"Blue Monday" is a song by the British rock band New Order. It was released as a 12-inch single on 7 March 1983 through Factory Records. It appears on certain cassette and CD versions of New Order's second studio album, Power, Corruption & Lies (1983).[1] The track was written and produced by Gillian Gilbert, Peter Hook, Stephen Morris and Bernard Sumner.

[...]

New Order wrote "Blue Monday" in their rehearsal room in Cheetham Hill, Manchester.[9] The synth bassline was performed on a Moog Source and sequenced on a sequencer built by the singer, Bernard Sumner.[10] A Oberheim DMX drum machine was used for rhythm.[10] The kick drum was recorded playing through a studio monitor to capture the room's natural reverb.[11] New Order bought an early sampler, the Emulator 1, and sampled choir sounds from Kraftwerk's "Uranium".[12][13] Sumner and the drummer, Stephen Morris, learnt how to use the sampler by spending hours recording their flatulence.[13]

[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]

It is a legend... I love the story about Factory Records losing money on every 12" sale due to the cost of the sleeve design...
