Waiting For The Sirens' Call (song)
"Waiting for the Sirens' Call" is a single released in 2005 by the group New Order. The third single from the Waiting for the Sirens' Call album, it was released by London Records on 26 September 2005.
London eschewed the usual CD single, maxi CD and DVD configuration for the single, instead releasing "Waiting for the Sirens' Call" as three separate 7" singles. Each 7" contained a different mix of the single as an A-side. On the B-side, each 7" contained a brand new remix of a classic New Order single.
Many saw this as a bridging of the Waiting for the Sirens' Call album and the then-forthcoming Singles compilation.
A CD single for "Waiting for the Sirens' Call" followed the three 7" singles, and was released on October 3, 2005. The two track CD featured full-length mixes of the title track.
In a recent report, New Order frontman Bernard Sumner has stated that "Waiting for the Sirens' Call" is his favourite New Order song of all time.
The song was added to BBC Radio 2's A-List and was also playlisted by Xfm London. It debuted at #21 on the UK Singles Chart, one position lower than the previous single, "Jetstream".

Famous quotes containing the words waiting and/or call:
“We cannot set aside an hour for discussion with our children and hope that it will be a time of deep encounter. The special moments of intimacy are more likely to happen while baking a cake together, or playing hide and seek, or just sitting in the waiting room of the orthodontist.”
—Neil Kurshan (20th century)
“So that if you would form a just judgment of what is of infinite importance to you not to be misled in,—namely, in what degree of real merit you stand ... call in religion and morality.—Look,—What is written in the law of God?—How readest thou?—Consult calm reason and the unchangeable obligations of justice and truth;Mwhat say they?”
—Laurence Sterne (1713–1768)
