About This Track

“Ceremony” was one of the last Joy Division songs to be composed, with lyrics written by Ian Curtis. There are three recorded versions by Joy Division in existence. The first is a live version, available on the Still album, from their final concert at High Hall, Birmingham University on 2 May 1980, sixteen days before Curtis’ suicide. The second, available on the Heart and Soul four-disc box set is from a rehearsal tape made in April/May 1980. The third is a version recorded at the soundcheck on the afternoon of 2 May 1980 (along with “Decades”) and is only available on bootleg. In all recordings, the vocals are only partially audible.

    I've been calling this my favorite track of all time forever. My favorite track of all time. [2] I usually sense a strange fear that the song will end in the last 10 seconds of the Still version so i have to listen to it on repeat - over and over again

    early new order recordings of this are better for me, especially with the lyric change to 'where did he go?' in relation to ian

    The Still version gives me goosebumps... Ian sounds so frantic and desperate.
