The drums on this song go crazy!! Even the original version is one of joy division’s most slept on songs. I’m gonna be the first person to upload a drum cover of this song I swear

Very good song !!! Ian is a charismatic man

[@fabiocendron3290]

Più che carismatico.....ha sofferto molto !!!! E soffrendo assorbi anche i problemi degli altri ...e li fai tuoi

The best performance of this song. I got it only on vinyl with very chrunchy sound and a bad crack on it. So thank you!

[@evansnick81]

Could this song sound any greater than it does here.. ffs. The World should know about this 👍

[@MalcolmKelly72]

It's unbelievably good. I don't know why its not on any official release.

Wow! How on earth had I never heard this before??? It is every bit as good as the standard version and better in some ways. What interests me most is the difference in the lyrics. They've always been credited to Peter Hook, but Hook has stated Ian Curtis assisted him with them. It isn't clear to me in what way and who wrote what exactly. And why the changes in the lyrics from this version to the standard one? Both are great and certainly underappreciated.

Hooky wrote this one

[@KeimpeJ]

Where's the proof for that?

[@devinthierault]

​@@KeimpeJ an interview on Songfacts. I'm inclined to believe him since it's a lot like the new order and Monaco ones he wrote.
