@Gust1more If at all he killed Ian Curtis' Interpretation. I'd rather say he killed your idea of it. But he gave light to his idea of it. A song is free and has no wrong or right in itself.
Strange how we find things at certain moments in our lives that strike us with such intensity. I applaud you sir, whoever you are. This song sung by you is in a word, pivotal.
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 cunts like this for their pure greed of fame and fortune. Shame on any of these ignorant morons ripping off REAL art.
You did the impossible and brought new life to a classic untouchable song. I'm a massive JD fan and I can pay you no bigger compliment than to say you brought new meaning to the song as well. Bravo...more power to your elbow sir.
I would buy this cover if it were available somewhere. VERY good! Although the pace is different from the Joy Division original, I disagree with the other users who say it doesn't work. This version moved me. Thanks
It is a pleasure to watch and hear musical talent combined with true empathy (soul). Thank you.
D.M. recovering from severe epilepsy manifested suddenly age 42, recovering brain surgery and now learning acoustic guitar. While my conditions are very similar to I.C. in no way can I ever reach his talent.
Who's is that singing this version guys?? It's freckin amazing... some comments have said that the song does Ian some justice... can't help but agree. It's very difficult to cover this song properly but this guy nails it, I must say. Well done!!!
However I think the song isn't suited to this slow tempo, and somehow the piano just sounds completely wrong to me. I can't explain exactly what i mean. Kind of like it's sad and romantic; like the theme to titanic. It's as if you're being nostalgic and sad, whereas with the original you get a sense of frustration and anger under the surface, instead of just sadness.
Sorry if this makes no sense. I can't put it into words any better.
With simionTheone on this occasion. This is brave stuff ; Robert Smith aside, I normally cringe when I hear the opening chords of any cover version of this,(U2 anyone ?), but i will listen to this again. Paul Young away and throw shit at yourself.
An interesting take on what is an enormously painful song hidden in the guise of a pop song, I doubt many people who have heard Joy Divison performance realize the despair hidden within it.
hey just wanted to say your verson inspired my band and we did a cover in a sense of your cover and id just like to say u did a really emotional verson of this song and its quite amazing bcause of that.
De todas las versiones que he escuchado de esta hermosa canción, creo que ésta es la única que le hace un aporte y le dá una dimensión más profunda. !excelente tngregory!
haunting and sorrowful... great version of a classic song. well done mate.
just a slight request. halve the reverb output and add a long clean single delay. the verb here sounds too quick in its reflection giving it a 'doiiiiiiing' fx. unless using the best gear, ive found bring the fx up till you hear it easily, then turn it down till you cant hear it, then back up till you can just hear it. at 1st i didnt like the piano sound but it grows on me and adds character
it's easy to make an arse of this one but you've made it your own....it's above and beyond any cover i've heard on youtube. in fact it's a truly great performance regardless of it being a cover.
You're fantastic. Brilliant work mate. It's just terrible that people prefer fucking asshole fall out boy over something so sincere as this. regardless, spot on performance!
Anyone who thinks this sucks is stupid. Until you have tried to cover any song, and seen firsthand just how hard it is..... you should simply call it what it is: Awesome! This guy rocks! the fool before me knows nothing about what living or being hardcore is.......
The fact so many feel compelled to cover this song, especially in such melancholy styles, is testament to Curtis' lyrics being so poetically powerful.
beautiful

Only ever not hated one woman in my life, I broke up with her yesterday. It's sad how similar yet how different we humans are.
This brought me tears before I ever loved her or knew her, and it still does.
Nobody knows why we cry, but I really need this...
