This is "Hiroshima Mon Amour" by The Church from their 1999 LP A Box Of Birds. It is a cover version of the song originally done by Ultravox. This is a fan video and I own nothing of its contents. Special thanks to Matty Brown and his video Japan on Vimeo.com vimeo.com/matthewbrown

Lyrics:
Somehow we drifted off too far
Communicate like distant stars
Splintered voices down the phone
The sunlit dust, the smell of roses drifts, oh no
Someone waits behind the door
Hiroshima mon amour
Riding inter-city trains
Dressed in European grey
Riding out to echo beach
A million memories in the trees and sands, oh no
How can I ever let them go?
Hiroshima mon amour
Deep beneath the autumn lake
Where only echoes penetrate
Walk through polaroids of the past
Futures fused like shattered glass, the suns so low
Turns our silhouettes to gold
Hiroshima mon amour

The original was groundbreaking, and this is an exceptional tribute. Sounds like what was originally intended plus a bonus Church vibe.

Great cover from a great album of covers by The Church ("Box of Birds"). I bought the album in 1999. I never thought they would do covers. But I was pleasantly surprised when getting it that it contained many songs that I think they had redone as sort of a thank you to the bands/artists that inspired them. Thanks for posting this. :)

Not sure about that. Having had the pleasure of hearing John Foxx (and the Math) play this live, I wouldn't say this is better. However, this is definitely the version I will play next time I am DJing. Far, far more dancefloor friendly. Thanks bdoggonewild for putting this up.

It is rare to do a cover of a song and make it better but the Church succeed brilliantly. A haunting, exhilarating piece of music.

It's a good version. But no higher level here, the original from 1977 (!) is just too perfect and also far more distinct with its unique sound. And while the original rises to an ecstatic end thanks to the great saxophone, this version gets a little boring and repetitive. And yes, I love The Church.
