Lyrics:
To the centre of the city where all roads meet, waiting for you,
To the depths of the ocean where all hopes sank, searching for you,
I was moving through the silence without motion, waiting for you,
In a room with a window in the corner I found truth.
In the shadowplay, acting out your own death, knowing no more,
As the assassins all grouped in four lines, dancing on the floor,
And with cold steel, odour on their bodies made a move to connect,
But I could only stare in disbelief as the crowds all left.
I did everything, everything I wanted to,
I let them use you for their own ends,
To the centre of the city in the night, waiting for you,
To the centre of the city in the night, waiting for you.

RIP Ian Curtis (July 15, 1956 - May 18, 1980), aged 23
You will always be remembered as a legend.
he was 23?! damn, that's insane
Not RIP (tear or rip your record up), but Rest in Peace. His life may have been living hell.
@@user-sf1ik4fk9eI suppose it must have been! It’s really sad. He was incredibly talented. I just wish he could’ve survived that one particular day.
I will never be able to get over this guitar. So longing and assertive at the same time.
perfect description!
I came here, after rhcp cover this song.
It is so simple but it doesn't matter. Great song!
I still can't get over how this bassline sounds so awesome when it's stupidly simple to play.
@@Rexcarsalot All the best basslines are simple as fuck and thumping 🤘
"I did everything, everything I wanted to." That line always gives me chills.
Am still trying too
Would've been better as "I did nothing - nothing I wanted to."
Why would that be better?
@@Unfunny_Username_389
I like the production on that line they drop the loudness of the drum
It means the same thing, you got it.@@Unfunny_Username_389
If you're watching this. PLEASE PLEASE focus on more industrial stuff like abandoned factories, grime, brutalist architecture, that type of stuff. Give us a look into what Manchester looked like in the late 70s. A look into the working class life where people struggle to survive and feed their families. This video is better than Day of the Lords, you're getting there. Stuff like Vonnegut's novels and songs like Frankie Teardrop by Suicide are what I think about when I listen to Joy Division.
Suicides a wonderful band actually...quite underrated.
I think video by Malcolm Whitehead (made in 2005) is a quite nice example of how it should be done: ruclips.net/video/Oav8aMCPn7M/видео.html
So you think about Frankie Teardrop when you are actually listening to Joy Division... hmm. I don't find a similarity between that song and the music of Joy Division; if you are talking about the lyrics meaning, that's another thing...
@@DogDamour Well the lyrics and the music production of Unknown Pleasures. It sounds so cold and echoey.
It should be obvious to them. Anyone who knows joy division who didn’t find out about them through a t shirt should know that that’s what joy division is. I agree, the whole late 70s Manchester setting and Frankie teardrop comparison I agree with , but honestly , whoever is making these videos probably does not give a shit and is trying to make their music more palatable to a younger generation
Unknown Pleasures truly was a gem of the 80's. A lot of credit goes these guys creating an all new genre.
It was the 70's ffs!!
@@philipwheal9593 released in 1979. Listened to in the 80s.
...it was 70s
To the center of the city where all roads meet, waiting for you,
To the depths of the ocean where all hopes sank, searching for you,
I was moving through the silence without motion, waiting for you,
In a room with a window in the corner I found truth.
In the shadowplay, acting out your own death, knowing no more,
As the assassins all grouped in four lines, dancing on the floor,
And with cold steel, odor on their bodies made a move to connect,
But I could only stare in disbelief as the crowds all left.
I did everything, everything I wanted to,
I let them use you for their own ends,
To the center of the city in the night, waiting for you.
To the center of the city in the night, waiting for you.

Thank you!

Amazing
Absolutely love Joy division. God bless you Ian Curtis. You're loved n missed
Amen, brother. Ian loved poetry and was extremely clever, and we can all in some small way relate to his fight with depression, being alone in a crowd, we will always miss this poet, his song of life...such as it was.
Bless you Ian , your happy now, that I know on some strange level. Bless you Ian Curtis, we miss you. A FAN X
What an Album! This came about at the time The Clash and Pistols were at their peak.. Talking Head, Siouxsie, Echo and The Bunnymen, The Cars were driving the Post Punk Scene..... Great Days and Two Legendary Albums from JD! Thanks guys!
Still better than most music. The boys were 40yrs ahead of their time. The '80s were incredible time for music.
1979 so not 80's mate but I agree this band were miles ahead of anything at the time,all down to the genius of Ian Curtis
@@clifflock4846 LoL You're that 1 guy who's always a gas at parties. Aren't you? I think you should stay in the loft mate. The boys were still 40yrs ahead of their time, and the '80s were still a great time for music.
I disagree, music still sounds cool today, there are lot of bands from today era that evolved from Joy Division
@@hanatarash666 Disagree with what?
"the boys" OK. Who the fcuk are you? Address them appropriately.
every Joy Division song sounds like it's happening in a gorgeously shot black and white film
We let them use Shadowplay for their own ends...
To the centre of the city where all roads meet, waiting for them....

a banal travesty of a video
The people that keep posting the lyrics didn't really understand your comment haha.
This song and video has a paralyzing and distinctive atmosphere that I can't describe
What a great powerful song. The bass is absolute killer
I don’t understand all these people complaining about these reimagined videos. I can clearly see artistic value in these videos
artistic value doesn't matter when the pics don't match the sound
Just close your eyes....
You are better off
Povilas Žukaitis
Hahaha nice comment
Povilas Žukaitis I cant I still see them dancing not Ian
Yup indeed, Povalis, best reaction on this video !
Chaotic bl/wh "dance" imagery plus dancing dervish ??? Seriously ??? Give me a break, Joy Division channel.....!
Spaced out pseudo-artistic millennials fucking up everything, understanding nothing !
@MauBast777 It's ironic that you say that. Bands like Joy Division were certainly seen as that, at their time.
"the song is called SHADOWPLAY so let's LITERALLY PLAY IN THE SHADOWS"
I thought that shadowplay was making reference to a form of performance done with shadows like hands or something like that
This band was only together for short period of time made some most amazing music
Walking home from a party I had left in pain and anger because my girlfriend had completely ignored me to intensely flirt with another guy. Went home to our apartment, upstairs to our bedroom, which had a window in the corner. Sat on our bed with the lights off. To depths of the ocean where all hopes sank, searching for her, moving through the silence without motion, waiting for her. In the room with a window in the corner I found truth. And was reborn, in a way. Thank you Ian and the lads for comforting the misery of that night.
Aquí está la escuela de muchas bandas, grupazo, post-punk de alto nivel, adelantados en su tiempo y siguen vigentes, larga vida para Joy Division👌
These videos don't do justice to the amazing music.
This one is a classic. It was made 2012 Joy Division - Shadowplay ruclips.net/video/YbxlE5p0RPQ/видео.html
@@NapoleonBonapartepdrquay yeah yours is better
True..
then just listen
facts
I don’t know why most of you didn’t like the video !! I actually think it’s a good one.. there is nothing better than seeing people vibing with a song that is legendary
I love this video. epecially its first part! The all darkness, mystery and conspiratorial "massive heading to somewhere" in the beginning, the camera's close-ups to the hasty and eager hands and feet, the frenzied dionysiac dancing of the people with the camera closing-up and micro-pausing on their ecstatic faces... I mean the video seems a little bit amateurish but I guess that was the idea...And its director seems to be big time director...
This song never ages.. thanks for keeping it going strong...!
My 2nd favourite Joy Division song closely behind A New Dawn Fades ❤️
New dawn fades gives me chills
Ceremony is best then this
To the centre of the city
Where all roads meet waiting for you
To the depths of the ocean
Where all hopes sank searching for you
I was moving through the silence
Without motion, waiting for you
In a room with no window
In the corner I found truth
In the shadowplay, acting out your
Own death, knowing no more
As the assassins all grouped
In four lines, dancing on the floor
And with cold steel, odour on their bodies
Made a move to connect
But I could only stare in disbelief
As the crowds all left
I did everything, everything I wanted to
I let them use you for their own ends
To the centre of the city
In the night waiting for you
To the centre of the city
In the night waiting for you
one of my most preferred songs in life.
"lol, this is dumb" - Ian Curtis
@@SurftonsMusicOfficial stfu
@@joshbaino3087 all right John
@@joshbaino3087 I don't like self-promo either but come on, be nice
@@sweetnuthin no
@@Robobotic thank you for contributing
From the first LP. The instant talent of all four members, after having basically just picked up their instruments and playing, shortly after seeing Sex Pistols live. Bernards guitar is unbelievable!
So cool! Everything about it - vocals, lyrics, guitar, bass, drums, production. Nice work on the video too! 👍
The outro solo is spectacular in its simplicity. What a closure to a great song!
This is a masterpiece
The darkness is there. This is a good video.
Is it so difficult to create a good Joy Division video❓⁉️ Listen to the words and let it flow❗️🎶🎵🖤
Fan vids are way better.
@@cowsharkdefin6376 YES! They should have opened it up to fans
The best Joy Division video I saw was a fan montage of Disorder/2001 by Kubrick. Still gives me goosebumps.
I think it's still on RUclips.
Right the video with clips from Kubricks' 2001 A space odyssey! That one is amazing it gives me chills too. That was the perfect video for that song
Simples e emocionante ! atemporal !
There music is unique and immediate, like they captured a moment that goes by.
I cant stop listening to this
I closed my eyes and remembered college years. Much better video tbh.
amazing music and an amazing mix
Melancholisch und sehr bewegend und gleichzeitig lebendig. Philosophie auch dabei...
What a Song!!! Amazing 😭😭😭
excelente banda !! un sonido unico y adelantado a su tiempo , saludos desde mexico =)
Solamente un tano llamado Luca Prodan llegado a Argentina pudo hacer algo parecido con su banda Sumo
El sonido de la bateria, es increíble!!!
this song is perfect for doing or observing literally anything in the world
Just so good
My fav joy division track . They dont bands like this anymore . Check out new order too
Best joy division song hands down👌
Ceremony might have something to say about that! Still an amazing track
@@martyrick7343 hands down🫡
I recently watched hooky sing this and wow was it amazing. Had a moment in the crowd where i fell silent and all around me was like a dream.
Absolute awesomeness 😊❤️🌹🎼🎶
Dont worry about me, im already dead
-joy divison legacy
Dead is the transformation for your next life there is no end
Their legacy will never die despite the random fools who try and become a part of it... their legacy is set in stone
I love this song!
Dark light, dark night the best never dies🥂🥂
Sufi whirling (or Sufi turning Turkish Semazen dervish) suits to the video very well here
I like this song soo much
-Una Verdadera Belleza 🖤
My favorite sounds!
I love this visual interpretation of the song. It's the prettiest way to listen to it.❤
Pour moi Joy Division est un météorite venu de l'espace percute l'univers du rock,un son et une atmosphère unique et intemporel !!!!
C'est une excellente description. C'est comme s'ils défilaient devant nos yeux et nos oreilles, et nous nous sommes dit : qu'est-ce que c'était que ça?
Man...I love this song!
Crank it upppp give that joy division music pleaseeeee👍👍👍🤘🤘🤘🤘
O melhorzinho até agora...
Ritmo contagiante!! 🖤🖤🖤
vrd , gosta new order tambem ? . tem bom gosto
Love this song, always have.. and always is a long time..
This song was 44 years ahead of its time
"Joy Division? Who are that? Oh from Manchester, eh? Where's that? England, huh? What else is from Manchester? Raves? I know what a rave is. OK, let's make a black and white video of a rave. Only takes a few hours, we need no props except a fake DJ, and it'll look artsy."
Lennart Regebro best comment haha
Hahahahaha exactly xDD
I discovered them when I was a teenager in the late 90s.I love that they have a twirling dervish at the end To make a long story short I learned about(Turkish)dervishes when my best friend got me a tarot card set for my birthday when I was a teenager . They spin to get closer to God, kind of like meditation. Years later my husband occasionally gives me an odd look when he catches me spinning every few years... 🍻❤ Happy Thanksgiving
In the end, legend has it, she never came
This is incredible.... so much love!
Temazo!!!!...
This is the definitely the best video out of the new ones so far
Que rolononon !!!!!!!!
Som Atemporal, uma das minhas bandas favoritas
la guitarra en esta cancion me da vida
Just so good.
Great visual interpretation. Each to their own.
his voice is so amazing... :(
Actually liked this one. Much closer to how I feel when I listen to Shadowplay
Espectacular aguante Joy división loko
Absolute tune !!!!
I'm searching Joy Division in 2019, and finding new content :)
My favourite track from one of my favourite ever bands
I love this song.
Shear Magic, ian curtis voice, powerful.
This is the famous cut scene of the rave party among zombies in Romero's movie "Night of the Living Dead"
Are you kidding me... pure genius!
Ive liked joy division for 2 years and i truly did not expect this
Som de primeira! Muito legal!
i think this is the best of all the reimagined videos.
What a beautiful thing.
This music feeds my soul
Joy Division is one of those bands that don't need music videos. In fact, seeing the band performing live is way better than this.
well that wasnt happening 7 months after unknown pleasures came out bro. this is all we have now
Who are the people making these things and have they actually listened to the music? They miss the point of every song and add banal, meaningless juxtaposed drivel to iconically dark and deep songs that deserve much more respect. Thought it was going to go somewhere interesting for a minute... it became quickly apparent not. My favourite of an awful bunch. A DJ!? ‘This is an outrage!’.
👏 Well said.
Agreed
i completely agree
You are totally right !
Well since this is the official Joy Division video don't you think the members of Joy Division would have something to do with it? So you're sitting there bitching about what they wanted
THIS MUSIC ALL TIME GOAT IN MA LIFE
I generally hate the ads but somehow this track came up as an ad and reminded me . Great stuff, Hard to believe it's nearly 40 years old
Моя любимая песня этой группы, да и вообще любимая.
No hay video que pueda representar la grandeza de las canciones de unknown pleasures , ningun corto estuvo a la altura de tan maravilloso album , una pena .
❤❤❤
Que buen tema lpm
Un sueño de noche, la música y el baile del video, linda combinación.
pensé lo mismo, es perfecto
It kills me that people who apparently heard this many years ago are complaining about the graphics.
Just close your eyes, enjoy the music, and make up your own images, as we all did when we first heard it.
