Joy Division - 07 - Twenty Four Hours

[dianalee84]

If bleak, stark hopeless depression had a sound, this it what'd sound like. R.I.P Ian Curtis

[VADER666PL]

great f....song

[Chris323B]

push the antelope!

[JoyDivisiongirl]

in my top 5 of JD's songs...although it is so hard to narrow it down./..but the drums and bass make it epic!

[TheStroke182]

does anyone realized there was something wrong with Ian? I mean, all his friends read the lyrics. It's hard to think that a man who writes songs like this was alright. What kind of friends they were?

[user3182]

@TheStroke182 Actually the band members have said that they never really paid attention to the lyrics before Ian's suicide

[copencat]

3:28 - 3:40 my favorite line....

[dorisblake]

i'm not sure i like his voice. trying to get a sense of this album cuz it was on a list of greatest albums.

[SuperiFox]

@dorisblake It grows on you. It really does.

[JoyDivisiongirl]

Ian wrote the most powerful,honest,heartbreaking lyrics i've ever heard...the rest of the band are incredible as well...it was fate that 4 men should meet up and change people with their music and lyrics....

[flairgybe]

54 year old git but it still does it for me.

come on kids push the envelope

[krispyrenee]

saved my life RIP IAN

[grapaparazo]

Awesome!!!

[freudastaire]

Best driving music ever.

[qwert4327able]

interpol is a complete rip off of joy division

[cometogether21]

@qwert4327able Not really, just the same genre.

[glider1989]

@qwert4327able

I'm not necessarily the world's keenest Interpol fan, though I must say, Paul Banks sounds far more like Vincent Price than Ian Curtis. The lion's share of modern post-punk acts will indeed reek of Joy Division's air, just as so many of JD's closely trailing post-punk, darkwave and coldwave contemporaries did. Joy division weren't without their crop of influences either. (see Velvet Underground, The Doors, Can, Neu!, Faust, Kraftwerk, Iggy Pop, Brian Eno)

[MoneyBagsMartinez]

reminds me of interpol

[drolmyrg]

@MoneyBagsMartinez No, Interpol reminds you of Joy Division

[notrepppp]

@drolmyrg wrong

[man0m0ut]

only 21526 views.....looks like today's music has better lyrics and feeling.....get the irony?

[Celestialhost]

When I was at college, I used to love reading Batman comics while listening to Joy Division. Perfect combination.

[uberalles2]

It's hard to beleive these weren't musicians a mere 4 years before creating this. To achieve so much in so little time. Every member contributing their own special part to the music. Ian was great, but I think he over shadow's the others who were equally as great.

[firewx]

I always thought this song was a call for help..

[carlamccoy]

Awesome song... "gotta find my destiny before it is too late"... so true...

@firewx:

I think, it is (or has been) definitely a call for help.

[locomotifx]

Yeah, it's one of those simply, not-too-dumbly repetitive songs which illustrate that complexity in music lies, fundamentally, not in rhythmic and/or melodic complexity per se but the ability of an artist to move and manipulate our feelings, to communicate.

[thrillerman83]

@locomotifx And that, my friend, is the beauty of Closer, and Joy Division as a whole...

[nobbyarny]

Class tune. Karma to Burn did a good cover too, prob one of the best JD covers out there

[LORDAVICHO]

DENSO CAVERNICOLAMENTE ESPELUZNANTE GENIAL!!!!

[Azargled]

one of the album's highlights, for sure.

simple but excellent bass, as it was said.

[psicogivia]

cada una de las cansiones de Joy Division, en este disco, son excelentes!

[AlbinusMakedonion]

This song scares the hell out of me! It gaves me nightmares, really awful nightmares. Specially the "look beyond the day in hand... THERE NOTHING THERE AT ALL" fragment.

I LOVE IT! One of the best albums in the history of music!

[RussianCivilian]

I can't believe this was a B-side! They must not have realized. Then again, Green Onions was a B-side haha.... damn people, flip your records over!

[thrillerman83]

@RussianCivilian If a record/album is such a masterpiece, carefully crafted 'n arranged, I don't think it should matter whether it's on a B-side or not

[Icepad2]

my song life

[SWF90]

I love playing this song on bass, it's probably one of the simplist to play but it's got to be one of the best bass riffs in Rock music, RIP Ian Curtis 56-80

[sematarymusic]

@SWF90 dude i was gonna say, i had to play drums for this we covered in a band around late 2009.

and fuck. words cant really express the feeling i got from when we played this.

[HeliosThe]

@SWF90 it's not so simplicistic to play... playing the strings unfretted cause a lot of problems about background noise 0o I can play harder stuff like Hendrix but I still can't play well this song

[TheUtubesuxass]

Ian RIP

[Ricksy]

boss drumming on this :D
