Song in the Key of Life

"Regret" by New Order could be my favorite song, whatever that really means. I suppose it could mean a song you could hear over and over on an endless loop and not want to completely poke your eyes out. Maybe it's the sentiment of the song, maybe it's just the flow of it... the lyrics are rubbish, as most New Order songs are, but there's something very human about them.

I remember very clearly buying the single at Tower Records one day and having it as the soundtrack while "studying" for finals in college before summer was to start... it took every bit of nerve not to leave my dorm desk and go out into the sunlight to have a hot dog in Washington Square Park, instead of staring at a Calculus book... but I did get up about five or six times for street meat anyway... and "Regret" played on.
