No song has ever and never will express so eloquently these horrible feelings of someone staring into the abyss knowing that life will never improve and that we're all doomed. It's like looking at and experiencing the anatomy of a depression.
@TransmissionFilms That's the beauty of it. Music should evoke an emotional response. I always think "Hm... maybe the song's beginning to lose its power..." but then the guitar comes in and I just lose it, and myself. Such melancholy, but such beauty.
its been a long time since ive listened to this album. was in a dark place back then, thought i had got my depression under control. have i fuck, i just distracted myself from it. this song and album reminds me other people have gone through this
Goddamn it, Ian. Why is it that when a new voice for a generation of originality appears, it's silenced early? Ian. you'll always live in my being. You understand me completely. I love you.
In terms of building songs, this is Joy Division's best. However this ranks as one of my favourites of all time, I still deeply enjoy Warsaw - killing punk song!
Nah, he was still relatively happy at this time I bet. Unknown Pleasures was a social commentary about despair, Closer was despair at work and in action.
If ever there was a song pulled from the depths of someone's tormented heart this must be the one. RIP Ian, you are sadly missed. I had the pleasure in seeing the play live more than once in my hometown of Stockport, Manchester, fond memories indeed
"New Dawn Fades" is the saddest song I've ever heard. I actually avoid putting this song on my ipod and I also avoid listening to this song. It's a beautiful song, one of the best ever. However, it's depression in musical form. When I hear this song my feelings of depression, anxiety, despair, and suicide appear; I feel like nothing will get better and I would just rather die instead.
@TransmissionFilms if you think that's depressing then listen to The Eternal by Joy Division, New Dawn Fades used to be my favourite song of all time til i heard this. Sheer perfection when it comes to emotion.
@TransmissionFilms same it piss me off, i can't hear that music all day long because i get depressed to death and wanna die... 5th years of severe depression. Don't give up ! Depression is a life-eating worms. Let's kill those woprms.
@TransmissionFilms im completely understand what you are saying. so many people just view joy division as a good band. but they are much more than that. maybe these people dont suffer from depression. but i listen to a lot of music and love many different types, but nothing can affect me like joy division. its unreal how this song can just tear me apart emotionally
@TransmissionFilms - I don't think it's "sad" or " depressing" just BRILLIANT like everything JOY DIVISION did. One of the greatest ART bands of all time.
@TransmissionFilms I will be brought into crematorium with this track- so many people did not undertand me in this life and depression is not understood - u loose family and friends but there is also a unique creativity too!!!
@TransmissionFilms It's the heaviest song ever written. So heavy infact, that it is VERY hard to listen to. I've got it all, depression, anxiety, ect., but I find a strange comfort in this song, It's just very powerful.
@BoredOfThisSite Ok, Troll, I'll bite. Amateur enough to influence and create an entire new genre of music. What kind of sound equipment do you suppose they had to work with in 1976?
@TheWonderDoc The use (and misuse) of the word "Troll" may well be the internet's most prolific cliche. The only one to rival it is Godwin's Law. Anyway, the comment was more an observation of the lyrics, delivery, hamfisted mangling of the instruments and the general tone of juvenile self-pity. As for the ability to make decent recordings in 1976... that just doesn't hold water. Not every album made prior to 1977 sounds like it was recorded in a wardrobe.
@BoredOfThisSite Sometimes the application of the word "troll" hits it's mark. Hitler... there invoked godwin. That out of the way, it's exactly the reasons you listed that made them so popular. If I may quote Ayn Rand: Art is a selective re-creation of reality according to an artist's metaphysical value-judgments. This music is not created for consumption, but for the sheer art.
It conveys meaning and transfers emotions and allows the listener to relate to the songs.
@BoredOfThisSite it's important to note a few things. These guys were quite literally a garage band and their primary influence at the time were the sex pistols.
Due to the sex pistols, the "ham fisting" was part of the influence. Many bands wrote albums before they knew how to play well or could afford professional studio time. The Clash, Dead Kennedy's, Siousxie & banshees, all influenced that way
You can create an extremely well produced, technically perfect song, and have it suck.
Christ, booshank, I started listening about a week ago and you've got me thinking I'll be hanging in my kitchen by tomorrow night. Then again, I have been twitching rather frantically recently...

@katasaifa I can appreciate your musical passion, Kat, but that doesn't negate my own view. New Dawn Fades, from 1995's HEAT, is truly pulse-pounding. JD's is nice as well, but more of a take I'd expect to hear in a bar or small concert. I'm just trying to relay how I interpret the style, and it's in no way meant as an insult.
@PaulGrantDesigns Moby Elevated it? LMAO!! Not even Moby would be so pretentiousto say such a thing. There is a lot to be said by hearing the Artist who wrote it and later killed himself vs a cover of the track minus emotion.
33 dislikes? Another one of their songs had the same number. I wonder if it is the same group of losers going around looking for Joy Division songs to dislike. What do these people want? Kittens and rainbows? Those are nice, but not all the time. Really people. Get a life.
If I could say, this would be the best song ever made by jd, but I would say that for any of their songs, and when I look at the others just can't compare that much brilliance which was produced by them... fucking genius
I been trying to find a good music for few years now since I m from gen where rap and sht has taken over. I thank god for Donnie Darko thats where I found about this band and wow wow wow I feel sad I never came across this band. You old timers are very lucky. Never heard music so good I just cannot describe how I feel when I listen to joy division its just amazing. Also thanks for the upload.
@kooperwhyhello Funnily enough I know Debbie Curtis and have also read the book (Touching From a Distance - I presume you are talking about?). The film is good - really good. Its not exactly as the book portrays it, but then Anton Corbijn had additional sources of input for the story. Some of the characters aren't accurate either, according to what Natalie Curtis says (in an interview).. I've watched it a few times now and it never fails to move me.
Sluša Srbija, al bogami i Hrvatska :) Mislim da cijela ex yu sluša Joy Division! Davno je Gile pjevao Igra rock n roll cela Jugoslavija! Pozdrav komšija/nica ;)
This phenomenal song is my anthem. I went to so much thoughtful effort and lump-in-my-throat expense at the start of the year for a friend's pleasure only to be soundly rejected. I have no regrets because it's just who I am, but these lyrics and the intense soul put into them help me to overcome my feelings of foolishness. Ian Curtis will forever live through his music and his genius.
born in 89,9 years after ians tragic death their music more relevent today that ever.IAN CURTIS ONE OF THE BEST PORTRAYERS OF HUMAN EMOTION THROUGH MUSIC EVER!
@MustHaveRocknRoll And thank GAWD for that.....! He was a Mover and Shaker in this temporal life.....! try imaging going back to when it all started. Peace \ / :)
"After pondering over the words to New Dawn Fades, I broached the subject with Ian, trying to make him confirm that they were only lyrics and bore no resemblance to his true feelings. It was a one-sided conversation. He refused to confirm or deny any of the points raised and he walked out of the house. I was left questioning myself instead, but did not feel close enough to anyone else to voice my fears."
I hope, there is something like artist heaven. You know. I really want Ian to know, how he changed the music world. What a influence he left. What a hero and genius he is and how we adore him. P.S. Best guitar riff ever. It ate me. Literally
A cross of The Doors and Black Sabbath through their own distinct sound - one of their most memorable tracks. The end of the chorus is enough to make one soar to the skies.
Such an epic tune. The only other song that i can think off that comes close to this is maybe Nice dream or No Surprises, songs that when you feel like shit & feel nothing can perk you up and when you feel good they make you feel even better, as i said, Epic.
@TruGamer128 Um, I don't think that you could really call this band "underrated". They changed the face of music in a lot of areas and while not as popular in the mainstream US many many many of the musicians in the world today not only know who these guys are, but were also influenced by their music.
Jeez I am 53 soon and Ian's voice still haunt's my mind every now and again and through other totally amazing vocalists I still love. My usual departure is via headphones and some JD on ice. Good to see the Joy DIvision with Ian arestill remembered so well.
a great detachment to their instruments here, they sounded like they just couldnt be arsed playing to begin with but then it all just fell into place.
There are a lot of songs about happines, being powerfull etc...but there a few songs about the haunting feelings of depression and guilt. And Ian was for real... It's gives me an uneasy feeling: It's so beautiful done and still it has a dangerous side: this is not a good song to listen when you're feeling a lot of self pity...
But: “Honesty is as rare as a man without self-pity” (fine quote from S V Benet).
A chance to watch, admire the distance, Still occupied, though you forget. Different colours, different shades, Over each mistakes were made. I took the blame. Directionless so plain to see, A loaded gun won't set you free. So you say. We'll share a drink and step outside, An angry voice and one who cried, 'We'll give you everything and more, The strain's too much, can't take much more.' I've walked on water, run through fire, Can't seem to feel it anymore.
Just discovered this brilliant fucking track.Powerful...
btw I shall digress,but I MUST SHOUT ON ROOFTOPS ON HAPPY I AM 2 AT LONG BLOODYFUCKINGLAST UNDERSTAND LYRICS WRITTEN BY UK/ US BANDS (work of a lifetime). It means so much to me. Mind you I have dscovered that in some cases, there never was anthing to be understood all along! (Bowie's mumbo jumbo,etc...)
Is there realy a "correct way" to play an instrument? Sure, there is the academic way, but cant we say Joy Division played perfectly, because they made us feel what they wanted us to feel, and isnt that the point of art?
I count myself lucky that I saw this band live so so long ago but this tune can still move me to tears.....haven't we all felt like this at some time..New Dawn Fades...a loded gun won't set you free...so you say...fucking magic
'Oh, I've walked on water, run through fire,

It was a one-sided conversation. He refused to confirm or deny any of the points raised and he walked out of the house. I was left questioning myself instead, but did not feel close enough to anyone else to voice my fears."

@monkeys37 The last line almost sounds like Curtis lyrics even though its deborah Curtis.

I hope, there is something like artist heaven. You know. I really want Ian to know, how he changed the music world. What a influence he left. What a hero and genius he is and how we adore him. P.S. Best guitar riff ever. It ate me. Literally

Sisters of Mercy tries hard to this sound in early tracks but they fail......ad I really like early SoM, this song is epic

A cross of The Doors and Black Sabbath through their own distinct sound - one of their most memorable tracks. The end of the chorus is enough to make one soar to the skies.

Such an epic tune. The only other song that i can think off that comes close to this is maybe Nice dream or No Surprises, songs that when you feel like shit & feel nothing can perk you up and when you feel good they make you feel even better, as i said, Epic.

Underrated? You sure? By who? Only by people with no soul, surely, but since when did their opinion count for fuck all?

@TruGamer128 I beg to Differ.They are not underrated. It's just there's too many dumb people to truely appreciate good music.

@TruGamer128 Um, I don't think that you could really call this band "underrated". They changed the face of music in a lot of areas and while not as popular in the mainstream US many many many of the musicians in the world today not only know who these guys are, but were also influenced by their music.

Jeez I am 53 soon and Ian's voice still haunt's my mind every now and again and through other totally amazing vocalists I still love. My usual departure is via headphones and some JD on ice. Good to see the Joy DIvision with Ian arestill remembered so well.

a great detachment to their instruments here, they sounded like they just couldnt be arsed playing to begin with but then it all just fell into place.

Admiration from a distance..
There are a lot of songs about happines, being powerfull etc...but there a few songs about the haunting feelings of depression and guilt. And Ian was for real... It's gives me an uneasy feeling: It's so beautiful done and still it has a dangerous side: this is not a good song to listen when you're feeling a lot of self pity...
But: “Honesty is as rare as a man without self-pity” (fine quote from S V Benet).

@potchoker
Is there realy a "correct way" to play an instrument? Sure, there is the academic way, but cant we say Joy Division played perfectly, because they made us feel what they wanted us to feel, and isnt that the point of art?
