Your silent face – Velocity Girl
Like Galaxie 500 with Ceremony, for the longest time i believed this to be an original Velocity Girl song. I’m such a dummy. Come to think of it, it does seem odd that an American band would say “Piss off.” Or at least it sounds much more appropriate coming from an English band. They released it on a 7″ with the Beach Boys’ You’re So Good To Me on the other side. Why would a band release a single only of cover songs? It was misleading. It mislead me here.
No matter how much i come around to New Order, like that Ceremony cover, it is this version that is so much more ingrained in me, much more highly held. I can imagine it sounding inferior if one was a staunch New Order fan, but it has never been anything but perfect to me. Maybe the further i go into New Order, the more of a fan i become (which will happen because they’re incredible. Give it time), this version will mean less and less to me. What a horrible thought. I want it to always be a harmonica i hear when i think of this song.
