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
Since there was no year-zero back when the modern calendar was invented, then any year that ends in zero is the last, not the first, year of a given decade; so, 1980 was part of the '70s decade -- not the '80s
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.
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...
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
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.
@@WaterKreature I wonder why you would say that. Sorry, but not so. I must say, though, on that night I definitely wished I hadn't been invited to THAT party, and that I didn't have THAT girlfriend. 😏Fortunately, my life since then has included much better parties and....much better girlfriends.
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.

@@mezykin probably the industrial building roof top where the song was recorded outdoors on a grey sky dawn of an industrial city caught in a perpetual winter wearing the sentiments of Cold War era regalia . The song itself is essentially about no one liking the performance of a band and the singers own personal feelings regarding being exploited yet rejected by fame the lyrics do refer to dancing but how “the crowds all left “..

As someone who is a HUGE fan of Interpol who I believe drew inspiration from these guys (as did so many more) I'm finally going back and listening to them. Truly something special here.
This takes me right back to my first road trip through Europe with my friends in the 80s when we played Joy Division constantly on our late night drives - Now every time I hear Shadowplay then the first word that springs into my mind is Zentrum - To the centre of the city where all roads meet, waiting for you...
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!
Holy effin shit, this is such a great song, and such a beautiful and perfectly reimagined video. I and my cat loved it. And I can remember my old cassette of JD back in 1982, how dark and scary yet pared down and real all of their music and Ian's vocals was to me at that time And it still is.
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?
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
It's about su1c1d3. He (Ian) had started to think of it often by the time he wrote this song. He was searching for the wonan who would save him from doing it. I think he lined up all his prescribed pills for epilepsy and drpression (the assassins) and wondered if it would be enough. Its no coincidence that there's a sound og a gunshot in the chorus. Such an awful waste of a brilliant artist and important person😩

"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."
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 .
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 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
"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?

I like the production on that line they drop the loudness of the drum

Unknown Pleasures truly was a gem of the 80's. A lot of credit goes these guys creating an all new genre.

Hope, he will revert one day if this karma really exists

In a room with a window in the corner I found truth.

And with cold steel, odor on their bodies made a move to connect,

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👌
"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
Melancholisch und sehr bewegend und gleichzeitig lebendig. Philosophie auch dabei...
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

The outro solo is spectacular in its simplicity. What a closure to a great song!
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

@MauBast777 It's ironic that you say that. Bands like Joy Division were certainly seen as that, at their time.
one of my most preferred songs in life.
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
la guitarra en esta cancion me da vida
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.
This is a masterpiece
Listen to this keeps it alive.

Моя любимая песня этой группы, да и вообще любимая.

Love from northern Greece ⛰️
I love this song!
Masterpiece. R.I.P. Ian Curtis.
-Una Verdadera Belleza 🖤
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.
O melhorzinho até agora...
"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
They hate Joy Division becouse Joy Division were for White people. They hate White people
You could probably make a good video using clips from the 90s batman animated series though
I love this visual interpretation of the song. It's the prettiest way to listen to it.❤
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

Man...I love this song!
Let's all stop for a moment and gather together here to appreciate the existence of this song.
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 .
Essa seria a festa dos meus sonhos até todo mundo começar a girar igual ao peão da casa própria!
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
super emotive energetic song
The best of the “reimagined” series
I haven't seen any of these uploads in a while and I hoped they would end, but I'm gonna give that this one wasn't bad.
Which says a lot because even this one isn't very good
Good news.. music never died
Som Atemporal, uma das minhas bandas favoritas
Just so good.
I'm searching Joy Division in 2019, and finding new content :)
Just so good
Absolute tune !!!!
GOD, THIS ROCKS 💗
This great song deserve a better video clip!
