Lonesome Tonight....

beautiful melody.... great but simple lyrics

Never understand why this didn't ever pick up on most fans.

Sooner Than You Think--the guitar is so sad I almost cry As it is when it was--great bass, Best lyrics ICB--my fave off Movement Lonesome Tonight--big ass ending, killer lyrics

You really enjoyed the Retro "fan" disc concept, haven't you, Shugzy? :wink:

Here's some that got away:

I've always loved the single version of Round & Round, it's one of God's own tunes and should have gone to No. 1 for a year. Criminally underrated. The 7" of BLT is a cracking version and I also really like 'Way Of Life' off Brotherhood.

Nobody's mentioned Hurt here. That 1-2-3-4 is definitely a VBG for me every time I hear it, and I just love the way it builds up before Barney comes in and ruins everything with his hollerin'.

Originally posted by Benny's Cobweb Eyes Some of the all-time classic New Order songs are ones that have never been hyped up :Let's Go - the instrumental is just superb, classic NO. Procession - a real gem that contains all the right bits. This Time of Night - ditto. Lonesome Tonight - so simple but so effective. Doubts Even Here - the only "JD" song NO wrote, beautiful. Ultraviolence - wonderful free-flow live track that had to be seen to be believed. Such a Good Thing - again classic NO. Player in the League - it's not a joke and it's not even funny that this was relegated to a B-side. Sabotage - simply beautiful.

I like your style, Benny. I'll add:

World - which has had some fabulous remixes Sooner Than You Think - so much more powerful in the '84 Saturday Session than on Low-Life Your Silent Face - simply majestic Lonesome Tonight - ditto

The remixes can all get stuffed, but I really like the Republic take on Spooky. And the original vocal version of Let's Go is brilliant, would have fit brilliantly on Low Life.

The original vocal version of Let's Go sounded horrible - they left it off Low Life because they couldn't get it right. They subsequently cleaned it up and made it more acceptable, but the version they had at the time of recording the album was nowhere near ready. The song was always going to be an instrumental, but they suddenly added lyrics at a late stage for the record then changed their mind again and ended up between a rock and a hard place.
