I feel so extraordinary
Something's got a hold on me
I get this feeling I'm in motion
A sudden sense of liberty
I don't care 'cause I'm not there
And I don't care if I'm here tomorrow
Again and again I've taken too much
Of the things that cost you too much

CHORUS
I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see delight in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost, replaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on the morning sun

When I was a very small boy
Very small boys talked to me
Now that we've grown up together
They're afraid of what they see
That's the price that we all pay
Our valued destiny comes to nothing
I can't tell you where we're going
I guess there's just no way of knowing

CHORUS

I feel so extraordinary
Something's got a hold on me
I get this feeling I'm in motion
A sudden sense of liberty
The chances are we've gone too far
You took my time, and you took my money
Now, I fear you've left me standing
In a world that's so demanding

CHORUS
CHORUS

Morning sun
Morning sun
Morning sun
Morning sun
Morning sun
Morning sun

GREAT TUNE!  Brings back memories.  Thanx RP!

You're painting the 80s with too broad of a brush; New Order were never a "hair product" band.

That's correct. It's a great version of a great song. Just not this one!

I would agree that it's your perogative.  However, something posted in a public forum is the business of anyone who reads it and chooses to respond.

I wasn't aware there is a "trendy fashion thing" going on with regards to gifs! LOOOOOOLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!

Does "LOOOOOOLLLLLLLLL" rhyme with "jewel"?

Makes me wonder, what would Ian think of this? It's quite the opposite of the gloomy synth rock Joy Division made.
The Best New Order Song!
Love a lot of New Order but this tune is pretty low on the list - overplayed and mediocre compared to their great works.
Love this song, can't help but tap my foot. Many happy memories of many happy times with this tune in the background. Thanks RP!

Not quite on the level of Tears for Fears, but this is classic 80s pop in a good way. Love it!

Can't hear this song without thinking of the dance scene in American Psycho.

One of the best, I like it.

You have to love a decade when overly argumentative drummers could credibly be threatened with being replaced by a machine.
Wow. I have a sudden urge to go "clubbing". Glad those days are over. Wish this song was.

Oh, the 80s.   We had only just survived disco and then this kind of stuff started coming out--
Lack of Faith. Lack of Substance.  Substance abuse.

It just reminds me how much I hated mainstream 80's pop. To be fair it isn't a bad tune.

I don't think Radio Paradise should abstain from playing it just because I, personally, happened to hate the 80's. For one thing, if they never played anything I disliked, I'd start worrying. For another, it's good to have an occasional reminder that, yes, exiting the 80s was indeed a sensible choice for humanity in general and me in particular.
Hard to believe one of the darkest bands in history could make this song, with a new singer.

I think this laid the ground work for "What is Love" that SNL made oh so popular.


This is what 3 rating was made for, thanks to New Order.
Great 80's video..

I saw New Order live at the Berkeley Greek Theater when they toured for this Album in 1987. The lineup was with Gene Loves Jezebel and Echo and the Bunnyman. The goth newwave crowd was a show in itself.

Survived the test of time. Liking it.
A great video if I remember? 
Sorry, far too 80's for me.... And not the good 80's at that....
Every era has its good sides. Unfortunately, this wasn't it for me...
This is a critically acclaimed hit from the 80's RP also plays critically acclaimed hits from other decades and obviously stuff from now which is interesting enough to deserve a proper critique.

So not quite sure where your surprise is coming from.

This reminds me of the dance clubs that played New Order extended cuts
in DC.  This music and cocaine that was the scene back then.  A lot of
fun, and late late nights!!!!!
Dang - I love the way this song starts... It gets my foot tapping, my shoulders rocking... Oh, wait - it's an epileptic seizure. {#Roflol} Seriously - I do like this song.  New Order has this damnable way of either making me dance or making me tear my hair out.  Since I still have most of my hair, they usually manage to stay on my good side. This song is straddling the fence...

Thought the song was Blue Monday?

A good example of the best music from the 80's.

Only a 6/10 on my list.

I'm juuust a little too young to have lived through that time (I would've been in elementary school, and in the United States) but it's still a fun movie to watch.  Steve Coogan should have my babies.



Knowing I'm in a minority, this is no more than 3 cord nifty-fifty glitzzz.... BUT I love the recording of
the recording of pre-recorded drums.Well ya can't accuse them of under-dubbing.

I never ever knew the name of this song, despite having heard it a bajillion times.
I really need this song right now.

Sorry Birdieboo, legwarmers are back in a big way over here in Sweden.... although they are worn differently (inside boots, with the tops sticking the top like tall socks)  I guess I can handle it, as long as legwarmers don't come back with slashed off the shoulder, cropped Flashdance sweatshirts, uber-short shorts, bright shiny tights, headbands and bad perms.....  I may have to drown myself....

Let's summarize:

Hate New Order > call them Tuna whiners > get hate mail from sensitive people who tell me not to hate... (etc, etc)...

Clearly the problem is mine.  Lighten up bro, it ain't that deep.
 
Someday when you read comments as they actually are, without adding and imagining them as 'sensitive people', hate mail, dissertations, soap boxes, etc etc., then I won't feel the need to clarify inaccurate portrayals. I don't really care about your own problems with these imaginary issues of yours, so, as you say, 'it ain't that deep' to me.

I am lightened up and I don't even need any helium to get there... I don't have a problem with you...so as far as I'm concerned the matter is closed... this is a really cool song, and we're all moving on to other subject matter.


remember this video? it's a michel gondry - blue man group - WWF mashup https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=og1HAkjOuL0
Got that right Stew.  The problem is definitely yours.
Bill must be on meth....lok at the last 8-10 songs!!!

Matter of fact, I don't think it's stupid to try to save the environment so we all have it, instead trashing it like a slob, and I don't think it's soap boxy to provide factual info instead of trashing people and bands with mistaken stereotypes based on your own personal drama problems.

Clearly the problem is mine.  Lighten up bro, it ain't that deep.
