New Order

Made using Gadget App with a host of vintage software synths. Probably needs a bit more mastering.

Blue Monday (1989 Version)(New Order Cover)

Pulled out the insides of the missile casing, upgraded a few parts, but left enough of the old for you to be able to relive the glory of the original. Your freedom we will save.

Love Vigilantes (ICBMs Version)(New Order cover)

My all-synth version of the 1979 track. Confusion in her eyes that says it all.

She's Lost Control (Purinergic Version) (Joy Division cover)

My all-synth cover of the 1985 hit. I almost called it Dub Vulture - fans will know why. I like walking in the park when it gets late at night.

Subculture (3rd Harmonic Version) (New Order cover)

My all-synth version of the 1985 single. Pretending not to see his gun,
I said let's go out and have some fun. I tried to fix the issues with my earlier version, which were cause by iOS issues on my iPad - I just plain can't edit something that keeps getting buffering issues.

The Perfect Kiss (Buffer Overflow Version) (New Order cover)

My all-synth version of the track from the 1983 ‘Power Corruption and Lies’. Sound formed in a vacuum may seem a waste of time.

Your Silent Face (Prosopagnosia Version) (New Order cover)

My all-synth version of the 1982 track. I seriously was going to try vocals, but where's that gadget gone?

I see danger
All on the corner sent by me
Shadows the ways
Straight away you ran from me

5 8 6 (Cumulonimbus Version) (New Order cover)

My all-synth Version of the 1993 track / 1994 single.

Listen
I may be wrong but you're missing
There's something wrong you could say
Ruined in a day
You could be the lover of jade
Forever on your own in the shade
Let's do it anyway

Ruined in a Day (Thea Version) (New Order cover)

My all-synth version of the 1986 hit. 

I feel fine and I feel good
I'm feeling 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

Bizarre Love Triangle (178º Version) (New Order cover)

My all-synth version of the 1983 single.

You just can't believe me
When I show you what you mean to me
You just can't believe me
When I show you what you cannot see

You're hiding from feelings, searching for more
Sharing and hoping, untouched for so long
Our lives still change from the way that we were
And now I'll tell you something I think you should know
You just can't believe me
When I show you what you mean to me
You just can't believe me
When I show you what you cannot see

You cause me confusion, you told me you cared
He's calling these changes that last to the end
Ask me no questions, I'll tell you no lies
The past is your present, the future is mine
You just can't believe me
When I show you what you mean to me
You just can't believe me
When I show you what you cannot see

Confusion (Interference Version) (New Order cover)

My all-synth version of the 1993 track.

Maybe I've forgotten
The name and the address
Of everyone I've ever known,
It's nothing I regret
Save it for another day, 'cause
The school is out 
And the kids have run away

I would like a place I can call my own
Have a conversation on my telephone
Wake up everyday, that would be a start
I would not complain 'bout my wounded heart

I was upset, you see
Almost all the time
You used to be a stranger
Now you are mine

Regret (Eruption Version) (New Order cover)

My all-synth version of the 1988 track.

You're much too young
To be a part of me
Too young
To get a hold on me

You're much too young
You're much too young
You're much too young
To mess around with me

Hey
You know I've met a lot of cool chicks 
But I've never met a girl with all her own teeth
That's why I love you babe
That's why we could be 
But you're too young
Too young

Fine Time (Perfect Dentition Version) (New Order cover)

My all-synth version of the 1987 track.

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
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
And the value of destiny comes to nothing
I can't tell you where we're going
I guess there was just no way of knowing
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

True Faith (Solarised Version) (New Order cover)

My all-synth version of the 1989 track.

I just can't help thinking
What you've done to me
You built a wall of love and tore it right down
In front of me
And you think you know what's going on
You keep telling me that I am wrong
I don't care about what you do
'Cause if you mess with me I'll get rid of you
The picture you see is no portrait of me
It's too real to be shown to someone I don't know
And it's driving me wild
It makes me act like a child
You think I am crazy, but what can I do
You waste your time, like my money
It ain't so funny, but it's true
(Don't waste my money, baby)
Now you can't tell me what's going on
And that I am weak while you are strong
What is it you need, that makes your heart bleed
Do you really know? 'Cause it doesn't show
The picture you see is no portrait of me
It's too real to be shown to someone I don't know
And it's driving me wild
It makes me act like a child
The picture you see is no portrait of me
It's too real to be shown to someone I don't know
And it's driving me wild
It makes me act like a child

Round and Round (3-Phase Version) (New Order cover)

My all-synth version of the 1992 hit.

I was standing by the ocean when I saw your face
I couldn't look at you
I guess you knew it but I never realized
That we were through

And now I'm down here all alone
With every feeling that I own
You can't take that away

And with every breath we take
And the illusions we create
Will come to you someday

And I was touched
By the hand of God
Never knew it
But of course I was

I never hoped to do the things in this world
I wanted to
Because everything I own
It belongs to you

I never looked at you in a sexual way
In my life before
And I've never woken up like this
So desperately before

And I was touched
By the hand of God
Never knew it
But of course I was

I was touched
By the hand of God
Never knew it
But of course I was

Touched
By the hand of God
Never knew it
But of course I was

I was touched
By the hand of God
Never knew it
But of course I was

Touched by the Hand of God (Tiangong-1 Version) (New Order cover)

My all-synth version of the 2001 hit. Written by Gillian Lesley Gilbert, Peter Hook, Stephen Paul David Morris, Bernard Sumner, Robert Berkeley Davis, Cathy Dennis. i.e. Mostly New Order.

Can’t Get You Out of My Head (Hypothalamus Version) (Kylie Minogue cover)

My all-synth version of the 1983 track.

Won't you please let me go
These words lie inside they hurt me so
And I'm not the kind that likes to tell you
Just what I want to do
I'm not the kind that needs to tell you
Just what you, want me to
I saw you this morning, I thought that you might like to know
I received your message in full a few days ago
I understood every word that it said
And now that I've actually heard it, you're going to regret
And I'm not the kind that likes to tell you
Just what you want me to
You're not the kind that needs to tell me
About the birds and the bees
Do you find this happens all the time
Crucial point one day becomes a crime
And I'm not the kind that likes to tell you
Just what I want to do
I'm not the kind that needs to tell you
I've lost you, I've lost you
I've lost you, I've lost you
I've lost you
I've lost you, I've lost you
I've lost you, I've lost you
I've lost you
I've lost you, I've lost you
I've lost you, I've lost you
I've lost you

Age of Consent (Commensalism Version) (New Order cover)

My all-synth cover of the 1986 track.

It was January, nineteen-sixty-three
When Johnny came home with a gift for me
He said I bought it for you because I love you
And I bought it for you 'cause it's your birthday, too
He was so very nice, he was so very kind
To think of me at this point in time
I used to think of him, he used think of me
He told me to close my eyes
My gift would be a great surprise
I saw tears were in his eyes
He never meant to hurt me
Oh, God, Johnny, don't point that gun at me
There's so many ways our lives have changed
But please, I beg, don't do this to me
Johnny, don't point that gun at me
Can I save my life at any price?
For God's sake won't you listen to me?

And though he was ashamed that he had took a life
Johnny came home with another wife
And I often remembered how it used to be
Before that special occasion, nineteen-sixty-three
There was too many ways that you could kill someone
Like in a love affair, when the love has gone
He used to think of her, she used to think of him
He told me to close my eyes
My gift would be a great surprise
I saw tears were in his eyes
He never meant to hurt me
Oh, God, Johnny, don't point that gun at me
There's so many ways our lives have changed
But please, I beg, don't do this to me
Johnny, you keep on using me
Can I change my life for any price?
Oh, Johnny, won't you listen to me?

He told me to close my eyes
My gift would be a great surprise
I saw hatred in his eyes
But he never meant to hurt me
Oh, God, Johnny, don't point that gun at me
There's so many ways our lives have changed
But please, I beg, don't do this to me
Johnny, you keep on using me
Can I change my life for any price?
Oh, Johnny, won't you listen to me?

I just want you to be mine
I don't want this world to shine
I don't want this bridge to burn
Oh, Johnny, do you miss me?
I just want to feel for you
I will always feel for you

I will always feel for you
I will always feel for you
I will always feel for you

1963 (Pan Am Version) (New Order cover)

My all-synth version of the 2001 track.

I don't know if I told you, but I'm seeking sanctuary
You'll never guess the things that I do
I'll have the devil round for tea
Don't you know that I'm here beside you
Can't you see that I can't relax
When I saw you in my rearview
You could've stopped me in my tracks

I'll be there for you when you want me to
I'll stand by your side like I always do
In the dead of night it'll be alright
''cause I'll be there for you when you want me to

You can take me to an island, ride across the stormy sea
We can worship pagan idols, there together you and me
Why don't you run over here and rescue me?
You can drive down in your car
Why don't we both take a ride and turn that key
We'll drive at 60 miles an hour

I'll be there for you when you want me to
I'll stand by your side like I always do
In the dead of night it'll be alright
''cause I'll be there for you when you want me to

I'll be there for you when you want me to
I'll stand by your side like I always do
In the dead of night it'll be alright
''cause I'll be there for you when you want me to

I'll be there for you when you want me to
I'll stand by your side like I always do
In the dead of night it'll be alright
''cause I'll be there for you when you want me to

I'll be there for you when you want me to
I'll stand by your side like I always do
In the dead of night it'll be alright
''cause I'll be there for you when you want me to

60 Miles an Hour (96.5 k Version) (New Order cover)

My all-synth version of the 2001 hit that inspired the Killers.

We're like crystal, we break easy
I'm a poor man, if you leave me
I'm applauded, then forgotten
It was summer, now it's autumn

I don't know what to say, you don't care anyway
I'm a man in a rage (just tell me what I've got to do), with a girl I betrayed
Here comes love, it's like honey
You can't buy it with money, you're not alone anymore
(whenever you're here with me)
You shock me to the core, you shock me to the core

We're like crystal, it's not easy
With your love, you could feed me
Every man, and every woman
Needs someone, So keep it coming
Keep it coming, keep it coming, keep it coming
Keep it coming, keep it coming, keep it coming
Keep it coming

I don't know what to say, you don't care anyway
I'm a man in a rage (just tell me what I've got to do), with a girl I betrayed
Here comes love, it's like honey
You can't buy it with money, you're not alone anymore
(whenever you're here with me)
You shock me to the core, you shock me to the core
 

Keep it coming, keep it coming, keep it coming
Keep it coming, keep it coming, keep it coming
Keep it coming, keep it coming, keep it coming

Crystal (Orthorhombic Version) (New Order cover)

I make obnoxious synth covers of previously fine songs. All done with Korg Gadget.
