TRIPPY!| FIRST TIME HEARING New Order - True Faith REACTION

[@jasonremy1627]

New Order was easily one of the most talented, original, and musically gifted electronic bands ever. So good. Check out "Bizarre Love Triangle" next. Another classic.

[@kathyastrom1315]

Bizarre Love Triangle always filled up the dance floor when I was in college and going to New Wave Night at the local nightclub in the mid-80s. This song, True Faith, had me moving around my living room just now, pulling out those old dance moves!

[@eddiec2711]

Don’t forget about the band Electronic he was in!

You are not lying.👍🏼

[@felixthecat02]

This song is special to me, not only being a huge New Order fan, but especially this song due it's lyrics. The line 'my morning sun is the drug that brings me near to the child I lost replaced by fear' really hits me hard...

[@Joachim2012]

I think it's "childhood", but I feel you so much...

[@marcshroetter6083]

@@Joachim2012 is feel a reference to a passage and train of thought that is brought up in a book by Joseph Chilton Pearce “The Crack In The Cosmic Egg” where he describes a moment at a certain age when you are a child and the world is alive and there is a presence and the knowing that something amazing and magical is about to happen but you don’t know what but you are destined for it.

Yes!!!! I was 15. Bought the album and played on my mom’s record player. Now I’m 52 and the meanings become clearer…thanks!

[@Shrykespeare]

YES!! Some more New Order at last! They are such a talented group, and one of the original UK bands to pioneer synth music. "Bizarre Love Triangle" is another one of their biggest hits, but I also highly recommend "Vanishing Point", "Regret", "World in Motion" (a sports-related song), and "Fine Time". They have so many facets that you have yet to explore, and the combination of Bernard Sumner's voice and Peter Hook's instantly-recognizable bass is one of the best in music.

[@jollyrodgers7272]

... The Perfect Kiss.

[@lowlybird9128]

Ceremony is by far my favorite New Order song. It was originally a Joy Division song but the band re-recorded it when they reformed as New Order. It’s worth a listen.

[@simply_psi]

Loed the early New Order so much the first 3 albums and early singles like Ceremony, Everything's Gone Green, Temptation, The Perfect Kiss, Confusion, Thieves Like Us and Sub Culture were all so good.

[@Eijianthony]

Ceremony forever....

[@savsmiles3042]

That’s their best song imo

[@danpiedra3910]

Ceremony is the perfect transition between Joy Division and New Order, but where New Order found it's identity was through the release of EEG, Temptation, and Blue Monday. I love that they experimented with hip hop and worked with Arthur Baker on several hits, including the original release of Confusion. Power, Corruption, and Lies demonstrated that New Order had found it's place in alternative rock. Low Life just took it to another level and they have never looked back.

[@charlenegirling8596]

Ceremony is my favourite too, then Temptation

[@ronindlb8158]

Bizarre Love Triangle is another great song by New Order

[@PlanetX-qu3fy]

Must be the Extended Dance Mix though : kzbin.info/www/bejne/hnWmlnqQaNNroLs

[@703elee]

The lyrics are about the singer realizing he is addicted to drugs and the sadness that brings upon him BUT the way Bernard Sumner wrote lyrics was.....interesting? offhand? thowaway? New order basically would focus on the composition of their songs and just MAKE lyrics fit in (so lots of time their lyrics actually are a little mumbo jumbo) as well as the fact that Sumner was never a drug user himself

[@jimdiggs6959]

Correct. And I remember years ago reading an interview where Sumner claimed to always finish lyrics the day he started them - which would explain why brilliant lines are often followed by equally silly or nonsensical wordplay.

[@mortimerbrewster3671]

They do take the lyrics a little too literal instead of as poetry. Sometimes, you have to accept you don't know the meaning of lyrics and FEEL the song.

[@Jmitchpen1013]

So very accurate 703elee. Sumner was more interested in how the lyrics fit the flow of the song and New Order's electronic beats. The meaning is there but it is secondary to the vibe.

[@Yumm...]

“Temptation” by New Order is such a great song! You’ll definitely love it and bop around to it!

[@deborahpaley21]

The Glasgow concert in '06 I think is an excellent version of Temptation. Best live version I've seen.

[@jonathanmaybury5698]

You have to remember that the '80s was the start of MTV and every band would put out a video to their new song that would stand out from the others, so gradually the videos got more and more bizarre than the last one.

[@grahamjones3259]

This band, or we should say these two bands, because the story is really of Joy Division/New Order, were a seminal point in the story of music. They will be referenced deep into history as a cultural moment of importance. The band that gave the world Goth music, went onto make culture smashing dance music. Their journey from a deep darkness to the light of dance music is extraordinary. Probably one of the top ten most influential bands of all time, but they never seem to get the credit they deserve. Sadly, they are at loggerheads these days, with three of them on one side and the bass player on the other. Anyone who loves their music just want them to make up and make more great music, because they are the sum of their parts. Take one of them out and it no longer sounds like New Order.

[@farrahlynne7121]

I find this song meaning to be finally finding happiness & freedom in your own uniqueness & to be free to be who you are and do your own thing "in a world so demanding", while the friends he grew up with and the ppl around him are stuck living in a cookie cutter day to day routine that society and even life in general sometimes makes you feel forced to live out. They haven't found the true faith in themselves and in what each new day can bring with each new morning sun. Basically, to me it's saying be who and what you wanna be and enjoy life at your own pace in your own style and that you don't have to be like everyone else or the world says you should be, do what you love and are passionate about & once you realize that and can find "true faith" then you can feel liberated and happy, and set apart from those who can't enjoy life bc they're caught in a daily routine or molded into what society says they have to do or become or even what ppl says you can't become, you can prove them wrong & be happy. The video to me is mostly art but contains a lot of artistic expression to the song with some meaning symbolisms like showing the college grad tied up in measuring tape, I assume bc now with a degree he's expected to be bound to the business life or a job with little time to enjoy his own life & maybe that's not what he would've chose for himself but it's whats expected of him, the man in the slapping fight is stuck in the same action over and over while continuously taking hits in the face, possibly expecting or hoping to win but takes no other approach to cause another outcome, but maybe it's like he doesn't know to do anything else to break the cycle. The colorful ppl I can see two ways, either they have found new faith in life and themselves and that's why they seem happy and also bright & colorful, or either they too are caught up but don't realize it or care and are more like naive "puppets", altho I kind of lean towards them being liberated to be themselves. This all is just my opinions however, but that's my interpretations of the song and video and how it inspires me, I could be so far from the writers and artists actual intentions tho but this is what I got from it.

[@no-oneinparticular7264]

New Order's Bizarre Love Triangle, Blue Monday, True Faith, and Age of Consent were all _very_ frequently played on the "alternative" radio stations back in the day, and that's just the tip of what New Order (and Joy Division before them) put out there.

The alternative 80s club scene wasn't also known as the "goth scene" at all. There may have been a 'goth night' in an alternative club once a week in the mid80s, but the alternative scene was extremely varied.

This is Gen-Xer alternative music from the '80s, '90s. We danced and partied to this kind of music. It's new wave, post-punk.... a mixture of dance, punk rock, synthesizers, guitars, etc. Think of it as watered down punk rock with pop, dance fusion, influences and good bass guitars, drum beats. Its a fusion. Groups like Duran Duran, Modern English, INXS, Joy Division, Devo, U2, The Cure, Depeche Mode, Talk Talk, No Doubt, B-52s, Siouxsee and the Banshees, U2, Love and Rockets, Talking Heads, The Cars, Blondie, Falco, A-Ha, Simple Minds, Thompson Twins, The Knack, Human League, Elastica, and many more! New wave. A lot of music back then had a melancholy feeling (happy, sad) . Fun sound, deeper meaning. Cold War era, uncertainty, etc. Lot of fear and trying to stay happy. Hard to explain lol

That's what the Americans called it in terms of radio format play, but that's not what this type of music is, especially with New Order. The music is a movement instead of a genre. It's the post-punk movement. Another way to describe it is where they came from, the Madchester scene. As for the music, it's Kraftwerk-inspired electronica.

New Order is, was, very unusual, they were very good conventional band, instruments, but their ability to go " electronic" was a huge left turn, considering they came from the post punk Joy Division, arguably the most influential 2 record band of that time( '79-'80). Their '80's catalogue is magnificent, check out, Power Corruption and Lies , and Technique.

[@oneironaut420]

New Order are true artists. They understand that music video is an art form of its own and needn't be so literal. The worst, laziest thing a music video can do is be a translation of the lyrics. To have a line like "She looked out the window" and have an actual shot of a woman looking out of a window. Music videos have mostly devolved into just a troupe of dancers dancing in unison behind a diva or a band playing along on their instruments. But music videos can be short art films that capture the FEEL of the music in total rather than just be a depiction of the lyrics.

[@christianman73]

New Order changed the face of pop music in serious ways in the '80s, by making innovative electronic dance music, coupled with lyrics that could sometimes be quite deep, and yes, sometimes, dark, though not nearly as dark as Joy Division. New Order *directly arose* out of the demise of the equally important British band, Joy Division, whose brilliant but tormented leader, the vocalist and lyricist, Ian Curtis, tragically hung himself, *just the night before* the band was supposed to leave for their first U.S. tour. Ian was an amazing artist and such a strong stage presence, but his personal struggles (which are a long story, but he was not any kind of heavy drug user, to my knowledge-- his struggles were very different, and there were many, but *not* that particular one) led to his tragic passing, at the very time that Joy Division was becoming recognized internationally as an incredible new band. Their two studio albums, "Unknown Pleasures" and "Closer," are two of the most powerful, unforgettable, albums in rock music's entire history. They should be heard in full, as full album experiences. They are *not* to entered into lightly, because they are deep, dark, and sometimes, disturbing, works of art, but so powerful and profound. New Order is just as brilliant as Joy Division, and often, equally profound too, but in very different, lighter ways. I love both bands so much!

[@davidhuber2076]

36 years later and this song is still solid. I am a relic listening to relic music. Thank You.

[@apulrang]

The darkness you hear in the otherwise upbeat synth music probably comes from New Order’s roots in Joy Division. I haven’t looked to see if you’ve reacted to Joy Division, which was a VERY dark and moody band. If you haven’t heard Joy Division, you should. That band was more guitar oriented, but still had synths and that same minimalist, almost mechanical beat. The two bands have a fascinating history.

[@erichstahl3652]

True Faith and Bizarre Love Triangle both definitely have a much more accessible song structure than Blue Monday does. Blue Monday was really a dance house hit more than a radio hit.

[@technomikelyons]

"Bizarre Love Triangle" is one of their classics, and the !2" Shep Pettibone remix is iconic (with the only criticism being it strips out the bass guitar by Peter Hook). Another interesting one is "Round & Round". One thing to note about New Order's songs is that in many cases the song title is not mentioned in the lyrics. If you like Bernard Sumner's vocals in New Order you might enjoy another project he was in called Electronic, which also featured Neil Tennant of the Pet Shop Boys and The Smiths' guitarist Johnny Marr, the song "Getting Away With It".

[@lynnhettrick7588]

Well...if you guys are doing New Order....might as well do Joy Division...after all...that's the Band where it all started with for the New Order members...

They did react to "Love Will Tear Us Apart" back in April, but that's been it.

@@Shrykespeare I noticed....such a shame....since the 2 albums are absolutely worthy of a full album review!!!!

I don't think they are quite ready for it without backstory and knowledge of the massive impact the two bands have on so much of the music they like and have come to like. I don't want any video to distract the absorption as they sometimes do with people reacting. It's hit or miss with videos and not just sound. But she likes the videos and tends to see deeper things than Rob. Not a diss, just an observation.

THE BEST SONG THAT WOULD DEFINE NEW ORDER WOULD BE "BIZARRE LOVE TRIANGLE" THATS ONE OF THE DANCE ANTHEMS HIGHLY PLAYED IN THE CLUBS EVERYWHERE.....EVEN ON THE RADIO

It's about the angst / alienation of growing up. A young person likes to party, thinks it is lame to go to bed early, wake up early, but as singer matured, got over drug-fueled partying, he found more and more he appreciates being up at dawn, embracing healthier lifestyle. Also, I believe they had bandmate commit suicide and referenced that in many lyrics, here there's line about "left me in a world that's so demanding" which may be reference to that person. Best New Order song & video IMO. Since you did Blue Monday, that leaves Bizarre Love Triangle as the last of their "big 3" hits, though they had a lot more than 3 great songs. Best 80s alternative song by far: Dramarama's Anything Anything. More alt rock than alt-pop. For more alternative pop more like New Order, I suggest Alphaville's Big in Japan (and Forever Young by Alphaville). I assume you've done Depeche Mode, or they'd be the first suggestion for a "like New Order" band. Oh, with October around the corner, the BEST 80s alternative music for Halloween time: any OINGO BOINGO songs (Just Another Day, Stay, Private Life, On the Outside, Not My Slave, Cinderella Undercover, Gratitude, Dead Man's Party, Pain, Nothing to Fear, Weird Science and many more). You should do one Oingo Boingo song a week in honor of Halloween. The Oingo Boingo Halloween concert used to be the best thing happening for Halloween in Los Angeles for many years. The lead singer of Oingo Boingo became a super-prolific movie composer, doing a ton of spooky movie scores including pretty much all Tim Burton movies, most Batman movies, many other superhero movies, and was the lead role in Nightmare Before Christmas (Tim Burton animated movie), which is a movie you should react to for Halloween.

New Order is a major pillar of 80's alternative, synth-pop history. Lead singer, Bernard Sumner, had another spin-off group called Electronic with Johnny Marr, Lead guitarist of the Smiths. I'd highly recommend some of their tunes such as "Get the Message", and "Getting Away with it", a collaboration with the Pet Shop Boys.

[@chip8204]

My all time favorite band! Now play “Gentlemen” by Afghan Whigs.

[@charlesallen2306]

I'm sooo happy you did this song. Classic 80's. I completely forgot about this video lol. Need to add Depeche Mode and Pet Shop Boys to the list for future videos.

[@StMichael7]

In America New Order was classified as New Wave music

[@rasmuswi]

You HAVE to do Donna Summer - I feel love! The 12 " version. Almost an 80s synthpop song, but released in 1975. Way ahead of its time.

[@georgedominguez255]

Yes most synth bands were influenced by Giorgio Moroder!
