This was my shower song before going to see my first love on the daily. Mixed with some Bag Raiders The Wake and Holy Ghost. Didn't hold onto her but you have your mom till the end. Appreciate those/these moments
I was living in Athens Greece when this Album came out... in the 80's.. All of the Greek Isle's nightclubs played the heck out of this album.. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!
1987 I was stationed in San Diego and used to blast this on my little car cassette player, when it first came out. Edit: I still blast it. Still sounds brand new, like the Perfect Kiss.
This song was one of many NO songs that bridged dance and alternative and made them so special. If you want to know what they were playing in the clubs it was this and it was f'ing awesome.
It's a spectacular remix. 👍 "I was there" when this was in the clubs. All music ended circa 1989, and what's good today hearkens back to the New Wave/Synth/Techno/Industrial/Dance/Goth of the 1980s.
@@MrKenBJs Well said. I hear NO, Cure, Depeche and many others in today's alternative and I love it. I only wish we had camera phones back then to capture some of my crazy club nights.
@Variable Volume saaaaame here. Mid 30s . love NO but nvr heard this til thiz past summer while at work jammin out (empty building) yet feels so nostalgic to me n reminds me of a girl i would (want) to share this tune with
.... As a field biologist, I always envisioned all of us, everyone, singing our hearts out for a little love, ..... I guess I have more critters in my backyard serenading one another than most
Discovering Joy Division and New Order was like breathing oxygen for the first time. I can't even describe what these two bands mean to me. Its like breathing.
This version, the original version of this song, is hands down my favorite. It has so much going on musically in the eight-plus minutes of the entire track.
YRICS I stood there beside myself, Thinking hard about the weather Then came by a friend of mine Suggested we go out together Then I knew it from the start: This friend of mine would fall apart Pretending not to see his gun, I said "let's go out and have some fun" I know, you know, you believe in a land of love I know, you know, we believe in a land of love I have always thought about Staying here and going out Tonight I should have stayed at home, Playing with my pleasure zone He has always been so strange, I'd often thought he was deranged Pretending not to see his gun, I said "let's go out and have some fun" I know, you know, we believe in a land of love I know, you know, we believe in a land of love When you are alone at night You search yourself for all the things That you believe are right If you give it all away You throw away your only chance to be here today Then a fight breaks out on your street You lose another broken heart in a land of meat My friend, he took his final breath Now I know the perfect kiss is the kiss of death 4
I FUCKING LOVE THIS SONG, ALWAYS HAVE!!! I mean the first min of this song is just mind blowing! Start with some jungle like beats then go into a drum beat then an bass guitar riff, then a hard dance beat followed by an awesome synth riff then into the actual song....I mean the genius that these guys and girl had at that age, WOW!!!!!! AND who, WHO has ever sampled Frogs in a mix????? Genius!
@DAVID MARTINEZ >> YA ABOUT DEM FROGS. IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN, I BELIEVE THOSE R THE SAME FROGS ..THAT WERE CAST 4 THOSE 90"S BUDWEISER COMMERCIALS.. KERMIT & HIS FAMILY JUST DIDN'T CUT IT AT THE TIME !!!
Glad you finally discovered some great 80's music . But there's much more there than New Order . Some bands you might enjoy ; Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark , The Ocean Blue , Depeche Mode , A Flock,of Seagulls , the first 2 albums by REM (Murmur , The Reckoning) , The Smiths...too numerous to mention them all . Good luck and much enjoyment in your exploration .
Agreed! I have a playlist of songs with great outros I've titled "Epic Endings". This extended version is on it. Others include "Instant Street" (dEUs), "Comforting Sounds" (Mew), "Ceasefire" (Carter USM), "Happy Home" (Garbage), "Church Not Made with Hands" (The Waterboys), "Seize the Day (Liberty 37), "Love Me Madly Again" (Bryan Ferry), "Sleepless" (Cradle of Filth) amongst others, including live versions of some songs.
I agree with you so much. I have never knew someone who voiced the same thought about this as I do. I remember driving at night into Montreal in 1988 from a long trip to this, it was almost poetic with the lights of the city and the pulse of the city
When I was first listening to New Order, I heard the shorter version first before I eventually heard the longer version. At first I didn't like it hearing it the first time but now I love it so much
Heard this version at the 930 club in Washington DC. We went out and had some fun! The shorter version should be buried. The Dynamic music video which the late Jonathan Demme directed is also the long version and Live!!!🤗🤗🤗
Football focus used this for a promo for the 86 world cup ....it was awesome ! ....a pre cursor to "world in motion "😊 Takes me back to those golden early days of Rave.
Love new order one of England 🇬🇧 best bands grew up in the 80s there music 🎶 was always on TV 📺 ❤ them 👍🏼 play there music always x thanks New order for all memories 80s were best decade for music ❤❤! Xx
not all that glitters is gold ... but sometimes when I listen to songs like this, with so many layers stacked on top of each other, I can't help but wish to be part of creative processes like these
My fave New Order song above 40 other beloved NO songs, especially the Substance mix. I think of this song paired with Pet Shop Boys’ Suburbia. Frogs vs. Dogs.
Peter hook on bass and frog sound. Master at his craft! Infact all were brilliant and like in a trance during the filming of the video. Directed by Jonathan Demme, Director of Silence of the lambs and Philadelphia.
Happy Birthday G! When I hear this it's all i can do is to think about you. I only have fond memories of you when I hear this song. The tingles move up and down my spine. Just so you know i'm making the same kind of memories with vincent as you did with me. This life is so bittersweet but mostly sweet. Until we meet again! Love you dad.
In 1985, you would not really fancy loads of Brummie and Manc lads in the same room, the Tower Ballroom, Edgbaston, no problems, the power of New Order!
ESTE GRUPO ME MOLA MUCHO Y ME RECUERDA VIEJOS Y BUENOS TIEMPOS QUE CONUN POCO DE SUERTE,VOLVERE A PINCHAR MUY PRONTO PARA TODO-A AQUEL QUE LOQUIERA BAILAR Y DISFRUTAR.SEE YOU!!LATER!!!
I remember hearing this for the first time in 1987 on the album after 'True Faith' was released. Not really heard any NO stuff other than Blue Monday (which I didn't like) I was reading 'The Mote in God's Eye' when this was on - life memory! Shellshock was also a revelation

That's awesome!!

Take mom to a show ASAP
You leave the dream 😊😊
Is she hot?
I was living in Athens Greece when this Album came out... in the 80's..
All of the Greek Isle's nightclubs played the heck out of this album.. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!
To me, this album and single was their last great hurrah.
A masterpiece by a genius band. Still my fave New Order song
Agreed. My favorite too.
Mine too, especially the Substance mix.
Agree but blue monday is a masterpiece song too!!!
From 6 mins onwards I genuinely do not think there is a better piece of music ever written. Pure 80s magic!
agreed! fab tune to drive to
I had this CD on as a 16 year old on a school trip, while everybody else had on Rick Astley. .. I'm the weird one with no musical taste?.

Now I’m listen the music is great 👍 is good super good
You are so right, I was there too.
Hell Yeah❤
This song helped me through some rough times... not recognized enough as the classic tune it should be.
Facts
@Variable Volume saaaaame here. Mid 30s . love NO but nvr heard this til thiz past summer while at work jammin out (empty building) yet feels so nostalgic to me n reminds me of a girl i would (want) to share this tune with
This song was 18 years old for me. 24 now. Skateboarding and falling in love with this as my backtrack...good times for me dude
Completely Agree. It's a staple.
That underlying frog croak suggests a perfect kiss will turn him into a prince charming..
WOW! I never thought of that, thanks dude!
Ask Gillian, she probably composed that part of this GREAT SONG.😉👍🏽😸
Quinn W. Johnson if was Stephen who did and he confirmed it on Twitter
Peter hook at it's finest!
.... As a field biologist, I always envisioned all of us, everyone, singing our hearts out for a little love, .....
I guess I have more critters in my backyard serenading one another than most
4:58-5:43 has a magical quality to it that sets this song apart. Beautiful.
I remember buying this on vinyl,what an album,a masterpiece.
Discovering Joy Division and New Order was like breathing oxygen for the first time.
I can't even describe what these two bands mean to me. Its like breathing.
Where you been? Nothing like the 80s. Never to late Welcome! 👍
*Do you think you have slightly overstated and engaged in hyperbole, by any chance?* 😆
How do somebody even knows how its to breathe for the first time, tf kind of analogy is this?
Damn I Love love the 80,s my favorite band . I grow up in the 80s
Each to their own but I can’t imagine I will ever hear a better piece of music
Don't forget the video!!!
😎 Thanks.! Take care.
The most perfect bass and synths ever!!
6:48 !
definitely
Really my friend. The best bass I felt
Train journeys to London with this on a Walkman😀
Can you name the three artists?
the most perfect version ever
The best version eveeerrrrr
This version, the original version of this song, is hands down my favorite. It has so much going on musically in the eight-plus minutes of the entire track.
YRICS
I stood there beside myself,
Thinking hard about the weather
Then came by a friend of mine
Suggested we go out together
Then I knew it from the start:
This friend of mine would fall apart
Pretending not to see his gun,
I said "let's go out and have some fun"
I know, you know, you believe in a land of love
I know, you know, we believe in a land of love
I have always thought about
Staying here and going out
Tonight I should have stayed at home,
Playing with my pleasure zone
He has always been so strange,
I'd often thought he was deranged
Pretending not to see his gun,
I said "let's go out and have some fun"
I know, you know, we believe in a land of love
I know, you know, we believe in a land of love
When you are alone at night
You search yourself for all the things
That you believe are right
If you give it all away
You throw away your only chance to be here today
Then a fight breaks out on your street
You lose another broken heart in a land of meat
My friend, he took his final breath
Now I know the perfect kiss is the kiss of death

I think Freur may have done it in their song "Doot Doot" from 1984.
wow I got aware of this group just today
starting 2022 with an incredible inspiration from the genius 80's band

That little "wooooowwwww" at the end!!!
At 5:57 the song rises to a crescendo in an epic, breathtaking, monumental finale. New Order's masterpiece.
it's orgasmic! have you ever seen them like, they do an entire concert like that

@@dickiefears5832 May I suggest The Start of the Breakdown by Tears for Fears as well? I love the way that song goes out. So melancholy.
Agree totally. This song was a staple back in the day in Orlando and when this part would start the energy on the dance floor changed. It was amazing.
EPIC!!!!!
パーフェクトキッス最高❤❤❤❤❤❤
My most favourite song of the 80s.
Awesome song, I prefer this version than the radio edit! More feeling into the beat of this version! Love the video of this song!
This is one of the best Album of New Order Substance 87 by far
I love how ethreal and intense the synth gets after that amazing bass solo at the end
This song is timeless.
Such an electrifying beauty! Thanks Universe for these masterpieces!!!!
When you have a song that moves you then you want to analyze how it moved you and why - that's a brilliance that does not exist any more.
6:13 the most epic outro song I've heard
I agree with you so much. I have never knew someone who voiced the same thought about this as I do. I remember driving at night into Montreal in 1988 from a long trip to this, it was almost poetic with the lights of the city and the pulse of the city
Sergio De cristofaro Totally agree. I’m at the gym and that part of the song gives me energy to keep gettin swole!
James McGraw boomer
Bought the album..Cassette format..1987....this tune lives with me forever
Unfortunately this version isn't on ITunes that I can find ..as you said the outro makes it , can't find a version with it.
Obra prima, tempo bom que não volta. 🎸🎧
When I was first listening to New Order, I heard the shorter version first before I eventually heard the longer version. At first I didn't like it hearing it the first time but now I love it so much

Sounds like Silver and gold! First time hearing this one!
When hook was happy to be in NEW ORDER great song one of their best brilliant synths from gillian and stephen and incredible bassline of course!!!
The Perfect Kiss is the kiss of death. Means so much to me.
How edgy
@@paisley5793 shut up stupid child
Shut up, insignificant speck.
Paisley Cynically telling someone they’re edgy for liking lyrics from a 35 year old song is ironically pretty edgy.
Football focus used this for a promo for the 86 world cup ....it was awesome ! ....a pre cursor to "world in motion "😊 Takes me back to those golden early days of Rave.
I'm dancing to the greatest music ever made.
Love new order one of England 🇬🇧 best bands grew up in the 80s there music 🎶 was always on TV 📺 ❤ them 👍🏼 play there music always x thanks New order for all memories 80s were best decade for music ❤❤! Xx
A freakin masterpiece
The best of the best... They have been with me for over 30 years and I want Perfect Kiss on the day of my funeral.
One of my favourite tracks from the 80s.I have this double vinyl album.In great condition.😊
not all that glitters is gold ... but sometimes when I listen to songs like this, with so many layers stacked on top of each other, I can't help but wish to be part of creative processes like these
What a jam! Love it.
Sigue conmoviendo desde principio al final..... Épica!
This is a synthgasm
My fave New Order song above 40 other beloved NO songs, especially the Substance mix. I think of this song paired with Pet Shop Boys’ Suburbia. Frogs vs. Dogs.
Wish this version was on streaming services, one of my favorite riffs all time
Not on Spotify sadly 😭 I don't even recall if this was on Amazon music
It's available on Spotify, at last!
bass and synths are as top notch as you can get
that's new order :D
Peter hook on bass and frog sound. Master at his craft! Infact all were brilliant and like in a trance during the filming of the video. Directed by Jonathan Demme, Director of Silence of the lambs and Philadelphia.
The perfect Kiss, simplesmente a melhor!!
eu nem conheci
só achei por causa do canal shop tour
o cara só colocava intro foda
n vivi nos anos 80
mas so tinha música foda
That frog noise mix is awesome! :D
🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸
More frogs!!!
“Pretending not to see his gun, I said ‘let’s go out and have some fun’”
unbelievable that an ad is placed at the peak of this song, what Philistine allowed this!
Perfect intro, it makes me feel so good...
✨Everyone had this on cassette for the car, or album in the late '80's.✨And they played it in the dance clubs.✨💫🎶🌌🌊🐬💙
Same here, Christ, what a tune 👍👍👍👍, Pure suede head,👍👍👍
So good. This song is the best of them!
Que viagem esse som do New Order👏👏
Bad ass song back in the day and today
Happy Birthday G! When I hear this it's all i can do is to think about you. I only have fond memories of you when I hear this song. The tingles move up and down my spine. Just so you know i'm making the same kind of memories with vincent as you did with me. This life is so bittersweet but mostly sweet. Until we meet again! Love you dad.
The last 3:00 or so are epic. So many memories. Some of them very hazy. Lol
I remember blasting this in my XR3 full blast,unreal,goosebumps listening to this.
All those frogs waiting for the perfect kiss to turn them into a prince!
a song bigger than life
Melhor banda dos ano 80
Love Love Love this, I get lost in it!
The definition of timeless music
Every time is Perfect 👌
1989 MESMERIZING!!!! 1999 MESMERIZING!!!! 2009 MESMERIZING!!!! 2019 MESMERIZING!!!! 3019 MESMERIZING!!!! TIMELESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well Said!!!🤙🏾😎
It makes my hair stand up
In 1985, you would not really fancy loads of Brummie and Manc lads in the same room, the Tower Ballroom, Edgbaston, no problems, the power of New Order!
Great band thanks for my memories
Christ, not heard this since the late 80s and it was like I just heard it yesterday.
THE BEST TUNE EVER MADE FROM N.O.
The perfect syntho participators ever...🔥

Great song 👍
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
love new order. perfect kiss.
There's a slightly longer version on the vinyl release of Substance (which from memory contained A-sides only).
I remember hearing this for the first time in 1987 on the album after 'True Faith' was released. Not really heard any NO stuff other than Blue Monday (which I didn't like) I was reading 'The Mote in God's Eye' when this was on - life memory! Shellshock was also a revelation
LOUDER!!!
I never stopped listening to this album since hearing it off Campus at Arizona State. It was at Utopia.
Amo demais isso
Eu também.
Perfection!
Seriously yt you gonna show me a tiktok ad in the middle of this song.
If this music doesn't make you get up and dance, then I'm sorry but you are dead inside..
i love the instrumental part at the end
University...it just all came flooding back!! WOW!!
Great album
those last two minutes, holy crow
Indeed.

Demais muito bom
