Lyrics
It was January, 1963
When Johnny came home with a gift for me
He said I bought it for you because I love you
And I bought it for you because it's your birthday, too
He was so very nice, he was so very kind
To think of me at this point in time
I used to think of him, he used think of me
He told me to close my eyes
My gift would be a great surprise
I saw tears were in his eyes
He never meant to hurt me
Oh, God, Johnny, don't point that gun at me
There's so many ways our lives have changed
But please, I beg, don't do this to me
Johnny, don't point that gun at me
Can I save my life at any price?
For God's sake won't you listen to me?
And though he was ashamed that he had took a life
Johnny came home with another wife
And he often remembered how it used to be
Before that special occasion, 1963
There was too many ways that you could kill someone
Like in a love affair, when the love is gone
He told me to close my eyes
My gift would be a great surprise
I saw hatred in his eyes
He never meant to hurt me
Oh, God, Johnny, don't point that gun at me
There's so many ways our lives have changed
But please, I beg, don't do this to me
Johnny, you keep on using me
Can I change my life for any price?
Oh, Johnny, won't you listen to me?
He told me to close my eyes
My gift would be a great surprise
I saw hatred in his eyes
But he never meant to hurt me
Oh, God, Johnny, don't point that gun at me
There's so many ways our lives have changed
But please, I beg, don't do this to me
Johnny, you keep on using me
Can I change my life for any price?
Oh, Johnny, won't you listen to me?
I just want you to be mine,
I don't want this world to shine
I don't want this bridge to burn
Oh, Johnny, do you miss me?
I just want to feel for you
I will always feel for you...

The video was originally released in 1995 & stars Jane Horrocks. It was originally released as a B-side to "True Faith" in 1987, and appeared on the Substance compilation of the same year. It was then released as a single in January 1995, in a radio mix by Arthur Baker.

[@deebeenine]

"1963" is my all-time New Order favourite and deserves a real "Extended Mix" that's longer than the official 12" Mix with just 05:38 min. running time

[@oskarobit]

I don't understand. Blue Monday IS AS IT IS, it always have been a 12" single with seven minutes and a half length, that is its natural state. At least is what I bought in 1983: A side Blue Monday, B side The Beach. There's a previous version of 1963 in Substance, in the Collector's Edt. of Brotherhood and as a B side of True Faith, the length is 5:32

[@HaHaThatIsFunny]

I used to think that the day would never come

Bought True Faith 12" the day of release and this absolute gem sat on the opposite side. Albeit a different version to this offering, it was played many hundreds of times that summer and still moves me 37 years later. Timeless.

Masterpiece

[@MortenLongbottom]

This was one my favorites back in time, not the usual New Order electro-pop/new-wave, however I really loved it, 2:27 those synths are epic, from another world. 2023 and still don't find the relation between the video and the lyrics.

[@350125GOW]

New Order don't do what everyone else does.

Ha ha 😂 At least the title is part of the lyrics ... so not a typical NO song.

[@rogerioverg]

Nice song ❤

[@emanoelmarcelino9716]

Best song! 🇧🇷🎶🤘

[@ronaldhitchings1847]

The version of this song that accompanied the video is very basic. The much more layered, complex version from Substance 1987 (2023 master) has this song at re-imagined, audiophile quality. Now, one of my favorite songs from Substance 1987. There is a four disc box or a two disc lp style. My four disc version is made at Optima Germany. Worth it.

@@katethomas5712What happened between those two I wonder. It’s very sad for all involved

[@katethomas5712]

@@hansolo3504 Well Hooky left in I think, 2007(after he resolved his substance issues, saying he never really got on with Bernard anyway without 'help') and I don't think Bernard's ever forgiven him. Inevitably there was also money involved. Now it's finally been settled, Hooky's made it clear he wants back in, but Bernard's not interested. I don't think Hooky's book has helped, nor the constant touring playing JD material. They're both so stubborn, I think if anything happens to one of them, the other would be devastated. Despite what they say in public. Also Bernard's got Steve and Gillian backing him up, and Hooky's said a few unflattering things about Gillian. Bit of a mess really..

[@aidancampbell78]

Phil and Tom have fitted into the band very nicely.

[@hansolo3504]

That’s really sad and makes me cry. Wish they could get back together again. Maybe someday who knows. Best band

Even though pretty much everybody agrees that the original 'True Faith' B side version/'Substance' album version/'Best of New Order' album version are the superior mixes, this Arthur Baker mix as its standalone single is still quite pleasant and proves this song is a top 10 NO song imho

[@nickholt1963]

The moorland locations look like the hills around Rainow, Walker Barn and Lamaload Reservoir. I might be wrong but looks that way, and it's where Stephen & Gillian live so maybe makes sense.
