230. New Order True Faith (1987)
non-album single

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=17CwZmI8mUQ

Key lyrics:
I feel so extraordinary
Somethings got a hold on me
I get this feeling Im in motion
A certain sense of liberty

Theres something bouncy to the percussion on this song that instantly sends me soaring as previously established, any synthpop song which does this is actually moody and introspective. Its a shame that the few dances Ive been to have been a flurry of modern pop. Even thirty years on, True Faith is the ideal club hit. Its the embarrassing truth of my life that a lot of my favorites are dance songs I will almost certainly never hear in the proper setting unless I become a DJ and force it to happen. But I digress; True Faith is a dense song made accessible through its extraordinary beat.

Bernard Sumner might just be the weakest vocalist among my favorite bands, yet that does not stop the best New Order tracks from making proper use of his limited range. His sing-song, monotonous vocals operate as yet another instrument here, adding a serene atmosphere to what could have easily been an instrumental dance track. There is a lot going on here; its hard to pick out individual parts from all the chaos. This only proves the improbable success; something this messy shouldnt come off as singular. True Faith is simply another track that always brings me joy.
