How does it feel
To treat me like you do
When you've your hands upon me
And told me who you are

I thought I was mistaken
I thought I heard your words
Tell me how do I feel
Tell me now how do I feel

Those who came before me
Lived through their vocations
From the past until completion
They'll turn away no more

And I still find it so hard
To say what I need to say
But I'm quite sure that you'll tell me
Just how I should feel today

I see a ship in the harbor
I can and shall obey
But if it wasn't for your misfortune
I'd be a heavenly person today

And I thought I was mistaken
I thought I heard you speak
Tell me how do I feel
Tell me now, how should I feel

I thought I told you to leave me
While I walked down to the beach
Tell me how does it feel
When your heart grows cold
When your heart grows cold
When your heart grows cold

The Danish group Swan Lee also has their version of this song. Swan Lee was a good band overall.
Yet another crazy cover from Bill! Can't say I like it, but I'm glad I heard it on RP! Once, haha.
As a loyal and monster New Order fan, and especially a Blue Monday fan...I speak from the heart Bill...please for the Love of God, may this version never grace your airwaves again...thanks...a loyal listener outside of Ottawa, Canada....

So Bill...
If you forewarn us that we may not like this song and the listener rating is 5.7, the obvious next question is why you are playing it?

The answer should be more obvious: because it's his station and he can play what he wants.   A more pressing question is why are there so many narrow-minded, classic-rock-only people listening to a station which identifies itself as "eclectic"?

 
look at Proclivities dropping some knowledge!  that's EXACTLY the answer, heck if BillG wanted to play "it's my party and I'll cry if I want to" he could because it's his station and he can play it if he wants to.


A true bastardization of the original New Order version.  I much prefer the original, needless to say.

Take away the guesswork and just switch to your personal digital library before the song ends.

Probably because Bill likes it, which is a good enough reason for me! Also I think that it's the sign of a great song when you can do something like this to it and it still work.


Sexy as hell! I don't think that it's just because I made a green salad of my Mob Boss and Cold Creek Kush, or the Chronic Cellars, but
Bill dedicated this to New Order fans - COOL and {#Roflol}

I can't help but laugh at this. But hey, it works! 
So with an average of 5.7 out of 10 point rating, the only explanation for all the positive posts must be that every person who likes this song has posted...or else there is a conspiracy wherein the band's friends and family opened accounts on RP just to push the rating past the "playable" limit and annoy the rest of us.  Either that or else it's really late at night and this song is making me delusional.  So for my sanity then...please stop.

Well, I am a New Order fan, and I also like this :)
Worth hearing. Once. 
Damn it this is adorable! Damn Damn Damn

Exactly, I like that oddness of it... makes me think of Mas Raabe's redo of "Oops, I did it again"
WTF?

Silly, but likeable.  I love it when covers take a song completely out of its normal genre and play it completely straight.

So, it's you, is it? :-)


Lazy, vinyl-filler, excels only in the amount of musical clichés it incorporates. All the musicians sound bored. At least it's short. There, I've found something positive to say about it.

hearing this reminds me of the first time I heard Fleetwood Mac on Muzak.

Bury them up to their necks in the sand and wait for the ants, I say.  PSD.
Um no - just no...
 
maybe it's for the Euro-Nickelodeon crowd

I am going to inflict this on some unsuspecting Hipsters, then watch them choke on their co op harvested non fat de caf fair trade organic latte when I explain the provenance of the song to which they have been grooving and adjusting hats or scarves with the de rigeur periodicity of same.
This is completely unnecessary.
Nouvelle Vague is for people who grew up in the 80's and ditched any amount of cool factor they had for a minivan or a huge SUV that they have no real use for. The modern age hipster who throw out the same tired line that if people don't like Nouvelle Vague then they "Just don't get it". Amazing that the children of the 80's who wanted to be different embrace a band who want to be anything but.

We need Bossa Nova like we need to eat uncooked chicken that's been sitting out in the sun for four days. We especially don't need it for songs that don't need a cover by a band that writes elevator music.

Good stuff. I dig it. What a sweet voice and the band is very tight. 10 for sure.
Kinda fun. Kinda funny. Kinda... irritating.{#Confused}
Their version of 'Ever Fallen In Love?" by the Buzzcocks is more succesful.
This isn't very good.
9 out of 10 new covers of classics suck, and this happens to be one of those nine.
COMPLETELY misses the spirit of this song...........!
Heresy!
Best.

New Order cover.

Ever.


They should be shot into the sun for this.
Kinda kooky, kinda nutty, kinda fun.
I like it.
oh man, this SUCKS! SUCKS! SUCKS!
To pull this off you need more than a squeaky little girl voice. Bad vocals, bad background, bad song. A total waste of anything measurable in all dimensions, known and unknown. edit- a quick scroll reveals there may a twist to this, but I'm not gonna dig it up Theres suckiness and there's pseudo suckiness. Well, there is as of right now anyway. This is suckiness, masquerading as pseudo suckiness. Shouldn't I get an award for coining the most terms on RP? This is like giving away copyrighted material. Oh well, I'm like a bottomless well of bullshit.
Wonderful set of albums from Nouvelle Vague! bossa nova new wave excellence!
I really like this - though I think it would get old very too many listens. At first pass i am mostly impressed with the creative changes in the song. 7, which is good from me.

Too bad, you missed the best period in pop music history.
Goes to show you how great New Order was. Their songs sound good in any form. Love it!

I'd love to hear that! And I really LIKE this version. It's cooler than Frente's version of "Bizarre Love Triangle."

i love it when you magically know all of the words to a song that you've never heard.
Nothing beats the original. But this is a pretty good cover. I am chair dancing as I am writing this. Love the chord progressions and the jazzied up chords. 10
Thier version of Guns of Brixton is very good. But then Guns of Brixton is a very good song.
I wish this would break down into the Orgy version, and this soft-spoken female singer would start breaking things.
Wow, this actually works - shows what you can do with great songs!
As a cover it gets a 5 for originality, but that is far overshadowed by the cheeziness factor, averaging out to a 3.
Ok. That'll work. But it takes some real balls to not only cover such an alt-rock anthem such as this, but change its musical style.
Nouvelle Vague are so cool, so sexy, so yummy! please more of them rp?
This is an eclectic cover :oD.
i like this better than the original.
This is a fun and very tasty take on the New Order classic. I never thought I'd hear it against a samba beat... :o). 7 from the Nottingham jury.

Come on now, this sucks.
Samba ... Samba ... Love it Brightens up the whole Manchester feel quite a bit Love it
On the LRC in the AM. On the main stream in the PM.
Hmm....I really like this version. Quite original.

The lyrics and arrangement just don't fit together IMHO. Sometimes that kind of juxtaposition works, but sadly this isn't one of those times.
Nice to hear some Nouvelle Vague...many good uploads on their albums.
