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. "1963"'s B-sides are all remixes of the title track or songs previously released. Lyrics In New Order Music 1981–89, the band's lyricist Bernard Sumner writes a tongue-in-cheek account of the song's lyrics that relate it to the 1963 assassination of John F. Kennedy. Sumner facetiously theorises that Kennedy arranged for Lee Harvey Oswald to shoot his wife so that "J.F. could do one with M. Monroe". Monroe commits suicide when Oswald hits the wrong target (in reality, Marilyn Monroe died in 1962, over a year before the assassination took place) and Oswald is later shot by his boss (implied to be Jack Ruby), for "doing such a bad job and causing his hit-man business to go bust."New Order Music 1981-89 1990 Warner Chappell Music London 978-0-86359-768-8 The producer Stephen Hague has referred to the song as "the only song about domestic violence that you can dance to."http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/mar05/articles/classictracks.htm Classic Tracks: New Order 'New Faith' Sound on Sound Buskin Richard March 2005 3 February 2013 https://web.archive.org/web/20140402231301/http://www.soundonsound.com/sos/mar05/articles/classictracks.htm 2014-04-02 live Versions The original 1987 version ended in a fade-out while repeating the last line of the outro, "I will always feel free". 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. An alternate mix of "1963-94" appeared on the 2005 Singles compilation,https://www.discogs.com/release/543435-New-Order-Singles New Order – Singles (2005, CD) 20 December 2021 Discogs.com 3 October 2005 while the 2016 re-release of Singles features the Arthur Baker remix.
