Home | Theme Song: "1963"

May 13, 2009

1987 was the year that New Order released their massively successful Substance compilation album, which brought together all of their classic tracks to date in their most popular versions -- and some alternates -- including, "Blue Monday" and "Bizarre Love Triangle."

Substance also spawned a popular new single, "True Faith," but it was the B-side of that record that contained my favorite song from that era of New Order releases: "1963."

Listen to the lyrics ...

Can still make me cry a little bit.

One weird thing about the Substance album is that the most complete version was only ever released on cassette. Because of length limitations, the CD and album versions omit around 45 seconds of "The Perfect Kiss" and leave out some tracks, like "Shame of the Nation," entirely.
