Radio Paradise (mobile)

Every time I think of you
I get a shot right through into a bolt of blue
It's no problem with mind, but it's a problem I find
Living a life that I can't leave behind
There's no sense in telling me
The wisdom of a fool won't set you free
But that's the way that it goes, and it's what nobody knows
And every day my confusion grows
Every time I see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray
I'm waiting for that final moment
You say the words that I can't say
I feel fine and I feel good
I feel like I never should
Whenever I get this way, I just don't know what to say
Why can't we be ourselves like we were yesterday
I'm not sure what this could mean
I don't think you're what you seem
I do admit to myself, that if I hurt someone else
Then I'll never see, just what we're meant to be
Every time I see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray
I'm waiting for that final moment
You say the words that I can't say
Every time I see you falling
I'll, get down on my knees and pray
I'm waiting for the final moment
You, say the words that I can't say

New Order was a huge part of the soundtrack of my mid-20's. It was a time when I overcame chronic shyness and started to enjoy my youth and learned the sweet pleasure of sowing some wild oats. The club scene in the 80's also made it incredibly easy. I learned that all I had to do was tease my hair, throw on a short skirt and a band t-shirt, and I could go to a club by myself and dance for hours—by myself, with a guy, in a circle of people, didn't matter. I could let the beat take control and forget myself. "Bizarre Love Triangle" was my favorite dance song in those years, but even then, it wasn't a popular opinion. I often had to fight my way through the crowd to the DJ booth to request it. There was something about those opening beats that just made my heart explode with joy. So, no, can't enjoy this subdued take on the song at all. [ Reply ]
lexica Jun 23, 2011 - 18:18	Wow, this version just drains allllll the vigor from the song. [ Reply ]
lshinkawa Jun 23, 2011 - 18:18	A completely unnecessary remake. [ Reply ]
fredriley May 23, 2011 - 02:15	Sweet voice and an improvement on the original, and I write that as someone who was a New Order fan. At least she can sing, which is more than can be said for Bernard Sumner. 7 from the Nottingham jury. [ Reply ]
gandalfbmg Apr 21, 2011 - 12:52	7 for the song, +1 more for Angie Hart being a part of the Mutant Enemy crew... [ Reply ]
MojoJojo Nov 15, 2010 - 07:07	After 10 seconds of this I had to switch briefly to Illinois Street Lounge for a palate cleanser, then to Groove Salad for the duration. It worked. [ Reply ]

This cover makes me think of those TV commercials (for Pepto) that are in such exceptionally bad taste (really saying something for american TV commercials). The "!" in the band's name simply seals the 1. [ Reply ]

kaybee Feb 02, 2010 - 14:45	I actually like this! For once, I like listening to this song! I could never understand the hype around New Order...never liked their work and didn't like them when they were Joy Division either. I know, I know, a lot of people like them and it's just a matter of taste. Unlike the original where the singer always sounded like he was on novocaine, this version to me sounds like it comes from the heart. [ Reply ]

This is like a baseball player saying he doesn't like to throw a ball. It's supposed to be fun, for f*ck's sake! I've always thought that the title of this song promised something much more interesting than the song actually delivered. Now I know why. And this isn't the only New Order song I detest. Note to other bands: Please do not waste my time singing songs that you don't even enjoy yourselves. It's silly to reply to a years old comment like this one, but it's not like writing lyrics was the only thing he did, or that he didn't enjoy singing even if writing the lyrics was a chore. It's the reason why he's remembered as a vocalist and not necessarily a poet (although there's room for debate there). For a lot of musicians, their songs start out as a melody, often made up of nonsense words, and they then have to go back and find words to fit their song. If you cannot appreciate the merits of the melodic component of a truly good song that suffers from suboptimal lyrics, you've just thrown out most of pop music and a LOT of good tunes. [ Reply ]
