There does seem to be a feeling of unfulfilling ritual about the song. I have always liked the intensity of the music which adds depth to the lyrics. I have wondered whether Ian Curtis has been watching The Third Man before writing 'Ceremony' as I am always reminded of the long shot in the cemetary when I hear this song.
