  • one of the best ever from the era...

  • Comment removed

  • To say that this video and music are "Emo" is stupid... "Emos" copied some of the gothic style (and many things of other styles)... they create poor superficial lyrics and arrangements and are not original, this can not be compared to Joy Division and other bands of end 70's and 80's... on that decade we had the born of the real Dark style, something new at that moment... Joy Diviion is the transition of Punk to Dark/Gothic, too much important to the scene... "Emos" are... cry children maybe?...

  • My very first Joy Division song.

  • hmmmm, Joy Division isn' t emo, but it seems that many people here should go and check up real emo.

  • I've lost control of time after listening to this 1136725 times

  • I'm a thug and I love joy division.

  • i fuckin love joy division, but people..you do know that 'emo' meens 'emotional'...most music is 'emotional'...people singing about there emotions. long live joy division. ian you fuckin legend

  • q pedo con este pinche video EMO!!! le diste en la madre a la rola y en especial a uno de los mejores grupos del postpunk!!! no puede ser posible q se lo adueñen solo por q se identificaron con la pelicula de control, q ni sabian q existia joy division hasta q saliò la movie!!! VALES MADRE!!!

  • This is not emo music, this is classic of rock ...

  • this is NOT emo fuck those people that say this is...............

  • stop talking about the genre of Joy Division's music and start listening and learning.

  • if joy division is emo music, your mother is your fuckin father !

    or you are just a cunt

    joy division you cunt !

  • @S4M3L

    Food for thought S4M3L......the eloquence of your argument almost convinces my that Joy Division, is indeed, a 'cunt'......then again, it could just be that you are a pathetic piece of small minded vermin, the like of which I wouldn't soil my shoes with by stepping on.....I wonder which it is?

  • @steveobie1 i think you misunderstanding, if you arent a fan of JD you will never understood it.

    Because if you were, you should know how Ian convince to JD Tony Wilson's mind.

    Maybe shut down your computer now and read something, maybe book ;D

  • @S4M3L That doesn't even make sense.

    In fairness though, I didn't see the 'If'' at the start of your first post and thought you were saying that Joy Division was 'Emo' music!....whatever,......JD are the finest band this planet has ever seen, I don't care what labels people want to give them as long as they appreciate their pure genius.

  • THE best song ever written!

  • Why does only Ian Curtis get all the credit for Joy Division? Because of his suicide?....So what? What about the guitars? What about the drums? Aren't they good as well?

    They supposedly were just learning to play their instruments and look how good they ended up sounding. That's amazing. But everything's always centered around Ian.....

  • Always loved this tune and this video is quite cool to(Maybe I just fancy the young lady in the video.)

  • im all over this love it

  • emo = wanky bullshit poser music. THIS is JOY DIVISION. Real music with invention, originality, songwriting, musicianship. There is NO comparison to emo wank!!  Get a clue kids.

  • nice job on the video production. true joy division fans are awesome!

  • You kids need to just cut "emo" out of your vocabulary.

  • wonderfull song !

  • lol what? somebody called this emo, how old are they?

  • creo que la foto esta bien pero la historia si esta un poco sosa y obvia, hay muchas formas de perder el control hay que ponerle mas neurona, pero no te desanimes cagandola se aprende

  • This isn't official. what the hell. I love joy division. good bye.

  • A 5 star song: She's Lost Control - Joy Division - 1979 - "AMG Pick. The song centres on Peter Hook's cool, droning, minimalist bassline formed over a methodical and mechanistic drum beat, courtesy of Stephen Morris. Live, the song would be played at a faster pace, and much more aggressive,..." - Substance 1977-1980 (Qwest)-1988. NOTE: The above CD is one that you should check out.

  • This video is emo, i fuckin know Joy Division isn´t emo retards i have all their records, but this crappy video is Emo

  • whoa, what's this version. I like it.

  • Reverendo idiota el que dijo que esto es emo, ésto si es calidad, no es para aficionados.

  • com pitos va a cer emo e spunk

  • Remembering Ian Curtis 30 years later -- a great music legend and greatly missed!

  • i love that movie to

  • 24 Hour party people ... loved that movie,specially everytime i hear this song i can stop thinking about that part when the producer said to the drummer ' whf r you doing,what's that noise,go play outside' and he did,the band left and you can see the guy playing this drum set on the roof... Great!

  • Thers's not any girl in this song, only Ian

  • i just got epilepsy 9 months ago and have been a joy division fan since i was 15 now 38 .....I see this song in a whole new light ...im on the same meds that ian was on and its not fun ...lost my job ...no more skateboarding .....alot of random confusion

  • Don`t lose faith,darlin,you`ll be ok ..!

  • still great

  • very very good, fantastic :D:D:D and first time i seen girls 13-17 a major audience in joy division video

  • This video is totally unrelated to the actual meaning of the song. It sucks.

  • I completely agree.

  • Fantastic!

  • i have so much respect for Ian Curtis after watching that doc. if you like joy division watch there documentry

  • @wallis420 to what documentary are you referring to?

  • cool song

  • hell yes!!!!

  • You got it! The video is perfect for this amazing song. Thank you!

  • I love this song

  • i really love the song but the video is tottaly crap

  • forget ian curtis his poor wife dealt with the most- he was too busy being self absorbed

  • stop judging him, you don't even know what he went through

  • the first thing i thought about when i read this post was that it was from a woman. well, i was right. why don't you try and get insane if it was as 'easy' as hanging himself?

  • Fuckwit.

  • @isabellefraggleface... you try living with what ian had.. if you actualy know about him, you will understand this song... and how mutch it affects people and himself... thats why he took his own life, he couldnt live with the condition....

  • woah woah woah, he didn't commit suicide because of his epilepsy, he took his own life because his band had no control in which direction it was going, AND he was having a ton of relationship issues. Maybe the condition was a factor, but certainly not the only reason.

  • @Lexd1989 and sort because he had a Mr T-esque phobia of flying and didn't want to tour America

  • Not the real video clip, but nice work it looks like a bit

  • powerful mv , and I began to love joy division

  • isadivina is a puta

  • Love this song by the greatest Post-Punk/Goth band ever! :D

  • This band is so kickass.

  • coming to think about it...one would loose control listening to it x)

  • FOR Anarcomunist77

    EMO,YOUR BASTARD,IS THIS POS PUNK,YOUR BASTARD,LOSER.IDIOT.

  • ...he said joy division is NOT emo...

    but never mind

  • soberbioooo

  • Respeto ser emo no es ser gay ,no tiene nada de malo ser emo o gay y joy division no es emo es la hostia.

  • Emo is just a stupid label for KIDS these days who weren't even born when this music was made (yawn) ----> NEXT!

  • yes this is is what made punk music what it is today

  • This version from Unknown Pleasures is great, but the later 12in. version that they re-recorded in 1980 with the extra verse is even better.

  • EMO?

    lmfao

    emo was started in the 90's

    This is clearly post punk /=

  • Still one of the best song ever!

  • To call this "emo"... I think public execution by stoning is in order... Joy Division wipes the floor with any stupid little emo garbage band, any day... Joy Division rules, then, now and forever...

  • @modsleix6 lol emo kids trolling this page eh, lol

  • Brilliant video!

  • and wtf...emo didnt even exist back then fucking retards

  • it was far worse for ian curtis.not only did he live there, he had serious problems with coping

  • This is NOT gross and certainly not emo! It's about epilepsy. And it's one of the greatest songs I know!

  • great band-great song

  • fuck you emo

  • this is not emo...this is quality music

  • @heleninmypants Its actually Post-Punk being Born and Perfected.

  • @heleninmypants Who was the assh*le who called this emo?

  • these will never be emo, joy division is cold wave!

  • Do you have any musical education?

  • do you even know what the word emo means?

    what about the word ignorance?

  • nemetimarian<<

    it´s NOT grosss I´ts an part of history...

  • Great song. I didn't appreciate Joy Division so much at the time, but some things from that era which I appreciated then sound crap now. This has stood the test of time, it has its own stark integrity.

  • ich finde die Band sowieso total cool. das Video muss ihc mir nich umbedingt ansehen, doch das Lied is cool

  • best man best group.. no comment

  • Hey you guys I just did a search 20 minutes after watching Control - I was interested in the hypnotism of Ian by Bernard so I googled a search and came up with 666 results !!! SCARY OR WHAT

    Try it yourself (it might still work) using the search phrase

    bernard sumner was studying hypnotism ian curtis

    or look at the video I made showing the search and results on my youtube page

  • I've googled it too, but there was only 589 results.

  • The legend...

  • great song, great band.

  • only that the song speaks about singer's soul, no for any girl

  • The song is about a girl he met in an home for people with extreme epilepsy, and how his epilepsy was getting worse, and his thoughts that he will end up like that.

  • Close, zeberdee. How it came about was that Ian worked at a jobcentre as a DRO(Disablement Resettlement Officer) and his job was to assist people with disabilities find work.

    One of the people he helped was this epileptic girl(Ian himself was epileptic, so it would ahve struck a chord with him). When she stopped coming into the Jobcentre he phoned her family and was told that she'd had a really bad fit and died, and that event inspired this song.

  • Paulph, that's very sad...just out of interest, where did you read or hear this?

  • Hi Droyd. It's in Touching From A Distance, the book written by Deborah Curtis about her life with Ian. And the Control movie refers to it too.

    Thanks, Paul.

  • The book is great and the film does it justice. Theres a little more to it but thats pretty right..

  • Make me think about Alejandra Pizarnik.

    Thank you for this.

  • J'ai vu le film sur la vie de Ian, francement c'etait génial... J'aimais pas vraiment Joy Division Mais là j'adore... Cette chanson est super

  • Dire qu'il faut un film pour que Joy Division soit enfin reconnu comme tel !

    On vit vraiment dans une société de merde où l'image people est la reine...

  • super mais c'est she' S lost control (bien noter le S )

  • I Love this song...

  • black n white ... it just has to be

  • hiciste el video? es brutal!

  • this is beautiful, I'm so glad I got to find it.

  • cool lo-fi quality, like graffiti...

  • Nice remix
