Day 16 – Disliked at first
When this single was out, Ultravox was labeled by some purists I knew as "techno-hippies". And their advice was "so you just need to hate them". I changed my mind since!

Day 14 – A song about missing someone
An obvious choice for me. And, yes, this is about Ian Curtis.
There was a boy
I almost knew him
A glance exchanged
Made me feel good
Leaving some signs
Now a legend
