First heard on the movie Walking Tall and loved this version of it. Great for when are with your s/o and making out with her or him" whatever floats your boat" Great song
New Order are one of the pioneers of music - without them music would not be as it is today & the club scene worldwide would not exist. What New Order and Factory Records did is unacheivable in these modern times, both musically & as part of a movement. Blue Monday is still THE biggest selling 12'' of all time - and New Order made nothing from it, Factory Records actually made a loss on every copy sold so given the stats the label virtually went under off the back of this magnificent relase,
Factory only lost money on the first few ten thousand-odd copies sold. They very quickly changed the design to a less expensive one to produce (removing the silver inner sleeve and changing the die-cut floppy design to a printed design instead.) It's true that New Order made no money from it though - in fact they didn't really make any money from single/album sales as it all went to keeping the Hacienda afloat.
From the Philippines! I heard this on Nancy Drew movie several years ago and now I found this at last! WHEW! I love it, Id love listening to this when Im in a pensive moment. Such a soulful song
Heard this in the movie Walking Tall starring The Rock. Been in love with this song ever since. Finally found who sang that version. What a wonderful job! Better then the original!!!
This could be a really nice cover if it wasn't for that absolutely godawful guitar scratching. I cannot understand why people do this on a melodic track like this where it stands out like a sore thumb. The album is called For Sleepyheads Only - this makes the song entirely unrelaxing. It maybe suits metal or heavy rock but not this, at all.
this is such a good cover and thats a rare thing, i love the original as its got a hevey synth beat, but this version is sooo pleasent , love it Des Wigfall :)
Interesting thing for me is that I heard New Orders first and then me and my mate watched Walking Tall and I found this version. For me I found it stunning. Prefer this to the original despite knowing and listening to the original for years before this one.
Glen Chun I couldn't agree more. This is the rare song where the cover truly outshines the original and I've been listening to the original since it came out ages ago, I think maybe in 1983 or 84 when New order wrote/performed/ recorded it. Depeche Mod e did a great cover of it and so have many others,
@@Harikarikillboy-fs5vl This is a nice version but let's not get carried away. The original is, by a mile, the best version and it always will be. The fact that acoustic, metal and dance musicians have covered it speaks volumes for the quality of the brilliant New Order track and its wide appeal
