  • beautiful

  • Speechless :)

  • 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...

  • Most excellent.

  • great take bro very moving I'm touched

  • Wat een geweldige uitvoering!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Beautiful beyond words. A gift to us all. Thank you...

  • At 2:34 Ian Curtis rolled over in his grave!! Man u murdered one of the most amazing songs ever written.

  • @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.

  • im falling in love with your voice...

  • i love

  • Good

  • 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.

  • very beautiful, emotion...

  • Simply Beautiful ..., maybe after all - once I might have been in love ..., who knows ... .

  • 644 people don't know joy division

  • I just found your channel today, and I'm loving it. You are so talented. I'll listen to them all sooner or later.

  • Nice voice, nice interpretation of one of my favourite songs from the 80s.

  • Muy bien, amigo.... Tienes una voz preciosa. Greetings from Spain ( Barcelona )

  • great stuff

  • Perfect cover.

  • very good indeed his cover

    congrats

  • I just broke up with my gf, and this song brings a tear to my eye

  • 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.

  • Absolutely fucking beautiful.

  • 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

  • Beautiful song, good cover, great voice.

  • I have come back to this video five times. I don't know if you are a professional musician but this is a beautiful version of the song.

  • Great voice my friend, EXCELLENT cover !!!

  • It certainly better than Paul Young's version.

  • @Duffop Talk about damning something with faint praise, bruv!

  • This cut as a eerie aspect to it and unlike other versions pays justice to Ian Curtis singing Love will tear us apart

  • Comment removed

  • You have so much emotion in your voice, this is an awesome cover. Thank-you for sharing.

  • Please sing more and upload more!! I love your voice :)

    Olga

  • is it me or does his voice sound similar to the singer of the editors?

  • Very great cover, much feeling in your sound and voice, I love it - greetings and recognition :-)

    Magnus

  • 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.

  • I went through my teens with this song.

    This is an amazing cover.

    So raw and beautiful.

  • Your voice is amazing!!! So versatile!! AHH! You are fantastic!!!!!

  • As a very big Joy Division Fan I have just to say: Respect! Very good. And thank you very much for this great cover.

  • Great cover.

  • Song with Passion

  • to me...this is like the "Shattered Memories" to the Silent Hill series...if anyone catches my drift.

  • RESPECT!!!!!!

  • 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!!!

  • there´s a lot of versions of this song but no one including Moonspell do it well. ..WOW great cover...

    -Ian Curtis: now you can rest in peace

  • trés bonne voix.

  • Haunting and gorgeous... great job.

  • Another idiot trying to be sad

  • Your voice is really good, i'm impressed.

    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.

  • 2:33....chills man, chills

  • good version....and a decent voice too....

  • Amazing cover for amazing song, The only cover that I saw and liked.

    RIP Ian

  • Amazing cover, the ONLY one that i saw and loved

  • dammit buddy, that was really touching....awesome voice with soooo much expression!!!

  • great cover

  • heart wrenching song, great cover.. sensitive treatment

  • very very close to the joi division version

    i like !!

  • Very well done. I like it better then the original, and that says a lot!

    Thanks for sharing.

  • steady

    nothing is better than the original............

  • This is so good...

  • beautiiful

    you sing it like you feel it .not many covers can say that

  • 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.

  • wow, just wow

    great cover

    finally someone apart from the cure to do it justice

    this is a deep way to cover the song, & your voice

    is what you want it to be for this type of song

  • ya know you like kinda look like Justin Furstenfield of Blue Ocotober, that's pretty cool

  • 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.

  • A very good sung version of the Joy Division song :)

  • Bravo !!!!!

  • Amazing.

    I wanted to clap at the end

  • Just Brilliant! You can really feel the power of the lyrics.

  • I just thinks it's too grave... sry.

  • greate job man

  • Awesome mate, Jauniena666 you are a fuckhead shut up.

    Great Version he understands the sincerity of the song and how to express it.

  • Bravo

  • i love you... verry verry nice song

  • Wow, I like your version of the song!

  • the hall true in 3;18.....bye my love

  • GUSTA.

  • no offence m8 but joy d's versions better, still good tho

  • Good enough that it deserves a slow clap. Bravo.

  • yes good voice and the better idea slow :D

  • Oh Fck I have died....this is BEAUTY in all it's forms

  • nice!!! good =D

  • This is great..I'd buy it now.

  • hes not supposed to be him. besides not a lot of people can make an awesome cover of a joy division song but this guy did it so shut your mouth

  • what the hell has that got to do with anythin?

  • Yes, I am a little green alien, sitting on a wall and throw stones on bad people.

  • "When routine bites hard.

    And ambitions are low."

    should be the starting wording, but I never did notice it untill now so naught matters.

    Still one of my favorite pieces of internet.

  • your voice is like the one of sivert høyem!

  • You have a wonderful voice- you are exceptionally talented. ;)

  • "When routines rides high"? -.-"

  • You look a bit like Heath Ledger... :')

    Beautiful cover <3

  • OUTSTANDING!

  • fucking dog's ball;s this is brilliantly done. best solo cover by far, and by far i mean no other tuber can touch this, tngregory, you owned this.

  • beautifully sung.....

  • 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.

  • excellent.

  • 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!

  • painfully beautiful, you feel this song, I thought I saw tears in your eyes. Great job.

  • Thank`s to sleeping Buddha for show me this brilliant sad Song

  • Great voice, been listening to this guy for a while now, really dig what he is doing. Keep up the great work. All the best and take care.

  • this is amazing. Thanks for the post! KEep it up.

  • Belleza! Voz, música e imágenes que le rinden un excelente tributo a Joy Division.

  • Yes a respectful tribute version - check out The Swans version - circa 1984 - Ian still lives on in his music - CD

  • if piano was loader it would be perfec,

    well done

  • 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

  • Outstanding... Really breathtaking... well done!

  • beautiful...fantastic...you name it...i'm cryin!

  • Not an easy song to pull off.

    You sing this beautifully.

  • fantastic

  • awesome !!!

  • omg..so talented, beautifully done. thanks for sharing.

  • wow...

  • Brilliant man. Really .

  • that was something well done

  • 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.

  • brilliant

  • A pleasure to listen to, and congratulations on such talent.

  • so far this is the best version of ,... love will tear us apart

  • Very beautiful!!!

  • 1:45... your face... you are totally immersed in the song, and feeling the words... it's quite beautiful.

  • fucking powerful man!

  • This is so, so... I can't really say, no words. Just - from soul. Thak you for this.

  • So sad....I love this song, reminds me of an ex...love did tear us apart...I'm married now and so is she.. I still think of her

  • it`s so great song

    I will get

  • so beautiful...

    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!

  • Dude, chill out, its a good cover, whats with the stress? lol

  • Very moving...very,very moving.

  • I love your voice

  • 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.......

  • danke :)))

  • The fact so many feel compelled to cover this song, especially in such melancholy styles, is testament to Curtis' lyrics being so poetically powerful.

  • love..... great song.. :)

  • Great! Really great!

  • There are many many covers of this song. You have certainly set yourself apart.

  • dude uve got alot of power thats for sure

    holy fuck uve got alot of power

  • Try getting the lyrics right m8.
