NEW ORDER - AS REAL AS IT GETS

"Remember the 80s. The soft notion that you would stay in the dorms until you were 55 or preferably 65 because you were afraid to death of the outside world."
Anonymous, 2003


Adulthood only scared me when you talked about it in pedestrian terms, SUV's, mortgages, and parent teacher parties,.. oops, i mean.. prisons. This video and this song however realy pushed the boundaries of what I thought could be possible. Everlasting bliss. Minus taxes of course.

Its a fantasy but a nice one, no matter how brief.. it is interesting for sure.
IT is one of my favorite New Order tracks. In some ways it defines what I think of the band. THe later releases weren't strong enough to make me want to stay there for too long. There were too many other competing sounds that were distracting my attention.
