I have always been passionate (as most of you are) about music. While I am no longer connected with the music industry directly, the lyrics and melodies stay with me. I can say for certain that every New Order song lives on - from later Joy Division to "Get Ready" - each record is like a chapter in my life book.

I must say that the songs - notably the lyrics - have been a part of my life since I was a teenager. For every song, there is that moment I remember exactly what I was doing, who I was (or was not) dating, where I worked, and so on. I think that any musical group - no matter how popular or underground they are - are glad when they make that connection... And New Order has made many with me. Thanks!
