I love Thom's "deep" voice.

[@regularshow960]

Yeah I wish he still sang like this in the recent albums

"Deep"

[@hiepphambui3941]

Ceremony is a song by joy division. Lead singer Ian Curtis died before the song was officially released. That deep voice, with mic touching his lips, that was Ian Curtis' singing style. Thom was doing an Ian Curtis impression.

[@unclep8501]

@@hiepphambui3941 im sure thom kisses the mic pretty much all time lol

[@musibaba70]

Thom has a habit of singing close to the microphone, in the first concerts he already did it (standing up or sitting at the piano). It is a mere coincidence! .. Curtis was more defined by the striking movements he made, almost convulsive, and at the same time his serious face and his deep voice... it was very personal no doubt, but Yorke too without copying.

I love how you can see how much these songs mean to them.I grew up on Joy Division and the Smiths. These guys look like they are as familiar with these songs as they are of their own.
