New Order - Blue Monday

Release date: 1983

This song is believed to be about either drug addiction, child abuse or a failed relationship. The line, "How does it feel? To treat me like you do" could refer to either the drugs or a partner.

"Blue Monday" is one of the most influential Electronica songs. Synthpop was already a major force in British popular music, but this was arguably the first British dance record to crossover to the New York club scene.
