Nouvelle Vague - Love will tear us apart

[Midkniqht]

Awful cover, music has nothing to do with the feelings expressed by the lyrics

[BAswingsteps]

It is a shame Ian Curtis never lived to hear this. A little shame, but a shame all the still.

[UKKingArthur]

Ah it's always nice to hear a different prospective on a classic, good cover. To the people who are banging on about 'Originals' - Do you mean track demos - now that's Original lol Like Heaven 17's temptation original demo - Search on youtube ''Heaven 17 - Temptation (Original Demo)'' - sounds very different to how everybody knows it by.... Same thing with a lot of other bands.... People should stop arguing and spend more time listening :D

[tyknos93]

not bad but the original has so much angst and raw energy which made it great. this is sweet but not the same.

[taktojestania]

I really really hate this version. It doesn't even make sense how it sounds now.

[adi74073]

she is magical!!!!!!

[marilouixxlove]

Prefer Joy Division's version, but this one is greeeeeat too... ;)

[F34rBr34K3r]

haters gonna hate

[boni1982]

As much as I like Nouvelle Vague's covers and as much as I'm not a fan of Joy Division's music, I have to say that this cover is not what the song is all about. How can you make a sad, dark song and text into "let's all be happy"? Lyrics like that must have the same darky musical background.

[deBarnik]

@boni1982 contrast amongst lyrics and arrangement is what makes this cover very nice

[myheardbeatgreen]

Gentle tunes.....hear and hear again

[hsyndgn89]

joy division rockz!

[biscoitadaful]

I love this cover more than the other versions...

[pablooooo77]

Wow. They really ripped the heart and soul out of this song. Turning 'Love will tear us apart' into a jingle is just plain wrong.

[TUBLERONE62]

Stop anal ysing the song in this style, sit back & enjoy, life's to short to be anal.

[Schnitzgel]

@TUBLERONE62 "to be anal" - oooooooooooooooh, i've had so many situations in my life so far, where I really could have used this phrase :D

[TUBLERONE62]

@Schnitzgel No copyright, so use freely ; ]

[Schnitzgel]

@TUBLERONE62 Believe me, I will :D Thanks

[karou1995]

now I discovered this, i can just remember Godard and Truffaut. i guess Im not the only one, yes?

[GuiMarquito]

@karou1995 it will pass, lol

[75yakuza]

Nouvelle vague massacre tous les standards! Une bande de bobos qui chante pour les bobos! De la merde en barre!

[kwendyl]

This was released on my birthday.!! :D 7/12. <3

[clearviewmind]

what language is she singing in? lol

[Ficcionario]

Saludos desde Guatemala!

[mguygh]

this is great. very sexy. ill have to look up of this Nouvelle Vague

[IvanAgram]

great! love Joy Divison and Nouvelle Vague!!!

[shoogal29]

no, sorry that went totally wrong....they can do better

[passosavourogamis]

gamaei

[japikole]

Ouch. This song really hurts.

[ellesista]

joy division is better, but its a good cover - soothing :)

[sidecar9000]

cha cha cha

[modowl]

why, why, why??? :(

[colabottles77]

Doing bossanova covers is too easy.

1) Take a classic rock song

2) Slow it right down

3) Insert bossanova beat

4) Hire a soulful female vocalist

5) Profit

[daizawadude]

@colabottles77 Most great ideas are easy... the hard part is coming up with the idea before anyone else :)

[SUSHIroyalee]

@colabottles77 then do one. lets see how your musical career goes

[Memonic30]

@colabottles77 so of course you can do something like this,,,let us hear...

[GreenSLi7]

@Memonic30 I don't know who Colabottles77 is but I believe he probably can do something like this. It really is that easy.

If I heard this song in an elevator a wouldn't even have a second thought looking it up.... Oh wait it is elevator music.

[briced65]

@colabottles77 jealous guy

[babaclontz]

@colabottles77 you jelly ? :))

[vizo2312]

@colabottles77

than do it! ;)

[deBarnik]

@colabottles77 don't forget to turn all the chords into min7/maj7

[zerobeat18]

@colabottles77 You forgot one step:

0) Spend years learning how to do this stuff.

[flipfloptk]

@colabottles77 the great thing is that many dont even know original songs, and after hearing they like more these ones, that is a profit man :)

[vsander09]

@flipfloptk Many? That's a stretch. You don't know the originals. That I believe.

[flipfloptk]

@vsander09 yeah, many of my friends, I actually do know the originals and they are great as these but thats what many people actually said..

[hoodrockho88]

@colabottles77 it sounds so beautiful...its taking a song and converting it to something different and allows listeners to appreciate it form a different perspective...

[BadlyDrawnRobot93]

Does she *only* do mediocre covers of good songs?

[wingrhames]

@BadlyDrawnRobot93

mostly mediocre. I'm actually a HUGE fan of both JD and bossa, but this is a prime example of a wrong good idea (like in "hey! let's mix the cultish and the cool"). Now, LWTUA is no Holy Cow, it can be reworked, but what we have here is a great blend of intellectual and musical laziness: that's when everything becomes obscene. Ian Curtis, Tom & Vinicius are dying again

[claudiahartmann]

beautiful song! This is Bossa Nova from Brazil, my country...:)



[TheIqoniq]

@claudiahartmann While the style may be bossa nova, you'll find that Nouvelle Vague (the band) are in fact French :)

[claudiahartmann]

Hello @TheIqoniq...yes, i know...but the style is bossa nova. You know Tom Jobim? It is one of the precursors of the style in Brazil. Bossa nova is totally Brazilian rhythm...:)

[outbreak201]

.......joy division is better....WAYYYY...WAAAAAAAAAY­YYY better...

[lambertech]

wtf is a "loov"?

[DogsFishCatsMeowMiX]

the best elevator song i've ever heard.

[VVaneska]

When the routine bites hard

And ambitions are low

And the resentment rides high

But emotions won’t grow

And we’re changing our ways,

Taking different roads

Then love, love will tear us apart again

[3LOADED]

i feel like i need a Pina Colada and a towel boy. how do you eff up such a beautiful song, ive heard good and i mean GOOD versions of this, THIS is a parody right? Not that im not into "soothing" sounds but i don't want to be in a a cabana listening to this i'd rather be in the rain listening to cars pass bye. ewwwww #myopinion

[8bluecheese]

18 minds squirt with this.

[jsteel715]

This sucks!

[marthamehmeh]

I didn't know bossa nova and post-punk could work together... MY TWO FAVORITE THINGS

[AntiMusick]

good but the best ever cover of Love Will Tear Us Apart is the Jarbo version by the Swans.

[Renato77404]

Falô, "filho(a) de francisco" !! ...é cada "zé-ruela" que me aparece...se fosse o Zezé di Camargo ou o Leonardo vc daria até essse caneco seu, né, ô, "mané" ??

[ModeusAMV]

bolja od originala,stvarno posebna.

[CondesaShortshot]

What a way of ruining such a powerful song, wow!

[fede112009]

@CondesaShortshot Pipe down you completely tit u.u

[CondesaShortshot]

@fede112009 Am I not allowed to give my opinion? I didn't insult anyone, I simply think the song doesn't work like this! Jeez!

[3LOADED]

@CondesaShortshot Seriously!? They must of taken an obvious good song and thought "hey we could make money out of making it a bad song" so they have succeeded , it's a bad song now. (not original.shhh.;P)

[Zipplepoo]

usually i wouldnt even comment on a video i didnt like but this was exceptionally bollox, it literally sounds like a french girl reading the lyrics backing tracked by the sounds in your average elevator. Totally ruins the ambience of joy divisions version, sure a different take in a cover but i just find this to be chalk and cheese....or some other apt comparison its not worth half arsing one for this clown... blue monday was a nice song tho

[Misspretty75]

The original's better but this cover still kicks ass !

[RoyalSlaughter]

A great remake of a legendary song...

[elrubiojc]

atrocious !

[JimmyChillDJ]

This is amazing. If you love great chillout, also checkout out youtube channel for new Unclubbed 2 album, quirky covers....tiz a real gem!!

[cindynunyun]

Please stop covering songs. PLease. You are butchering them. You are not a dude. Please make some original music or sit down and shut up.

[1skunkus]

@cindynunyun yep make new stuff that will be classics. nothing tops the originals, covers just dont work.

[Alva559]

dang!!! i remember when yahoo had its own customizable radio, anyone remember? That purple bluish pop out window, well in other words that is where i found this song, till now!

[mick220567]

They cover the best songs

[fthlagen]

@rr12351 Did you die in a grease fire?

If you don't reply to this question within 144 minutes, I will assume you did and if I receive a reply after that, I will assume someone has hacked into your account after your funeral and is masquerading as you while your ghost looks on.

[Cassiopeia302]

I used to love Joy Division and this song was one of my favorites.This sounds good enough to level with the original:)

[badah101]

12 people found the glue.

[willvonryan]

great song

[Ayanfe13]

it is one trait of love...to be torn apart...among many other more pleasant and less painful features...

[MentalExtirpation]

Does Nouvelle Vague have any original songs? It seems like everything I've clicked on was a cover of a song. :/

[galaxysong9]

@MentalExtirpation Nouvelle Vague is French for new wave... now look at the songs they cover... I think that's their schtick.

[creepsneedtodie]

bliss

[ericjay71]

this is my favorite re-rendering of this song. an icelandic group called 'worm is green' did a great version too.

[RepentKingdom]

@ericjay71 Thank you for the information, that's an awesome cover too!! ;)

[screamer4charlotte]

it's 2011. and i just discovered this. it makes me wonder what i've been doing for the past 6 years of my life.

[NosgothKingdom]

@screamer4charlotte

Me too man and I wonder it just the same.

[killallidols]

@screamer4charlotte hope not listening to Justin Bieber lol

[babygotshot]

@screamer4charlotte I hope you spent the past years listening to the original bands - joy division in this case - who have been ripped off by these dumb covers

[LesLacunesMusic]

@babygotshot

I love Joy Division and must say that this version is one of the best I've ever heard. Of course, after the original. So many bands try to imitate Joy Division and fail...Nouvelle Vague never tried it... they play their own version.

[ddcmcr68]

@screamer4charlotte you dont understand nothing about Bossa Nova. I'm a brazilian musician and your comment sounds almost offensive against names like Jobim.

[screamer4charlotte]

@ddcmcr68 excuse me? my comment was a compliment to your music. not to criticize.

[erictheviking871]

isnt music fucking great .this is spot on.and im a life long joy division ,new order fan.

[mademoisellepunk777]

she s good but she also deffinetly ruined this one. because come on this is JOY DIVISION we re talking about

[skarioffszky]

I love nouvelle vague, but I think she's overdoing the french accent on this one...

[TheKako666]

sweet

[PorroFirst]

Really good, it's better than Joy Division, definitely.

[naysaynever]

@PorroFirst not better, just different. both versions are excellent.

[kanedapazzo]

<3 I love it!

[fjanton83]

I like this. and btw, why are there people who says "i dont like this" instead of saying "i like this" on the things they like?

[xthinkingofyouxx]

great work by her, I enjoy everything she does.

[sann1979]

Que grupo para cagon jode todos los covers que hacen, buena mierda!!!!

[Banumiel]

this version is stupid and boring, sacrilege!!

[xoxoLoveTrixie]

I've only heard the Susanna And The Magical Orchestra version of this song. I love both versions.

[AnnieLennyKenny]

Je l'adore! I just love this cover of Joy Division's song Love Will Tear Us Apart :D

[SnjeskaO]

a bit sadly  :(

[Danyhg92]

Ian would be proud :)

[37rastaman]

This is pretty horrible, but still not as bad as P J Proby's cover

[sandramnr]

i do like this song but are they just singing the lyrics phonetically?! the accent is so thick I can barely make out the verses. chorus is ok though.

[thehontry1fan14]

I love it... So relaxing!!! You could fall in love just by listening to this... <3

[rymaly]

i don't like the vocals

[ClockworkAnimal1]

what a shit cover...fuck off

[ClockworkAnimal1]

what a shit cover..fuck off

[lifeissubstance]

-ll- !!!

[Padraigrua16]

Fanelable you are an idiot.

[viniomaster]

@Padraigrua16

ur comment prove that u r bigger idiot than Fenelable, heh.

[Fanelable]

Fall Out Boy has a cover of this song to:) I, personally, like that one better;)

[vampirepicnic]

@Fanelable If it's sooooo awesome then why are you at this page in the first place?

[venivertebrae]

just a beautiful cover

(:
