[@marguskiis7711]

+rick bishop Hey, man just compare those two songs. Musically they are very similar. Similar rhythm section, similar melody, similar mood. Only instrumentation and producing makes them quite different but not very much. And check out the lyrics too. What the words of the both songs are talking about? Pretty the same thing. Just Vince is not genius as a lyricist (Ian was), so his lyrics is not so intense and flattering. But not bad at all.

[@marguskiis7711]

+rick bishop JD had huge impact to the british indie scene 1979 -- 80 and it is fact, not myth. JD was not found posthumously, their both albums had large influence. Both went gold, btw, so they sold enough to be more than favourities of some dozen freaks. . DM is a part of british indie scene for 35 years and they had been influenced by JD much more than by Human League for example.

[@paulalouise2013]

[@mattt5228]

As somebody with neuro problems that without medication I cannot walk, I connect with this song. I listen to it almost every day and the lyrics truly come close to home. I do have the spirit. Take the shock away. Rest in peace Ian. I wish medical knowledge was better in your Era and you could have gotten the help you deserve.

[@maxjares561]

wow this makes me sad. I think Ian wanted to die though.

[@mattt5228]

@Max Jareš He probably did. I may be wrong, but I feel if he had better medical treatment, his epilepsy wouldn't have weighed so heavily on his mind. I know he made ither poor choices that ate at him til he died. One was he cheated at least once. I don't see his choices as making him a malicious person. His mental health along with his epilepsy caused so many mental health problems, that his depression took control most od the time. Especially with epilepsy it messes with the chemical balances within the brain, already causing anxiety, depression, and sometimes even effects the way a person perceives things. I truly think he would have had a better life with better medical attention. But that is simply speculation as well as my perception while being introspective. I do not have epilepsy but I do have neuro problems that make life for me sometimes extremely difficult. With modern medicine and knowledge we have now, I'm getting treatment I need to help get back on track.

[@maxjares561]

@@mattt5228 Yeah I get where you're coming from. It would've been better if he got the treatment for sure, I just think he was so down there was no way back for him anyway. Well best of luck to you, I can't really imagine what it must be like.

[@mattt5228]

@Max Jareš Yeah, at certain points with neurological problems like epilepsy, certain parts of the disorder truly are gone after a few decades of the issue. To the degree, he probably would have need brain surgery that would have basically his brain onto 2 separate pieces right and left to disconnect the signal issues from causing his seizures. Also, Thank you my friend. To be fair, i wouldn't want you or anybody on this planet to feel what it's like to go through this. It has been a long journey for me, but it has made me into the person I want to be patient, forgiving, balanced, and appreciating the small things. I would do thud all over again to learn those lessons. Goodluck if life my friend, I wish you the best. Thank you for taking the time to comment and speak with me. It goes miles.

[@maxjares561]

@@mattt5228 Well, you seem to know quite a lot about this. Basically I feel like he was just trapped in a circle and decided to escape it. It is still kind of weird to think he really lived since he seem to me like such a mythological person almost. Anyway, you're welcome. Thanks for the insight.

"The wrong generation" doesn't exist. Music is timeless.

[@IncredulousMisanthrope]

@Doug Mooney no he didn't. Every generation has things that other generations may lack. Even these days we have bands that may be just as good as those from the 80s....take "Molchat Doma" for example...

[@raiderpdog]

Yep, the music is out there waiting; for the right, open minds to find it. Doesn't matter if the song is 300 years old or 3 months old, timeless music has a way of having the right person find it, sometimes right when they needed it in their life. And then they can't believe how they lived without it.

[@colonelhart5721]

I remember listening to this song fifteen years ago when I was 19. I had this CD and I would listen to it every morning at 7:30am in the winter when it was -30 and still dark, as I was biking to university. I thought my life was collapsing at the time (lol in some ways it was and still is) so this album meant a lot to me. Closer might be even better, but it's also totally past hope (i.e. "The Eternal"). Joy Division were one of a kind.

[@linglingjr]

Colonel Hart this is exactly what I did with NIN.

[@colonelhart5721]

linglingjr I actually got into NIN after Joy Division - the cover of "Dead Souls" was a perfect link - and then I got heavily into NIN. I love most of what Reznor has done but I still think that The Downward Spiral was his masterpiece and the height of his inspiration.

[@linglingjr]

Colonel Hart that's really funny because I got into joy division after discovering that NIN's "dead souls" was a joy division cover. I thought that Ian's voice was laughable for the first time and then I listened to other songs and it grew on me a ton. Now I'm a massive fan.

[@colonelhart5721]

linglingjr I think one music critic's comment about Joy Division's bassist holds true about them and their influence over these decades and the future: "Anyone can play bass like Pete Hook. After they hear him play." I dare say without JD there would be no NIN, I am a HUGE NIN fan, but there are some things no cover could capture. "Shadowplay" for example or the BBC versions of "Exercise One" or "Twenty Four Hours" - there is nothing else like those songs (though goddamn do I love Trent in general and for acknowledging his influences). As we both have good taste in music (lol), I will now stop bothering you - but I would suggest checking out Mad Season - River of Deceit, if you've never heard that song before. I think as much of Curtis lived on in grunge as in industrial.

Ian was epileptic and the complicated part of this was the fact that, at the time, most medicines to manage epilepsy were very experimental. So, Ian had to deal with the demons of his illness and the artificial demons that these new drugs would engender as he would be fighting all these problems in his head. That is also why he supposedly danced like a whirling Dervish on stage. He would have these epileptic episodes on stage and people thought it was part of the act.

[@iio58]

They still are experimental. When someone has epilepsy it isn't clear which one to give them, its still a game of roulette where you have to try several different ones in different doses to find the balance that works for that person. Having seen my girlfriend nearly die twice from it due to dosages being wrong and having to have the police smash into our house when I was away on business to get to her before she choked to death, its a harrowing method to diagnose but still, it's better now than back then for sure.

[@NorwoodingSkullMask]

Joy Division and post punk are more accurate at expressing depression in my opinion, instead of melodic sad songs because depression isn't feeling sad, it's a cold uncaring apathy like the simple and stripped down sound you get from Joy Division.

[@maryburke5423]

Those bands were coming from parts of England that was still bombed out since ww2. Looking back from where we are, I think post punk explored a lot of the trauma left by ww2 that wasn’t talked about in Britain. It also embodied the sense of hopelessness that the Cold War had wrought amongst young people. And yes, punk and post punk music often confronted mental health issues that had never been ok to talk about before.

[@joechill6639]

this is one of the songs that gives me nostalgia for times i haven't experienced or won't again. the moment of clarity in the party where you freeze in time and soak in everything going on around you. The midnight drives through the rain, dimly lit by streetlights. getting lost in the stars with the girl i loved. the feeling of existential loneliness while contemplating life. brings up so many emotions.

Joy Division's music is equal to Picasso...abstract and magnificent.

[@matthieujaeb3003]

Shamus O'Kane What?????(wtf....) JOY DIVISION needs no comparisons

[@mihanich]

***** are you sure he wasn't?

[@davidefuochetti1063]

Picasso era cubista

[@underdawg2743]

yeah sonic abstraction, that's a good description

[@eileenstubington8592]

The 55 second mark is so nice not to mention

[@manicmilam6852]

One of my favorite bands for many years

[@interwebification4473]

the way this song is recorded is such a moment in time.

[@matthewstrauts5427]

What a band .. most underrated band of all time.

[@lllxiilll]

wish I could’ve been there to seen them in their prime, at least once.

[@KarasCyborg]

Sounds like sheet metal warping in the background. One of the best tunes of all times, can't explain why, but it's just something so good and so original. So sad about this man, his light was extinguished way before his time, had so much to give the music industry.

This song is saving lives right now. a timeless classic 🎶🎵

I just stumbled upon this band and I'm not really into this kind of music but for what ever reason I love this I've been going through their stuff an every song so far has just been amazing I don't know how to explain it but it's amazing

[@mattjames4978]

The best things in life are of an acquired taste, I think.

[@longstarbobandy]

No matter how bad or uninteresting film it was it was really awesome when I saw it in the theatres that this song came up in The Crow (Remake) 😊 Especially since I have Epilepsy and was happy this popped up unknowingly ❤

[@ammverdelimon6943]

I've been waiting for a guide to come and take me by the hand Could these sensations make me feel the pleasures of a normal man? Lose sensations, spare the insults, leave them for another day I've got the spirit, lose the feeling Take the shock away It's getting faster, moving faster now It's getting out of hand On the tenth floor, down the back stairs It's a no man's land Lights are flashing, cars are crashing Getting frequent now I've got the spirit, lose the feeling Let it out somehow What means to you, what means to me And we will meet again I'm watching you, I'm watching Oh I'll take no pity from your friends Who is right? Who can tell? And who gives a damn right now? Until the spirit new sensation takes hold Then you know Until the spirit new sensation takes hold Then you know Until the spirit new sensation takes hold Then you know I've got the spirit But lose the feeling I've got the spirit But lose the feeling Feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling

I was born almost EXACTLY 40 years after Ian Curtis... He was born July 15, 1956. I was born July 16, 1996 so I feel as if I can connect with him on a highly spiritual level. I almost hung myself before I even knew who Joy Division was. I was majorly depressed and all that. But anyways, rest easy, Ian. I love you and the rest of the band and what you did, musically. So genius.

[@nboy9155]

Connor Fruth same man.. I feel the exact same way.. I was also born on the exact same date.. I feel like I can relate to his personality if that makes sense

[@andres65080]

Ian actually killed himself on the same day as my birthday, May 19, and apparently one of the last things he did was watch a Werner Herzog movie, whose work I really admire since I would like be a film director myself. I feel very connected to JD, the ending of this song brings tears to my eyes. Too much feeling, too many cold and callous people in the world..

[@braxtonswarroom8297]

This song was in my life in my greatest lows and greatest highs. Timeless.

[@Peter-ix1ym]

Bass line absolutely electric

[@sergiogo._]

This song makes me cry but at the same time it makes me feel happy. It is hard to explain.

[@ronniegunzgroober3647]

sometimes it feels good to feel sad… i get it

[@MrHavq83]

Greatness!❤

[@maisiefreeman8597]

This song dragged me out of some really dark times. Thank you Mr Curtis.

[@uniboni]

One of the my very favorite songs and bands ever.

[@klementtaralevich7798]

indeed!

[@THURGOOD1337]

Just one word, MASTERPIECE!

[@andrewh.8118]

Lights are flashing cars are crashing- epilepsy kicking in and motor function is involuntary?

[@mortalscumm3647]

I listened to this a few days ago like on loop and his voice is so life changing

[@fernews7298]

Siempre que mi mundo se derrumba y estoy al borde del abismo busco consuelo con esta Banda en esta canción en canción en particular , gracias Ian por salvarme la vida tanta veces .

[@robertomiramiraquilla9978]

no estaa solo bro, se como te sientes porque iam curtos jhon lennon seran mis artistas favoritos sus canciones lo que las hace unicas es porque escriben lo que sienten, sus canciones es el libro abierto para ver sus emociones y por eso tienen un gran mensaje y presienten que se bajaran del camino pero quieren dejar una huella que alguna vez existieron y es la verdadera y unica inmortacion... bueno es lo que siento cuando escucho sus canciones y lo cantan con muchas ganas porque se esran expresando como se sienten pero nadie los entienden, y por eso pierden el sentido de seguir cantando y lo demas ya es historia

[@em8991]

The aesthetics of this video match with what I had always associated this song with.

[@underdawg2743]

No one can reach the peak hit by Ian Curtis here. He was an absolute genius, a total 1 off R.I.P.

[@mrinalkantinath1271]

Really enjoy these grainy dark joy division videos...mood

[@kyran1489]

Never realised how quiet the open hi hat was in the mix, great drummer

[@garethjohn6067]

Joy Divisions greatest hits?Simply everything they recorded

[@davidstewart6053]

Introduced to them at 17, two year's after Ian's passing. The impact of hearing the Warsaw bootleg and realizing that whatever was on tape was all there would ever be... Still listen frequently and find myself transported to another age. Four young men who may not have fully grasped what they were doing have made music and many lives better.

[@barrypotter5751]

The whooshing sound on this recording was an old fashioned elovator that Martin hannet recorded for a sound effect works brilliant in the mix

[@megusta4342]

God bless this band for the music they offered us.

Let this generation see and hear what music and originality use to be.
