Back here in 2022. Still incredible.

[@hunterxtr33mtonks42]

i'm actually so freaking happy with this cover, they were able to honor the original while still getting their own unique feel across. Couldn't say the same thing for Allday's cover of Never Tear Us Apart...

[@D3adKruzer]

That bass...that bass speaks truth.

[@krashd]

The bass can make or break this tune, the bassist did good.

[@mariearc-en-cejesus5404]

it did my friend. indeed.

[@GemPotagueule]

n_y_p_e To me, Bass is life. Love comes from the Drums, and that's definitely why DnB is a huge part of my life ^^

[@AudioTones67]

Graham Ritchie is his name.

[@Walter5850]

I noticed many covers where they say "why is THIS bedroom so cold" yet in the original it goes "why is THE bedroom so cold" Seems like a minor change, but whenever I hear "this", it sounds so accusatory, like he is asking her directly, as if it is her fault... Whereas, in the original, the question sounds much more rhetorical and reflective.

[@somebody4244]

Walter5850 it really doesn’t matter. The song is somewhat accusatory in the first place, so I find the minor change to fit well.

[@th3gr81]

I agree

[@GemPotagueule]

D L I guess Ian Curtis has chosen the words with caution, lyrics are poems somehow, changing a word makes a big difference. Maybe I biased, cause I'm French, and here we are using so many different words to say the same things, but I really think words, even small ones, matters, and even more when it's Art. After, it's only my point of view.

[@GemPotagueule]

Oh and Walter5850 : your profile pix and the small animal on it, are just adorable xD what kind of cuttie is "it"?

[@JohnSmith-vy4lh]

The Oysterband with June Tabor do the best cover f this song.

[@forthedisenfranchised4366]

Awesome, love the instrumentation, the drumming is brilliant, great tribute.

[@BowieTheKid]

at first I wasn't a fan of this cover, then the drums and the rest of the instruments kicked in and WOW, now we're talking!

[@Det.DrCowboyNinjaCyborgSamurai]

This is a great cover, they really did a great job of keeping that melancholy melody of the original but still made it sound like their own

[@gg0u1239]

I’m not a cryer but this song gets me every time

[@MathildeBlum]

I was so scared to watch it because this song is like a classic that cant be covered to me but holy craaaaap it sounds good they did great job !!!!! 👍

[@sparc0man]

The bass player kept this valiant cover, honorable and true... we done Sir.

[@PhilipDavies62]

I just re-visited this again and remembered why I absolutely loved it first time. Breathtaking.

[@amyhon2000]

I love this Joy Division song and I have heard many, mostly terrible covers....this was GREAT! I actually felt emotional listening to this version, the same way I feel when listening to Joy a Division. I think the reason most covers fail is that the singers are trying to hard to sound like Ian from Joy Division, this singer uses his own voice.

[@davidpatterson2392]

awsome song well covered

[@Gjffhhgsxvjrr]

The cover from the movie"the girl from the song" is brilliant

[@salomaop.7681]

@@Gjffhhgsxvjrr I agree

[@treyphillips3867]

Agreed!! they change the key and make it their own.

[@20yearsinthecan657]

Absolute best version is Nerina pallot ….better than the original imo

[@jeanstrachan3304]

I First heard this song on WLIR in '81. I have heard many covers over the years, you all managed to pay homage to the Joy Division and make it your own . you nailed it. Bravo, and well done.

[@ID-8491]

I couldn't agree more.

[@liammayo577]

Such a good cover boys! Still loving it 4 years later!

[@DLopezP]

They truly gave it their own spin, and IT WORKS!! Love it!! Love Holy Holy so much!

[@sonichhorror]

This was a Beautiful Like a version been waiting so long for someone to do this song and they certainly did it justice!

[@jgakpp]

So much emotion. Simply breathtaking.. I might've shed a tear or two :)

[@rhiannonbruh]

[@kristenbaker2974]

So much love for this cover! Looking forward to hearing what these guys do next.

[@allvisionhq5759]

love this version

[@tomb1978]

this is the best like a version to date.

[@helenstrachan7659]

Great job, it's a very difficult song to cover- I heard the original shortly after it's commercial release, and have heard many covers over the years, most of them crap For me, this is a haunting, deeply evocative song. Every time I hear it, it brings me back to that period in my life, and a lover who died Sadly, love did tear us apart..Thank you for a beautiful homage- to the this song, and the Joy Division.

[@artursevtsuk604]

Awesome that I stumbled across such a great performance. This reminds me of Nouvelle Vague's cover and they made it their own with class.

[@aquiestarich]

R.I.P Ian. Amazing Cover Guys, i love this song ,and i love Joy Division ....

[@nippon2u]

Really liked this cover of a classic. Bravo!

[@savecueandlog2211]

the band loves the song...so i loved the cover....

[@maribelgonzalez8850]

I love this cover💘

[@leandrosantos9501]

A intensidade dos periféricos os efeitos voz tudo é mágico

[@brittanyrouse1057]

this is so dope. I keep coming back! #OnRepeat

[@williamvillagomez69]

Awsome cover. Brilliant job holyholy. Peace

[@daviddenman1438]

As every great cover should do... it just highlights what an unbelievably important, beautiful, transcendent song the original is. It'll never quite capture the sadness but thats ok, i don't think any reasonable human should be able to do what Ian Curtis did. Great job

[@laurasoares1218]

Esse cover é muito bom, meu deus

[@ruijitsu]

so good Holy Holy

[@darmap8489]

This makes me wanna start my own band

[@melvaelizabethrodriguezjar3513]

Buenisismo!!!!!! great cover!!!!

[@marciocarlos7374]

Maravilhosa interpretação!

[@MrLordMooMoo]

Wow!

[@mcdazz2011]

I've been a New Order/Joy Division fan since the 1980s and have seen many cover versions of Love Will Tear Us Apart. Nothing will ever beat the original, but this is by far the best cover version I've seen/heard of a fantastic song.

[@briemcpherson6483]

Awesome. I really want to hear the November Rain cover though!

[@trentonspinosa5722]

Excellent!

[@Andy-il6lf]
