Lyrics:
Some days you waste your life away
These times I find no words to say
A crime I once committed filled me
Too much of heaven's eyes I saw through
Only when meanings have no reason
They're taken beyond your sense of right (and wrong)
Small boy kneels, wandering in a great hall
He pays pennance to the air above him
White circles, black lines surround me
Reborn, so plain my eyes see
This is the reason that I came here
To be so near to such a person
I'm so tired, I'm so tired

One Word: Brilliant

[@stateshirt]

Thanks for the kind words! :)

[@teddyballgame406]

nice one!

[@onenarrowdoor]

Just saw the link to this on neworderonline and have to say that I generally dislike covers of New Order because it feels as if adding or taking away anything (or just plain copying) soils the greatest band of all time. This, however, is absolutely sublime - you have managed to keep the spirit of the track whilst making it acceptably fresh and interesting. Brilliant work!

[@stateshirt]

+onenarrowdoor Thanks so much for the kind words! Glad you enjoy it :)

[@DarkPlace1980]

Came across this by accident. I love New Orders early stuff & this is absolutely superb! Brilliant work guys!

[@jumofi]

Like Movement so much. Great cover!!!

[@RIANDOA]

Movement is pretty much my favourite album ever. I actually bought your CD because of this without even listening to the other tracks. Now that I have it though, impressed with your sound. :) But this is one of the best New Order covers I've ever heard.

[@stateshirt]

Thanks so much, that means a lot!! :) :)

[@almeidavini89]

That was awesome. One of my favorites from Movement and this version is a prime. The videoclip is even better... That's really a good animation for this type of song. Not a picture of a dark elf or middle age creature or such type of thing.

[@floriangeyer1886]

Jesus, they turned a gem into gold.

[@aaronensminger3186]

The hymn

[@Thirdfish]

This is epic.

[@stateshirt]

:) :) :)

[@natetimmer6589]

Great song and Great video

[@stateshirt]

Thank you so much :)

[@stefanograsselli7050]

Wow bellissimo video bellissima cover my favourite song

[@ZambeziKid]

gREAT COVER .. AND EXCELLENT VIDEO TOO. Many ppl get carried away by NO/JD, and make them too spiritual, but the reality is they were VERY down to Earth

[@thethinredline4714]

well done

[@frederickpfeiffer9276]

Wow, an amazing cover!

[@stateshirt]

+Frederick Pfeiffer Thank you :) :)

[@heelbradley7407]

Very nice.

[@kritter65]

Holy shit ! Incredible. Would be great if you could do their entire "Movement" album.

[@stateshirt]

+kritter65 Thanks so much! Glad you like it! I just might have to cover a couple other of their songs :)

[@AdjustableSquelch]

Procession! (great cover btw)

[@markusblomgren9922]

This is a good cover from the New Order album Movement from 1981. Great video here as well. It would be a nice view of the song Chosen time from this artist.

[@clintdavies491]

the him is my fave new order song ( one of my fave songs of all time actually) even beating some jd stuff, I have to say this is fucking awesome. fair play state shirt. top cover.

[@stateshirt]

Thanks so much for the kind words. Really appreciate it. :) :) :)

[@BaldricksTurnip1]

Totally agree with your whole comment 👍

[@SIRRUBADUBDUB]

Yes, probably my fave song of all time too - this cover gets the spirit - even beats out JD Decades, which I don't say lightly

[@KrazyKatPosse]

Surprisingly good cover. well done, guys

[@stateshirt]

Thx! :) :) :)

[@chorion]

i'm so glad i clicked on this video. :D

Great lyrics!

[@SIRRUBADUBDUB]

The "So Tired" here, its just beautiful

[@RIANDOA]

Fucking love this!!!

[@RIANDOA]

Just bought the CD. :D

[@stateshirt]

Thanks so much! :) :)

Wonderful video, the style reminds me of early Disney/NASA animated shorts, depicting space travel in the future. The cover is truly gorgeous too!

[@aaronensminger3186]

This is a song about a tired soul that’s done bad but seeks relief by going to a holy place to seek relief and innocents.

[@ChuckSilva]

Great! I wonder how you got that big fat clean guitar tone? Really enjoyed this

[@stateshirt]

+Chuck Silva Thanks man! I used a Damage Control tube preamp direct along with a TimeLine. :)

[@hleehall]

50 sec in and I love this one

[@eyoung1683]

Pretty smokin' cover!!! N.O. always had deep lyrics - back in the day, I thought it was ''Small boy kneels humbled in a great hall...'' There was no google.

[@aaronensminger3186]

It is humbled

[@thedelacruz]

😮

[@MD-tc2eo]

Can anyone enlighten me? Is this an original video for this music? Who made this hauntingly touching video? I demand answers, in the name of aesthetics. 🤩

[@NatJuno]

Whered you find the footage?

[@stateshirt]

Found it on archive.org.

[@NatJuno]

@@stateshirt thank you

[@greymouser8659]

'failed me'?

[@BaldricksTurnip1]

Most cover's are utter crap,this is sublime,both the music and the video, pretty sure Ian Curtis would have loved it 👍
