New Order - Love Vigilantes

I listened to this song a lot after 9/11. The combination of the upbeat music with the heaviness of the lyrics has always astounded me. Like many New Yorkers, I felt on the evening of 9/11 as on the edge of an abyss; a changed world; an unknown future and more than anything the terrifying promise of war - with what? Against whom? 10 years later, and here we are, partially healed but still in this strange and horrific war. This song resonates with me every time I hear it.
