New Order - Ceremony Lyrics






This is why events unnerve me,
They find it all, a different story,
Notice whom for wheels are turning,
Turn again and turn towards this time,
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.

  1. P.... V....

    Remember the days of listening to the whole album cranked loud so many years ago

  2. u.... L....

    Very JD sounding.

  3. L.... Y....

    So ahead of their time...

  4. D.... P....

    Just an awesome tune.

  5. s.... c....

    may the fucking 'friend' who never gave back to me the original album  get an electric shock everytime he plays it.

  6. J.... H....

    This band is motivating through n through in a myriad of ways.

  7. W.... A....

    I jump rope to this song! I beat off to this song! I rob stores to this song! I vote to this song! I make love to this song! I Dump women to this song and do it all over again

  8. M.... B....

    I love this version.

  9. S.... F....

    if joy division/new order never existed id be lost

  10. G.... K....

    Only two words are necessary here; FUCKIN' BRILLIANT!...

  11. M.... B....

    Killer cut

  12. w.... ....

    Why isn’t this version on Apple Music??? 😭

    w.... ....

    wazi13 it used to be but it got removed

  13. T.... C....

    Doomer approved.

  14. C.... F....

    I wish this version was on Spotify or some other streaming service. I don't know why they only have the other version...

  15. B.... ....

    The best version.

  16. A.... S....

    Amo de paixão...tão linda

  17. B.... ....

    Substance now, stop being absolutely

  18. T.... M....

    This is our post-processional song at our wedding ceremony <3

  19. R.... J....

    just getting into this band, very far into

  20. J.... B....

    Alone at 27 contemplating life listening to this

  21. S.... M....

    This song is so Interpol

  22. M.... B....

    What's the best pop-rock song ever written and why is it Ceremony?

  23. E.... M....

    still and always will, listen

  24. C.... N....

    QUEEN escucho estas piezas de grandeza, Depeche Mode las imito un dia soliado en Francia mientras con sus "fan´s" les hacian el trabajo.

  25. d.... m....

    About 35 years ago a friend of my fathers left a copy of Power, corruption and lies by new order in my fathers car. I was only about 7 at the time. He couldn't collect it until the following morning so I decided to pop it into my new walkman to see what it was. It started what has proven to be a life long love of Joy Division and New Order.

  26. R.... H....

    Joy Division and New Order changed my life in this way, through long tunnels there is a light that flickers on and off. Finding out where it stays on is an internal journey that we all take in life from youth to adulthood. If you don't have this music on play you won't enjoy the journey. Ian Curtis lives and rock on JD NO

  27. S.... F....

    Im sad but would have it no other way

  28. G.... R....

    I FUCKING LOVE THIS!
    BUT WTF IS IT ABOUT?!!!

  29. C.... H....

    This song is a unique experience

  30. d.... ....

    That chord is so though to make sound clear. ( If you've ever played this you know the one.) I can't get it to sound clear like this. Any tips?

  31. b.... ....

    I've been using the part that starts at 2:00 as my ring tone for years.

  32. N.... N....

    Mom I miss you, it’s only been two months
    Since your passing. I feel like I can’t fight the urge to join you much longer. I will see you soon

    N.... N....

    Hey Nicole, come on, you've got so much to live for, you will come through it.

    N.... N....

    Nicole, I don't know you, but I bet your mom thought you were an amazing person and she would love to see her daughter living a full and healthy life. Please do that for your mother Nicole, she is and will be so proud of you.

    N.... N....

    Never give up. You got this ❤️

    N.... N....

    One life and it's yours to live!!!

    N.... N....

    To all you beautiful souls thank you 🙏 The support really helps

  33. T.... ....

    I was fortunate enough to hear both JD and New Order play this song,it is still their finest moment IMHO :)

  34. a.... t....

    Neta que de mi parte vayan y chinguen a su madre los de DIDI

  35. f.... v....

    I remember my teenage years listening to this kind of musics....walking the streets of Recto, Morayta, Lepanto, Legarda, Avenida, Quezon blvd, sabay bilyar sa Tandem saka sa Azcaraga.😬

  36. F.... N....

    I like this sound. this is music for our best times.

  37. C.... K....

    this song hurts my heart

  38. C.... K....

    fuck whoever disliked this

  39. �.... ....

    ありがとう

  40. w.... ....

    This is the best version. Somehow it’s not on Apple Music anymore...

  41. K.... M....

    Saw them at Preston guild hall about 85.opened up with this.masterful.

  42. E.... L....

    Nova Ordem. Substâncua. Cerimonia 1987.

  43. P.... B....

    I greatest song ever. I must have played this about 5 times at my wedding reception.

  44. N.... F....

    Beautiful and I lost my mind.

  45. M.... S....

    a música da minha vida, meu deus

  46. B.... C....

    Snowboard was inveted for this song

  47. b.... w....

    Substance one of the great albums ever that never got any recognition - what a shame !!!

  48. H.... X....

    Most important song ever written. Thank you for everything Ian, Hooky, Barney and Stephen. Opened my eyes to a complete different perspective. Rest easy Ian.

  49. i.... ....

    This album is so awesome, and it’s extremely lame that I can’t listen to it on Amazon’s music streaming service.

  50. O.... H....

    Doomers?

  51. C.... d....

    The Best version of this song

  52. A.... F....

    I just heard the Joy Division's Birmingham University (England, Jan 1980) Concert with Ian on vocals...Only version with Ian on vocals I can find. I am sure there is a demo somewhere. Anyway it still sounds great on this album.

  53. F.... B....

    Why does this remind me so much of Chicago ... my home and all the new wave kids ... and the cigarettes and fishnets ... and drunken nights in alleys under the moonlight.

    F.... B....

    Adn rain slicked streets.

  54. M.... M....

    Any body else Corduroy by Pearl Jam?

  55. N.... A....

    Thing about New Order, and songs like this. It's always pure and passionately depressing. I love that honesty but it's a bummer.

  56. R.... M....

    Ainda tenho esperança de ouvir uma música do New Order e dizer: essa eu gostei.

    R.... M....

    Raflésio Mathias como assimmmm? tu não curtiu essa? feels bad demais hahahahaha

    R.... M....

    Raflésio Mathias escuta a versão do radiohead dessa música, pode ser melhor até! e tenta escutar temptation deles, é muito boa

  57. G.... 3....

    When a kid asks "how was living in the 80's like?? "
    I play them this song.
    This is EXACTLY how it FELT LIKE.

    G.... 3....

    You can feel the desolation but yet so much time on your hands to explore.

  58. N.... B....

    Iconic. Masterpiece. It was great being a teenager in the 80s 💋 xo

  59. C.... K....

    hottttttest playlist on the net

  60. J.... M....

    Sublime.

  61. J.... L....

    I just only heard this song other day in this year 2019 an Im loving it whoooohoooo

  62. R.... P....

    Before the Movement of Joy Division to New Order there is a Ceremony...

    R.... P....

    fucking poetic

  63. m.... 6....

    *Internet Addiction, Wikipedia TM, and a Red Plague Cross*
    Is this that weird thing where they make the letters of your name add up to 666 as a joke or an insult? Or, is it the birth of the railroads hidden in the wooden rails of a coal mine? Perhaps, it's a message from Trismegistus from the Secret Sermon of Regeneration? Is it an unexplainable insanity after like after watching the play Dr. Faustus from seeing devils in the general proximity? Is it Galileo's cantilever beam as related to pencil manufacturing? Is it the importance of the number 15 in the Old and New Testament of Paul, Peter, Hosea, and Micah? Is it instructions on how to dap a metal sheet on an anticlastic stake? Is it a Spanish horse pulley from the birth of trading horses? Is it horology in simple bars and lines for the atomic time before Cesium particles? Is this Edison's Kinetoscope covered with tar paper called "Black Maria?". No, it's all of that and more dangling like a carrot on a Little Rascals carriage and creating vampires of a practical laziness to haunt me in the streets. Do you want an anxiety attack? Try looking those up. Why do people choose one band or video over another?

  64. M.... B....

    This whole album gives me chills, beyond epic !

  65. d.... T....

    Ian curtis spirit shine in this song 🙏🙏🙏

  66. K.... H....

    You can hear this song a thousand times at a thousand different points in your life, and each time it will mean something different to you. The most beautiful song of all time.

  67. W.... t....

    New order had to listen to a cassette of Ian Curtis singing this and just tried to figure out what he was saying

  68. G.... M....

    how ya that wet!!!! lol

  69. m.... j....

    One of the absolute greatest bands ever. Their originality and harmonic sounds are unmatched. They have so many great songs. Way ahead of their time. Best ever in their genre, in my opinion.

  70. j.... ....

    I will forever love this song. Always. Such a wonderful melody.

  71. j.... H....

    Such enlightening comments on feeling great to be alive but this song makes me want to die and take a few of you out with me!

  72. A.... O....

    Eu andando de Skate com meus amigos nos anos 90 em Sorocaba e escutando New Order Ceremony no meu walkman. Dois dos meus melhores amigos daquela época já não estão entre nós e outros estão casados e com filhos e já não tenho mais contato com eles. E agora eu estou aqui escutando New Order - Ceremony e lembrando daquela época boa que não volta mais!! Época que eu era feliz e não sabia. Alguém tem uma maquina do tempo ai para me emprestar?? :(

  73. B.... M....

    This is the best version.

    B.... M....

    Agree completely

  74. 4.... f....

    Thanks Hideo kojima

  75. R.... C....

    I'm mentally ill have been since 1998 it's a great pity Ian didn't get the help he clearly needed. To anyone struggling with mental health issues I can only urge you to contact your doctor and ask for advice support. Best wishes

    R.... C....

    Robert Creighton lots of doctors still don’t believe it exists. Some therapists I’ve been to are nightmares. Just isn’t as simple as getting help.

  76. i.... a....

    Excelente!!!

  77. W.... J....

    The best thing about this video is the carnitas ad of taco cabana

    Bored, vindictive, ignorant BOTS who should get a life 🤔😐🤦‍♂️

  85. O.... ....

    Despite all the negative context I still view this as a beautiful optimistic song

  86. B.... M....

    New order and joy division are the only bands ever give me goose bumps

  87. N.... O....

    To me this is the greatest song ever written.

  88. S.... ....

    Iv listend to a lot of new order and it just got to synthy and shallow , joy division was far far superior.

  89. r.... g....

    This is the best version in my opinion

  90. J.... I....

    I love remastered 2016 CEREMONY..howeva, you will never touch CEREMONY ON 1987s SUBSTANCE

    J.... I....

    Jennifer Isabelle Cecilia Gervais
    Then just listen to the original recording

  91. �.... C....

    Man this version is so much better than the remastered one.
    I'm too hard on myself.

  92. �.... ....

    Is this sung by Ian or is it by another member in new order?

  93. J.... R....

    My girlfriend cheated on me as I was preparing to propose shes the mother of my child and my high school sweet heart this song played in my head as I imagined her walking down the isle but now when I hear this song I fight for my life for 4 minutes because some days I really could die and be happy.

  94. J.... S....

    I looked over my shoulder.......

  95. h.... ....

    Songs like this is an ideology...
