Joy Division - Ice Age

[Schteph79]

Do you know if there is any link with Siouxie & The Banshees' The Staircase (Mystery) (1978)??

Sounds so close... Maybe... the Zeitgeist?

But anyways, both awesome and timeless songs!!!

[coetmor]

I hated this as their worst song after Novelty. But now... I just wanna make it louder and louder.

[joaoa13portugal]

what a fucking AWESOME GUITAR

[tetrahydroscope]

I wonder if Israel had nukes in the 70's...

[baseballfuries08]

@tetrahydroscope wat

[tetrahydroscope]

@baseballfuries08 whut?

[baseballfuries08]

@tetrahydroscope I don't get what you mean.

[tetrahydroscope]

@baseballfuries08 I was speculating on the lyrics. 'seen the real atrocities buried in the sand, stockpiled safety for a few' not sure if Palestine is very sandy though.

[pupilateddials25]

I only know one other Joy Division Fan........... The one who got me hooked hahaha

[r0yalgate]

burrr...

[GumBeatingTV]

~cheers.

[33BottlesOnMyDesk]

b52s should cover this

[gabe25591]

ROCK!

[FabKon92]

Just found the Still album on tape in a free box a couple days ago. These guys are fucking sweet

[Kiroy18]

Viva aos JD!!!

[PandTandB]

4 qui n'aiment pas... honte à vous !

[djmusicjac]

awesome new wave psychedelic with some post punk

[nhdaniele]

Is a mixture between boogie, tribal music and horror movie scores.

[TerryLee788]

My most favorite band ever. I was first introduced to this great band back in the late 1980's and I still fucken love them even more today.:)

[THELEXIS1983]

why are all the good ones short..?

[legrax]

veraneio vascaína lol

[beelzabubba]

There are too many great Joy Division songs for me to pick a favorite, but this is right up there.... all of the studio out-takes on STILL are awesome. I just looked at the JD documentary again today and realized anew what an incredible band this was.... way ahead of their time and yet soaking in it.

[NarrowJoy]

This song makes me want to do violent things with my body.

[dimmiewitson]

@NarrowJoy I just had to give that one a violent thumbs up.

[skateboard987654321]

i hate ads

[Lone06]

B52s LOL

[MrDiego881]

I'm living in the ice age

[WildThing071]

This song is one of the most depressing songs I've ever heard. And I love it.

[Alfalfa2210]

Alright fellas, this way. Dont worry, the song has 'ice' in the title, but its not a Jedward song =)

[deenjones1]

1978

[DoctorDoBuggerAll]

I got a live version, which sounds really good, starts off slow on the drums, and speeds right up, sounds powerful. If I could go back in time and see any one band, it would be Joy Division.

[quemfalouquefuieu]

My favourite ever. Thanks.

[gigsing]

Aparantly this wos about wen Curtiss bird giv him the cold shoulder

[ivdavo]

AMO ESTA CANCIÓN!.. el ódio hecho belleza

[kosmischesynth]

by definition, an ice age is any time when ice naturally occurs on the earth, so, yes Ian, we are

[megvid100]

we still continuing living in the ice age for ever

[chimichurrioz2]

I have never heard it before. WOW!

[piguitit0]

what a great song...joy division forever!!!!!!

[Jackzill4]

Fucking amazing song, but then again, all of Joy Division's songs are amazing. FUCK!

[paolorossifan2006]

the beat songs like "rock n roll high school" by the ramones and the riff sounds a bit like "white riot" by the clash

[TADGELL]

i don't think they heard rock n roll high school before writing this.

[paolorossifan2006]

true. this was recorded before the ramones song but the beat for this and bits of the drum intro to rock n roll high school are similar

[Zookmuh]

@paolorossifan2006

Actually this was recorded after. Rock N' Roll High School was recorded in late 1978 and released in summer 1979. This was recorded in late 1979.

[MrBavahorror]

Living in the ice age!

[cobijaband]

is a prediction of this times

later the horrors stole the idea!

[jhlFilms]

This is one of the best songs from them, shame it's soo hidden...

[Mortaake]

the better song form joy diviosion in my opinion!

[atomicpanda325]

This is the scariest song I've ever heard...Ian haunts me with every listen....

[paolorossifan2006]

i think dead souls is scarier. ian's vocals on that song are more alienating

[zizizzzzz]

OOOoooo|OO living in the ice age..

what a tune..

[motiongraphics81]

In Soviet Russia, Ice ages YOU!!

[misSOSlaw93]

after the crash the "comunist " system in estern europe many people strart living in real the ice age without job , any prospect , with really small support from goverment .

polish dictatorship of pzpr was in many cases better than dictatorship of the rulling today parties

[motiongraphics81]

Gotta make do, right?

[ZLUGGO]

Brilliant tune.

[drewlastnamek]

epic! i wish i was twelve and this bright

[Portis1Luv]

14 years since the freshman year and I still live in the ice age........viva joy division.

[carlamccoy]

Seen the real atrocities, buried in the sand

Stockpiled safety for a few -

we stand holding hands I -

living in the ice age ....

Nothing will hold, nothing will fit

Into the cold, no smile on your lips

Living in the ice age ....

Wonderful song! Best proof that good music is immortal :)

[statelybird3]

Thank you for the lyrics---I used to have STILL on cassette and this song was defintely one of my favorite jthe genuinely spooky Exercise One,(which I actually used to do my exercise to--hey, it was fun, plus the song's got a great beat, plus Peter Hook's mad phat bass booming through it) and the live version of Isolation. If I remember correctly,it was never released as a single,though I could be wrong.

[SimonRamone1]

agree

[jpom29]

Such an underrated JD song. Probably my favorite behind Disorder. Honestly though nothing is ever going to top Disorder.

[NinetiesYouth]

Yup, Disorder's their most beautiful song. Ice Age's very impressive though.

[baseballfuries08]

@jpom29 Digital does for me, but Disorder is fairly tailing it.

[OrsonMyles]

@jpom29 dead souls and disorder gotta be my favorite

[tapundinmak]

Ooooh! Thanks for up this here, this is one of my best favourites songs of Joy Division.

Allways unbeatable.

[kitzOgen]

Unu el la plej bonaj kantoj el Joy Division.

Vivante en Glacia Epoko!

[feckkol]

I can't believe it took me this long to find out about this band! Although it's always nice to find out later sometimes then never. FYI i found out about joy division from another band She Wants Revenge, they grew up listining to these guys. I'd check em out if you like JD.

[Verdiloes]

best joy division song

[askkopp]

thnx for uploding
