This is one of the most beautiful guitar solos I've ever heard. It conveys the feeling of complete and utter anger, as well as despair. it starts off angry, and raging. Then it descends into a fit of "screaming" like a years worth of anger has just been released, and then it calms, the anger vanishing, only the feeling of sadness remains
IMO this is their best song. This song reaches down to the bottom of my soul, no words and yet the pain etched in this song is just breath taking. Each band member shining at each part. Each layer and level of the song pulls me through leaving me to wonder where the time went
@@laabgbbs1 There's always the one dipshit who reads everything at face value and replies to someone's expression of their interpretation of a work of art with "it's really not that deep," when the reality is that they only have the shallowest of reads on the work themselves.
There is no feeling like finishing a timed exam with 20 minutes left while listening to this as you race to finish it in time. Truly an experience like no other.
I thought it to come from the word Eulogy. One that is both uplifting and them still sad. However, when I look up the meaning of the word I'm not so sure. However it is in a key that is often sad. I also liked the remix in the movie Pretty in Pink . I too am in a meditative trance while listening
This full length version is haunting, mesmerising, a little raw and makes the hairs stand up on the back of my neck. Makes me feel a little sad as well. Can’t think of any other song that does this.
This is by far the most unique song they ever created. New Order have such a varied back catalogue of songs. You've got pop songs like Bizarre Love Triangle, incredibly bleak and grim songs like I.C.B. and super unique stuff like Elegia or The Perfect Kiss.
This great New Order album is already 35 years old this year!!! My biggest dream would be to have this full version of Elegia finally issued on vinyl in its complete length. As part of a special 'Low Life (Deluxe Redux)' Edition!! Which effectively means re-releasing this on DOUBLE LP in a newly re-configured GATEFOLD sleeve (complete with clear acetate plastic sheath outer with the LP title and song titles to reflect the original Factory issue) - with the photos of the band on the four panels (Peter and Bernard in the centrefold of course). Then have new inner sleeves with the credits on one sleeve and the same liner notes as the 2CD remastered releases from 2008/2009 on the other sleeve. Then, here's the best bit, the tracks can be split as follows: RECORD ONE Side A: Love Vigilantes (4.20) - remastered The Perfect Kiss (8.50) - remastered full length 12" version Side B: This Time Of Night (alternate longer version) (5.43) - remastered Sunrise (6.01) - remastered RECORD TWO Side C: Elegia (full length) (17.29) - remastered Side D: Sooner Than You Think (5.12) - remastered Sub-Culture (4.57) - remastered Face Up (5.09) - remastered Extended running time now around 57 minutes in total. Can you imagine how wonderful that would be if this was a reality?
As a New Order fan I can damn well understand the feeling of longing for something that will most likely never be. As such I can only say one thing: Dreams Never End!
The haunting beginning, the middle crescendo and then tapering off again and all as an instrumental. Guess one couldn't really put words to this masterpiece and one should never change perfection.
As a young man. This musical masterpiece, without words and through instrumentals only, in 17 min it has conveyed more emotion and meaning in such a powerful and poignant form, then most other bands could or ever have created over the last 23 years of my life. I'm very happy that I was introduced to this. This is a timeless song. If I ever have children, this is a song I need to pass on.
I was born in a small village I was still a child when we were raided by soldiers Foreign soldiers Torn from my elders I was made to speak their language With each new post, my master's changed Along with the words they made me speak With each change, I change too My thoughts, personality, how I saw right and wrong Words can kill
@@mro9466 Without suffering there can be no compassion. You cannot have the good without the bad. It's not an easy answer but it's the only one that makes sense. It's the ying and the yang of life.
Perfection at it's finest..this hauntingly beautiful melonchy instrumental masterpiece . this song says so much without even uttering a word. Really powerful.
In college, I used to do calisthenics in my garage / room to this song. I remember hearing it from the MGSV 2015 red band trailer. There is such poignant desperation in this song. Doing all those push-ups, sit-ups, planks, etc., it felt as if my life or somebody else's would depend on it someday.
The disturbing events surrounding the Funeral of Will Byers. the scene this was in got me very emotional. with both this song and the scene it was used in.
No words, yet it expresses more than any novel. Few instruments, yet it capable of reaching so many tones. This song is perfect in a minimalistic kind of way- it captures a profound set of feelings that we have all felt at least once in our lifetime: hate, despair, anger, rage, consolation, acceptance... and emotionally throws them all up in the air for us to discover ourselves. This work is a masterpiece of it's own and it reminds me of some of the most melancholic moments of my life, whom I was able to finally reconcile with thanks to this song. Thank you for that, new order. Always in my heart.
Elegia for one of the greatest songwriters we have ever had . You don't need to understand it. You don't need to know where it comes from. Just accept it.
I'm sitting here choosing music for my funeral and this has to be in it... it's hard when you feel so disconnected from everything to bathe in this and know that it is so close to your soon to be destroyed life but nobody else can feel that. Human life is overrated, but sometimes these musical moments are side by side with the despair and pointlessness we feel. As we head towards the end this shows us the way and expresses our pain
@@BenniRoR because I'm tired of making a mess of everything in my life, and hurting everyone who has ever loved me. I'm just no good and I never really have been. Have blamed everyone else for my problems and mistakes when it was always just me. Now I'm alone and life has no point or meaning
Well I for one, Mark, am here to say, that, if nowt else, you express yourself rather elegantly and seem to have found an brutal, intimate honesty that is to be admired. Both, reasonable starting points from which to continue. You also have an ear for great music...
My best friend killed himself, and considering the history of this particular song, I've never found anything that so perfectly embodies the sense of mourning and grief I still feel every day.
Wait a minute... you mean to tell me that not only was Tubular Bells not originally written to be the theme song for The Exorcist, but was also written by Mike Oldfield... who wrote and performed "Nuclear" in the 2014 E3 trailer for MGSV (notable as Elegia was featured in the 2015 E3 trailer for the same game).
I didn't set any ads on any of my videos. In November 20 RUclips changed their ad policy. Every video on the platform is now required to have at least one advertisement, most of the time even two ads. Uploaders have no say in this whatsoever, not even if you are partnered, which I was a while ago. So in short, blame RUclips for the ads, not me. If I had anything to say about this I would remove all ads on my videos. But sadly I can't. Just use an adblocker, the bastards at Google don't deserve one penny of ad revenue.
Epic Song, but can be a little repetitive, So I would warn anyone to only listen to this once every so often, as I made the mistake of having it on repeat and It has taken about 2 years to like it again, but other songs which I find can relate to this, melody only epic songs: Clubbed to death The doors - Light my fire Neil young - Cowgirl in the sand / Southern Man
Come on man Light My Fire is painfully repetitive and we've all heard it a million times. You might like My Father, My King by Mogwai which probably ticks those boxes, or I Offered It Up To The Stars & The Night Sky by Dirty Three. Both bands would have lots of contenders, but those two songs are the longest ones I could think of, both are all instrumental.
I would like and respect them more if they had never done blue Monday, even they've got to be embarrassed by that steaming turd. Elegiac is very emotive and one of their finer ones !
This song is dangerously underrated, it's so beautifully put together... truly one for the history books.
I love it
Nothing to add. Perfect description. I Just add in My opinion what an influence Ennio Morricone is to this mastepiece...
Exactly! Echoes from Morricone.
Never was underrated in some circle's.
@Sergio Santini ohhh how so? Like the clock music from a few dollars more (I think that’s the second one right)
"What do you think about the new album?"
- "It terrifies me."
"Why is that?"
-"Because....i think Ian means the things he sings about."

Perfect description!
Given the subject matter of the song, the event and the person that the song is based on. You've just given a perfect analogy.
It's Peter Hook's melodic bass that I love like all of Joy Div/New Order stuff.
But Bernard's guitar from 10.00 or so is just nerve-tingling!

On its way.
subculture has to be original version, not substance version

Ian Curtis is a legend. As long as music exists, Ian will never be forgotten.
This song will always have a special place in my heart. It's the type of song that takes you away from this world.
It actually puts me right in it. That's the scary part for me.
This reminds me of Mike Oldfield a lot. Beautiful song, my favourite by New Order
It is very Mike Oldfield.
this song still makes me sob profusely every time. the emotions are just so palpable. i cant help but feel the anguish and despair.
At the age of 13, this was one of the first songs I fell in love with. Now I'm 30 and I still love this song. Just beautiful.

Currently laying here in the pouring rain listening to this never has a song fired a moment so well
Always brings me back to a really dark time of my life, but I wouldn't have it any other way. #memories
This song is so hauntingly beautiful! Reminds me of my teenage years in the 80's getting ready to go out with my friends or a date. So meloncholy😢

This was Post-Rock before Post-Rock. So, Pre-Post-Rock. I think I just hurt my brain.
I'm loving the longer version
Melvyn Bragg did a documentary about Truman Capote, I can't remember when, but this track was played and it was utterly perfect. Absolutely haunting.
Peter Hook's bass! Love it! All his music, from JD to NO to The Light to Monaco, has his melodic use of bass. brilliant.
This song makes you feel nostalgic. Like im somewhere in the 80's at a arcade hanging out with a curly haired kid in short khakis.
That sounds very familiar.
