| New Order – Ceremony Lyrics | 2 years ago |
| @[rayliam:46107] your assessment is spot on from what I understand. This is all about Ian feeling conflicted about being pulled in two directions, not only with Annik and Debbie, but his two lives, one with the band and at home. Also, this is what Bernard was able to best estimate for the lyrics that Ian wrote, but some of it could be his best guess. The only Joy Division recordings that exist are one of a live show and one of a rehearsal, both of which aren't the clearest vocally. The only thing I'd like to add is that the line about the avenues all lined with trees I believe was an inside joke between Ian and Debbie about how he wanted to buy her a house on a nice avenue.
