    Lyrics:
    [Instrumental Intro]
    [Verse 1]
    How does it feel
    To treat me like you do?
    When you've laid 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 still, I 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
    [Instrumental Break]
    [Verse 2]
    I see a ship in the harbour
    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
    And I thought I heard you speak
    Tell me, how do I feel?
    Tell me now, how should I feel?
    Now I stand here waiting
    [Verse 3]
    I thought I told you to leave me
    When I walked down to the beach
    Tell me how does it feel
    When your heart grows cold
    (Grows cold, grows cold, grows cold, grows cold)
    [Instrumental Outro]

    As a club dj in the eighties, my fondest memory was the moment I could drop this masterpiece into my set. People would freak the fuck out, nearly tearing their clothes in an effort to get to the dance floor. I have never before and rarely since seen dancers experiencing such moments of total kinetic bliss. The word "floorgasm" was coined just to describe that scene. One of the highpoints of my 25+ years working as a DJ.
    P.s. It's a year since I wrote this. Just wanted to thank all those who have shared their experiences and memories of this legendary track. The stories that you've told me are as varied as they are amazing. In clubs, on the radio, in the car. It still amazes me to this day that one track could change so many lives and fill people with such joy. So thanks again.

I just used my last name, which was Summers. A few clubs, a lot of private house parties, and a ton of Sci fi and fantasy conventions. Thanks for asking. I have some great memories. A little hazy, to be sure. It was a crazy sexy decade. Lots of blow, the introduction of E, and every person under 30 partying like we weren't going to survive the millennium. But I wouldn't change anything.

I was way too close to the stage speaker stacks. To this day I get a weird rattle whenever I play that track. In hindsight, totally worth it. New Order was one of the principle reasons I became a DJ to begin with. In not sure if you know, but the 12' vinyl copy of Blue Monday is the greatest selling club cut of all time. That band changed lives, just like Joy Division before Ian's suicide.

    So you know, this video is based off of how the original single was sold.
    It was sold in a sleeve designed to look like a floppy disc, with the band and song's name printed on one edge with a colored block code. Due to the way the paper sleeves had to be made, how many colors were in the code, and the total lack of faith in this song selling any copies, it was actually sold for less than it cost to print. So, of course, it got so popular that it nearly bankrupted the printing company.
    EDIT: In case you were wondering if the code is exactly the same in this video as it is on the album, the answer is YES. The code was used by the artist Peter Saville, who used it on four albums:
    Power, Corruption and Lies; by New Order: FACT75 (also comes with decoder ring seen on this video's opening shot)
    Blue Monday; by New Order: FAC 73 BLUE MONDAY AND THE BEACH NEW ORDER
    Confusion; by New Order: FAC 93
    It was also used on the cover of From the Hip by Section 25, unfortunately, the only picture I can find of the cover is so blurry I can't actually make out the code.
    Also worth mentioning; they initially wrote this song because the band never did encores (which might explain the lyrics), and they wanted a song that they could just push a button on the synth machine and leave the audience to it. But they started having too much fun getting this weird, experimental (for the time) song to work, so they packaged it as a single, and have since become known to play this song as an encore.

    1:37: Based on the letter codes in the rest of the video, the text on the side of the floppy reads "FAC? BLUE MONDAY AND". The question mark is the fourth character from the top, which doesn't appear anywhere in the song. It should be noted that between the first space and the letter "B" there appears to be a letter that is black on the left and gray on the right, but that isn't a letter at all. It is the orientation notch of the floppy disk itself. So no letter was placed there at all.
    Throughout the song, all letters are represented except X and Z. When putting the codes next to the letters in order, a very obvious pattern emerges. The letters are encoded in base 10. A=1, B=2, C=3, and so on. The colors are:
    0=White
    1=Green
    2=Yellow
    3=Pink
    4=Orange
    5=Cyan
    6=Pink
    7=Navy Blue
    8=Magenta
    9=Blue
    For the first nine letters (A through I), they are simply solid blocks with their number's color. All subsequent letters are two rectangles, the left being the tens digit and the right being the ones digit. Example: U is the 21st letter of the alphabet, so its icon is Yellow on the left, green on the right.
    From this pattern we can deduce that, although never shown, the letter X (24th letter of the alphabet) would be yellow on the left, orange on the right. And Z (26th letter) would be yellow on the left and pink on the right.
    The mystery character is Navy Blue on the left and purple on the right, which would correspond to letter number 73 - far outside the range of possible letters. So this is either a mistake or a simple artistic choice. While the center portion of the message "BLUE MONDAY" makes perfect sense, the words before and after, "FAC?" and "AND" don't seem to make sense, even though the latter is a word.
    A final note: There is a typo in the video. At 3:06 in the line "Just how I should feel today", the "T" in "just" is represented by a solid green square (which is "A"). In all other cases, T is correctly represented as Yellow on the left, White on the right.
    And finally, the codes at the very beginning of the video read, unsurprisingly, "NEW ORDER BLUE MONDAY"
    I have a lot of free time.
    UPDATE: The record label that produced "Blue Monday" was named "Factory 73". This explains the "FAC" followed by the 73 character. The "AND" at the end is explained because the full name of the single was "BLUE MONDAY AND THE BEACH". Because it was released as a 45rpm record and the B-side was the New Order song "The Beach".

      There's actually a way to confirm you theorizing about letter X and Y. The colourful circle that's spinning along the beat basically offers all the tools you need. Starting from the big green segment and going clockwise, all 26 outer colours represent the alphabet in the correct order.

    While I walked down to the beach
    Tell me how does it feel
    When your heart grows cold?
    (Grows cold, grows cold, grows cold, grows cold)
    [Instrumental Outro]
    Blue Monday by New Order

    Happy 40th birthday Blue Monday! I was 16 when this came out, I remember when I first heard it and even what I was wearing. It's hard to describe how rad and groundbreaking this was in 1983, how hypnotic and mesmerising. It perfectly sums up that summer and still gives me chills. I thought I'd missed my chance to ever hear it live, and then, one night in 2002, as we were packing up to be ready to leave Finsbury Park, New order came on and played this, and some. It felt like healing, like reaching back in time and saying, *there you go* Magical 💙

At some point I was having a deep conversation away from the loud noise and commotion, and I remember hearing my name being screamed by so many people, and I hear someone yell Blue Mondays playing, and I have never gotten up so fast, I sprinted through the woods in the middle of the night, I ate shit on a root. Got up without hesitation and I got to that cabin, for everyone to yell at my arrival. I ate that dance floor alive.

I told him that I only wanted to be with him. He asked the dj to play theong version of this song, the dj did, then Henry asked me to dance with him. I did. We started dating but didn't do anything until I was 18.. Then we went back to the 1270 and danced to this song again. We lasted for 5 years. I still love him and this song

    the backstory of how these two artists were able to get their music sequenced using never before technology is quite amazing. Keeping in mind that this was a time well before the internet. Check it out and feel the beach.

    My older half-brother introduced this to me in 2000 when he lived with us for year while going to school. I had just started 3rd grade and this and 'you spin me right round' absolutely captured my imagination like nothing else. I'll always think back fondly on memories of hanging out with him while he plundered tunes on Napster on his at the time very fancy graphite G4 tower. Grateful for this world and the music in it, I love you Brandon.

    this tune was always with me to get me going for tomorrow during my college years; frustrated, loneliness, angry, sometimes apathetic and cynical but mindlessly busy, lost love, broken heart, boozed, hangover, My own Dark Age.

      First time I heard this song was about half an hour after being delivered. The kick drum at the opening probably has something to do with why I listen to metal.
