@matthewceedy you know nothing. Go read Deborah curtis' on the life of ian curtis and come back. Not everything is always good. Love will tear us apart
If you like José González, if you like his particular touch of string and his melodic and melancholic songs, you have to write "José González France" on Google.
There, you can find all you want and all you can dream about José González : Albums, EPs, interviews, lives and all the JG's songs in a unique playlist.
So, write now "José González France" on Google, even you're not french, of course.
If I wanted to listen to JD, I'd listen to JD. Instead, I'm listening to Jose Gonzalez. I think it's a great cover, in the sense that it doesn't sound like the original song. Why? Because it's not supposed to. It's a cover. I don't want to hear the exact same version of the song. I want to hear how it's interpreted. Music is a universal language, but we all interpret it differently. And covers are a perfect example of this.
See the Jose Gonzalez with the Divine comedy @ Greenwich Summer Sessions on 26th July in the beautiful grounds of the Old Royal Naval College tickets selling fast greenwichsummersessions.co.uk...
@TonyOnlyandFriends I am a longtime fan of Joy Division. I think this is a nice HOMAGE, but to make a GROSS statement. That their fans are shittym because of a few idiots is SHITTY.
It's become far too cool to like Joy Division. The original of this is probably my favourite song and this is a really nice cover. It keeps the spirit of the song. If someone had remixed into a trance or a hard house track then I could understand the hostility.
why dont some of you understand that when an artist covers a song they arent necessarily trying to make it better than the original? they cover the song because they like it and want to make it their own.
he's really good but for me it's not the same song without the backing sound (dunno which instrument) i hope you know what i mean:) and i'm not a joy division fan:D
@MrStewartisme you're right no one will match ian. but the thing is that jose doesn't want to match him. he just does a very good cover of an outstanding song. nothing more nothing less.
It's Jose's interpretation of the original. He's being true to his style. I like both versions, and Yes, I'm Joy Division / New Order / Electronic / Monaco fan.
I think Ian would have appreciated being covered by a wonderful artist. I am a Joy Division fan more than I am a Gonzalez fan, but I think covering a song is the ultimate respect to the original artist.
why does it have to be one way or the other? Joy division is great, Jose gonzalez is great. Sometimes you just wanna play a song you love on your guitar. i think thats about it, lol.
why does it have to be one way or the other? Joy division is great, Jose gonzalez is great. Sometimes you just wanna play a song you love on your guitar. i think thats about it, lol.
@brandnewshoesfool Well to be honest. I adore Joy Division. But when did Ian Curtis sing this like he was arsed? Seriously, it's about the feeling you get with a song. I think people should not hate on the way someone looks. If you do like so, it's no problem. You can check out all those Idols tv-shows. And in my opinion we should all cherish the moments at the beach where we can play any song we want being stoned and dancing our socks off.
@brandnewshoesfool it's not true! I love JD but i'm not a pretentious asshole. i think that people who are this pretensious fans became fans after watching the movie "control". When it was in the cinema almost everyone was talking about it. Before the film almost noone knew who Joy Division is and after - everyone was the bigest fan ever. so don't overdose, becose there are some people, who used to like JD before huge mass media promotion
@zuzofon Haha , its funny cause I loved Death Cab and then they were on some teenage show like the O.C. or something and suddenly they were "everyones favorite " band . I was glad for them , but it can make you pretentious if you think to yourself , I liked them first . The funny thing is you want to play your band's music for your friends ,but you don't want all those "other" people into them . The whole idea is silly , but we humans are kinda dumb . Peace.
@jbri1 There is a difference though between pride and arrogance, people can love Joy Division all they want, but to dismiss other people based purely on the fact that they aren't JD is just ignorance.
there's a horrid attempt at ownership over joy division. i agree, everyone who think's they're a "real joy division fan", is full of shit. that shit is LONG gone. long gone. but, everyone thinks they're so fucking real, so fucking old, so fucking indie, so fucking post-modern, so fucking cool. ANYTHING IS COOL.
@matthewceedy I can't be bothered with labels people put on music, one of the coolest kids I know who really knows his music taught me putting labels on music like that is ridiculous, and so is being a "real fan" if you like the music, if it speaks to you, enjoy it and don't let anyone tell you you're not listening to the good stuff from that band, it's what you like... Far too many pretentious "real fans" ruin it for everyone.
What the fuck is the obssession with REAL musicians? What do you even mean by that? Classically trained musicians? Or just anyone who isn't Justin Bieber? Listen, if it makes the hairs on the back of your neck stand up then it's good music. Regardless of whether it's "real" or not.
I'll give it you, this performance was pretty 'meh'.
But Jose is as far as REAL musicians can go. This guy plays outrageously well and it's just him and his guitar, No Synthesizers, nothing. Saying something as outrageous as Jose is killing real musicians is ludicrous and should, instead, be reserved for pseudo musicians like Rihanna or something.
@deuxxable Pea brain! Joy division made an untouchable cover, However Jose puts his own style to the record and is brilliant in his own way. As REAL musicians do! Not everyones bag, but to any sane person quite clearly gifted and very much REAL!
@surwadilykap "brilliant in his own way"?? Take a guitar and play it with the same boring rhythm, accompanying this with a plaintive tone of voice...and do the same thing dozens of times... Yeah you're right, this means being REAL MUSICIAN!
@deuxxable or you could be more open minded and consider that its not about how technically good you play the music, in this case its about how those tones of the guitar blend so nicely together and how suited his style of singing fits with the way he plays. I feel that he manages to really capture his own style when playing this, even if technically he hasnt made it more complex or innovative. i like it, and i think he is a good musician.
@surwadilykap I don't know if this men is really gifted, but if he is really talented, he should use his music skill in other ways! People like to listen to plaintive songs, and it's easy do this using the success of a popular song... If you think that these are real musician, you could go crazy for SAGI REI or EVA CASSIDY. Certainly people can like these songs, but this doesn't mean that these are music genius.
I don't like these type of music (singers that copy songs and make them a whimper), but I have to admit that compare Eva Cassidy to Jose Gonzales is a sacrilege. Eva forgive me for doing it!

Thanks a lot Jose Gonzalez, you have completely ruined Joy Division's original version for me. I can't even listen to it now. But only because your version is heaps better.
this man is brillant your music connect all your feels , incredible , in my country , chile not how much people listen to jose but this man is incredibel!
this cover is brilliant. now i know why i stopped listening to indie, moving towards electronica..because all u guys are retards. look at these comments.. lol.
quite true, i think he surpresses the emotion a bit intentionally. this creates a ´bit of tension as we wait for a peak or somthing, but it never comes , maybe thats also why i can listen to this song a thousand times and it never gets boring.
Very few musicians can get a song from another and make it their own, and Jose Gonzalez just did that with this simple and brilliant version for Love Will tear Us Apart. Bravo for him, and the haters can keep on hating, their loss.
Ian... Ian is hanging himself, again... Wow.. This is so beyond sad. Poor Ian. Poor, poor Ian. His voice gives me a Mary Hart epileptic seizure. Get to the source kids. Wake the fuck up. JOY DIVISON. So sad that Ian poured his heart and soul into this song to hear it be completely butchered by ugly talentless tards like this for their pure greed of fame and fortune. Shame on any of these ignorant morons ripping off REAL art.
The song was written by Ian Curtis in 1979. After many years of depression, he killed himself in 1980. "Love will tear us apart" was inscribed on his memorial stone.
check wiki, sad story. it goes along with the lyrics
Jose Gonzalez is by far the best musician Sweden has to offer. His cover of "the Knifes" song "Heartbeats" has over 7 million views, which is pretty impressive for a Swedish artist (forget ABBA, that shit was before real music).
Even if he is one of the biggest Swedish artists internationally , the music who top our music-lists is she-male Lady GaGa and white-trash Eminem. Even in Sweden. José González is too deep, too powerful to hit in this country.
@RedeboProductions So to prove that jose is the best sweden has to offer you name his the knife cover, while in fact the knife are swedish as well.. Jose gonzales is not even close to be the biggest swedish artist internationally. Thats a fact although I don't feel like namedropping..
@RedeboProductions "Forget ABBA, taht shit was before real music) HAHAHA, yyeeaaa right, like the 60s isnt real music, do you know how much good and unknown songs from the 60s almost none has heard of, searc ricky nelson - gloomy sunday, and tell me that it isnt real music, fuck you svenske faenskap
I do agree that Matsson is the greatest songwriter in Sweden atm. So yeah, I just had a period with only Jose Gonzalez when writing that comment. TMOE is the most awesome thing I have ever listened to.
Highly dubious comment; I like González, I got his albums, and I've seen him live; he is one of the sharpest in Sweden, but there are many that are on the same level, or above in some regards (the mentioned the Knife/Dreijer are better at song writing, and in my mind better artists in the sense of artistry, but José crafts the tune like few others).

@Letes92 yeahyeah, read my comments down below. I had a little "jose gonzalez"-period when I wrote that comment. Everyone has different taste i music. Merry Christmas =)
@RedeboProductions a lot of the times its the too deep too real that miss the boat and the overly simply fluff pop that makes the money its sad but atleast with the internet we can follow along and when given a chance even jose will sell out a venue worthy of a decent pay day for him i hope

He's a great guitarist, but there's no emotion in his voice.
tobymerwin 1 year ago
quite true, i think he surpresses the emotion a bit intentionally. this creates a ´bit of tension as we wait for a peak or somthing, but it never comes , maybe thats also why i can listen to this song a thousand times and it never gets boring.
same thing with crosses and most of his songs...

Very few musicians can get a song from another and make it their own, and Jose Gonzalez just did that with this simple and brilliant version for Love Will tear Us Apart. Bravo for him, and the haters can keep on hating, their loss.

Ian... Ian is hanging himself, again... Wow.. This is so beyond sad. Poor Ian. Poor, poor Ian. His voice gives me a Mary Hart epileptic seizure. Get to the source kids. Wake the fuck up. JOY DIVISON. So sad that Ian poured his heart and soul into this song to hear it be completely butchered by ugly talentless tards like this for their pure greed of fame and fortune. Shame on any of these ignorant morons ripping off REAL art.

The song was written by Ian Curtis in 1979. After many years of depression, he killed himself in 1980. "Love will tear us apart" was inscribed on his memorial stone.
check wiki, sad story. it goes along with the lyrics

This is absolute crap compared to the Joy division version, im disappointed seeing as how the "heartbeats" cover was pretty decent.

Jose Gonzalez is by far the best musician Sweden has to offer. His cover of "the Knifes" song "Heartbeats" has over 7 million views, which is pretty impressive for a Swedish artist (forget ABBA, that shit was before real music).
Even if he is one of the biggest Swedish artists internationally , the music who top our music-lists is she-male Lady GaGa and white-trash Eminem. Even in Sweden. José González is too deep, too powerful to hit in this country.
This is real music, folks, so enjoy.

@RedeboProductions So to prove that jose is the best sweden has to offer you name his the knife cover, while in fact the knife are swedish as well.. Jose gonzales is not even close to be the biggest swedish artist internationally. Thats a fact although I don't feel like namedropping..

Eminem may be white trash, he even admits it, but listen to his lyrics before patronizing him.

I do agree that Matsson is the greatest songwriter in Sweden atm. So yeah, I just had a period with only Jose Gonzalez when writing that comment. TMOE is the most awesome thing I have ever listened to.
RedeboProductions 1 year ago
@RedeboProductions No worries, I'm the same way haha. And I agree completely, TMOE is ridiculously good.

@RedeboProductions The Tallest Man On Earth is also swedish and pretty great. You should listen his music.

Highly dubious comment; I like González, I got his albums, and I've seen him live; he is one of the sharpest in Sweden, but there are many that are on the same level, or above in some regards (the mentioned the Knife/Dreijer are better at song writing, and in my mind better artists in the sense of artistry, but José crafts the tune like few others).

@RedeboProductions a lot of the times its the too deep too real that miss the boat and the overly simply fluff pop that makes the money its sad but atleast with the internet we can follow along and when given a chance even jose will sell out a venue worthy of a decent pay day for him i hope
