still relevant today, dropping albums and singing about the world through bitter eyes." *By: S.L.

Les Deffner I've always liked the first two albums way more than anything else they put out. Im a huge fan of industrial/angry music but feel Jorgenson's synthpopsongs were way better.of a contribution than anything off rape, filth pig, etc

2024 and this song and the other early Ministry is still oh so important to me .. I remember as a little kid just new to the USA in El Paso and sneaking in to a club called Lost Iguana in 1984 with this music inviting me inside to see a huge number of youth all dressed in goth and getting funky on the dance floor.. I was hooked after that and still remember the vibe and everything.

I'm also not gonna lie... I'm apparently much older, and go the other way as I became a fan of Ministry in high school (1982) with "cold life", then when "With Sympathy" was released (1983) locked me in - sure, poppy and hip to the times - not his favorite project... but put Ministry on my radar and I followed through their changes and appreciated the flavor and intensity - the much later stuff not my favorite, but I get it, and it has creative qualities. rock on.
