[@jeorgeksantiago5119]

This is the best version of them all.

[@qhaoula]

yep it is

[@sharonedwards6010]

The drumming on some of their songs are unique. Well done Stephen.

[@richardwallace6313]

Morris is extraordinary

[@Sinsemilla4u]

Best version of the song, hands down.

[@SwagMaster824]

Yes it really is, just gives the song a completely different identity

[@mneumann966]

There are other versions of this video out there but the BBC version is fantastic. The drumming a lone is so much tighter and aggressive. Best version in my opinion.

[@sidDkid87]

"Why is the bedroom so cold? / You've turned away on your side / Is my timing that flawed? / Our respect runs so dry"

[@CuteCatFaith]

I used to know a guy from Yorkshire who settled in London and used to be friends with the singer whose life ended so young. The '70s were a very bleak, dark time for many of us young people in the US and the UK. This group did some outstanding recordings and endured much hardship. The guy from Yorkshire slipped farther & farther into mental illness & after about a decade, he vanished. Thanks so much for posting this. Peel was so supportive. Greetings from France.

[@Harley-o7p]

what was the Yorkshire man's name? Yes I am 11 years too late.

[@shashsrivas]

one of my favourite songs.....deeply sad music and lyrics stephen morris is certainly one of the finest drummers of all time, he plays the drums with full energy right from the beginning of the song till the end

[@hamingkee]

Stephen Morris is really one of the top 5 drummers all times!

[@gram2358]

joy division were like no other,the bass,the drums,the voice,the intensity of the lyrics,listen and weep! RIP Ian,sadly missed.

[@MrPuppypups]

the greatest band ever in my eyes. Some of the most emotional lyrics ever written. For all those who are yet to discover Joy Division Love will tear us apart is just the start of the journey,

[@deanbros2000]

I'm 5 years old and I love this!

[@MrWaza00]

Suspicious good gramatical..

[@LPAlebi]

One of the most beautiful songs I ever heard

[@majerlet]

I'm 12 and i love it even more! Joy Division...LEGENDS!!!!!!

[@tomo366]

How about at 24?

[@cesarvasco66.6]

@@tomo366what about 25?

[@richardtuson605]

Ian Curtis was a genius. Those lyrics are on an almost poetic level,l way beyond most other songwriters.

[@gloomyharlow]

Beautiful song. RIP Ian Curtis.

[@alejandrodavidbolanos82]

Thank you, This is by far the best mastering of Love Will Tear Us Apart.

[@zachhaywood1564]

Would it be blasphemous if I said I prefer this version over the album version?

[@David888B]

+ZachTalksMusic 94 No, because there is no album version, it was only released as a single.

[@zachhaywood1564]

+David B I guess I should correct myself: *Studio version

[@gretscher]

+ZachTalksMusic 94 No it would not, it would be good because this is an excellent version.

[@miga3191]

+ZachTalksMusic 94 It's only blasphemous if you don't like the song.

[@humberthumbert3734]

+ZachTalksMusic 94 Even one or two of the band members preferred this version

[@Maugister]

One of the most fragile and pure songs ever made...

[@ronniedillon]

After so, so many years this song still has the power to make me feel what no other song can. I sure do miss this music.

[@Jim78hr]

Drums are so fucking great!

[@wordup2yourmother]

best song of the 80s for sure

[@scottiehanbacks6595]

i agree

[@SwagMaster824]

Idk man A-Ha Take On Me is pretty good lol 😆

[@Sangor]

@@SwagMaster824 Take on me is a really good song but this is in another league, plus the influence Joy Division had on music is immeasurable.

[@PetertheImpaler]

One of the most truthful, intelligent and heartbreaking songs ever written about a relationship on the verge of collapse...and by my favourite band of all-time...

[@mikeroby1313]

I can't believe I've never heard this take before. Thanks for taking time to share.

[@dj-fuzz]

The fact that Ian Curtis could write such vivid poetry in that small amount of time, and that the music still holds up TODAY, just shows his genius. R.I.P, my man..

[@charleshill2265]

had tickets to see this band in the 80s,singer died before he came to NZ

[@Yan93]

Great song! + Great video! 5/5! R.I.P. Ian Curtis

[@colinblower]

It's been tearing me apart for 2 years now..this song has me in tears every time I listen.

[@ufewl]

[@XChrisX60]

This video is fantastic!

[@RichCBooks]

I would listen to this song over and over again when it came out! The beginning of what became the enjoyment of listening to the Manchester sounds!!

[@ducky2372]

Excellent job! Will never forget this song with Ian Curtis.

[@ivettefigueroa2988]

Mi favorita

[@cementerioclub64]

👍

[@MARKSVIGIL]

Joy Division were so before their time! Even today I still cry when I hear Ian Curtis's voice. I wish he had got help. I can't help but think if Ian hadn't taken his own life what he and Joy Division would sound like today. Their sound was so unique and they set the standard......if it wasn't for them their would be no Killers, Snow Patrol, or Cold Play...all these groups admit that Joy Division influenced their music.

[@Fernandoguitarrock]

This Video it's amazing... Love it. Congratulations for this.

[@MarisaShorty]

Words cannot describe how much i love this song.

[@SwagMaster824]

Sometimes this version just hits different.

[@timdalf]

Ahh, god- blessings. This song breaks my heart every time.

[@OoopsAdaisyhe]

My favorite song ever. Thank you for posting this version! x Luci

[@StreamerHouse]

Fantastic video, hope to see more

[@HungriMunki]

The melody in this song is recognized by most humans as the sound implicit in the universe

[@gilbz1981]

i hope the new generation can come up with music as beautiful as this.

[@nidhearc]

I could play this song over and over and never get tired of it!! =] R.I.P. Ian Caroline XOXO

[@janicegaulton]

[@autotunepop]

Amazing quality! Thanks for posting

[@MarcusPrebridge]

Ian has been a romantic philosopher, he never knew about it, but he lived as a baron of lyrics and died in pain of his passions.

[@woody5831]

His lyrics were about his struggle in life & his mental illness

[@Sandriux14]

Te amo Ian

[@Rhaenspots]

This is one of the few things that can make me cry anymore. Ian, man. RIP.

[@GarySchipper1]

Thanks Barry, You really put it into perspective for me. I appreciate that.

[@LadyInsalata]

thank you for this song!

[@JoeOvHeywood]

So powerful and perfect. I wish i was alive for Joy Division :'(

[@alexsiren7829]

I wonder that Ian put the microphone too close to his mouth, making him sounded like he eating something while singing, the microphone must be tasty

[@jamesonjaksch4883]

Yeah, I noticed that too, that's why in crappy recordings of Joy Division songs you can barely hear what he's saying.

[@flare435]

cool version. very cool video. thx for sharing!

[@GromAndrey]

I was at a concert of this group. Excellent music!

[@jocer12ify]
