A short period of existence but a huge legagy. I was only 13 when I listened to them in 88. Their music caught me immediately. Thanks Ian and Joy Division.

[@Jorenanthony]

My fellow, for sure. I first her them in 89 at the age of 15.

[@richardjalabhay5586]

I was 13 too in 1988 when I bought Substance and first heard them!

I'm53 now.When this came out i was a child.Crazy how fast time's passing bye.But good music will last.

I agree; it’s one of my most played.....🖤 Many people could relate to Ian’s words, his beautiful poetry.....”people like you find it easy....” 🖤

[@GT-bz9nc]

the most beautiful and difficult phrase of the entire song.

[@Alan-kq7rh]

Unreal. It doesn't seem possible for humans to create such beautiful music. How did they get it out of them? Joy Division is seriously on a level like Mozart or Beethoven working in their own respective eras. Or like Picasso or Monet if you want to cross into different types of art.

[@nakaine7]

Settle down lol

[@brownson1970]

They were/are the most important band of the whole post punk era, and then NEW ORDER! beautiful

Joy Division has always been my first love of music, whenever I need to think or refocus, I turned to them. I always wished I could of seen them live.

[@motomalaya3043]

Me too..

[@billybuenafe7634]

Ian's Sound and Joy Divison's music is universal... breaks barriers... Beautiful. Art

[@Oh_I_Will]

What barriers...did I miss something in the lyrics?

[@GT-bz9nc]

you’ve been missing it for years mate.

[@borrowedbody5409]

Always amazes me how Joy Division is simultaneously the most late70s/80s sound you could imagine, and also completely timeless. Really great things seem to transcend whatever is circumstantial about them.

[@Lola_does_know_anything]

Don’t walk away

[@sergiotrancoso5726]

Oh Ian. Miss you. Thanks. You'll be always remembered

[@PaulA-yw6lx]

The best lyricist and frontman of all time, rest easy mate. We'll see you on the other side. Ian Curtis; 1956-1980.

[@winstonsmith9424]

Have you seen Future Islands?

[@FracturedImage]

The audacity to try to compare Sam Herring to Ian Curtis is asinine and a complete brain dead take You can compare their stage “dancing” but Ian is on a whole another level lyrically. And I’ve seen Future Islands, 4 times in fact, they haven’t been good/great since 2013 and none of their music even comes close to Unknown Pleasures and Closer!

[@scrimitt]

As a young punk i was deeply saddened when i heard of the death of ian, i was just getting into joy division and then it all stopped. i have many of their records and new orders but i always come back to this and think WHAT IF.

[@Santisaez1]

...What if you were speaking about New Order? Ian death or alive, would have changed what New Order achieved? I dont think so. They were already experiencing with electronic stuff. Atmosphere (what a song) has more to do with synth-pop than with punk. Or a clear bridge song from different stages. Postpunk!.

[@vrillon97]

@@Santisaez1 ya pasar del punk al post punk es un paso que New order nunca hizo

[@Santisaez1]

@@vrillon97 No entiendo que quieres decir, JD fueron la quinta esencial del Post-Punk, y ya como New Order en los primeros 80 fueron relegando ese sonido (nunca del todo) para abrazar el new wave, electrónica, rock, dance, o una fantástica mezcla de todo ello.

[@brownson1970]

their next album would of been up there with THE greatest albums of all time, ceremony/atmosphere/LWTUA/in a lonely place/dead souls etc etc, but factory and JD would of probably left a lot off and had just as many more incredible songs?

[@brownson1970]

I think joy division would of been the greatest band ever tbh, JUST look at the songs and the quality of what was being produced? speaks for itself 100%

[@vincenttalmasse4137]

All my life

[@davidegnemmi9471]

It reminds me at the instrumental parts that Velvet Underground used to play at gigs.. It's the same trance, power and astonishing beauty. I think they had a lot of influence on Joy division.. Two of the best bands that ever walk on earth.

[@royferguson3909]

really

[@nottavictim5]

Of course it does! JD stole the best parts of this from Lou Reeds Street Hassle

[@christianmenu3747]

Tout simplement magnifique

[@nats4823]

The band looks ethereal in those pictures. Shame that recording gigs wasn't as prevalent as it is today, because I would certainly enjoy a look at that one!

[@artursharkey665]

Still my favourite song ever...

May your Memory Be Eternal Ian 🙏

[@minuatri2565]

♡ too beautiful to be real

[@tommc4305]

Peter Hook bass on this is just too good, it’s not trying too hard. Natural. Meanders through the track, like rain creating a stream, forming a river that becomes an ocean. Twisting and turning.

[@Electraaaa9]

Wow, beautifully put. Brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for this comment. 💗

I suggest that anyone who loves this music have a read of Andrew O'Hagan's Mayflies. It is wonderful and captures the times of Manchester... the second half is a bit bleak though and tears your heart out. Damn fine book.
