Nouvelle Vague - Love will tear us apart (LIVE)

[yezkanavizyezkanaviz]

lovely ♥

[Mahmood42978]

wow great cover, better than that Paul Young cover at least

[daultry]

we just can't compare it to the original. anyways, think about how much a club remix would suck

[radiocrash]

This song is about a deep and emotional struggle and this band really isn't translating that story!

They really should have left it be

[poppyseed6969]

kinda hate it actually... makes me appreciate the original much more

[cagaima]

Excelente cover!

[siamak75017]

Ridiculous, no voice. Souds sheet

[TheNoise1234]

This is beautiful man

[porenquantoe]

It really sounds like brazilian music, like bossa nova or mpb.

[leandro2010202]

system of down 1:40, 1:42...

[elfodhia]

I just love when somebody makes a wonderful cover and makes it look like a total different song. That express a lot of creativity and talent as musicians

[shortie8512]

@elfodhia Couldn't agree more! I reckon Ian Curtis would have loved it.

[lewisspedding37]

this is nowhere near as decent as the album version

[MrARJBrown]

Great version of a great song. What's not to like?

[Cynnx7]

Most of the people who disliked this song are a bunch of Joy Division fanboys from the 70's so they are.. oooold Fanboys o.o

[minipcpro]

@Cynnx7 i am a Joy Division fanboy and think they were the greatest band of all time. This cover is absolutely beautiful and i just can't relate to all these haters here. It's scary to see how intolerant some people are.

[carbineautomatic]

i massively hate this

[StefanKoekemoer]

this shouldnt exist

[whitetigger88]

dude this chick is freakin hot, makes me think of sex on a french beach!!!!

[lustfull3]

noooooo, noooo, n...marian, they do well...

[northaunt]

they FUCKED this song UP. JOY DIVISION >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> this cunting crooked ass shit

[MrRyanhancock1234]

@northaunt

you are the defintion of retarded

[elfodhia]

@northaunt What a shit head you are!!!...

[xoumopoulada]

The original is great!

This cover is great too! It's just different. It's a cover after all!

[hcskandal]

yhy 1 inaf.. ;)

[hayafaris1]

For the girl who sings at the end > I got it love will tear us apart stop saying it !! and ur voice damn u killed the song

[1coodude]

My girlfriend saw them live and said they sucked ass

[boeszyslak]

@1coodude perhaps your girfriend is just jealous... the singer is too sexy!

[1coodude]

@boeszyslak ;)

[dusty01able]

pants



[gatomaru]

i want to kick the other chick in the head when she is crying to the mic love will tear us jesus.........................­.

[aljazperc]

Very sexy and amazing performance. Even better when you heard it live with audience singing. I thing its nice tribute to original version .

[832486426]

It's an interpretation of the original. It's not seeking to replace it, it's paying homage to it in a different light. Jeez stop whining!

[TheGoaBase]

the girl who sings at the end ...is shit!(ok you're an artist,be cool) ....thanks! the first ok!

[FraterAeternus93]

this is so bad and wrong . . 

[juniwilliams]

@FraterAeternus93 i been i huge joy division fan for years, and apart from the back up singer who comes in, the rendition is not half bad. Nice mellow and chilled acoustic take

[carlmycol]

Why I love her voice?

[hankyparkmusic]

Wow!!! LOve this!!! Please look at hankyparkmusic for our version featuring Peter Hook

[oliverapetronijevic]

...

[LHprout]

ils massacrent l'esprit de la chanson avec un chant trop propre -_-'

[ThePlainToast123]

I WANT JOY DIVISION

[Galleandracoz]

They've castrated that song. Absolutely no feelings in this version. Sad.

[whoacams]

dear lord, what's even the point of all this discussion? some people like it, some people don't. it's pretty simple. go fry some nuggets.

[TheWonderDoc]

Holy shit this cover is a travesty. Does this goofy chick understand the context of the lyrics she is singing? They are simply regurgitating a song they know to be popular.

Sounds like some two bit lounge act you might hear at a wine tasting.

[rosswoof]

@TheWonderDoc You're such a twat.

[TheWonderDoc]

@rosswoof Judging from the level of sophistication of your comment it becomes no wonder why you would not only enjoy, but emphatically defend this craptastic cover is certainly telling. That you enjoy this music and lack the imagination to come up with an insult better than "you're a twat" you may very well be the demographic this group is trying to reach and doing so successfully.

[rosswoof]

@TheWonderDoc You're still a twat though.

[TheWonderDoc]

@rosswoof and you are still a child. Your incessant need to resort to childish "name calling" is telling as to the type of individuals that enjoy this "music".

[rosswoof]

@TheWonderDoc "Become like a child as non but these will enter the kingdom of heaven"

Admit it, you like this cover really, otherwise why would you keep coming back to it?

[thinkfaster]

@TheWonderDoc I imagine if one of your kids or friends did this, you'd be clapping like a battery powered cymbal-monkey. It's not *that* popular of a song and it's quite likely that the musicians genuinely appreciate it-- that's an awesome thing. Hell, even tone deaf people should be singing their fucking hearts out. . At your age, you should have already figured out how to suss depth beneath an understated and contrasting surface in things like bossa nova or the occasional Beatles lyric.

[TheWonderDoc]

@thinkfaster It is that popular of a song and has been an influence to a great many musicians. Apparently you have never listened to the original, and if you did, you would need to listen to the other works. It's like reading a novel that refers character traits reflected in other volumes.

This version doesn't convey any understated or deeper meaning, this band apparently covers a lot of songs and would bet good money it was chosen for popularity vs context and meaning.

[StealthyFruit]

@TheWonderDoc It would seem that you think music in its purest form should never be entrusted to the likes of us mere mortals. Saps like us might enjoy something like this. Surely songs should only be entrusted to the likes of you and your musical elitists. And you should tell us what we should or shouldn't appreciate... Or would that be too far beneath you? There's always going to be true talent and there's always going to be hacks. Why not let people decide for themselves which is which?

[TheWonderDoc]

@StealthyFruit If I copy a picasso and for good measure took a huge dump on it and then changed the frame, then it's still art "technically" and there for others to enjoy.

I don't however think that you would have to be an "art snob" to realize that it stinks in both the literal and figurative sense and find that it's appreciative audience would be both small and eclectic.

[MrDischargeandi]

Oi va voi. calm down everyone. The greatest song made........ yes? But I bet Mr Curtis would have enjoyed this angle on one of his songs. now pak it in being so pretentious. God rest his soul.

[Carpetcleanerman]

nice singing, nice voice, nice music. but fully besides the point. sorry girl, but I am not buying what you are trying to sell.

Love tore us apart. It's true.

[yupidooh]

fabulous

[ghostscantkill]

Never-mind the semantics! I am glad that someone is helping the song alive.....ergo the J.D. legacy flowers on.

[amir071]

Right, Vague it definitely is, this frenchy vomit, disgusting..

[tedoymisojos]

@amir071 It has a slow tempo, nothing else

[AncientSlugThrower]

I don't remember where I heard this first, but when I finally heard the original from the Joy Division, it was like some kind of weird reverse deja-vu. I still like this version better even if it doesn't carry the pathos and history of the original.

[MiNameIsMartin]

Is it just me, or does the second girl kinda ruin it? :P

[lb8x]

It's a good cover, but it totally kills the spirit of the song, hence the angry reactions, which are justified.

[Sintwe]

how many good songs have they ruined?

[MrCubaismo]

beautiful.....respect



[Awwfc1877]

Fuckin shite, worst version ever, I'd like to smash the girl in the head soooooo hard

[jerisdecayx]

@Awwfc1877 never hit a lady, grow up

[munkalicious]

@Awwfc1877 Idiot.

[SirJeffreyDahmer]

@Awwfc1877 I don't mind people covering songs ,to me the original will always be the best .

But I can understand your point of view LOL .

[OfficialFingazMc]

Sexiest voice ever!

[luk4sbc]

simple and beautiful.

[veronicamux]

mUY BUENA!!!!!!! hERMODA CANCIÓN Y VERSIÓN, lOS FELICITO! cONGRATS,GUYS! vERO FROM bUENOS aIRES

[wandererlain]

What a beautiful voice.

[pete280171]

Beautiful

[EstebanHernandez123]

I wanna have sex with her voice

[youhavegeniusshins]

@EstebanHernandez123 Same here. I'd settle for her vagina though.

[doodsrslyWTF]

Her voice is gorgeous, and I love the atmospheric sound of the music.

[wysmiewisko]

Beautiful.

[bozarthjd]

crazy addictive cover



[googlique]

Beautiful!

[accidentalfilms]

It's better than the original because she can sing. Besides, I dig the bossa thing which you like or not. Plain and simple.

[unknownidiot44]

dont touch ian you bitch

[MovieTristan]

i think this sounds good but REMEMBER THE ORIGINAL BY JOY DIVISION!!

[TheREALDanontheMoon]

Good song, cute chick, and they didn't fucking butcher the song like the Killers did with 'Shadowoplay'. I can dig it. I'd never let her bedroom get cold. :D

[jefaistralala]

bunch of idiotic comments... if you don't like it then just leave it. nobody forced you to listen to it. why ever bother yourself to make shitty comments here?

[septeracore]

@jefaistralala Comment board is not for sucking up to the video but to express opinions...if you dont like shitty comments, why bother reading them? Listen to the song, sing praises and leave it at that...

Some people like it some don't...If those who don't like it want to come here and say so, then let them...end of story...

[jefaistralala]

@septeracore I do not care what those say against this cover. but it is totally unnecessary to say "this is f***ing shit," and that is not polite either ;) if someone does not like sth, one should explain why. why do i bother myself reading them? because that bothers me. what a stupid question to ask... now I see your comment and begin to see why there are so many dumb comments here...

[rebelmusic21]

fantastico!! awesome cover, very beautiful ladies!

[SOULBUTNOSOLDIER]

Mein liebstes Lied. Einfach versaut.

[unbornserenity]

is it me or does the guitar sound amazing!!!

[offlineable]

she's sooooooo prettyyyyyyyyyyy <3

[oldvault]

this is a fucking shit. joy division is much better.

[Prof16440]

the original was shit

[Datcful]

ZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[Ominous09]

@BabeiaOnaeo695 but its good to know =)

[Zeanu]

@BabeiaOnaeo695 I'm wearing Batman undies.

[podisracer]

@BabeiaOnaeo695 SeX SeLLs ThUmBs Up ReD UnDiEs!

[sonnetxi]

@BabeiaOnaeo695 lol you scam

[Hug0ForDumbs]

@BabeiaOnaeo695 my daughter wont use internet

[carlmycol]

@BabeiaOnaeo695 why?

[bavsha]

I expected this singer on the concert in Bucharest, but the other 2 came instead...Anyways,they put everyone on their feet, was amazing!

[thejesterisrising]

Interesting cover, though I think the best I've seen is the Centre Excuse version, it's just awesome!

[kevro822]

hmmm I was the 3333"rd person who liked this "BAD" cover.

[Quicky421]

I just want to say:

"No. Stop it."

Ps: the squeaking girl at the end made me laugh quite hard. They killed it ...

[eessydo]

Loved Joy Division. love this. They have done a fabulous job putting the bossa nova style over this tune. Good job and keep up the fabulous work.

[sebun666]

This is probably the worst cover i have ever heard / seen. This is an insult for Joy Division! Torture for my ears.

[meirina100]

nouvelle vague is a great band. the singer is amazing,even i cant think what happen to her right arms while she was singing,it was annoying,but this is still good. come on,even bono can ruined this song.so chill people :) (sorry for my bad english)

[aquaskye]

pure fucking shit....like new order drugged up on a cruise ship wearing pastel-colored shorts. PURE FUCKING SHIT.

[asteroid684]

Beautiul!

[MrWheres]

I miss a deeper voice at that music... Specially at the chorus... Maybe one of the guys behind could back-voice her... But it's lovely attempt nevertheless - in times of Justin Bieber, we must grab anyone who can truly appreciate good music. I liked the cover, but I think it could be done better by them...

[OhBuxton]

At the age Ian would be now, I think he'd approve

[KillKenny09]

nice try

[waliwis]

:)

[mjkl1978]

terrible cover by terrible band :(

[saaha137]

мило, трогательно, сердечно

[lalo3393]

Todo empeora al final...desastroso

[alnav95]

You guys are a bunch of haters geez

Wth did she do to you guys fuc.

[vangenne]

There is no bigger Joy Division fan than me !!

Thanks Nouvelle Vague for this wonderfull cover!!

[MrMasterofdisaster2]

an interesting take on a classic not my preferred genre but happy it happened nonetheless.

[bigbadchang]

Horrid. Boggy. Drivel. Shite.

[jonward1234]

Man, people have to stop the hate, all music comes from what came before it and sometimes a cover can show how powerful and wonderful artists of the past can be, I personally don't like this but that doesn't mean that it is destroying the memory of Ian Curtis. For a really good cover of a joy division song see Transmission covered by Hot Chip

[whufcforever]

Can't believe the vitriol against this. I think it's a good cover. A totally different take on an incredible song. Of course it's not as good as the original but it's got its own charm and the singer and guitarist are good. Why the anger? I'm sure Ian Curtis couldn't give a fuck, dead or alive.

[epidemicHEART]

@whufcforever one of the few youtube comments I have ever agreed with.

[eebsy]

@whufcforever Nah, this is pointless horseshit.

[DanotheSnitch]

@whufcforever Joy Division/ New Order fans are up there with Radiohead fans in terms of protecting their sacred cow. I like this version though it doesn't come close of the original but even if they somehow managed to top the original you would still be seeing the same level of vitriol against it.

[fachonistika]

Love will tears us...apart....

quiero estar en la playa escuchando esta canción.

[dieTreibendeKraft]

thats not fair, ian curtis would never have liked dickheads

[rodolfofunk]

Can anyone tell me why does everybody hate them so much? :O

[blaznfattyz]

coffee shop crap wannabe indie whores

[pxyzyzygy]

Christ, this lot annoy me.

Pay a few bob for the performance rights to whatever songs you can get, then do EXACTLY the same sort of performance of each and every song.

Sorry, Nouvelle Vague, but everything you do is, well, utter meh.

[spongypillows]

WTF IS WRONG WITH HER RIGHT ARM WHEN SHE SINGS!?

[bendyplywood]

@spongypillows That's her left arm.



[interplaygirl1]

WHAT THE FUCK.

[stu610e]

Better than Paul Youngs Cover.

[ouest1313]

open u mind

[alltiti]

pero que version mas dulce de JOY DIVISION

[needley]

awful , just awful

[Israe5l]

sigh, two beautiful women.

[Ceremony85]

I like this cover, most bands covering joy division ruin it completely, but this is good.

[DanielJoseDiego]

She has a lovely voice. Heard this cover on KCRW and just had to come listen to it again on You Tube. Aside the fact most people don't like it, doesn't compare to Joy Division of course, she's still pretty amazing.

[HimmelaufErden]

dear youtube viewers,

I hope you reread what you wrote and see how senseless it is to argue over a song. If you dislike something don't waste your time by making angry comments..

xxo<3



[D0nBP]

i can't belive....i understand bossa nova covers for billy idol or queen or pussies artists but joy division???? this is fucking crap,only shit i hate it!!! fucking bossa nova is for girls or FAGGETS!!!

[lvl12HalflingMage]

this is a great cover. people who think its shit should climb out of their own bottom because there missing out.

[afigueiro]

This bossa nova muzak rendition isn't 100% crap, just because the singer is so cute...

[ouest1313]

just amazing the ways the music can move j aime

[ianwhitten]

I disagree. Although not my cup of tea, it's certainly interesting. The mark of a great song is surely that it transcends the expected and can be performed in different styles, which this certainly achieves.

Throwing more fuel on the fire, remember when Lyle Lovett's version of "Stand By Your Man" was first released and everyone thought "a MAN? singing THAT?" It's a whole different song with a man singing.

Narrow-band music fans & country music bashers, feel free to let yourself go!

[cookiemonstaman1]

great version

[TheElectricRob]

i have to go vomit

[kurdes2]

I LOVE THIS COVER!



[cleks]

People don't know how to appreciate a good cover. SHE IS NOT IAN CURTIS AND NEVER WILL BE but she has a great voice.

[thrillerman83]

@cleks They didn't give two shits of the concept of the song.  They made it to happy. The original wasn't meant to be like that AT ALL. It was suppose to be blue and depressing. No disrespects to singer, she has a great voice. But I don't want to see one of my favorite groups being misinterpreted like this.

[cullyvan]

Complete fucking starbucks wank. I hope i made my point.

[albetty100]

would so many people dislike this version of the song if they changed the lyrics?

[mariQay]

no fucking way

[viewmore100]

Is she having a seizure ?

[TheMikkan101]

weak ,watered down attempt at a classic ,i hope this limp chick doesnt give up her day job

[viewmore100]

@TheMikkan101 Amen !

[BurguesinhaBH]

820 pessoas NÃO SABEM DE NAAAAAAAADA

[robertokeano]

Just really not what this song was written for.

[sann1979]

Quien le ha dicho a esta tira de putas y maricones que pueden cagar una cancion de Joy Division de esta manera!1??

[sidsings3]

Love this band....music collective. 

[KnfRaw]

Well, Ian can truly rest in peace now. His song has been covered by a coffee-shop-corner group, what a triumph.

[TheHughLundy]

@KnfRaw The reason this is being covered is it's a great song by an absolute talent. Nouvelle Vague aren't a pretty, brainless muppet boy band so when they cover a classic their put their own unique twist to it.This is in fact a brilliant cover of a brilliant song given new life. Now I suggest you go back to what you clearly like listening to coffee shop boy band covers or overexposed, overrhyped rubbish such as The Beatles or U2.

[KnfRaw]

@TheHughLundy Your whole comment was full of preconceptions that I won't dignify, but I do not listen to U2 or The Beatles. It's 'a brilliant cover' is it? Sometimes a song is so brilliant that it should be left alone. Here is a perfect example why. Just look at the poncey way it's performed. She might as well be singing about rainbows and clouds, not the intense emotional turmoil that Ian was experiencing when he wrote and sung this song. I don't want a unique twist, I want them to fuck off.

[TheHughLundy]

@TheHughLundy At least we agree it's a brilliant song by a great songwriter. However your idea about the vocalist singing incorrectly is laughable. Clearly you haven't listened to that many French singers and can't see how cold(or intense turmoil as you put it )her voice is for French singers.Do you not feel it is better for bands to keep alive the legend that was Joy Division by covering their songs and reaching out for new fans?

[viewmore100]

@TheHughLundy This cover is as brilliant as your perception is dull. They bled the raw intensity and soul from the original spirit and left a limp,pathetic,mutated,criminal version. Sedating,mindless Muzak.

[TheHughLundy]

@viewmore100 1) I have the good grace not to attack other people's likes and dislike. Fine you dislike this version.2) You overlook the fact that this band/musical co-op cover great songs because they are great and more people should hear them. Rather than blandly just copy an original that no one as a hope of getting anywhere near the greatness of they add a new twist( still not asking you to like it just showing what is done). 3) Even if the cover is bad(not in this case) great songs shine on.

[viewmore100]

@TheHughLundy 1) What ? 2) Garbled 3) Huh ?

[cullyvan]

@TheHughLundy

I also agree that musical taste is a personal thing, however what Nouvelle Vague do is crass, it was a novelty for about ten minutes. There is no "art" here, its not even ironic or cute. Its straight for the wallet covers, and thats why i hate them . Its Disneyworld, its starbucks, nothing is real.
