World in Motion

"World in Motion" is a song by British musical group New Order (credited as England New Order). It was New Order's only number one hit in the UK Singles Chart. The song was produced for the England football team's 1990 FIFA World Cup campaign, and features a guest rap by England footballer John Barnes and additional vocals by several members of the 1990 English team and comedian Keith Allen, who had co-written the lyric. One band member reportedly gleefully claimed to the NME that they hoped it it "would be the last straw for Joy Division fans," noting how its upbeat sound had inverted their former band's famously gloomy image.

The song was originally announced as being called "E for England" but the Football Association vetoed the title, realising that it sounded suspiciously like a reference to the drug ecstasy. Allen claimed that his original draft lyrics ran "E is for England, England starts with E / We'll all be smiling when we're in Italy."

Song

The backing track for the chorus of "World in Motion" bore some similarities to the instrumental theme tune for the DEF II current-affairs show, Reportage, which had been written for the show by Stephen Morris and Gillian Gilbert of New Order. "World in Motion" was produced by Stephen Hague, who had also produced one of the group's earlier hits, "True Faith". The single was released in May 1990 with the catalogue number FAC 293. It was New Order's last release on Factory Records.

World in Motion (Jackson Browne album)

World in Motion is the ninth album by American singer/songwriter Jackson Browne, released in 1989 (see 1989 in music). It peaked at number 45 on The Billboard 200 and was Browne's first album to obtain neither Gold nor Platinum status. The album took three years to complete and makes statements about nuclear disarmament and the "secret" government that brought forth Oliver North and the Iran-Contra scandal.

Reception

The critical reviews of World in Motion were lukewarm. Music critic William Rulhmann wrote "Except for the gloomy viewpoint, it was hard to recognize the Jackson Browne of his first few albums amid all the commentary, and even if you agreed with his overall political stance, that was disappointing." Critic Robert Christgau commented that the best songs were the ones Browne did not write.Rolling Stone wrote, "Steven Van Zandt's 'I Am a Patriot' is the only truly memorable song on Browne's trilogy of protest albums."

In Motion (Copeland album)

In Motion is the second full-length album released by the Lakeland, Florida band Copeland. The album includes a bonus disc of the Sony Connect Sessions with acoustic versions of "Don't Slow Down", "Pin Your Wings", "Take Care" and "Coffee", the latter two of which are taken from Beneath Medicine Tree.

This album has a somewhat unusual drumming technique: the drums were retuned after each track take. This was done to give each track a "stand-alone" feel.

Track listing

All music written and arranged by Copeland except "Choose the One Who Loves You More" written by Copeland and Stephen Nichols.
