Did my best using concert footage to put together a decent video for Dead Souls. I am so pleased with the results I broke my arm patting myself on my back.
This guy had so much soul. I didnt care for bands like this at first cause I hadn't lived a real life yet. Once you've really gone through some shit, you see what makes this so special.
Been through so much pain just like Ian, it's something that was made worse by where my perception was trapped within but now has broken out into another reality, the one that was obscured by the daily frustrations that life is full of.
Ian had no pretense of his suffering...his lyrics raw and so accessible to anyone who needed a guiding hand thru the madness of the modern world. A billion in one talent.
The lyrics are sad but the music is of hope and grit, such is life, we are at the mercy of suffering but we must fight through it at every step of the way
To be fair, joy division was going in that direction with the heavier synthesizers implemented in some of the songs off of closer. If Curtis lived, they probably would have went the same direction but with darker lyrics.
Barack Obama Not true. New Order only decided to do this style when they went for a tour in USA and visited big clubs playing Disco music like Sylvester. Curtis was already dead.
You and me both Kate....he is an angel a definite beacon of.light and maybe it was too powerful and just couldn't stay..that's how I think of my ex whom also committed suicide and was amazingly talented I mean truly beautiful one in a million shit and he just did it one day. he was the man I wanted to marry but he's gone. Wish he were here listening to joy Division with me.😥that's why we have to be so delicate with these delicate artists...they could be angels who had to bail cause we sucked so bad...jk...idk...jd forever

Just beautiful weren’t they add that to his singing it and his dancing then you have perfection he really was a very sexy young man handsome talented oh boy what a waste of a beautiful young man
My son who is 24 introduced me to Joy Division, I've heard covers to 2 of their songs. These guys where ahead of their time or where tapping into something they saw coming...
Dude I got on board the joy division train at the age of 18 when I heard love will tear on Donnie darko ,at the age now of 33 I’m still flat out playing there music . genres come and genres go ,there is but a hand full of artists that can be classed as timeless Joy being one of them
This song is a perfect example of why Joy Division to me are like post war brutalist architecture reimagined in sonic form- it's so monumental. It's also like they took all the horrors that mankind inflicted upon itself in the 20th century and wound it up tight into a spring to propel themselves into the future. I feel a schizoid notion of then looking forward into the great unknown with a mixture of curiosity, hope and dread: putting a brave face on it all trying to suppress their fears that humanity had passed, or was passing, its high point whilst refusing to accept that in some way or another beauty would not prevail.
"Did my best using concert footage to put together a decent video for Dead Souls. I am so pleased with the results I broke my arm patting myself on my back."' Good job man, well done! Thank you for that great video.
Actually, I was not bothered by your all caps comment, unintentional as it was, your comment is so true and deserved caps. I listened to them as a teenager in the 70's and they rocked my world. Totally different music than what was being made at the time. They ushered in all the great bands of the early 80's, they were a huge influence. I have always felt so sorry for Ian, epilepsy is a horrible thing to experience, perhaps meds today could have helped him better. Idk. It was a huge deal back in the day to lose him, so glad his legacy and music lives on. Thanks for your post.

The first band I ever really cared about & here I still am 40-odd years later. For a band that really only made two studio albums (as Joy Division) & a smattering of EPs & singles.. their range was breathtaking. From Dead Souls to Glass to Atmosphere to Exercise One.. dance to the radio.. 😞
One of the greatest songs of all time. (My opinion) everything about it is sensational, it has a timeless quality and sounds like a band at the peak of their powers! God knows what Joy Division would have achieved if Ian Curtis had lived? The two albums are epic!

Some may not like what I am going to say but tough, from what I've seen and heard Joy Division is the greatest band in the history of rock and here is why. Their sound was different from anything rock has ever produced and finally Ian Curtis's lyrics are different from anything ever in the history of rock. Not the Beatles or the stones or the doors come's close and iam not knocking those bands. Those bands are rock standard Joy Division on the other hand was just different.
I agree mostly but does being different make you great? Im abig roses fan and technically they are superior musicians and made a bigger impact. But you can argue they nicked loads from 60s bands and later led zep. Who knows. Good music is good music.
Tony Wilson of Granada TV signed him with his own blood, that is very serious. You take an oath like that and the consequences will be serious. Just wish it had been later rather than sooner in this guys case.

Got turned on to these guys back in the 80s as a teenager really incredible music it takes you to some strange places but you don't mind ,dark but comfy you know
Excellent edit. This, and A Means To An End are my favourites. Never thought I'd ever see a video to this song, a very good imagination with very limited old footage, could easily have been the official video. Thank you.
This is amazingly beautiful. Exceptional Jeff!! Gave me chills, and tears. Thank you for this, it felt like getting a little new gift of Ian-a beautiful memorial 🖤🖤🖤
Wow. He seems so vibrant and alive in this particular song than the last few he was apart of. I always knew his voice as a lifeless, hopeless sound coming from someone who was also lifeless and who had lost hope. Never seen this side of him. It's such a shame, he was too young. Had so much potential.
Ian had what my brother suffers from, grand mal epilepsy. It's hard to live with someone when they have fits and collapse onto the floor writhing about for up to an hour or more. Have cried when witnessing Paul staring up in confusion after a fit, it broke my heart but now he is married and uses sedatives to manage his condition.
@@gpwnedable Thanks for your comment. Life seems to be a struggle to break free from the illusions that severely limit our joy of existence. Ian lost the battle at an early age but he lives on with his brilliant musical creations that will never ever perish in the way he did.

@@corvideity Thanks for your comments and sorry to hear about your spinal condition. How many specialists have you spoken to about this? Also do you sleep on a supportive mattress and try to sit upright in chairs? Diet can influence body functions and it helps to eat particular foods that are beneficial. What are your general stress levels like? As you have been told, Tramadol is not that effective, your body quickly gets used to it and then you need bigger doses. Codeine Phosphate is good but this affects digestion so you need to eat foods that stop this. A drug called Gabapentin might be effective, have used this myself for pain and sleeplessness. Will send you you distant reiki healing, Regards from Bodhi.
This was often the first song at each Gig. As it has a long intro It was always a good warm-up for Ian Curtis for his "Shamen like trance dance" Ian We miss you!
I love this. It's like finding new music for the first time. I've never heard them until recently. I am probably a decade older than most people who know Joy division, but I listened to Hooky's book, Unknown Pleasures and just had to listen to the music. I am completely in love with it! I am so sorry that Ian is gone. He was such an iconic singer and personality. Like Jim Morrison. They both have that "of no particular era" quality to their music. I want to hear everything they've done. and New Order too. Thanks, Jeff You deserve to break your arm patting yourself on the back. *smiles *
One of the best Joy Division songs. Great lyrics...excellent transitions musically a clinic on how not to sound like anyone else. I lost my brother the same way Ian went out. Brutal but look to the beauty of what was left behind and what remains
The love I have for this song and this band is endless. Every time I listen to this, I realize how beyond these guys are. It's satori and perfection thats beyond mortality. One of the greatest bands OF ALL TIME. Thank you for putting this together Jeff. You have a lot of love.
The video you made is brilliant! Thank you very much. Well done!! So much of this footage I've never seen before. I always loved this, Disorder and (most of all) Decades.
My favorite song and band of all time. Ian Curtis' and Joy Division's depth of feeling and authenticity blows everyone else away. Just found an old photo of Ian on Google Images. It's great, he looks the same at 5 as he looks at 22... Thank you, Ian, you're the best!
@Magic 8 Ball He was in hell...in his own body on Earth. That's how a teenager could come up with lyrics as haunting and profound as he did...suffering. God is not cruel, Ian is home now.
God bless and rest in peace Ian. Wished you knew how much your unique once in a lifetime talent has inspired so many artists since your death. Its a sin that you did not get the help you needed. Out of step in time you were. That was your magic and then it ultimately became your demise. A shooting star analogy. Briefest moment in the sky and then gone but etched in all our hearts and minds onwards forever.
To me one of the best songs still to this day. One must go back to that time in the late 70’s and beginning of the 80’s. The Thatcher and Carter years the doom and gloom of that period, the economic down turn and the height of the Cold War that was everywhere in England; US; The West. Bands such as Joy Division and the Smiths with their lyrical styles spoke to the youth of that period like no others. Spoke to the despair the youth felt.
If any psychologist or psychiatrist wanted to use Joy Division as a thesis into human pain, suffering and it’s results; well here you are. I first heard and watched JD on The Tube; I’m a Geordie so there you go. I was gobsmacked by JD immediately, dark haunting rhythms and constant beats, the only reason that JD haven’t been lauded more than they are is because they frighten people, they open the window to their souls and nobody likes to look inside in case it contradicts their personal view of themselves. Joy Division had less success and appeal compared to New Order; which I also like very much. But it’s only now that the roots are starting to resonate and bring people back. I never left, at approaching 68 I still understand the multi layers of life, death and confusion that life presents us with. Funny isn’t it, an unknown slightly schizophrenic Manchester boy could condense down human essence and spit it back at the world in such meaningful form. Rest peacefully Ian Curtis, life tormented you.
I am due to go in a couple of weeks but it has been damaged and top stone stolen - again!!! Desecration of any kind infuriates and sickens me. Mindless. I hope someone violates something of theirs, let's see how they like that....
@@sueashton3786 they would have to move their remains to some good cemetery in manchester, that disrespect cannot be tolerated poor Ian still suffers misfortunes being dead
think its about being in that moment and time nothing can take away that special moment in time post punk explosion. joy division so exicting so glad i was there to see it live
A superb edit. Really well matched from all the surviving footage, particularly synching the Manchester Apollo video. Wish you had avoided the regular reference to Ian's death at the end, though. Otherwise, pretty marvellous.
Someone take these dreams away That point me to another day A duel of personalities That stretch all true realities That keep calling me They keep calling me Keep on calling me They keep calling me Where figures from the past stand tall And mocking voices ring the halls Imperialistic house of prayer Conquistadors who took their share That keep calling me They keep calling me Keep on calling me They keep calling me Calling me, calling me Calling me, calling me They keep calling me Keep on calling me They keep calling me They keep calling me
Holy hell, I just discovered this original version today! I had no idea Trent's version was a cover of Joy Division's! So sad it took me this long to figure this out, lol. Learn something new everyday!
This is the only song that can bring life back into my perspective, anytime I've got the blues I just dance my ass of to this song and the world is okay for one beautiful moment
Ian is immortal in these clips. His stage presence was hypnotic, you just gazed at him and your mind went blank as he twisted and shook projecting his views about the dark side of his life. Saw him at the Rainbow, London just a few months before his suicide. Heard all his pain and frustration being unleashed on a dazzled audience and it was just incredible. Must have played Unknown Pleasures and Closer more than any other albums in my extensive collection. The other members of the band hated him and their lack of support was one of the reasons why he gave up on life just before the group made it really big. Ian is my anti-hero, an example of what not to do when you are down and can't see an immediate way out.
@@5burowz Yes, a documentary was made where Peter Hook, Bernard Sumner and Stephen Morris were asked about their feelings towards Ian after finding out he hanged himself. "We thought, what a bastard to do that just before we were to embark on a tour of the USA". They all sounded very annoyed that their front man opted out of the band's progress and they had to change the name of the band after that. New Order made average records at best and now Peter Hook has started to play all the original Joy Division songs calling himself 'Peter Hook and the light'

Right?? Pain makes you human.
Fucking amazing. The sound of this song is so violent and haunting and raw and real. Just like how life is for some of us.
In fact, it's borrowed from book of Nikolai Gogol.
Well said buddy, and so very true too x

How Life Was For Ian...
There will never be another lyricist like Ian Curtis
tohnk that and the music is amazing too!!
nope but there are better ones like Trent Reznor .D
Never. Yorke is close though but he sings in falsetto and Ian in baritone. Similar yet too different.
Ian wrote half of Trent’s song album.
Shashwat Srivastava Yeah, Let Down are some of the greatest lyrics ever written and recorded.
Ian had no pretense of his suffering...his lyrics raw and so accessible to anyone who needed a guiding hand thru the madness of the modern world. A billion in one talent.
like adrian borland of the sound
"A billion in one talent." Damn right he was. He had absolutely no protection against himself and the horror of modern "reality." A few of us get it.
Who ever put this footage and sound together is a legend respect. RIP Ian you are loved ❤️
that person made this video his name is Jeff Moyer
Awsome work Jeff
This is fan made? Holy god, great great job indeed! Thanks to whoever!
I'm 57, only just got into JD and blown away. The lyrics the voice, the pain the guitar the drums. Just wow and sadness
and energy !

35 years now and Im struck by how gorgeous the sound is…
I've been really into them since about 40, I'm 50 right now. I do remember 'Love Will Tear Us Apart' from the 80's as a kid, though.

Codeine Phosphate is good but this affects digestion so you need to eat foods that stop this. A drug called Gabapentin might be effective, have used this myself for pain and sleeplessness.

This was often the first song at each Gig. As it has a long intro It was always a good warm-up for Ian Curtis for his "Shamen like trance dance" Ian We miss you!
One of my all time favorite bands these guys were ahead of there time and Ian lyrics is just powerfull and sick rock on Joy Division😃😃
The soul that came from nowhere, and who has gone everywhere. "Substance".
Listened to JD since the early 80's, still do and still love them!
There were intros, good intros , great intros then Dead Souls.
Remarkable.
I love this. It's like finding new music for the first time. I've never heard them until recently. I am probably a decade older than most people who know Joy division, but I listened to Hooky's book, Unknown Pleasures and just had to listen to the music. I am completely in love with it! I am so sorry that Ian is gone. He was such an iconic singer and personality. Like Jim Morrison. They both have that "of no particular era" quality to their music. I want to hear everything they've done. and New Order too. Thanks, Jeff You deserve to break your arm patting yourself on the back. *smiles *
What about The Bangles?
One of the best Joy Division songs. Great lyrics...excellent transitions musically a clinic on how not to sound like anyone else.
I lost my brother the same way Ian went out. Brutal but look to the beauty of what was left behind and what remains
Dead Souls and Disorder are my favorite Joy Division songs. Pretty good job with the music video btw.
i have to go with disorder, new dawn fades then dead souls but those are my top 3...
I'm a big interpol and editors fan and it's crazy how much you can see Joy Divison in them. Great song.
If you like Interpol. Check this from 1982. It's like the blueprint for them.

The love I have for this song and this band is endless. Every time I listen to this, I realize how beyond these guys are. It's satori and perfection thats beyond mortality. One of the greatest bands OF ALL TIME. Thank you for putting this together Jeff. You have a lot of love.
It’s fing mind blowing every time !! Omfggggg they have no
equals.
The greatest Ian Curtis ❤️❤️
My all-time favorite Joy Division song.
(And you did do a great job putting the footage together!)
The video you made is brilliant! Thank you very much. Well done!! So much of this footage I've never seen before. I always loved this, Disorder and (most of all) Decades.
Hooky's final bass ride is one of my favorite musical moments ever. One of the most amazing bands ever!
I remember these guys in 1980, I used to listen on tape in my Mini car.
My favorite song and band of all time. Ian Curtis' and Joy Division's depth of feeling and authenticity blows everyone else away. Just found an old photo of Ian on Google Images. It's great, he looks the same at 5 as he looks at 22... Thank you, Ian, you're the best!
This might as well be the official video 🤷🏽♂️
Great job, Jeff. Thanks for the upload. Absolutely timeless music.
TERRIFIC!!! Superb!!! Congrats and thank you for the work
Pure Poetry! God bless Ian Curtis! RIP
my dad died today this song is beautiful

I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope you're doing ok now.
star child prayers for u
So sorry to hear that. A stranger (me) is symbolically sending you some light.
Incredible video you put together . Love Ian, love Joy Division, love Dead Souls. Pray for the holy soul of Ian
Absolutely Brilliant !!! Many Thanks for the upload.
talent jeff awesome job... Brings me back 'they keep calling me"
This is bloody brilliant mate. You done a damn good job making this video.
Someday in heaven I will hear ian again. He is truly great.
@Magic 8 Ball He was in hell...in his own body on Earth. That's how a teenager could come up with lyrics as haunting and profound as he did...suffering. God is not cruel, Ian is home now.
@@mylessee5088 amem! "Blessed is he who does not blame God" said King David
Congratulatiosn Jeff!! very nice your mix w clear sound and emotional images of the band
Fantastic song and video!!! Thanks for the post!!!
God bless and rest in peace Ian. Wished you knew how much your unique once in a lifetime talent has inspired so many artists since your death. Its a sin that you did not get the help you needed. Out of step in time you were. That was your magic and then it ultimately became your demise. A shooting star analogy. Briefest moment in the sky and then gone but etched in all our hearts and minds onwards forever.
Well said
Thanks Jeff this is great!!
Amazing! as a Joy Division fan I can only thank you for your work. I am very impressed with the quality of the video you got. Congratulations.
We miss you always Ian 🖤 Thank so much JM for this video.
Nunca haverá nada igual ou parecido. JD Forever and never
To me one of the best songs still to this day. One must go back to that time in the late 70’s and beginning of the 80’s. The Thatcher and Carter years the doom and gloom of that period, the economic down turn and the height of the Cold War that was everywhere in England; US; The West. Bands such as Joy Division and the Smiths with their lyrical styles spoke to the youth of that period like no others. Spoke to the despair the youth felt.
Really excellent collage! Saw them several times around Lancashire 78-80...brings a tear to my eye...
Words fail me. Superb, tune and great video progrmming
If any psychologist or psychiatrist wanted to use Joy Division as a thesis into human pain, suffering and it’s results; well here you are. I first heard and watched JD on The Tube; I’m a Geordie so there you go. I was gobsmacked by JD immediately, dark haunting rhythms and constant beats, the only reason that JD haven’t been lauded more than they are is because they frighten people, they open the window to their souls and nobody likes to look inside in case it contradicts their personal view of themselves. Joy Division had less success and appeal compared to New Order; which I also like very much. But it’s only now that the roots are starting to resonate and bring people back. I never left, at approaching 68 I still understand the multi layers of life, death and confusion that life presents us with. Funny isn’t it, an unknown slightly schizophrenic Manchester boy could condense down human essence and spit it back at the world in such meaningful form. Rest peacefully Ian Curtis, life tormented you.
Excellent job!
Superb Jeff.....loving every minute of this
This video was well put together. Always loved this song. So sad to see such talent go.
This song will live 1000 years
❤ thanks for this, really
Pure art, pure rock n roll. Thanks.
Superb edition. Master work for the best song of Joy Division. Thank you so much Jeff
this is brilliant!
just pay'd a visit in Macclesfield cemetery on the 18/05..no one else was there..btw this is one of my favorite
I am due to go in a couple of weeks but it has been damaged and top stone stolen - again!!! Desecration of any kind infuriates and sickens me. Mindless. I hope someone violates something of theirs, let's see how they like that....
@@sueashton3786 they would have to move their remains to some good cemetery in manchester, that disrespect cannot be tolerated poor Ian still suffers misfortunes being dead
think its about being in that moment and time
nothing can take away that special moment in time post punk
explosion. joy division so exicting so glad i was there to see it live
Just spot on buddy, best video I've watched in a long time. Very well done. RIP Ian.
Their masterpiece
A superb edit. Really well matched from all the surviving footage, particularly synching the Manchester Apollo video. Wish you had avoided the regular reference to Ian's death at the end, though. Otherwise, pretty marvellous.
Brilliant song and group
Thanks! Good job. years later and this is still a rare find
Someone take these dreams away
That point me to another day
A duel of personalities
That stretch all true realities
That keep calling me
They keep calling me
Keep on calling me
They keep calling me
Where figures from the past stand tall
And mocking voices ring the halls
Imperialistic house of prayer
Conquistadors who took their share
That keep calling me
They keep calling me
Keep on calling me
They keep calling me
Calling me, calling me
Calling me, calling me
They keep calling me
Keep on calling me
They keep calling me
They keep calling me
Trent Reznor does an excellent cover of this song. But you can't ever beat an original ❤
I love Trent's version but when I heard the original by Joy Division I was blown away! The beats and Ian's voice are just perfection.
Holy hell, I just discovered this original version today! I had no idea Trent's version was a cover of Joy Division's! So sad it took me this long to figure this out, lol. Learn something new everyday!
Tear of joy! @@blueblade455
Thank you for this ! Outstanding !
Thank you for the share, thank you Joy Division pure genius himself!!!!!!
Eu amo demais está música!!! Tá na playlist da minha vida!!
Minha favorita também.

Masterpiece
This is the only song that can bring life back into my perspective, anytime I've got the blues I just dance my ass of to this song and the world is okay for one beautiful moment
Ian is immortal in these clips. His stage presence was hypnotic, you
just gazed at him and your mind went blank as he twisted and shook
projecting his views about the dark side of his life. Saw him at the
Rainbow, London just a few months before his suicide. Heard all his pain
and frustration being unleashed on a dazzled audience and it was just
incredible. Must have played Unknown Pleasures and Closer more than any other albums in my extensive collection. The other members of the band hated him and their lack of support was one of the reasons why he gave up on life just before the group made it really big. Ian is my anti-hero, an example of what not to do when you are down and can't see an immediate way out.
Proof that they hated him?
@@5burowz Yes, a documentary was made where Peter Hook, Bernard Sumner and Stephen Morris were asked about their feelings towards Ian after finding out he hanged himself. "We thought, what a bastard to do that just before we were to embark on a tour of the USA". They all sounded very annoyed that their front man opted out of the band's progress and they had to change the name of the band after that. New Order made average records at best and now Peter Hook has started to play all the original Joy Division songs calling himself 'Peter Hook and the light'
