If you're a songwriter you would want a June Tabor or an Oysterband to cover your song. They simply elevate every song they touch. These musicians are beyond excellent. The pairing of Tabor with this band was a great idea. A treat for the ears.
This is so beautiful.Diolch
This just has to be "The cover of any song by any band of all time" bloody fantastic
My favorite band - plays one of my favorite songs. Thank you for all the years..
The wonderful lyrics of this song can stand alone as a profound poem. The completely different musical arrangements of Joy Division and June Tabor and the band are proof of the lyrical power here. One of my all time favourite songs and testimony to the creative genius of Ian Curtis.💕💕
I love the maturity and sensitivity of Tabor and Jones here. Lives lived. Actually, I love everything about this, one of my favourite love songs.
Lives lived, possibly, but that isn't what the song is about is it? It's about a young destructive love where you are pulled together and apart, hence the use of the word 'again' a cruicial word in the song. The song is written about people who do not know what they are doing because they are naive, being controlled by forces they cannot marshall in a mature way. which is why this version doesn't work.
I have always liked the Joy Division version of this but I've never cried to this song before today. Simply wonderful version. Thanks.
loved the Oyster Band and June Tabor. So good to hear them again.
That really is an incredible version of this song.
I think Johns expression at the end sums this up.....breathtaking.
As an old Manchester "Punk"" none of us were really what would be thought of as punks , the whole scene was more like the 60's San Francisco thing, the Fall, Joy Div, Buzzcocks, Magazine, Nosebleeds J C Clarke experiments in sound and lyrics and this is just takes an amazing song in another direction, I loved Ian Curtis and I'm sure he would have loved this.
Add a comment ? Words would only be so completely unnecessary ….. simply beautiful …. Thank you June and the band
Rediscovering this so many years after I saw them perform it live - probably one of the best covers ever!
Great version of this classic song. Never really listened to the words till I heard this cover. Just makes you think.
I'm in tears , such a beautiful performance
how have I never found this combination of two favourites - the song and June Tabor's voice - before?
and the cello
@@flashblackrabbit Listen to the Mississippi summer album. :-)
This is my favourite cover version of my favourite record of all time.
The male singer is John Jones from Oysterband a superp band from England - the cello is played by Chopper.
A truly stunning piece of work
This is the best rendering of this song I've ever heard. I heard this for the first time on a mix tape from a DJ I respect absolutely. (Luv Gordon) What you've been able to do here is interpret the intention and soul of the song and apply the musicality it warranted in the first place. That's not to say the original was in any way bad. It was honest and an expression of a situation but you've kept the emotional intent of content and enhanced the music.
Top stuff.
So much more excited for Cambridge 2012! Can't wait to see these guys!
A brilliant version. I saw this concert at Sidmouth in the same year.
Brilliant!
Beautiful.
Beautiful and sad.
I remember Paul Young doing a cover of this when I was at a very vulnerable age. I was shocked at the time how there could be such different versions of the same song - and quite a recent song at the the time - that were so different. Imagine a Spice Girls cover of Pretty Vacant. Perhaps less challenging. A lot of people only really learned the words through Paul Young. I hesitate to say it, but this is perhaps even better than the original and blows Paul Young out of the water...
Having listened to the original several times since the above, I am now confident that the original is... something extraordinary. This might be best of the rest, but the original is exactly that, and probably can't be bettered (whether you like it or not), because it does something that can only be done once.
If you listen to all the covers, or as many as you can stand, what you discover is a very catchy, singable song. Indeed, if you know the lyrics, it is almost impossible to stop yourself from warbling along. Curtis, as aware of this phenomenon as anyone, produces this amazing non-version, a kind of bloodless corpse of a song, with all the music drained out of it, pretty much leaving only the lyrics, which he then proceeds to pour out like grey sludge, except the hook.
I assume that Curtis just made the version he wanted to, but I am sure he knew that there would, sooner or later, be a Streisand version or an Elvis version, and made something that could never really be covered, however many times it is recorded.
Wow !
let me say the same: wow.
I don't even like the original, but this is sublime.
I heard this song last week and I'm sorry to report that I'm now dead, please make sure you cry for me and all other Joy Division fans as well
makes u long 4 that 1 u love ,,,n the plaec u yern 4 ,,,thats home
Good to see Jeremy Corbyn on guitar.
Who is the male singer and the volume is a little too low..Sorry great post lovely wow the cello is so good
The guys are 3/5 of Oysterband (as they were then, Chopper (cello) has left and been replaced with 2 folks, one cello, one bass.)
www.amazon.com/Ragged-Kingdom-June-Tabor-Oysterband/dp/B0056ZWYRQ for the album this was on.
This is not as good as the original, it cant be, but it is fantastic and the maturity of the singers brings a different element - just wish Curtis was around to give us his view.
Beautiful but I prefer the shadowplay version made by IKON.
Are you listening Ian? Didn’t they do you proud....Heartbreakingly poignant.
