Joy Division - 08 - Wilderness

[CeleryMan3]

This may in fact be the most depressing band ever.

[mrreaderman]

"I travelled far and wide, through prisons of the crust."

Just kidding! So much love and respect for Joy Division. Ian Curits, rest in peace my friend.

[YankTheYank]

Look at all the fucks I give.

[thisisnathaly]

You know God listen's to Joy Division.

[blocksstripes]

All you fucking hipsters need to shut up. Nobody cares what age you are, the only thing which matters here is whether you actually like this or not. -.-'

[steveobie1]

One person has yet to experience pleasures  unknown....sad.

[DJALSKI1]

hookey is the greatest bassist of all time

[AmethystAnarchyAngel]

I feel like crying right now.... I was born sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­ooooooooooooooooooooooo Late!

[jambofun]

@reLIEablity Don't get too discouraged. There was also mindless crap being produced in 1979, and there is evocative, stirring, challenging, inventive, real human music being created today. It's easy to feel that isn't the case when we're being bombarded by manufactured white-noise. But I tend to think that as time passes, it's art like Joy Division that generally survives to retain any real relevance. 30 years from now, I doubt Kesha and the Black Eyed Peas will be considered classics.

[redredshoes]

@jambofun well said!

[iceybleu]

You talk too much, just listen...

[kent2820]

This and decades, legendary music you will never hear the likes of again!!

[albertchandler2]

I need to do a bong hit, then press replay

[Ecristaldi]

I am going to buy a Joy DIvision Unknown Pleasures t-shirt and wear it all day

[slangshotstudios]

Come on guys, dance however the fuck you want. Don't worship, just be. Worship yourselves.

[dcr88]

come on guys, let's dance like Ian Curtis

[thenoomnus]

[peter68641]

[KruspeFTW]

I love the bass...

[toastedtesticles]

I love the guitar on this track.

[samuele43]

0 dislikes.. obiviusly

[MbErRoEuDsItTeHr]

@samuele43 obviously**

[mybrainfknhurts]

Joy Division is one of those bands that is hard to hate. Every song they had put out is nothing short of amazing.

[RoierRo]

that bassline... HHHNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGG

[nath271]

No dislikes... Says it all.

[Catch22ish]

WHERE DID MUSIC LIKE THIS GO!!!!!!

[wesleyvoigt1]

@Catch22ish it's left in the minds of people who know the true meaning of the word music

[crowley611]

To me this song encompasses the entire darness that was Joy Division, the lyrics are monumental, disturbing..Obviously influenced by Curtis' reading of the genocide of the Cathars by the Catholic Church.... very moving

[hamdigidy]

just read the 33 1/3 book about this album, very good, but the guy called this the weakest track on the album, and i was just like"no way". love it

[kamg07]

Incredible song...amazing album.

[coraline641]

Couldn't resist being silly here; when I first listened to this track I heard the last lines as "cheese and mirrors". Great song.

[saredrenwells]

 s a r e d r e n w e l l s

[aero105]

Dark and dancy :D

[locomotifx]

Cor, i hadn't forgotten this song's name - which is nice.

[TheRoseanne58]

Their music and dear Ian's voice seems not to be from this world - thank you for sharing!!

[NightmareGanon]

Am I the only one who thinks the post-punk was the epitome of epic basslines?

[Rudimcd63]

@NightmareGanon this wasn't post punk,this was punk. Punk was about being expressive so this fits into that gendre.

[mutinyinheav3n]

@Rudimcd63 Uhhh...isn't all music about being expressive/ expressing something? I guess I could put 19th century opera in the punk category too.

Idiot.

[Artaud1957]

@NightmareGanon No, you're not the only one. Consider not only JD, but Magazine, Simple Minds, etc. But I think it also had to do with a different approach being taken to producing records. There was separation between the instruments. You could actually *hear* the bass.

[Funkan1]

@NightmareGanon

True, shame Hooky's a sell out wanker now.

[Nutterbutterz95]

@NightmareGanon It was the first era of people actually knowing how to use bass guitars since Johnny Cash.

[CIRCLEONE77]

@NightmareGanon good bass lines yes, but not as epic as a reggae bass line

[ToodGime]

@NightmareGanon I think Peter Hook was just a boss bass player. He knew the riffs he was making were beast. hahaa

[redredshoes]

@NightmareGanon oh, right there with you.

[HeliosThe]

@NightmareGanon Have you ever heard some jazz or fusion or funk? I think no xD However you're right, post punk is really cool especially if you play bass B)

[cucumbers66]

why is this song soooo good? thanks for posting!

[RHutton2710]

@cucumbers66: because it was composed by geniuses.

[phantomonye]

@RHutton2710 no wonder why i understand him when i am fucking drunk thanks for the insight. oops another great fucking song by them!

[98virago]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY IAN R.I.P. WE HAVE TEARS IN OUR EYES

[rossmc72]

I traveled far and wide where unknown martyrs died. what a lyric.

[antsorter]

easily one of the creepiest songs i've ever had the pleasure to listen to

[Sudhish86]

What I love about Curtis is that only he(or maybe thom yorke) knows when an arrangement almost always meant for a chorus or bridge will work well as the main part of the song. When I hear how the music goes, I always think it sounds like it's supposed to come after something.

[onlygoodthings]

that bass line gives my neck this involuntary neck sway.....mm mm Hm Mmm mm mm Mm mm Hm Mmm

[iamqqqqqqq]

I love this song, the lyrics create very interesting images in my mind

[pb2k9]

capital song just like all album "Unknown Pleasures", one of the best debut's and the most important's albums in rock history.

[Danyhg92]

@pb2k9 Indeed, not a single bad song on that record

[Nutterbutterz95]

@pb2k9 I'm going to start describing things as "capital" now. That's just such a cool piece of lingo.

[promil612]

dobre

[intrepidvs]

unique sound,unique style,fantastic song,totally original.bravissimi!!!!!!!!!!

[bajen3]

[joywritter]
