Xiu Xiu - Ceremony (New Order cover)

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
Word will travel, oh so quickly
Travel first and turn towards this time
I'll break them down, no mercy shown
Heaven knows, it's got to be this time
Watching her, the things she said
The times she cried
Too frail to wake this time
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 forever, forever
Watching forever, forever

I never thought I would hear someone who could sing ceremony with more feeling and desperation than Ian or Bernard, until I heard this version

[@whinygothbaby]

Honestly this sounds like how I feel 99.9% of the time God bless xiu xiu

[@ross2709]

Love the first few moments. The classic guitar riff makes me assume its by-the-book, then the eclectic percussion is dropped in with the perfect topping of synth immolation.

The original (one of my very favorite songs) is a poignant reflection on unfulfilled dreams, in my view. Whereas this is a full blown existential crisis. I don't know if I necessarily enjoyed

[@Eebers]

xiu xiu really knows how to cover a song, you can't get this flavor anywhere else

[@apapataco]

Just saw them live last night and they closed with this. Great way to end a great show.

[@mark1321]

This version is Ian Curtis favourite imo

[@stephenlockard]

shrill and almost abrasive. always loved this version

[@commetsftw]

So agressive and full of angst. This is how the song is suppose to be sung considering the lyrics.

[@jamieburns1207]

did not expect this to sound anything like it did. guess thats my fault for having expectations when it comes to xiu xiu

[@davidjohnson7555]

[@harrykidd8089]

Saw them live about a decade ago and I’ve never forgotten this one.

[@zweiihanderr]

This is why events unnerve me

Great song. Don't become a casualty of what's wrong with you.
