I'm now 55 yrs old. When Ian left the earth as we know it I was so innocent and nieve. I loved/ love this band. I couldn't wrap my head around Ian's death. I, to this very day, miss him dearly. I'll never forget you.
Hi, check this for another example of tortured soul bringing hopes and Joy... Inspired by Coronavirus crisis. Kad & his son Ian together. ruclips.net/video/wq4-wcT8mVI/видео.html
Lot of people thinks to joy division music as sad music.. i don't.. there is a difference between quality and crap, that makes you feel happy for only one second and at last, all the good feeling desappears.. and doesn't make you think as you listen to it.. i love jd music because it makes me travel whit my emotions.. exploring myself.. this is what makes music eternal. ❤
I’m sure his wife felt tortured when she found out that Ian cheated on her for years with a reporter but was possessive and meanwhile she couldn’t be with other men. Why do people speak on him as being a good person just because he has epilepsy??
When Keanu Reeves' said that this was the one song he could listen to for the rest of his life, I had to re-visit it. Haven't heard this in such a long time.
I feel like it's the little things that keep us going. My job sucks. My girlfriend cheated on me. I live in a shitty, noisy apartment. But I get strength and happiness from the small things in life. The sun. The rain. Helping an elderly person. Saying hi to random strangers. Holding the door open for someone. It makes me feel good.
I lost a best friend to an intentional Heroin overdose, and we both attended the Tom Savini , Special Makeup Effects Course. I was crushed , when I got the call , that Billy had died. I miss him , so much . We use to listen to Joy Division every day. We both worked in the film industry.
From a certain point of view my life sucks, in my 20s with not a lot money, balding , not popular by any means, but I feel like I am so lucky to have a rich appreciation of music and art and a deep fascination for the things that most would consider trivial. It’s music like this that makes me feel lucky that I’m alive, and that no matter where I am in life, I will always be able to find fulfillment in the little things
Dude, hang in there. I was balding throughout my twenties. It hurt my self esteem. But I kept the faith, worked hard at what I loved, and eventually married a beautiful, loving woman. She had been in bad relationships with unfaithful men. She was attracted to my honesty and character. She knew I wouldn't cheat and never did. Now we are old but she is still gorgeous to me. Never give up and keep trying til you find the right one.
I totally get it. My life is shit right now but I find joy in music. I had to find an escape in my adolescent years and beyond. Music and books were my solace. I don't have everything I want, but I have everything I need. ❤
HI BROTHER U ARE SPECIAL LIKE ALL GODS CHILDREN NEVER SAY U NOT POPULAR U DONT NEED ALOT MONEY ,, REM . U ARE HERE CAUSE GOD LOVES U. FROM EDDIE CUZ PEACE MY BROTHER. N.Y.C
I am 56 now and this song and others from joy division follow me since ever. First in a cassette, LP, then CD now in an iPhone and my Tesla. Love it forever.
So timeless. Young people are still finding inspiration from Ian Curtis and his music close to 50 years on. I think it would have been very comforting to him to know that.
Now 40 years since their last concert, Ian's suicide and the band's subsequent breakup. Even the fact they were only around for 3 years doesn't diminish the legacy or influence they continue to have. However mental health still remains a stigma 40 years later. It's ok not to be ok, don't be afraid of speaking to your family or mates. Love Will Tear Us Apart at some point in our lives, but it will also bring us closer together.
@@melissalove2463 You're not old, I was 18 when this came out. It hit me hard, and it has never stopped hitting me. Great music helps us transcend time.
This has always been my all time favourite song. Nothing has ever come close. It was just the song- it held no memories like some songs. Recent events in my life have given this song new meaning for me after 40 years. It’s almost prophetic now 😢
His wife. His mistress. His band mates. Everyone close to him didn’t know how depressed he is. Not until they read all the lyrics after he passed did they realize all their songs was his cry for help. Rip Ian.
Big Country's Stuart Adamson was in a similar dark place. His band mates didn't know until late on in the bands career. Tragically ended his life in a Hawaii hotel room. Big loss.
Just enjoy this magic music that has affected so many people in a positive, happy way. So good that you enjoy this fabulous music, nothing will ever replace it, we can ONLY enjoy what was. Simply magic.
42 years ago today. Imagine how amazed he would be if he learned his music would be listened to by tens of millions of people. Rip Ian! We still miss you to this day. ;(
Getting old is great, just think about the people that didn't even made it this far from your private life, but I can agree to be old can suck sometimes, that is just life. xD
In a little over half an hour Ian would have left us 44 years ago Wish he could have got the help he needed. He'll never know how much he is missed and how he is now regarded as one of the greatest musical icons. RIP Ian , son , brother , husband and father.
If you analize, the performance of Ian was from his deepest part of the heart, he closed his eyes and sticked his mouth to the microphone. A very emotional person.
I discovered Joy Division back in the 80's as a young teenager. It was like discovering a mysterious object from outer space, or some ancient stone tablet covered in mystic runes. Their songs are so emotional and compelling but mysterious and otherworldly at the same time. You experience Joy Division, but you never really "understand" them. That's a compliment, and a quality of all great art--the mystery of it. The depth. Like the unfathomable depth and beauty of the ocean.
I Love the segment at the end where the vocals end and the music kind of carries on for a minute longer. It always gives me feeling inside my chest. Almost like its trying to touch my heart, or perhaps my soul. Thank You for this music.
If you ever have the chance to read this bands autobiography. Do so. It truly is one of the most darkest, human emotional and alive experience you will ever get from such a work of art. RIP Ian Curtis.
I've read many books on Joy Division and you're right there really is a darkness too his life. I think the man was a genius. The film "Control" in my opinion was really well done. It was a sad loss when he passed away and although New Order are a great band I often wonder what other great songs Ian Curtis could have given us. "Love Will Tear Us Apart" in my opinion has to be one of the greatest songs of all time. No matter how many times I've heard it it still sounds good every time and to be honest I rarely only listen to it once at a time I have to press repeat a few times, which is the sign of a good song.
There is something in the essence of this song that is so heartfelt and so real, that anyone from whatever background can connect with it. If you have loved and lost, this is what it feels like - tragic, because it hurts so much, but beautiful,, because you know that nothing will ever quite feel the same again... You will never reclaim that moment, the moment where you were there together and nothing will tear you apart, but you will never forget it either....
Joy Division were well beyond their time. There are very few bands whose melodies and music stir such emotion. Never tire of hearing this beautiful song.
It's 2024... it's been 44 years since you've been with us... it's unbelievable to me. what did you go through, what did you go through.. I don't know how long I will live, but thanks to this music and your other music, it is easier to survive the days... this life is hard to fight and fight, to fight the war with myself and the things around me.. .I discovered you 4 years ago when I was 11, which may not be much, but during that time I realized that your music and stuff was amazing. your music saves me better than drugs. I'm counting the days, how much time I have left here, I gave myself a day or two a few months ago, but I'm still here. I write poems, lyrics, play guitar and piano. these save me.. I will buy the other vinyls from Joy division but what I want the most and know I will have forever is a Joy division concert. I love you and miss you so much! whoever is part of this punk/post punk subculture tour will remember you forever! I know you can't read this and feel my love, but if I'm not here anymore, I won't survive tomorrow, all this will be in my heart forever and I will remember you! I am proud of what you have achieved! thanks for everything Ian! From Hungary. -Luca
I hope you stay. When I was 15 I almost left the planet - I had run away from home, I was ditching school, got pregnant from first time, boyfriend left me, SO many things. I let music help me through my pain - I was 13 when this song was released. I have had SO MANY amazing days since then. This life can be SO painful but it is WORTH IT! Stick around and live big. All of us other humans need you here.
God bless you and please stay here. If not for the fact that you understand pain and what it feels like... So now try the next feeling, called JOY, and give that a go.
this brings back so many memories from the past, sometimes to the point of melancholy but you gotta turn it around and let it bring you hope for what's to come
Ian Curtis was buried in Macclesfield Cemetery, in Cheshire, England. His grave bears the inscription "Love Will Tear Us Apart", the title of one of Joy Division's most famous songs, which poignantly reflects his emotional state leading up to his death. His passing remains a deeply tragic moment in music history, and his work continues to influence countless musicians and bands to this day.
I've always loved this song. Most recently this song makes me think of my friend Elyse who recently passed away. I hope where she is, she's sleeping peacefully.
It is an incredibly personal song, with so much depth. I had the privilege of seeing Joy Division live and although much time as passed since, this song retains it power to move me.
Oh my gosh, I am so sorry for your loss... and his. Please know that you are never alone, and that it's not lack of love that tore you apart, but the presence of love that will always keep you together ❤
it’s absolutely terrifying how less than a month after this was filmed Ian took his own life. Nobody in this video looks very energetic or even happy. It’s like the trauma that was waiting for them was truly there.
He had epilepsy and depression.. Two of my many companions. It's good I got on opiate replacement therapy, or I'd be dead of fentanyl no doubt. My friend died by overdose Halloween night.
Awesome, I'm late to the Joy Division party but impressed. Deep, emotion filled music with a haunting yet comforting sound. This is why I love RUclips. Too young at the time to appreciate this music but the RUclips time machine let me briefly relive that era.👏🏾
hiiii , if u like this song check out ( wait a minute by the impures ) is another good underrated af song, a hidden gem i think.. .sssssssssssssssssssss .vvvvvvvvvvvvv .vvvvvvvvvvvv . ., vvvvvvvvvvv . . ., vvvvvvvvvvv . . ., s
So so sad. If ever there was an example of what might have been...then Joy Division was it. Please everyone don't judge others until you know the status of their life. R.I.P. I. C
I came here because I suddenly felt slightly upbeat and positive. I needed some Ian Curtis to bring me back to reality and remind me why I'm single. Thanks Ian!
On this day, 36 years ago. A young dead soul who existed on the best terms he could made a fatal mistake searching for another day. He had the spirit but lost the feeling and gave us everything and more but the strain was too much and couldn't take much more. He felt it closing in, day in, day out, day in, day out as love tore him apart. Still touching from a distance, his heart and soul will never fade a away from the shadowplay.
40 years ago today I got the call at my office TJM Records & Practice Rooms that Ian Curtis had killed himself . This video was filmed only a month or so in their practice room in our building on Little Peter Street in Knott Mill before Ian's death . R.IP. Ian x
@@tonyajsmith8829 Because you can? ..say anything... No the question is not whether Can you, or anyone, say any old thing. It's a request for some kind of logic to support what you said. I thought you knew something I didn't about the cover artist's motives..but you don't. I don't know the cover artiists motives either and i'm not going to txt him to find out. But knowing him, he loved the song and gave it his all in shining a light on it.
My younger brother committed suicide last weekend by overdosing on something. He was found with headphones on, presumably listening to something. This is his youtube account. He made a playlist containing 6 songs that was edited the day he passed. This is one of the 6 songs. With the method he used, he was dead after about 30 minutes, probably unconscious around 12 minutes. I like to think that it was peaceful for him with his music on. I love you Darius, I'll miss you everyday for the rest of my life
I’m terribly sorry for your loss. From experience, be and do what he can’t. Your bother chose a different path. Leave an indelible legacy. You matter more than you’ll ever realize.
44 years since his death, he would have been 68 years old on July 15th, 2024. I’m now the same age as Ian was, hard for me to picture being in his same shoes, dealing with the struggles he had, I can empathize. I wish there was something that could have been done to save him from ending his life. Rest easy Ian, we love and miss you
The more I look for songs that have the same emotional and psychological impact as these lyrics, the more I realize there aren't any, and I feel more and more alone. I'm just glad there are other people that understand these lyrics out there somewhere, even if I will never be able to confirm that with my eyes.
you reminded me of a Theodore Sturgeon short story "A Saucer of Loneliness" Warning it starts with someone stopping a suicide attempt. But it's amazing.
This is real live depiction of this mans emotion and its not fake. Apparently even the band didn't know this guy wasn't acting and the music was him. Its heavier than just some dude on stage singing meaningless lyrics.
Cody Dalgai He means the singer committed suicide shortly after this video was filmed, the other band members have said they regret not looking at the deeper meaning to his lyrics and intervening before it was too late
@@mariasandraamador9109 WE, ALL of us, are actually, and eventuallly alone, BUT , in fact we are NOT, because we are ALL a part of the great WHATEVER. I do not feel LONELY anymore when I am alone. Not having a romantic partner is not necessarily alone. And, it does not guarantee or imply loneliness. I am glad you shared. You are brave.
I almost screamed out of happiness when I heard this yesterday in the final The Grand Tour episode! Plus seeing James May wearing the Joy Division t-shirt was the cherry on top! I'm so glad they did this in the finale. A brilliant little titbit for the send off of the show.
When routine bites hard And ambitions are low And resentment rides high But emotions won't grow And we're changing our ways, taking different roads Then love, love will tear us apart again Love, love will tear us apart again Why is the bedroom so cold? You've turned away on your side Is my timing that flawed? Our respect runs so dry Yet there's still this appeal That we've kept through our lives But love, love will tear us apart again Love, love will tear us apart again You cry out in your sleep All my failings exposed And there's a taste in my mouth As desperation takes hold Just that something so good just can't function no more But love, love will tear us apart again Love, love will tear us apart again Love, love will tear us apart again Love, love will tear us apart again
bro i get so sad everytime i listen to this song. ian deserved to live, he deserved to be happy and see how impactful joy division's songs would be. how can life be this unfair...

he had a wife and young baby that he left at home whilst he travelled, during his travels he cheated on his wife with a French lady, he couldn't choose between the two this lead to depression. Plus he suffered from epilepsy (which the people around him didn't understand, they just though he was stupid) so he killed himself.

If you analize, the performance of Ian was from his deepest part of the heart, he closed his eyes and sticked his mouth to the microphone. A very emotional person.

Worst song ever…sorry. Just mumbling. I was there for all of the 80’s, in 5 states. Never heard this, thank god

Expressions sometimes don't get realised until it's sadly to late😢 RIP IAN

I discovered Joy Division back in the 80's as a young teenager. It was like discovering a mysterious object from outer space, or some ancient stone tablet covered in mystic runes. Their songs are so emotional and compelling but mysterious and otherworldly at the same time. You experience Joy Division, but you never really "understand" them. That's a compliment, and a quality of all great art--the mystery of it. The depth. Like the unfathomable depth and beauty of the ocean.
I Love the segment at the end where the vocals end and the music kind of carries on for a minute longer. It always gives me feeling inside my chest. Almost like its trying to touch my heart, or perhaps my soul. Thank You for this music.
Yep 😪😪😪
Ian curtis RIP so sad good singer sadley missed fave song up there with god ian
Yes. I feel it too.

If you ever have the chance to read this bands autobiography. Do so. It truly is one of the most darkest, human emotional and alive experience you will ever get from such a work of art. RIP Ian Curtis.
I did, 'touching from a distance' wrote by his wife.
Koen Van Overstraeten where can I get this book?
'touching from a distance' by Deborah Curtis, found it in a bookwebshop, Amazon has it for sure.
'Control' is a movie about his life.
I've read many books on Joy Division and you're right there really is a darkness too his life. I think the man was a genius. The film "Control" in my opinion was really well done. It was a sad loss when he passed away and although New Order are a great band I often wonder what other great songs Ian Curtis could have given us. "Love Will Tear Us Apart" in my opinion has to be one of the greatest songs of all time. No matter how many times I've heard it it still sounds good every time and to be honest I rarely only listen to it once at a time I have to press repeat a few times, which is the sign of a good song.
“I love beautiful melodies telling me terrible things.”
Highly recommended: The Smiths - There Is A Light That Never Goes Out
also highly recommended: another sunny day - 'you should all be murdered' (and actually most of the smiths' songs but they've already been mentioned)
Tom waits!
Theres nothing like unknown pleasures and closer, Joy Divison was a watershed in my life, one of the bands of my life. Ian Curtis lives eternally.
in a few hours it's gonna be 41 years since we love you Ian
Something drew me here, didn’t realise the date :(
fun fact, im named after this legend

31 on day 23 and still listen
I am 60 now and this song makes me still feel the angst and unsure teenage feelings. Great song.
As Bono said, “the voice of an Angel”. One of the greatest songs ever written imo.
A compliment from a tuneless hypocrite like fucking Bono is REALLY worth having (not).........
Bono is a c*nt though, so why would anyone care about his opinion?

I'm a 53 year old woman now, this is still one of those tunes that takes me back to 1985 when I discovered Joy Division...still looking for love
I'm 56 I agree with you it's like an instant flashback
You've got it lambie... it's inside YOU... not someone else... be groovy, we're all in this together....🤗👍🏴❤️xx
Thank you lan for a great song rip lan ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
There is something in the essence of this song that is so heartfelt and so real, that anyone from whatever background can connect with it. If you have loved and lost, this is what it feels like - tragic, because it hurts so much, but beautiful,, because you know that nothing will ever quite feel the same again... You will never reclaim that moment, the moment where you were there together and nothing will tear you apart, but you will never forget it either....
That’s what you call a track. Different class . Almost 50 years of age and this track keeps going
Joy Division were well beyond their time. There are very few bands whose melodies and music stir such emotion. Never tire of hearing this beautiful song.

51 years old, Joy Division is still on every playlist.
It's 2024... it's been 44 years since you've been with us... it's unbelievable to me. what did you go through, what did you go through.. I don't know how long I will live, but thanks to this music and your other music, it is easier to survive the days... this life is hard to fight and fight, to fight the war with myself and the things around me.. .I discovered you 4 years ago when I was 11, which may not be much, but during that time I realized that your music and stuff was amazing. your music saves me better than drugs. I'm counting the days, how much time I have left here, I gave myself a day or two a few months ago, but I'm still here. I write poems, lyrics, play guitar and piano. these save me.. I will buy the other vinyls from Joy division but what I want the most and know I will have forever is a Joy division concert. I love you and miss you so much! whoever is part of this punk/post punk subculture tour will remember you forever!
I know you can't read this and feel my love, but if I'm not here anymore, I won't survive tomorrow, all this will be in my heart forever and I will remember you! I am proud of what you have achieved! thanks for everything Ian!
From Hungary. -Luca
I hope you stay. When I was 15 I almost left the planet - I had run away from home, I was ditching school, got pregnant from first time, boyfriend left me, SO many things. I let music help me through my pain - I was 13 when this song was released.
I have had SO MANY amazing days since then. This life can be SO painful but it is WORTH IT!
Stick around and live big. All of us other humans need you here.
Stay, there is more to see.
I hope you are still here. Big hugs.
God bless you and please stay here. If not for the fact that you understand pain and what it feels like... So now try the next feeling, called JOY, and give that a go.
this brings back so many memories from the past, sometimes to the point of melancholy but you gotta turn it around and let it bring you hope for what's to come
Top comment man, exactly how I’m feeling 👌😉

Ian Curtis was buried in Macclesfield Cemetery, in Cheshire, England. His grave bears the inscription "Love Will Tear Us Apart", the title of one of Joy Division's most famous songs, which poignantly reflects his emotional state leading up to his death. His passing remains a deeply tragic moment in music history, and his work continues to influence countless musicians and bands to this day.
I dig ur comment.
I've always loved this song. Most recently this song makes me think of my friend Elyse who recently passed away. I hope where she is, she's sleeping peacefully.
f
God bless you xx
So brilliant. Desperate and lively at the same time. A timeless song
Lo puoi dire forte, la più bella canzone di sempre
It is an incredibly personal song, with so much depth. I had the privilege of seeing Joy Division live and although much time as passed since, this song retains it power to move me.
Oh my gosh, I am so sorry for your loss... and his. Please know that you are never alone, and that it's not lack of love that tore you apart, but the presence of love that will always keep you together ❤
it’s absolutely terrifying how less than a month after this was filmed Ian took his own life. Nobody in this video looks very energetic or even happy. It’s like the trauma that was waiting for them was truly there.
excellent observation! u are 100% correct
He actually tried to kill himself for the first time a few weeks before shooting this video
:-(
Ian does look like he’s suffering in this video.
@@michele2855 What is "good singing" ma'am?
Art is subjective. You might not vibe with it doesn't mean its "not good"

Masterclass. 🙏
One of the greatest songs of all time. Rip Ian Curtis
Ian Curtis, talent beyond belief. One of a kind. What a band Joy Division were, years and years ahead of their time!
What a great song!
The closed eyes, the petrified face, the deep sad voice.
I feel Ians inner pain.
He really had a way of conveying that to others.
@@latkagravas986What happened?😢

He had epilepsy and depression.. Two of my many companions. It's good I got on opiate replacement therapy, or I'd be dead of fentanyl no doubt. My friend died by overdose Halloween night.
One of the most saddest deaths of the history of rock, we miss you every day Ian, Joy Division 4 ever
“When routine bites hard”
One of the greatest opening lyrics in a song ever! Forever a masterpiece!
Totally
Those moments in time......those tunes and personalities that hold that moment in time.....that time you remember.
Awesome, I'm late to the Joy Division party but impressed. Deep, emotion filled music with a haunting yet comforting sound. This is why I love RUclips. Too young at the time to appreciate this music but the RUclips time machine let me briefly relive that era.👏🏾

Joy Division is timeless. There's no late to this party.
38 years he's been gone today. His legacy will live forever. RIP Ian
Hopefully.
Curtis we're still here listening. So definitely ;)
So so sad. If ever there was an example of what might have been...then Joy Division was it. Please everyone don't judge others until you know the status of their life. R.I.P. I. C
I came here because I suddenly felt slightly upbeat and positive. I needed some Ian Curtis to bring me back to reality and remind me why I'm single. Thanks Ian!
applies to me as well, sad but true.
Smile I feel ya
It is not his fault

Raised a giggle
Joy division is the band that should play for eternity
On this day, 36 years ago. A young dead soul who existed on the best terms he could made a fatal mistake searching for another day. He had the spirit but lost the feeling and gave us everything and more but the strain was too much and couldn't take much more. He felt it closing in, day in, day out, day in, day out as love tore him apart. Still touching from a distance, his heart and soul will never fade a away from the shadowplay.
beautiful
utter drivel written as bollocks doggerel.
People who commit suicide aren't heroic nor should they immortalized.
+Tan We should sympathize with people who commit suicide and understand their suffering rather than immortalize or shame them.
40 years ago today I got the call at my office TJM Records & Practice Rooms that Ian Curtis had killed himself . This video was filmed only a month or so in their practice room in our building on Little Peter Street in Knott Mill before Ian's death . R.IP. Ian x
i feel your pain!
I love him
I had always wondered if this was in Macc - thanks bud - I'm now trying to think in me head where though lol
@@tonyajsmith8829 Why do you say that?
@@tonyajsmith8829 Because you can? ..say anything... No the question is not whether Can you, or anyone, say any old thing. It's a request for some kind of logic to support what you said. I thought you knew something I didn't about the cover artist's motives..but you don't. I don't know the cover artiists motives either and i'm not going to txt him to find out. But knowing him, he loved the song and gave it his all in shining a light on it.
We are all 53. And still loving and falling apart. Love you Ian

I suffer from Bipolar with Mania and Epilepsy, with Schizoeffective Disorder / RIP Ian, never will be forgotten..... Here in 2024
My younger brother committed suicide last weekend by overdosing on something. He was found with headphones on, presumably listening to something. This is his youtube account. He made a playlist containing 6 songs that was edited the day he passed. This is one of the 6 songs. With the method he used, he was dead after about 30 minutes, probably unconscious around 12 minutes. I like to think that it was peaceful for him with his music on. I love you Darius, I'll miss you everyday for the rest of my life
My condolences..
Sorry for you loss. What were the other 5 if you don't mind answering?
Sending love and healing vibes your way. Grief of that nature never really goes away, but it gets easier. 💛
Sorry for your loss
I’m terribly sorry for your loss. From experience, be and do what he can’t. Your bother chose a different path. Leave an indelible legacy. You matter more than you’ll ever realize.
Yet there's still this appeal that we've kept through our lives.
Cover more joy division please!!
44 years since his death, he would have been 68 years old on July 15th, 2024. I’m now the same age as Ian was, hard for me to picture being in his same shoes, dealing with the struggles he had, I can empathize. I wish there was something that could have been done to save him from ending his life. Rest easy Ian, we love and miss you
The more I look for songs that have the same emotional and psychological impact as these lyrics, the more I realize there aren't any, and I feel more and more alone. I'm just glad there are other people that understand these lyrics out there somewhere, even if I will never be able to confirm that with my eyes.
you reminded me of a Theodore Sturgeon short story "A Saucer of Loneliness" Warning it starts with someone stopping a suicide attempt. But it's amazing.
Hi I recommend a song & video called 'Looking Into The Mirror' By Robert Nix
You're chatting nonsense and not looking hard enough
'Like a monkey in a zoo" is similar
This kind of power, and love is lost today. People are no longer real, just imagined versions wanting to be of real substance.
This is real live depiction of this mans emotion and its not fake. Apparently even the band didn't know this guy wasn't acting and the music was him. Its heavier than just some dude on stage singing meaningless lyrics.
Cody Dalgai He means the singer committed suicide shortly after this video was filmed, the other band members have said they regret not looking at the deeper meaning to his lyrics and intervening before it was too late
Yes, they did not for instance realize that She lost control was really about Ian. It refers to his seizures.
Pretending not to see his gun I said let's go out and have some fun. But now I know the perfect kiss is the kiss of death.
This is a song I could listen to over and over. The words can have different meanings each time they are heard. Great jam!
Absolutely
Happy birthday Ian you would have been 68 we all love you
This one is for everyone like myself who's alone on Valentine's day
That's me...always alone

I almost screamed out of happiness when I heard this yesterday in the final The Grand Tour episode! Plus seeing James May wearing the Joy Division t-shirt was the cherry on top! I'm so glad they did this in the finale. A brilliant little titbit for the send off of the show.
When routine bites hard
And ambitions are low
And resentment rides high
But emotions won't grow
And we're changing our ways, taking different roads
Then love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
Why is the bedroom so cold?
You've turned away on your side
Is my timing that flawed?
Our respect runs so dry
Yet there's still this appeal
That we've kept through our lives
But love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
You cry out in your sleep
All my failings exposed
And there's a taste in my mouth
As desperation takes hold
Just that something so good just can't function no more
But love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
Poetry, mate

...I feel Ian's depression when i see and hear him again. So sad. There was never a happy sound in his voice. We all need love. So did he. Bless him.
Annemarie Lesage you should listen to one of our new singles if you’re into post-punk! Would appreciate it thank you 🖤
he had a wife and young baby that he left at home whilst he travelled, during his travels he cheated on his wife with a French lady, he couldn't choose between the two this lead to depression. Plus he suffered from epilepsy (which the people around him didn't understand, they just though he was stupid) so he killed himself.
He had love. A chemical imbalance is what he suffered from.
Annemarie Lesage stay strong. We, as a collection of people are here for you
