Not to piss on anyone's Cornflakes but... Let me just say that I, as well love this bass line even though it is not truly a bass being played. My loves, it is more likely a keyboard programed with lovely big fat, sweaty bass tones that make you move your ass, and makes your mouth water. Sorry, spoiler alert!
I'm 28 years old I once hear this at a rave in my hometown in Ontario about 6/7 YEARS ago and it was the same thing just like what you said It was the original they played... the people went crazy.. everybody was up dancing.. It was good people good booze, good drugs, and good weed. MIss thoes kinds of partys.. now I'm actually starting to give a fuck.
Ok you gotta admit the dissonance of the “how does it feel” in the downwards chords with a few flats is just PERFECT. Like omg I could sing that one like all day, whoever wrote that is a genius for catchy and beautiful lines
I went through 5 cassette tapes back to back from the time this album came out to about 1990-1991. I played the shit outta them till they just wore out. That was a very good time in my life
Alicia Mauri Yes!! but that's what I mean. When I say they're a handful of songs. For me anyways that get you up on the dance floor!! This is one of them!! My two left feet, Be Dammed!!!! lol
you are NEVER too young to enjoy good tunes!!! If it's too loud... you're too old!! glad to see some young people enjoying sounds from a different era instead of dismissing it, bravo, sir!!
I almost embarrassed myself when this song popped up in the pub I was having a meeting with ppl from work. I was THAT close from jumping. The undeniable power of New Order.
New Order! Very appropriate song for 2019-2020. Blue Monday! I so loved dancing to this one when it was played! Felt the beat, feet started tapping and ZOOM out on the dance floor I went! Oh the music after 2000 went totally insane! By the way the dance floor was mostly my kitchen floor, except when I ventured out to the socials when I was lucky enough to be able to go. Thank you to my children, for being so into music! I guess I taught them something, right. As I was taught by my father, who loved music so much! Listen to the beat, but more important read the lyrics, they tell a story! A GREAT STORY! Thanks for keeping it alive!
Reminds me of college in San Marcos SWT Southwest Texas State University. We would drive to Austin and party on 6th Street at all the clubs dancing to this song and so many more great 80s club songs. Great memories !
How does it feel When you treat me like you do And you've laid your hands upon me And told me who you are? I thought I was mistaken And I thought I heard your words Tell me, how do I feel? Tell me now, how do I feel? Those who came before me Lived through their vocations From the past until completion They will turn away no more And I still find it so hard To say what I need to say But I'm quite sure that you'll tell me Just how I should feel today I see a ship in the harbor I can and shall obey But if it wasn't for your misfortunes I'd be a heavenly person today And I thought I was mistaken And I thought I heard you speak Tell me how do I feel? Tell me now, how should I feel? Now I stand here waiting I thought I told you to leave me While I walked down to the beach Tell me, how does it feel When your heart grows cold? How does it feel? How does it feel? How does it feel? And I thought I told you to leave me While I walked down to the beach Tell me, how does it feel When your heart grows cold?

Amy Robinson I’m 49 too. Just bought a pair of Bose Noise cancelling headphone. Couldn’t wait to listen to Blue Monday! Reminded me of college parties!
You guys are lucky to have lived through an amazing era of music. Nowadays you hear garbage on the radio and on TV... They don't make music like this anymore! Respect.
I was a child. I am listening to the songs of my childhood where my dreams lay and I am unlocking myself from my prison. I hope..makes sense you listen to it my friend.
I wish I was alive when this was playing at clubs. This song would have me dancing with any stranger I saw. This song is hypnotic and just moves you with the music. My dad had the coolest music to jam to!
I was living in Austin when this hit the airwaves and I'm so thankful!!!! GREAT late night memories of being at the clubs and on the streets with this song cranked up!! You're very right, it has a powerful hypnotic rhythmn to it that makes you just want to move!!
Silver Amaryllis I was 12 or 13 I went to 'Winners' a sound that thrown like block parties!! We were all so young! And we just danced!! The best time of my life!!
How does it feel To treat me like you do When you've laid laid your hands upon me And told me who you are I thought I was mistaken I thought I heard your words Tell me how do I feel Tell me now how do I feel Those who came before me Lived through their vocations From the past until completion They will turn away no more And I still find it so hard To say what I need to say But I'm quite sure that you'll tell me Just how I should feel today I see a ship in the harbor I can and shall obey But if it wasn't for your misfortunes I'd be a heavenly person today And I thought I was mistaken And I thought I heard you speak Tell me how do I feel Tell me now how should I feel Now I stand here waiting I thought I told you to leave me While I walked down to the beach Tell me how does it feel When your heart grows cold (grows cold, grows cold, grows cold)
This Hit is the time machine that always take's me back Dance Rolling in Roller-skate's all around the floor in a Roller Skating rink in the 80's !!! ahhhhh the good old times ! :0)
Ah, the good old 80s. Domitian became Emperor, Trajan wins his first major battle. The Eunuchs take control of the Han. The Gospels are mostly complete and published. The steam engine is first conceived. All around, not a bad decade. Except for all the people who lived during it. That mostly sucked for pretty much all of them.
I would always hummed this tune. I never understood where I got it from and assumed it's just something my mind created it. Accidently came across this and a wave of nostalgia hit me. I have never watched this but I knew that this was it. This was the tune I've been humming for 10 years now. The feeling of something falling in the pit of my stomach as a reminder of a forgotten memory, I must've heard it on a radio or somewhere else. Now that I'd found this, I'll go re-watch it, once in awhile
Bernie does indicate in several interviews that this song is about the aftermath of Ian Curtis's death. Ian committed suicide on Sunday 05/18/1980...so its regarding the day after.
When I saw them in '89 the crowd went insane when they seemed to be leaving w/out playing Blue Monday! They probably staged it, but the limo kept inching further away, & then stopping, then starting again. Total tease! But if they hadn't played it, we would have rioted. ♫
Macht den Kopf leer und frei........bewegt die Beine und Füsse......die Hüfte will mit.....Arme kreisen........gefangen im Beat und der Rhythmus führt dich......du fällst und fällst und fällst und alles was dich aufhalten kann ist Tanzen.......also Tanz als gäbe es kein Morgen!!!!! geile Zeitmaschine!!!!!
I'm here because in high school during the 80's I took LSD and listened to the whole album this song is on(substance) and lost my mind temporarily and lived. Now I belly dance to this song
He has a point. There aren't many up there with this in the 80s, along with Soft Cell's Tainted Love and The Smith's What Difference Does It Make? And I've mixed this into techno sets, and people fucking go mental. Best mix I ever did was Beltrams' Energy Flash in Donna Summer's I Feel Love: immense.
How does it feel To treat me like you do? When you've laid your hands upon me And told me who you are? Thought I was mistaken I thought I heard your words Tell me, how do I feel? Tell me now, how do I feel? Those who came before me Lived through their vocations From the past until completion They'll turn away no more And I still find it so hard To say what I need to say But I'm quite sure that you'll tell me Just how I should feel today I see a ship in the harbor I can and shall obey But if it wasn't for your misfortune I'd be a heavenly person today And I thought I was mistaken And I thought I heard you speak Tell me, how do I feel? Tell me now, how should I feel? Now I stand here waiting I thought I told you to leave me While I walked down to the beach Tell me, how does it feel When your heart grows cold?
Watching this here in the middle of the covid 19 pandemic. People panicking, economies collapsing, wishing I was back in '84 when life seemed so perfect! ...oh to be 11 again...sigh...where are those tissues?
COVID aint shit compared to the threat of nuclear war. This generation is soft as shit. It has given up its rights, freedom and economy to the CCP because of a 'virus'
