Details

• This song is a cover of the 1979 track New Dawn Fades by Joy Division. Moby is a life long Joy Division fan and the cover was made with the blessing of the band.
  
• An instrumental version of the song is featured in the pivotal getaway scene from the Michael Mann film Heat (1995). 
  
• John Frusciante, guitarist of the Red Hot Chilli Peppers, also has a cover version.
  
• Moby has released an acoustic version.
  
• When Moby was a teenager, Joy Division was one of his favourite bands.


• "I toured with New Order ten years ago. On the last show of the tour, we did ‘New Dawn Fades’ together, and at the end of that, Peter Hook turned to me and said, ‘You know, we haven’t played this since Ian died. When I was 15, if you had come to me and said, ‘Someday you will sing a Joy Division song with Joy Division,’ I would have believed you more if you had said at some point we’ll all live on Jupiter.’" (Moby talking to Black Book Magazine)
