Love this video, my favorite! His balloon under his Fathers and Mothers umbrellas, parents. Then under the nuns umbrella, religion. Then policemen on horses, law and order. Then his umbrella going to the little girl and hers doing the same, relationships. Then the balloons (our souls) flying away losing our childhood. Then the end, all of the balloons taking him away. Life!

What a great riff standing proud on a killer song.

Can any fan imagine how great, relevant and all-time joy division would have been had ian decided to live... just look at how their song writing abilities increased in early 1980.. i.e. the last 2 singles.. atmosphere & love will tear us apart.. then their next single would have been this...

Greatest song of all time. I’ve lost it to this and always almost do . We love you, Ian. I start crying when I go to write “watching love grow”

Listen to the single verse that is audible on the Joy Division version done live at Birmingham University (from "Still") and tell me if you feel the same way. I think the singing has got much more passion, and that it would've been a much better song with Ian Curtis singing it. Not to knock New Order, I'm a fan, but for this song in particular I can't agree that this is the perfect rendition.

I think the balloons represent the heart / joy of one’s life and sometimes others wish to take that joy from us. Is best if we let it go when we need to move on, because that joy will always comes back as it is shared with others.

wow.... This is a powerful lyric video. The choice of Red Balloon for the footage fits Ceremony like a glove. You have my respect and my congratulations for creating a stupefying masterpiece. Brava!

Esse vídeo inspirou um padre aqui do Brasil ...

Minha primeira experiência com Ceremony foi ouvindo Substance do New Order em 1988 e para dizer a verdade não gostei da música. Quando ouvi o Still do Joy Division em 1990 tudo isso mudou. Essa música além de se tornar uma das minhas favoritas fez com que o Joy também se tornasse minha banda favorita. A força dessa música é incrível realmente e com os 4 membros do Joy Division tocando é diferente.

@eduardolucio8451

eu também conheci em 1988, ouvindo o mesmo disco. No meu caso, gostei mais da versão do Substance do que do Still. Sou, historicamente, mais fã do New Order do que do Joy Division, que só comecei a apreciar mais tarde na vida. Devemos ter a mesma idade ou coisa parecida.Mas ambas versões são mágicas.

Ah, the beautiful Montmartre!

This song is killing my soul

I've never seen this. Thought I saw every version, including Radiohead and now Echo and the Bunnymen. This is certainly one of NO's best songs, and JD's.

I hope that kid is safe

I heard ceremony in 82 in my as a teenager at college in Wellington such a beautiful piece , How I was so disillusioned' with New Order seeing them live' at the Varsity Hop that year, coming on late with poor sound quality. However this video is 'stunning' appears to be kodak chromed' as the footage is from the late 5o's early 60's in Paris.

Wow....takes me back to sophomore year in HS. What a beautiful song

Just popped into my head this seems to have a similar theme as Love will Tear us Apart of cycles repeating themselves in a relationship where that one lacked any hope this seems to have been more about breaking that cycle once and for all. Maybe Ian Curtis had real hope or was committed to his own demise. The arc of Joy Division into New Order is encapsulated in this song,

maybe we all need those little hope balloons.

Mon oncle
