The post-punk funeral march. An utterly staggering piece of music that never fails to chill. When Ian first utters the word 'walk' at the beginning, we know it's not going to be an easy ride. It kind of encapsulates the sadness and loss surrounding the band and their tragic history. Long live JD and RIP IC x
Ditto! I saw (and heard) Joy Division twice in 1979, at The Futurama Festival in Leeds, and at Newcastle City Hall when they supported The Buzzcocks. After The Buzzcocks gig I met Ian as he stepped out, and I told him his band was the best support act I'd seen!👌R.I.P. Ian 💓
Listening to these lyrics reminds me that despite all the romantisation of Ian Curtis and his death I hope NOBODY has the go through the things that he felt, or anybody for that matter. My sister is an epilectic and has recently came out saying she wants to go through assisted suicide once our parents pass, which, fingers crossed, won't be anytime soon. While I support her decision as a grown adult remember to love those who are suffering and be sure to check on them.
What is interesting is that despite the lyrics of Ian Curtis, Bernard said Ian was a joker, had a good sense of humour and was not walking around appearing to be depressed. If you listen to one of the only interviews of Ian, he sounds like a pretty regular guy.
Can you believe a 23 year old wrote these words? He was more than a singer-songwriter, he was a tortured poet. His music was the expression of his conflict and turmoil and no one knew it until it was too late
It's so hypnotic, pure. This man was a f.... genius. This band is immortal. 40 years and we are here, like we have a crush on this amazing band.. Thank you Joy Division, thank you Ian.
It's when you realise that life's nothing special that you start to dwell in this realm of thought. He did that very young and better than any of uss. That's what's making it so great.
Ian Curtis was on the same level as John Keats when it came to heart felt vision. A mesmerising writer and performer. We will never see the like of him again. Thank you Ian, for being with us, even for such a brief time, thank you for all you gave us, thank you for articulating what many of us could never put into words, thank you for the light and the up lift of common grace.
This is a great discussion I have honestly we should continue this. If I see Keats and I see Yeats writing to Maud. I even see Bukowski dude, but Ian is just as good as the former two
This is the lonelyness,the sadeness,the HUNGER and hate before he is going to meet THE FATHER....the END and the BEGINING. THE FIRST AND LAST... ALLAWAYS....
Honestly, I personally think this might be Joy Division's magnum opus. And that's saying a lot since their whole discography is a sight to behold! I think part of what makes Joy Division such an iconic band is the band's short lifespan. They only lasted 4 years (if you don't count New Order)! Yet, they had such a big influence on music and other bands that came after.
Yeah, Ian Curtis is the greatest poet that’s ever lived and fronted a band There is nobody like Ian Curtis I wanna write a curriculum based on in for the English department “Ian Curtis is God” I don’t have my PhD yet but this song is destroying me They really are the best of all time. I’m voice texting because I’ve been crying.
I know the lyrics are the best. Poet. I know the band are the best. Ever. I know the production is the best. Hannet. But i never realised how great curtis voice is. Superb. Just great. How deep and emotional.
That's the year I graduated from high school. I didn't get into Joy Division until in grad school in the mid 1980s when a friend introduced me to their music although I had heard the name of the group. Love them.
The graphics on these lyric videos really work well,especially on "Atmosphere",and I've said it on a few other of these new lyric videos - a great improvement on those re-imagined videos.
I am german. In 1980 I was 9 years old and I didnt know Ian Curtis. I was so sadly when Curt Cobain died in 1994, I was so sadly when Michael Hudgens died in 1997. But for me is the deth from Ian Curtis the most tragic in the music History 😢😢
On that ‘87 tour at the show in Los Angeles they came out for a second encore after the lights had come on at the outdoor amphitheater and played “Sister Ray.” Place was half empty at that point. People couldn’t get back in. It was an awesome double bill with Echo and the Bunnymen. One of my favorite concert experiences of all time.
This song and " Isolation by The Impures " .... are some of the only things getting me through the beginning of 2022. Times may be tough but everything going to be okay in the end. I hope everyone is doing well. .:DDDDDDDDV
Sometimes socialites and rich people don't understand they are unequal to scholars. Sometimes, people have delusions that they are scholars and intellectuals without hard times with the books. Art, music, mathematics, fiction, and poetry are often ways people attempt expressing this. Kudos if you can survive their onslaught with an attached clarity. Hint* One of the best ways people have found to express this inequality is through the atomic explosion that ended World War 2.
martin hannett , was truly the fifth member of the band !!! without his keys and effects as well as whole sound production , they would have stayed as WARSAW !!!
nemojte se sekirati. Ja sam odavno prestala da obraćam pažnju na odsustvo svakog morala i ljudskosti. Sve što sam radila, i dobro i loše, ostaće u pamćenju ljudi. Nadam se da je boljeg bilo više. Ko zna. Ali, ako sam ostavila bar mali dobar trag u ljudima, vredelo je. Želim Vam lep vikend. …

My favorite Joy Division are New Dawn Fades and Atmosphere. These are absolute post-punk masterpieces, poetic elegies.
Joy Division and Type o Negative!!!!!........Never again!!!.......A fakin' anthem!!!!
@buzzlightyyear747 YES, BRILLIANT TO ! :-D

How can you not love Joy Division and Ian Curtis?
He's a legend, Joy Division are legend.
秋の夕暮れにこの曲を聞きながら息を引き取りたい。

Greatest band in HISTORY.
Fact
Greatest SINGER in HISTORY.
What is interesting is that despite the lyrics of Ian Curtis, Bernard said Ian was a joker, had a good sense of humour and was not walking around appearing to be depressed. If you listen to one of the only interviews of Ian, he sounds like a pretty regular guy.
Mmm so what? what diference would it make?
Those ones are the ones in the most pain, trying to make others not feel the same pain they feel.
The ones who are most deeply depressed hide it well
Can you believe a 23 year old wrote these words? He was more than a singer-songwriter, he was a tortured poet. His music was the expression of his conflict and turmoil and no one knew it until it was too late
Ian's lyrics are my greatest inspiration🖤
Ian was the best lyricist in rock history. No comparison.
*All Dark Long* Una sensación interminable que rige las noches.. GRACIAS *JOYdivision*
That's the music and why is so important
The saddest thing is that his lyrics speak for everyone. Yet here we are.
This Band is from another World.
Played at my Mums funeral ❤️ I will never stop missing you.. I hope I see you again one day
Omg ❤ love u Bro
❤
❤
Had to have been tough, mate. She's in a better place. God help us, we may all be one day.
❤
How did I make it to the age of 50 without ever hearing this before?
What a gorgeous piece of music.
It's never too late 🖤
Maybe you were 49 when it got released?
me realizing joy division is the greatest band ever after 22 years of existing ♡
Don't worry about it, my parents had never heard of Pink Floyd.
@@mikaelbauer3818 No way! May I ask where they're from?
It's so hypnotic, pure. This man was a f.... genius. This band is immortal. 40 years and we are here, like we have a crush on this amazing band..
Thank you Joy Division, thank you Ian.
Dude, this band is a religion to us. We have to spread it to people deserving.
I meant *home girl. Apologies, Kishanna. People like you find it easy.
I lived with a Kristanna past few months. Set down with due care.
Am 74 and am still hypnotised.
Hauntingly beautiful. Prophetic even..
It's when you realise that life's nothing special that you start to dwell in this realm of thought. He did that very young and better than any of uss. That's what's making it so great.
Put it this way. He knew and felt exactly what he was singing about. Although people are as they are.
Ian Curtis was on the same level as John Keats when it came to heart felt vision. A mesmerising writer and performer. We will never see the like of him again.

It’s more powerful though cause it’s music and Ian is the greatest ever shout out to Fanny brown

The drums and bass line in this. Amazing.
This song always brings chills through my spine and tears to my eyes; the BEST!
First heard Joy Division in 1979. I thought it was an old man singing, then when I saw who Ian was, I realised he was an old soul.
Yeah, Ian Curtis is the greatest poet that’s ever lived and fronted a band
There is nobody like Ian Curtis I wanna write a curriculum based on in for the English department “Ian Curtis is God” I don’t have my PhD yet but this song is destroying me They really are the best of all time. I’m voice texting because I’ve been crying.
I can feel and hear the pain in Ian. 🖤🖤
I always cry when I hear this song!
People like you find it easy ,waking air don't walk away
I know what you mean, but then for me, it always lifts me up, enables me to face the day.
A real Treasure of Music! RIP Ian, unforgotten Hero!
The best...the best song of all the time! Darkness filled the skies right now!
I totally agree with you 👍
@@jod1017 yeah Eleanor, I can feel the darkness inside me too!
@@CarlosRicciardi726 don't feel too much darkness 😉
@@jod1017 I will try it, because with Joy Division is so easy that!

Forever one of my favorite songs
Without a future to build on, it leaves on dwelling on the past
God bless you Ian
I know the lyrics are the best. Poet. I know the band are the best. Ever. I know the production is the best. Hannet. But i never realised how great curtis voice is. Superb. Just great. How deep and emotional.
359K is a good number of views but this work of genius deserves way more.
Ian...🖤🌹..walk in peace again...
Replay. Replay. Replay.
I can listen this forever
Masterpiece, true classic
I love JOY DIVISION since 1979 ♥
That's the year I graduated from high school. I didn't get into Joy Division until in grad school in the mid 1980s when a friend introduced me to their music although I had heard the name of the group. Love them.
That voice though......🖤
❤❤
But also the drums and the bass...
God i love joy division. Just about every song is a suicide note.
Yet somehow it is strangely uplifting
Honor to whom honor is due 🙏🏻
@buzz lighty year Hey please stop spamming posts about Ian like really get the fuck out. The greatest songs by the greatest poet you can leave now.
Wow!! An amazing, poignantly beautiful song. Full of passion. Outstanding lyrics. Wow!! 🌹🌹💚☘️
it's only been 41 years since the song came out
Only 341 years since this song came out ,still sounds brilliant
Thank you Ian 😙
Trust the world and you shall reap its rewards.
Reality is a modern art movement.
Speak the truth and people will love you for it.
Still beautiful and touching
So much better with the lyric displayed as subtitles.
legendary
The best band ever

🎶 immortal song 🎶
@ate her up man I listened to it, great song.
Morris 🙌🏻 Hooky🙌🏻 this is in my top 3 JD songs. Never budges
I saw New Order play this in NYC back in 1987 as an encore song. Never forget it.
I was there too
@@robertgambino1320 Yeah bro! Not sure if you remember, Robert, but the speakers cut out during the show for a time.

Poor Ian.
this is so amazing good ... can listen for hours ... love it !

Don’t walk away... in silence...
It hits different once you saw Control...
The ending crematorium scene with this song is just haunting
@@kid29 yeah, like the saddest feeling ever
I got to see it at the Santa Fe film festival. Corbijn did an amazing job with a phenomenal cast. I wouldn't trust anyone else with the film.
That chimney...
@@kid29 and so so sad. 😢
If you understand Abandonment...You understand Joy Division.
Yes yes yes, that makes sense why these lyrics are like a magnet to me
the best song sung by Patrick Star ever
A beautiful disaster that was...
Joy Division. I fucking love them 💙
Saw the movie CONTROL last night. Made me appreciate the band and Ian Curtis's talent even more. RIP IC.
RIP Immortal Ian. 🖤🥀
All this sound, these lyrics, from what was essentially a late '70s band. Astonishing.
What has the decade got to do with it?
@@Michael-mm3fm musical evolution.
It will be play to my Funeral...❤
I LOVE JOY DIVISION MORE THAN I LOVE MYSELF
dude, jd are great but i believe so are you, don't be so harsh on yourself:)
l love everything more than l love myself
@@kakashihatake6176 i hear you brother.
Do you hate yourself as much as Ian Curtis hated his life?
No one from the JD community loves themselves lol
Wow beautifal a music can be.!
Unforgetablle.
Timeless
Hounds of love introduced me to this song. Depressive movie but with a strong finish to this tune
Tudo nessa música é perfeito
Concordo plenamente.
I won’t walk away, even if life’s sometimes hurting....
My husband Paulie loves joy division and in turn he got me loving the band love Reggie myler ❤❤❤
fantastic this requiem!
Inspiegabilmente umana, mi attraversa e mi uccide ❤️
I’m sad that Ian has gone but I was happy he was here too.
Ian's own last words in a sense
This song and " Isolation by The Impures " .... are some of the only things getting me through the beginning of 2022. Times may be tough but everything going to be okay in the end. I hope everyone is doing well. .:DDDDDDDDV

Grande Ian, descansa en paz

PREACH
If you’ve never heard of joy divisions you haven’t been down a dark road
A huge influence to U2 in the early years, just listen to the album Boy, October, War, even The Unforgettable Fire and Joshua Tree
Yes. Somehow U2 sounded like this earlier on
martin hannett , was truly the fifth member of the band !!! without his keys and effects as well as whole sound production , they would have stayed as WARSAW !!!
A genius producer
Excelente!
I like New Order but their creativity and depth was at it's best with Ian Curtis.
Peaky Blinders 🎵❤
so lovely
Ho 49 anni e oggi ho scoperto i Joy Division, chiedo scusa e inizio subito a rimettermi in pari..
