Dreams Never End

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dreams Never End is the first track of eight on New Order's début album Movement, released on November 13 1980. After the death Joy Division singer Ian Curtis, the surviving members formed New Order with drummer Stephen Morris's girlfriend Gillian Gilbert. This led to a large dispute over who should fill Curtis's shoes with the lead vocalist role. All four members were in contention, but due to Bernard Sumner's voice being significantly different from Curtis's, New Order opted for him to take the role, wanting New Order's sound to be different from Joy Division's. Ironically with this new vocalist, the first track (Dreams Never End) on the first album recorded by New Order, Movement, is sung by bassist Peter Hook.
