"New Dawn Fades" is a song by English rock band Joy Division from their 1979 debut album Unknown Pleasures. The song opens with a backwards and heavily modified sample from a previous song, "Insight", presumably added by Martin Hannett post-production.
The song relies on an ascending guitar riff by Bernard Sumner played against a descending bass riff by Peter Hook. The song uses the same progression throughout, but grows in intensity as the song progresses, reaching its peak with Ian Curtis singing "Me, seeing me this time, hoping for something else", and ending with a guitar solo. The song closes side one of Unknown Pleasures. It's also one of few Joy Division songs with two distinct guitars playing, one distorted and one a clean electric guitar picking notes from the guitar chords.
