New Order - 'Blue Monday' the song that changed music forever 

Blue Monday will ALWAYS sound like the future of music, no matter what decade it's played.

Everyone at the club would flock to the dance floor when this song came on... no matter what club, what type of music they played...when Blue Monday came on... goth/punk/whatever..we all danced.

This is a prime example of how great the music was in the 1980's, the time when New Wave music came out and all of them are great.

Yes Gillian, it absolutely still sound's fresh when you play it, and it always will!

I was in England when it came out. Heard it in a nightclub and was absolutely stunned. As a 'faithful' follower of JD and all of NO's records up until then, it seemed like a monumental leap into a future no-one knew the band had in them. Immediately went out and bought the 12". Still have it to this day. :-)

New Order, if you guys are reading this- you changed the world! One of the best songs of ALL TIME, it's been with me through good times, bad times, and helped me push myself in extremely challenging circumstances

No matter how young or old you are. How old school or new school people are. You just know that ‘Blue Monday’ is good and never gets old.

Blue Monday is a classic iconic song that will always play. It will forever be identified to the 80s. I saw New Order three times in the Summer of 2019. They are fantastic, live.

Had the opportunity meet Gillian and Stephen and they were brilliant. Lovely couple, told her how much of an inspiration she was to me, she got so flattered.

blue Monday is one of the best songs ever period.

New Order is the soundtrack of my life. Love these guys and what they did for music back then and for the future.

Joy Division was the clay that formed the statue known as New Order and Blue Monday was the track that did it. It has stood the test of time like no other dance track in the history of music and it stands atop a mountain of music that has made New Order the greatest pop group performing today.

Was in Manchester some years ago, checking the night life. This song was played in every damn club we went to. After all these years. Good job, I'd say!

Blue monday in Wonder Woman 1984 Blue Monday in Ready Player One Blue Monday in Atomic Blonde Blue Monday in Black Ops: Cold War Blue Monday in Deutschland 83 Blue Monday in GTA VC Stories This song is definitely the world of Music

New Order and Erasure blew my mind and changed my life back in the day.

I like Temptation, Perfect Kiss, Bizarre Love Triangle, True Faith, Thieves like us, regret, blue Monday, 1963 touched by the hand of God, err i think i really love them all.. After all these years, i still do.

*Technique* will always be peak New Order for me. I just love that record from start to finish.

My wife isn’t much for clubs and noise and dancing, but New Order compilations, especially this song are her fave horizontal tango soundtrack, therefore mine too.

I remember hearing it on the radio, the same day went to the record shop to buy it. They said who. I told them it was going to be massive and could they order it in for me. Had to wait a week lol

Love seeing Gillian on the best studio of them all with all her modular gear behind...

I listen to this song constantly. Usually while mountain biking on rough trails and the volume spiked. But, then again I was listening to it the same way back in the 80's.

When Blue Monday came on I went over to my mate who was the DJ in a club in Melbourne Australia called The Underground and said what is this track it's out of this world. The sound was mind blowing and nearly 40 years later it still sounds incredible. Thank you New Order love you guys so much !

I was 16 in 1983 and my brother in law made me a mix tape with Blue Monday on it abd when i heard it i was thinking WTF! Listening to that track over and over that day i thought my life couldn't get any better👊 And it hasn't really🤣

This song change the direction of music I would listen to. I was a drum and guitars type of music and didn't think electronic music was any good. This opened my eyes.

I Feel Love by Donna Summer in 1977 was ground zero for what Blue Monday later became.

Blue Monday is forever and universal! If you never have listened to this song you are not from this Planet! God bless all New Order members! 🇬🇧❤️🇧🇷

Blue Monday: The national anthem of night clubs. Everyone... got up... off to the dance floor.

Unlike most in the comments, the first time I heard this song was playing GTA Vice City Stories. Since then I always loved the track, the multiple beats, Lyrics and the tone of voice makes you keep the track on constant replay.

Blue Monday was playing when my Daughter Gemma was born 9 years ago

The song that changed ELECTRONIC DANCE music.

I was in Spain that summer and every club, every bar, every night belting out Blue Monday. Sitting on the balcony late at night Blue Monday wafted out into the warm night air, fantastic.

Blue Monday was the best song of the 80's ! " I still find it so hard , to say what I mean to say " 🎶

Hi there, I´m Thorsten from Germany, that time "blue monday" came over to Germany, the " new German wave" huge and nearly no english song was in our Charts. Your Song broke that eara in a way that never happened before I would say. I wanna say thanks for these super sounding moments in school paries, discotheques and still listening on my Phone. Thanks to you all and thanks for all yout great songs.

Blue Monday was so good and so different when it came out. Me and my mates kept hearing it on the radio but didn't catch what it was called, it was like a mission to find out it's name and which band it was so we could go buy it. It was so special at the time.

That shit was HOT. You had to be on the dance floor EVERYTIME the DJs banged it.🔥🔥🔥🎶🎶🕺🏿

At a synth convention, a guy had a Linn Drum, doing the dum dum dubba dubba dubba dubba... I jumped on a synth, and played the bassline. Great memory.

Blue Monday = Best song ever!!!

In my opinion Blue Monday was the real 80s hit and still is a big song

Nice that they finally got Gillian to talk.

Glad to see Peter Hook in this! I wish him and Bernie would just bury the darn hatchet already..

Neil Tennant cried when he heard 'Blue Monday'

This song definitely got me into the band! I was a Freshman in HS. The best memories surround this song. A friend and I were fortunate to meet Bernard on the set of Baywatch for Top of the Pops for the release of Regret! Still one of my favourite N.O. songs! He was super cool to us and talked to us for awhile. He asked us if we liked,” New Order?” We replied Yes, but said we were fans of, “The Cure!!”😂not to let on that we also were fans of New Order! Quite strangely, recently I’ve been listening to the album Technigue. An aIbum I never gave a chance too, but seriously digging and enjoying daily. New Order definitely stands the test of time. My daughter who is a Jr in HS loves the band as well. We both agree to listen to them in the car and they are on our mother/daughter play list! Such a great band and the best driving music!

I bought the 12” single version of Blue Monday. It is an iconic piece of music.

It changed the way I feel about music from the the very first hearing. It is a bit of a singularity. It is pure joy to hear these interviews from the band.

What can I say? The state of the art, a unique and rare piece in the whole 80's panorama. I love this piece but even more I love everything that comes out of these guys, you are my personal soundtrack ... I run to listen to me Academic extended mix !!!

Anyone else just want to take them out for a beer? So cool and lovable.

All NO' songs I like, specially The Perfect Kiss, Blue Monday, Bizarre Love Triangle, Paradise and more but I love someone like you 👌 Great job my forever favourite band 🙏😃

Berlin nightclub or Australian outback travelling, it fits everywhere.

New order was the best of the best.❤

Fond memories dancing to Blue Monday at the Palladium in San Francisco in the 80’s. I’ve never seen NO live, but definitely on my bucket list!

I remember hearing this back in the day and thinking: this is the future of music. Now it's in the past.

Then, it was music of the future...one of the best 80's songs....... Thanks NEW ORDER..

Blue Monday, The Beach and Confusion... amazing!

One of the greatest bands ever & the reason I make music today.

Some music does not need promotions. It just works so well to become top by itself.

It’s on my playlist and I can listen to it everyday to get anything done I need to do.

What a brilliant song. Not a connoisseur by a mile, but the song came to me in the layers that the writer was describing as gears. Hence me looking it up. So good. Thanx

Always New Order will lead us for 80' Magic. We were enjoy every friday night in Dark amaizing club in Tel Aviv. To listen New order was a real cermony. Miss the 80.. to sad. Moti From Israel Shabat Shalom

Me: playing the "octa" bassline from "Blue Monday" on my Microkorg. My friends: dancing all over my room :D

Blue Monday is great, but The Perfect Kiss my fav

ESSA BANDA VAI FICAR NA HISTÓRIA GRANDES SUCESSOS DOS ANOS 80 E 90 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

"People bought it, without any promotion, without any radio air play". Club DJ's mate. DJ's bought it. A hint of what was to come when rave tunes starting topping the charts in the same way in the late 80s, early 90s.

My pirate station was called radio blue monday. Started every broadcast with this song.

New Order always did a brilliant job with their songs!

My daughter, a couple of friends and i, we play this song, the '88 original version. It took some time to extract every element in the song and be able to play in the correct way and with the correct sounds for every element. And yes, it still sound as if written yesterday or last year. This song was the #1 in my spotify recap for year 2.023.

Man, they all look like grandparents now. I feel old. Where has the time gone??

This song will never die. Ever. Thanks for the memories...then now and in the future

It had power in its beat and the Gregorian chants were a master-stroke.

I used to leave the arm off the record player and have "The Beach" on repeat until my dad would get sick enough of it to pull the fuse under the stairs. :D

No matter where you are, when this song starts, you need to get up and dance!

This is one of greatest world songs,👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Thankyou for Blue Monday and many others.

I actually was the DJ playing the record the first time I heard Blue Monday in a club. A friend had got hold of a white label and I was a New Order fan, so I just put it on pretty much blind. I heard the rapid fire kick drum in my cueing headphones and thought I had it on at the wrong speed as the previous single, 'Temptation' played at 33. That was in March 1983 and god knows how many times I've heard it since. But it didn't exist in isolation. If you'd been listening to the more electronic end of disco, the clues were there - particularly in Patrick Cowley's productions.

The humbleness is awesome

I’m just stoked to see Gillian’s modular setup! Furthrrrr Generator spotted!

I love these people.. They 're so beautiful!

Till this day, people will RUN to the dance floor when this song comes on in the clubs!!! It's one of those timeless songs that'll NEVER die!!!!!

Was 1985 ,13 years old .. radio i heard, .blue monday ..boom ,i jump ..of joy .. remenber i miss you n order. .from ..brasil South América thanks neworder 2020🎈🇧🇷😷👏👏

When I first heard this song I was 22 at the time I went nuts I got the single the 12 inch single and the album it brought the 80s alive for me

The quintessential kings of electronic.no one will or can replace New Order

"You used to hear it everywhere." I remember hearing it when checking out Ponte Vecchio in Florence, back in May 1984, I think. It was such a weird and wonderful cultural juxtaposition.

Blue Monday just has the ~it~ that makes it rise above other electronica songs

In past 30 years, every DJ on planet had/have Blue Monday track. In 100 years this would be thought in schools as "classical music"

This record together with radio activity ,which I heard when it came out ( I lived in Koln in 75,76) , shaped the electronic area. And both songs are linked of course...

What a fantastic tune.........in the 80s as soon as this tune came on ,everybody was on the dance floor...great times..

still my favorite song ever 💙🗓️

Absolutely love New Order. Their Power, Corruption and Lies album is brilliant. I also managed to solve the colours inside their albums and translated them into text.

It got air play...on college radio...that's where I heard it and everyone else heard it but I was the one who found that giant floppy disc and still own it to this day...that and Power, Corruption and Lies changed everything. They opened the door to so many bands and inspired just as many more. The 80's were a truly terrible time but the music was a big part of what helped us get through it.

New Order was a top 3 80s band for me.

New Order my favorite band of all time

“Blue Monday” STILL sounds like the future.

One of my all time favorite songs❤️❤️❤️❤️

Blue Monday a song to change history

I just wanted to let you know how much of a positive effect you made on a formerly shy teenager like in the 1980s all the way across the Pond in Baltimore, Maryland. At an early age I was drawn to the music of The Doors, David Bowie, Poly Styrene of The X Ray Spex and eventually Joy Division and New Order. Thank you for the music and that’s all I have to say.

Hi from Honduras,jaja era un adolescente teenager esto y Depeche modelos cambio la forma de ver la vida

How does it feel?

I still have my 1983 12" pressing of Blue Monday in the original sleeve... much loved, much cared for... And I quite like The Beach too...

I love Gillian!!!! Such a beautiful woman!

My life, when I had 12yo, has a division; before and after New Order, Substence 1987 !
