❤💔 Comment from : Elena Milito Pingitore

I got into Joy Division, after often hearing them on the John Peel show, shortly after Ian Curtis's death I found their music haunted me, to the point that I didn't want to listen to anything else for about a year I introduced them to my nephew and a cousin and the same thing happened to them Maybe their music just spoke to us at that particular time I've never heard a better lyricist than Curtis in my lifetime Only Dylan comes close Comment from : Shepton31 Davies46

If I’m being real Adam, I figured this band would embody your life, I know it has mine Comment from : Jason Savorn

In a lonely place is another great song written by joy division that was released by new order One of the most haunting songs I’ve ever heard Love the bass guitar in it too! Comment from : Solo Shadow

7:23brbrWho is that ? Comment from : inwork1

It's a really heart breaking story, especially if listen to candidate on unknown pleasures Comment from : camzilla_does_music

Interesting how people felt as outsiders listening to this music, growing up in the 80s in San Francisco this was mainstream Comment from : Yathome

For me its Atmosphere, i weep every single time ❤️ Comment from : Yathome

This song hit me like a brick when I first heard it Still love it for it’s raw emotion Comment from : Lhm56

When it comes to Joy Division for sheer existential bleakness I'd go for 'I Remember Nothing' or '24 Hours' Comment from : atthebridge

🖤 Comment from : DJ STOEK

It still blows my mind, how ahead of the time they were Comment from : Ash Baucum

Patsy Cline has the most haunting voice of all time Ian Curtis is second Comment from : Rain Dog

Before anyone had heard of them, Joy Division was my Lawyer’s favorite band Comment from : Ed Ryba

I thought it was going to be REM’s “The One I Love” People thought that was a love song and it SO wasn’t Comment from : Claire Sinclaire

I don`t even think is a hate song IS the very opposite of hate and love, is a indifference song, about being so deep in the hole that you became numb Comment from : Jeronimo Torres

Two songs that are melancholy to me are Drive by The Cars and Piano in the Dark by Brenda Russell Comment from : Daniel Ward

Joy Division is cited as a major influence to an up and coming dark wave band from Belarus called Molchat Doma Comment from : crnel

He was an absolutely brilliant lyricist, as you say really poetic He was influenced by the Doors but his lyricism far exceeds them That's the legacy he left Comment from : Matt Wright

"love sucks" is better and better known Comment from : chase roberts

You sound like Casey Kasem Comment from : Spanky Nater

Ian’s voice reminds of Ocasic Comment from : Cyndi Foore

They say, or maybe it's just me, that there are Joy Division fans and then New Order fans, sometimes both, but they lean one way or the other I'm definitely the NO side -- I never particularly liked Joy Division when I was younger (in the 1980s) They were too far down and dark brbrI knew how to be depressed, I didn't need someone to explain it to me To this day, I still prefer "Technique" era New Order, and then Barney Sumner's offshoot band Electronic, which continues that particular style Still, Joy Division grew on me, and I do like them, though in limited doses The album "Movement" is one that is a strange experience because it acts like a kind of transition from JD to NO Neither "Ceremony" nor "In A Lonely" place, the two JD eras song that New Order re-recorded, are on it (they were added to the re-issue and they were on "Substance"), but it still holds true These guys knew they weren't Joy Division anymore because that ended when Ian Curtis breathed his lastbrbrOne thing about dead rock stars, though it's hard to say Ian Curtis was one while he was alive -- he certainly is now, it's that they're not here to be asked what they meant, and so we are left to decide whether those words coming out of the speakers are genuinely held deep emotions, or just something he threw together after reading some Rimbaud or Baudelaire (or Schopenhauer) Comment from : Grater Deddly

Heart-wrenching tracks from across the genre spectrum:br* George Michael - You Have Been Lovedbr* Opeth - Isolation Years Comment from : Da Sharq

Who would ever think this was an endearing love song? Comment from : Potato Junkie Ate My Hamster

I actually like the 'Swans' cover better ( the version with Michael Gira AND Jarboe) Comment from : Lisa Smithline

wonderful interview - thank you Comment from : Ade S

I love this song Comment from : moshe dimawala-adormeo

If he didnt die and was still alive not a single person would say its chilling Comment from : prototype9000

What an amazing and tragic band I feel even if they would have had a successful US tour it still would have resulted with Ian’s suicide Comment from : Marc Davis

Easily one of my all time favorite songs Comment from : Daniel H

The Beatles and Joy Division by far the greatest musical influences in my life Comment from : MarkasTZM

Youtube gave me an ad before this video that had such a bad rap performance in it that I wanted to swallow the detergent that the shitty rap was trying to sell me to end my suffering Comment from : Peter Beal

The most haunting song from Joy Division is without doubt 'The Eternal' from the Closer LP The funeral atmosphere of the keyboards, the slow plodding base, and the salute of the drums make this the greatest goth song of all time The following song 'Decades' is also disturbing as Ian looks into the future, from the perspective of the living, looking back to the deceasedbrAlso, there were two songs crudely recorded by JD 4 days before Ian's death, Ceremony & In A Lonely Place which rank as all time Goth masterpieces New Order recorded these songs and released them as their first singles, and most of the content of their first LP Movement, was in development prior and immediately after Ian's death Comment from : Octavian7771

A lot of people have 'I Will Always Love You" as the first dance of their married life because they've never actually listened to the lyrics Comment from : Neil of Longbeck

This song remind “never tear us apart “ by INXS iconic both death of lead singer is suicide ;( such tragic love Michael Hutchence Comment from : Sandy Coffinier

I may not get noticed here, but Carl Jung's concept of the "Collective Subconscious", tapped into by great artists and thinkers, may have something to do with this Ian Curtis may have tapped into forces he didn't understand and overwhelmed him Comment from : Kevin Fields

my favorite all time band the lyrics have always hit me right in the soul Comment from : Craig Fresch

Hey Prof, I just wanted to say how much I admire your tribute to love will tear us apart and joy division I was working in the Manchester music scene as an a&r and dj Tony Wilson was a visionary and factory records broke the mold as a record company There was a lack of fiscal responsibility and was totally focused on the music and the bands who where on the label I spent most of my time when in the late 70's and early 80's at the popular venues and have never been able to capture those feelings and emotions that were part of the Manchester scene Joy Divisin reflect that time stay safe J Comment from : seekersofrhythm studio

Estranged - Guns N' RosesbrA Day In The Life - The BeatlesbrBuckets of Rain - Bob DylanbrTime - Pink Floyd Comment from : sjj48706

Not fond of the way they produced this song, could have been allot better if it was remixed There's a song that hits me like that if you listen to the words REO SpeedWagon's "Time for Me to Fly", it's allot like the way Peter describes this song Time for Me to Fly is more of a hate song than a Love song, but it hits what we almost all of us have felt at one time with a cheating Girlfriend or Boyfriend Comment from : Andy Williams

For me, the most "disturbing song" that made it to the airwaves is DOA by bloodrock Way too creepy wwwyoutubecom/results?search_query=doa+song Comment from : Duke Brickhouse

I discovered Joy Division when I had moved out and was struggling financially I remember buying their stuff on cassette because you could get a used cassette for 50 cents at the time Great stuff for sure, but in hindsight I probably should have listened to something a little more uplifting during that time 😂I bought an audible of Peters book because of this segment I can't wait to listen to it Comment from : Justin Larsen

I was in a dance club in the Bay Area when I believe I first heard this out on a crowded dance floor dANCING elbows amongst a lot of interesting people Comment from : salinagrrrl69

“Another Day” Paul McCartney Comment from : AdmiralBaxter

That was very cool and interesting I can't hear this song around March it reminds me of my fiancee 🥀 Comment from : Felicia Jenkins

I Started A Joke is the saddest most lonely song & Robin Gibb’s voice can cut right thru to your heart with his beautiful soulful voice His voice always has so much emotion in it that you feel every note & I Started A Joke always makes me feel so sad I nearly cry I love The Bee Gees & they have the best music from the 60’s thru today, nothing anyone puts out then or especially now comes any where close to their music Robin, Maurice & Andy are missed, so glad Barry & his Sons, Steven & Ashley are carrying on the music & writing new songs 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏻 Comment from : Diane Oliver

Joy division heavily influenced the cure to me they have the melody of the cure with the song style of nirvana Comment from : cartmanrlsusall

You really are the professor of Rock And such a gifted poetical speaker Thank you for your gift to music I've heard you make quite a few references to the Bible Does this mean JESUS is your LORD and Saviour? I hope so, since JESUS is greater than even Jimmy Page and James Pappa Hetfield brAnyway GOD bless you and yours 🙏 see you later 🎶🏜️🎸 Comment from : Bernadette Sutherland

I remember hearing this in Donnie Darko The movie was like a music video Comment from : MisterMister

Fantastic Comment from : Neil Raffan

patsy cline's entire catalog Comment from : easyevil g

Hmmm, Never heard of it! But I get the premise of how people believe what they wanna believe Especially when I saw this video interview of the Police, Sting lead singer, says that people come up to him and say that is there love song, they played it at their wedding!!!???brAnd of course I am talking about the song "Every Breath You Take" is a stalker song!!!brNOT A LOVE SONG!!! Comment from : Mike Talas

Professor, what about 'Every Step You Take'? Who thinks that is a love song?! It's a pissed off stalker song Comment from : Will Black

Love listening to you and your interviews but I cant take you seriously with those Latvian gypsy hats you wear Comment from : Andrew Meadows

I remember the first time I heard "love will tear us apart" Oddly enough I was messing around on a bass line during practice for the band I was in my senior year of high school and the Guitarist said "That sounds like Joy Division" and I was like "what?" and he played it for me Was a moving song I knew "of" the band but had not really heard them to that point Comment from : Gringo Fett

Must Have Been LovebrbrLay a whisper on my pillow brLeave the winter on the ground brI wake up lonely, there's air of silence brIn the bedroom and all around brTouch me now, I close my eyes and dream away br brMake-believing we're together brThat I'm sheltered by your heart brBut in and outside I've turned to water brLike a teardrop in your palm brAnd it's a hard winter's day, I dream away br brIt must have been love but it's over now brIt was all that I wanted, now I'm living without brIt must have been love but it's over now br brIt's where the water flows, it's where the wind blows Comment from : John Donohue

Joy Division/ New Order my absolute favorite band Comment from : Chad Crigger

I didn't listen to Punk They always seemed angry But the words to this song, wow, I didn't know any punk performer was capable of love and hurt feelings Thanks for letting me see/learn this Comment from : Tony5000

I know this song but could never understand the lyrics so had no idea what it was about Comment from : Kirby Armstrong

JD have been my fave band out of the gatebrbrI am Fucked up for days after listening to their musicbrbrI have to be careful, it is that powerfulbrbrThe Cure may well be my 2nd fave band ever, and I am always very very torn up after listening to "Apart", alone and in the dark, it is on repeat,and I am shattered Comment from : Leper Lord

U2 wouldn't exist without JD and NO Comment from : ô¿ô

I love New Order, but i could never get into Joy Division, that music never appealed to me, even though it sounds a little like early new order Comment from : Abel Billy Alvarez

I’ve been listening to New Order and Joy Division for 20 years of my life The emotions behind their songs are so powerful Thanks for making this video Comment from : David Williams

The most melancholy song ever created was "in another world" by Barry Manilow It's the saddest song ever Comment from : berighteous

just a bunch of emo melancholy bullshit "oh I'm so sad" Boo fucking hoo Comment from : berighteous

There was a movie about Ian and Joy Division Good movie and didn't really understand it until I saw the movie Wish things work out for everyone, good luck all Comment from : Pursang

I never thought it was a love song, it’s literally about a past relationship of mine that has run it’s coarse 😂 Comment from : Adam McMillan

I usually like your content but it's usually on songs that don't suck balls What is this crap? Comment from : Chris Lascari

Joy Division!! Comment from : joey morvant

Thanks for the time and effort you engaged in to produce this educational and inspiring video Comment from : Peter Anderson

Twenty Four Hours will always be my favorite JD song (side 2 of Closer start to finish, really), but can't argue with LWTUA I've had a poster of the cover art on my wall for going on 30 years now I wouldn't be making music without JDhell, I might not even be here brbrI've done some "serious" covers of JD songs, but for a bit of respectful whimsey, I tried to translate the meaning and preserve the rhyme scheme, despite not using the same rhymes, some fans might dig this one (or, well, not, it's a silly concept) wwwyoutubecom/watch?v=8tYZLPv6XjE Comment from : DoorsInTheLabyrinth

I heard this song on a compilation tape I had in my car in the mid 90s Can't remember what the other songs were, because this was the only one I liked!! I LOVED THE DRUM SEQUENCE!! Comment from : Maureen Bennett

I nominate Harry Nilsson's Without You Absolutely heart wrenching once you realize that he's referring to his departed wife who left him over his alcoholism Gives me Days of Wine and Roses vibes You love your partner but you can't stomach their addictions anymore Comment from : Donna Zasgoat

I can't believe you got Hook to discuss this Amazing Comment from : DetHyprlps

If you like Joy Division, check out The Sound and Adrian Borland s solo stuff Awesome post punk that never quite got big Comment from : John Raisor

Ian to Peter's "Play high Hooky" made me smile, thinking in those turbulent times Great interview Professor! 🙏🏻♥🙏🏻 Comment from : Gustavo Saliola

A lovely tribute Ian Curtis's devastatingly honest poetry Comment from : Alan Hunt

1:00 - brThe Heart of the Matter by Don Henley is that for me “It’s about forgiveness, even if you don’t love me anymore” Comment from : Malcom Sazon

Sorry Prof, but all I felt was yet more pretentious crap by a has-been band! You might have the alternative version playing in your mind, but to be perfectly blunt it was just a pile of poo for the rest of us You might not agree with my opinion but overall I felt that punk was as crap as it gets - no ability at singing, playing instruments and all the rest Comment from : Lord Ronin, The Compassionate

00:51 Cool! Comment from : Terry P Music

I say 'Isolation' for me is their most difficult song to listen toit's just a gut punch Comment from : Dre Munoz

I’ve never heard of the song or the band Comment from : Casey B Hargraves

I hate clickbait titles Until it gets deleted, guys, it's Love Will Tear Us Apart, by Joy Division Comment from : Beau Harmon

I wonder if Captain & Tennille heard this song and what did they think? Comment from : Adam G

FUCK!!! I'm sitting in a Chicago public library one block away from the Aragon (it was originally called Aragon Ball Room) and the Riviera is nextdoor and Professor I'm pretty sure you know the significance of these venues for rock and roll and pop?? But on Clark street a quarter mile away is a awsome legendary music venue with original name ; "Cabernet Metro"Cabernet Metro yep and I'm watching this awsome interview and im looking at the dude from joy division talk and im thinking, boy what does his t-shirt say?? It looks familiar?? And low and behold it's a METROt-shirt!!! Yep the new name not their original name (which was way way better) just METRO and anyone that truly loves music knows these Chicago institutions and all they have contributed to music Comment from : Carl Derfler
