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!

[@SEANBANOG4]

[@PlanetX-qu3fy]

BUT... It must be the Extended Dance Mix of Bizarre Love Triangle which is MUCH MUCH MUCH better than the single : kzbin.info/www/bejne/hnWmlnqQaNNroLs

[@bashirijones7008]

You are not lying.👍🏼

[@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.

This song is about addiction. It touches very deeply.

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.

True Faith is maybe one of the most honest songs about drug or alcohol addiction. I’m an alcoholic and I can tell you I completely understand this song from beginning to end. I listen to it a lot. It’s a mantra. And it’s inspirational for me.

[@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

[@andrewpetik2034]

One of my favorite songs and videos from the 80's! Love New Order

[@carlospagoaga321]

thank you guys for bringing back New Order they were one of the best of the New Wave 80S invasion with so many remarkable iconic hits like Bizarre Love Triangle , Age Of Consent , Love Vigilantes , Dreams Never End amount many more

[@richardgoddard37]

The lead singer was in a supergroup with the Pet Shop Boys and Johnny Marr from the Smiths. They called themselves Electronic, and had a bunch of hits (and 3 great albums)

[@meganyounger4842]

In 1989 (9th grade) I saw New Order with the Sugarcubes (Bjork) and Public Image Limited. Super cool show.

[@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.

[@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.

[@cms3052]

New Order and The Smiths were the two top New Wave acts of the 80's. Bizarre Love Triangle by New Order, and How Soon is Now by The Smiths are a MUST listen.

[@michaelknight2118]

[@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.

[@ninawildr4207]

💯agreed!

[@bashirijones7008]

[@Shrykespeare]

And the Pet Shop Boys have a new song out called "Purple Zone" where they team up with Soft Cell ("Tainted Love"). It's awesome.

[@Derry_Aire]

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. Plus, how on earth you can use the words goth and alternative and claim the Pet Shop Boys is bizarre. They were an out and out pop band.

[@thomashorton5715]

Finally I love this song❤ And this video

[@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.

[@joesmith8725]

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

They was originally Joy division before they became New order. Ian Curtis was the lead singer of the original band Joy Division until he took his own life at the young age of 26

[@johntrickey4188]

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).

[@Rorschachqp]

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.

Listen to Shell Shock and Bizarre Love Triangle. Also give their predecessor band, Joy Division, a listen. A good place to start is their more commercial song, Love Will Tear Us Apart.

[@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".

[@georoach6383]

This song is almost a part of my life, and death. It tells a story I so closely mirror. It was also a song I listened to intensely at a time I was preparing to end my life, and somehow failed repeatedly, and the realisation was the morning sun. It is a song that triggers good memories and bad, the good being my decision to live and take responsibility for the behavior that hurt so many dear to me.

[@comicreviews]

More synth pop? Listen to more Pet Shop Boys and/or Erasure and/or OMD. Also, you've barely scratched the surface of Depeche Mode. PSB songs: It's a Sin, Always on My Mind (amazing Willie Nelson cover) Erasure songs: Love to Hate you, Chains of Love, Stop OMD songs: Electricity, Dreaming

[@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.

I remember this song being used in the movie, “Bright Lights, Big City” with Michael J. Fox and Kiefer Sutherland.

You’re are bringing me back to the happiest times of my life. Recordar es vivir. Amazing! I am smiling from my heart. Glad you like it.

I can highly recommend their double CD compilation "Substance 1987", which has 12" versions on the first CD and surprisingly good B-sides on the second CD. My favourite of all of them is "Shame of the Nation" on the second CD - I've played that a lot on auto-repeat.

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!
