I hate this band not so much for their mediocre noise, but for opening the doors for so many untalented whiners who shamelessly mimic them.   
I don't care what anybody says, New Order sucks. IMHO {#Angel}

One of my favourite tracks ever.
It's up there with "Teenage Kicks" (Undertones) and "Say What You Want" (Texas) as 'perfectly' constructed songs. I'm not a musician, so I can't really explain what I mean, other than I could listen to them again and again. While I'm list building, there's also "Tempted" (Squeeze) and "Don't Stop Believin'" (Journey) to go on the perfect songs list.

Any other fans of Ceremony might be interested to know that Radiohead did a very listenable cover of the song (and I hate covers). You can find it on YouTube.

Lastly, there's plenty of discussion elsewhere on whether this track was officially a Joy Division track or a New Order track. I think it's a Joy Division song first released on a New Order album, but written and first performed by Joy Division. The lyrics are Ian Curtis' and a live version can be found on Joy Divisions' "Still" album with Ian on vocal of course.

I grew up in the north of England in the '70s and regret never having seen Joy Division live during those days.
Did see plenty of other good bands though...   :-)
Pink Floyd and Hawkwind played my school hall. Who else can say that?

All she ask's the strength to hold me,
Then again the same old story,
World will travel, oh so quickly,
Travel first and lean towards this time. Oh, I'll break them down, no mercy shown,
Heaven knows, it's got to be this time,
Watching her, these things she said,
The times she cried,
Too frail to wake this time. Oh I'll break them down, no mercy shown
Heaven knows, it's got to be this time,
Avenues all lined with trees,
Picture me and then you start watching,
Watching forever, forever,
Watching love grow, forever,
Letting me know, forever.
 

..thx indeed!..first NO single, released in 1981..reflects more of the darkness of their Joy Division origins..

Never the same after Giuliani - I much preferred the edge of the 70's and 80's. Damn.

( btw - I met Seldom Seen. Unfortunately Hayduke (the Abbey Hayduke) is no longer with us. HD2 roams the east end, it seems. )

Nice contrast with the preceding song—The Dead's "Not Fade Away/Going Down the Road Feeling Bad." Couldn't listen to many consecutive songs of either band, but back to back they're a nice change from the other style.

Beats the hell out of the vocal line on the incomplete live recording of this song by Joy Division (which as far as I know is the only recording of this song with Ian Curtis on vocals). The Sound tech had the vocals buried for most of the song. Damn shame.

Wow, what a surprise. I never hear New Order on RP. I love their early stuff (like this) especially.

Thanks for playing it.

Brilliant.  Interpol is certainly channeling this era of New Order, but their music is unique and beautiful in its own right.
 
Whoa!  Good call — I somehow never noticed that before, but it's definitely there with this song (and Interpol's "Rest My Chemistry" comes to mind).

A brilliant sparse work that would supply New Order with instead street cred before they would go on and mess up in later years.
