This was my shower song before going to see my first love on the daily. Mixed with some Bag Raiders The Wake and Holy Ghost. Didn't hold onto her but you have your mom till the end. Appreciate those/these moments
Discovering Joy Division and New Order was like breathing oxygen for the first time. I can't even describe what these two bands mean to me. Its like breathing.
1987 I was stationed in San Diego and used to blast this on my little car cassette player, when it first came out. Edit: I still blast it. Still sounds brand new, like the Perfect Kiss.
Agreed! I have a playlist of songs with great outros I've titled "Epic Endings". This extended version is on it. Others include "Instant Street" (dEUs), "Comforting Sounds" (Mew), "Ceasefire" (Carter USM), "Happy Home" (Garbage), "Church Not Made with Hands" (The Waterboys), "Seize the Day (Liberty 37), "Love Me Madly Again" (Bryan Ferry), "Sleepless" (Cradle of Filth) amongst others, including live versions of some songs.
This song was one of many NO songs that bridged dance and alternative and made them so special. If you want to know what they were playing in the clubs it was this and it was f'ing awesome.
It's a spectacular remix. 👍 "I was there" when this was in the clubs. All music ended circa 1989, and what's good today hearkens back to the New Wave/Synth/Techno/Industrial/Dance/Goth of the 1980s.
@@MrKenBJs Well said. I hear NO, Cure, Depeche and many others in today's alternative and I love it. I only wish we had camera phones back then to capture some of my crazy club nights.
I was living in Athens Greece when this Album came out... in the 80's.. All of the Greek Isle's nightclubs played the heck out of this album.. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!
@Variable Volume saaaaame here. Mid 30s . love NO but nvr heard this til thiz past summer while at work jammin out (empty building) yet feels so nostalgic to me n reminds me of a girl i would (want) to share this tune with
.... As a field biologist, I always envisioned all of us, everyone, singing our hearts out for a little love, ..... I guess I have more critters in my backyard serenading one another than most
Glad you finally discovered some great 80's music . But there's much more there than New Order . Some bands you might enjoy ; Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark , The Ocean Blue , Depeche Mode , A Flock,of Seagulls , the first 2 albums by REM (Murmur , The Reckoning) , The Smiths...too numerous to mention them all . Good luck and much enjoyment in your exploration .
not all that glitters is gold ... but sometimes when I listen to songs like this, with so many layers stacked on top of each other, I can't help but wish to be part of creative processes like these
YRICS I stood there beside myself, Thinking hard about the weather Then came by a friend of mine Suggested we go out together Then I knew it from the start: This friend of mine would fall apart Pretending not to see his gun, I said "let's go out and have some fun" I know, you know, you believe in a land of love I know, you know, we believe in a land of love I have always thought about Staying here and going out Tonight I should have stayed at home, Playing with my pleasure zone He has always been so strange, I'd often thought he was deranged Pretending not to see his gun, I said "let's go out and have some fun" I know, you know, we believe in a land of love I know, you know, we believe in a land of love When you are alone at night You search yourself for all the things That you believe are right If you give it all away You throw away your only chance to be here today Then a fight breaks out on your street You lose another broken heart in a land of meat My friend, he took his final breath Now I know the perfect kiss is the kiss of death 4
This version, the original version of this song, is hands down my favorite. It has so much going on musically in the eight-plus minutes of the entire track.
I FUCKING LOVE THIS SONG, ALWAYS HAVE!!! I mean the first min of this song is just mind blowing! Start with some jungle like beats then go into a drum beat then an bass guitar riff, then a hard dance beat followed by an awesome synth riff then into the actual song....I mean the genius that these guys and girl had at that age, WOW!!!!!! AND who, WHO has ever sampled Frogs in a mix????? Genius!
@DAVID MARTINEZ >> YA ABOUT DEM FROGS. IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, I BELIEVE THOSE R THE SAME FROGS ..THAT WERE CAST 4 THOSE 90"S BUDWEISER COMMERCIALS.. KERMIT & HIS FAMILY JUST DIDN'T CUT IT AT THE TIME !!!
The soundtrack to my late 90’s teenage Jersey Shore adventures! Thanks to my older siblings, turned my friends on to them! You’re welcome New Order! Love ya!
I agree with you so much. I have never knew someone who voiced the same thought about this as I do. I remember driving at night into Montreal in 1988 from a long trip to this, it was almost poetic with the lights of the city and the pulse of the city
When I was first listening to New Order, I heard the shorter version first before I eventually heard the longer version. At first I didn't like it hearing it the first time but now I love it so much
Heard this version at the 930 club in Washington DC. We went out and had some fun! The shorter version should be buried. The Dynamic music video which the late Jonathan Demme directed is also the long version and Live!!!🤗🤗🤗
Football focus used this for a promo for the 86 world cup ....it was awesome ! ....a pre cursor to "world in motion "😊 Takes me back to those golden early days of Rave.
My fave New Order song above 40 other beloved NO songs, especially the Substance mix. I think of this song paired with Pet Shop Boys’ Suburbia. Frogs vs. Dogs.
Peter hook on bass and frog sound. Master at his craft! Infact all were brilliant and like in a trance during the filming of the video. Directed by Jonathan Demme, Director of Silence of the lambs and Philadelphia.
Love new order one of England 🇬🇧 best bands grew up in the 80s there music 🎶 was always on TV 📺 ❤ them 👍🏼 play there music always x thanks New order for all memories 80s were best decade for music ❤❤! Xx
I remember when I had the Substance album on cassette. I was a senior in college. I can’t believe it’s been so long ago. It’s such a cliche, but time really goes by in a flash….
Happy Birthday G! When I hear this it's all i can do is to think about you. I only have fond memories of you when I hear this song. The tingles move up and down my spine. Just so you know i'm making the same kind of memories with vincent as you did with me. This life is so bittersweet but mostly sweet. Until we meet again! Love you dad.
In 1985, you would not really fancy loads of Brummie and Manc lads in the same room, the Tower Ballroom, Edgbaston, no problems, the power of New Order!
I remember hearing this for the first time in 1987 on the album after 'True Faith' was released. Not really heard any NO stuff other than Blue Monday (which I didn't like) I was reading 'The Mote in God's Eye' when this was on - life memory! Shellshock was also a revelation
ESTE GRUPO ME MOLA MUCHO Y ME RECUERDA VIEJOS Y BUENOS TIEMPOS QUE CONUN POCO DE SUERTE,VOLVERE A PINCHAR MUY PRONTO PARA TODO-A AQUEL QUE LOQUIERA BAILAR Y DISFRUTAR.SEE YOU!!LATER!!!
I dont know if they go on intern troubles because they lost their success or they loose success with their troubles, but at that time their alchemy was reeeal good working and..what a band! all my youth was in there!

From 6 mins onwards I genuinely do not think there is a better piece of music ever written. Pure 80s magic!
agreed! fab tune to drive to
I had this CD on as a 16 year old on a school trip, while everybody else had on Rick Astley. .. I'm the weird one with no musical taste?.
Totally agree.. so disappointing when this song came on the radio and it would end before the 2 min outro.. its the best part!
A masterpiece by a genius band. Still my fave New Order song
Agreed. My favorite too.
Mine too, especially the Substance mix.
Agree but blue monday is a masterpiece song too!!!
my mom loves new order and i really enjoy listening to music like this with her 💖 she means so much to me
That's awesome!!
This was my shower song before going to see my first love on the daily. Mixed with some Bag Raiders The Wake and Holy Ghost. Didn't hold onto her but you have your mom till the end. Appreciate those/these moments
Take mom to a show ASAP
You leave the dream 😊😊
Is she hot?
Discovering Joy Division and New Order was like breathing oxygen for the first time.
I can't even describe what these two bands mean to me. Its like breathing.
Where you been? Nothing like the 80s. Never to late Welcome! 👍
*Do you think you have slightly overstated and engaged in hyperbole, by any chance?* 😆
How do somebody even knows how its to breathe for the first time, tf kind of analogy is this?
1987 I was stationed in San Diego and used to blast this on my little car cassette player, when it first came out. Edit: I still blast it. Still sounds brand new, like the Perfect Kiss.
At 5:57 the song rises to a crescendo in an epic, breathtaking, monumental finale. New Order's masterpiece.
it's orgasmic! have you ever seen them like, they do an entire concert like that
Agreed! I have a playlist of songs with great outros I've titled "Epic Endings". This extended version is on it. Others include "Instant Street" (dEUs), "Comforting Sounds" (Mew), "Ceasefire" (Carter USM), "Happy Home" (Garbage), "Church Not Made with Hands" (The Waterboys), "Seize the Day (Liberty 37), "Love Me Madly Again" (Bryan Ferry), "Sleepless" (Cradle of Filth) amongst others, including live versions of some songs.
@@dickiefears5832 May I suggest The Start of the Breakdown by Tears for Fears as well? I love the way that song goes out. So melancholy.
Agree totally. This song was a staple back in the day in Orlando and when this part would start the energy on the dance floor changed. It was amazing.
EPIC!!!!!
This song was one of many NO songs that bridged dance and alternative and made them so special. If you want to know what they were playing in the clubs it was this and it was f'ing awesome.

Now I’m listen the music is great 👍 is good super good
You are so right, I was there too.
Hell Yeah❤
That little "wooooowwwww" at the end!!!
I was living in Athens Greece when this Album came out... in the 80's..
All of the Greek Isle's nightclubs played the heck out of this album.. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!
To me, this album and single was their last great hurrah.
When you have a song that moves you then you want to analyze how it moved you and why - that's a brilliance that does not exist any more.
This song helped me through some rough times... not recognized enough as the classic tune it should be.
Facts
@Variable Volume saaaaame here. Mid 30s . love NO but nvr heard this til thiz past summer while at work jammin out (empty building) yet feels so nostalgic to me n reminds me of a girl i would (want) to share this tune with
This song was 18 years old for me. 24 now. Skateboarding and falling in love with this as my backtrack...good times for me dude
Completely Agree. It's a staple.
“Pretending not to see his gun, I said ‘let’s go out and have some fun’”
That underlying frog croak suggests a perfect kiss will turn him into a prince charming..
WOW! I never thought of that, thanks dude!
Ask Gillian, she probably composed that part of this GREAT SONG.😉👍🏽😸
Quinn W. Johnson if was Stephen who did and he confirmed it on Twitter
Peter hook at it's finest!
.... As a field biologist, I always envisioned all of us, everyone, singing our hearts out for a little love, .....
I guess I have more critters in my backyard serenading one another than most
4:58-5:43 has a magical quality to it that sets this song apart. Beautiful.
I remember buying this on vinyl,what an album,a masterpiece.
wow I got aware of this group just today
starting 2022 with an incredible inspiration from the genius 80's band

YRICS
I stood there beside myself,
Thinking hard about the weather
Then came by a friend of mine
Suggested we go out together
Then I knew it from the start:
This friend of mine would fall apart
Pretending not to see his gun,
I said "let's go out and have some fun"
I know, you know, you believe in a land of love
I know, you know, we believe in a land of love
I have always thought about
Staying here and going out
Tonight I should have stayed at home,
Playing with my pleasure zone
He has always been so strange,
I'd often thought he was deranged
Pretending not to see his gun,
I said "let's go out and have some fun"
I know, you know, we believe in a land of love
I know, you know, we believe in a land of love
When you are alone at night
You search yourself for all the things
That you believe are right
If you give it all away
You throw away your only chance to be here today
Then a fight breaks out on your street
You lose another broken heart in a land of meat
My friend, he took his final breath
Now I know the perfect kiss is the kiss of death
4
The most perfect bass and synths ever!!
6:48 !
definitely
Really my friend. The best bass I felt
Train journeys to London with this on a Walkman😀
Can you name the three artists?
Damn I Love love the 80,s my favorite band . I grow up in the 80s
This song is a masterpiece, and will always remind me of the girl who got away.
the most perfect version ever
The best version eveeerrrrr
This version, the original version of this song, is hands down my favorite. It has so much going on musically in the eight-plus minutes of the entire track.
パーフェクトキッス最高❤❤❤❤❤❤
Sounds like Silver and gold! First time hearing this one!
Each to their own but I can’t imagine I will ever hear a better piece of music
Don't forget the video!!!
😎 Thanks.! Take care.
I love how ethreal and intense the synth gets after that amazing bass solo at the end
I FUCKING LOVE THIS SONG, ALWAYS HAVE!!! I mean the first min of this song is just mind blowing! Start with some jungle like beats then go into a drum beat then an bass guitar riff, then a hard dance beat followed by an awesome synth riff then into the actual song....I mean the genius that these guys and girl had at that age, WOW!!!!!!

I think Freur may have done it in their song "Doot Doot" from 1984.
This song is timeless.
The soundtrack to my late 90’s teenage Jersey Shore adventures! Thanks to my older siblings, turned my friends on to them! You’re welcome New Order! Love ya!
This is one of the best Album of New Order Substance 87 by far
Sigue conmoviendo desde principio al final..... Épica!
The best of the best... They have been with me for over 30 years and I want Perfect Kiss on the day of my funeral.
My most favourite song of the 80s.
6:13 the most epic outro song I've heard
I agree with you so much. I have never knew someone who voiced the same thought about this as I do. I remember driving at night into Montreal in 1988 from a long trip to this, it was almost poetic with the lights of the city and the pulse of the city
Sergio De cristofaro Totally agree. I’m at the gym and that part of the song gives me energy to keep gettin swole!
James McGraw boomer
Bought the album..Cassette format..1987....this tune lives with me forever
Unfortunately this version isn't on ITunes that I can find ..as you said the outro makes it , can't find a version with it.
Such an electrifying beauty! Thanks Universe for these masterpieces!!!!
When I was first listening to New Order, I heard the shorter version first before I eventually heard the longer version. At first I didn't like it hearing it the first time but now I love it so much
Heard this version at the 930 club in Washington DC. We went out and had some fun! The shorter version should be buried. The Dynamic music video which the late Jonathan Demme directed is also the long version and Live!!!🤗🤗🤗
When hook was happy to be in NEW ORDER great song one of their best brilliant synths from gillian and stephen and incredible bassline of course!!!
Football focus used this for a promo for the 86 world cup ....it was awesome ! ....a pre cursor to "world in motion "😊 Takes me back to those golden early days of Rave.
Remember rockin out to this song on the dance floors with my best friends in high school the eighties were such good times
Awesome song, I prefer this version than the radio edit! More feeling into the beat of this version! Love the video of this song!
The Perfect Kiss is the kiss of death. Means so much to me.
How edgy
@@paisley5793 shut up stupid child
Shut up, insignificant speck.
Paisley Cynically telling someone they’re edgy for liking lyrics from a 35 year old song is ironically pretty edgy.
Wish this version was on streaming services, one of my favorite riffs all time
Not on Spotify sadly 😭 I don't even recall if this was on Amazon music
It's available on Spotify, at last!
I'm dancing to the greatest music ever made.
Obra prima, tempo bom que não volta. 🎸🎧
unbelievable that an ad is placed at the peak of this song, what Philistine allowed this!
My fave New Order song above 40 other beloved NO songs, especially the Substance mix. I think of this song paired with Pet Shop Boys’ Suburbia. Frogs vs. Dogs.
✨Everyone had this on cassette for the car, or album in the late '80's.✨And they played it in the dance clubs.✨💫🎶🌌🌊🐬💙
Peter hook on bass and frog sound. Master at his craft! Infact all were brilliant and like in a trance during the filming of the video. Directed by Jonathan Demme, Director of Silence of the lambs and Philadelphia.
A true classic song & album but never a more appropriate name for the album
One of my favourite tracks from the 80s.I have this double vinyl album.In great condition.😊
A freakin masterpiece
bass and synths are as top notch as you can get
that's new order :D
Love new order one of England 🇬🇧 best bands grew up in the 80s there music 🎶 was always on TV 📺 ❤ them 👍🏼 play there music always x thanks New order for all memories 80s were best decade for music ❤❤! Xx

That frog noise mix is awesome! :D
🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸
More frogs!!!
All those frogs waiting for the perfect kiss to turn them into a prince!
The perfect Kiss, simplesmente a melhor!!
eu nem conheci
só achei por causa do canal shop tour
o cara só colocava intro foda
n vivi nos anos 80
mas so tinha música foda
Bad ass song back in the day and today
This is a synthgasm
The definition of timeless music
Perfect intro, it makes me feel so good...
The last 3:00 or so are epic. So many memories. Some of them very hazy. Lol
I remember blasting this in my XR3 full blast,unreal,goosebumps listening to this.
In 1985, you would not really fancy loads of Brummie and Manc lads in the same room, the Tower Ballroom, Edgbaston, no problems, the power of New Order!
So good. This song is the best of them!
a song bigger than life
What a jam! Love it.
1989 MESMERIZING!!!! 1999 MESMERIZING!!!! 2009 MESMERIZING!!!! 2019 MESMERIZING!!!! 3019 MESMERIZING!!!! TIMELESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well Said!!!🤙🏾😎
Christ, not heard this since the late 80s and it was like I just heard it yesterday.
"I should've stayed at home, play with my pleasure zone"... said every teenager at some point.
If this music doesn't make you get up and dance, then I'm sorry but you are dead inside..
Seriously yt you gonna show me a tiktok ad in the middle of this song.
Que viagem esse som do New Order👏👏
There's a slightly longer version on the vinyl release of Substance (which from memory contained A-sides only).
Melhor banda dos ano 80
Love Love Love this, I get lost in it!
It makes my hair stand up
the final boss of synth pop
Every time is Perfect 👌
those last two minutes, holy crow
Indeed.
THE BEST TUNE EVER MADE FROM N.O.
I never stopped listening to this album since hearing it off Campus at Arizona State. It was at Utopia.
I remember hearing this for the first time in 1987 on the album after 'True Faith' was released. Not really heard any NO stuff other than Blue Monday (which I didn't like) I was reading 'The Mote in God's Eye' when this was on - life memory! Shellshock was also a revelation
Same here, Christ, what a tune 👍👍👍👍, Pure suede head,👍👍👍
The perfect syntho participators ever...🔥
The perfect kiss is the kiss of death.
Truer words were never spoken.
Tell that to Kylo Ren after Rey kissed him lol
"Let's go out and have some fun"
Covid19
jajajja
dont...oh please.irony hurts
Even more appropriately,
"Pretending not to see his gun
I said let's go out and have some fun."
Covid can eff right off or I'll punch its lights out.👍
@@lee-annkenyon4748 those lyrics you quote link into 1963. 👍
Those synths are still so epic 😊
Great band thanks for my memories
the best song of new order
i love the instrumental part at the end
University...it just all came flooding back!! WOW!!
ESTE GRUPO ME MOLA MUCHO Y ME RECUERDA VIEJOS Y BUENOS TIEMPOS QUE CONUN POCO DE SUERTE,VOLVERE A PINCHAR MUY PRONTO PARA TODO-A AQUEL QUE LOQUIERA BAILAR Y DISFRUTAR.SEE YOU!!LATER!!!
A time when musicians were indeed..., musicians.
I love frogs talking from 5m15 to 5m40
Demais ...perfect kiss...perfect music!!!!
I dont know if they go on intern troubles because they lost their success or they loose success with their troubles, but at that time their alchemy was reeeal good working and..what a band! all my youth was in there!
New Order knows their way around an arpeggio
got me through online school.
LOUDER!!!
