"Nineteen63" or "1963" is a track by British dance/rock group New Order. It was originally released as a B-side to "True Faith" in 1987 and appeared on the Substance compilation of the same year. It was then released as a single in January 1995, in a radio mix by Arthur Baker.
"Nineteen63"'s B-sides were all remixes of the title track or songs previously released.

The original 1987 version ended in a fade-out while repeating the last line of the outro, "I will always feel for you". The "94 album mix", also included on the international edition of (The Best of) New Order as "1963-94", had all new orchestration and is similar in structure to the original version, except that the outro is removed and replaced with a repeat of the final bridge and chorus, faded out. The 1995 Arthur Baker remix restores the original outro, and, instead of fading out, has a cold ending after four repeats of the last line.
The video for the single's release, featuring the "95 Arthur Baker Radio remix", was directed by Gina Birch and produced by Michael Shamberg.[2] It depicts British comic actress Jane Horrocks waking up in a box in the countryside and hitch-hiking to the city. Jane's suitcase becomes bigger in each camera take.
