When I listen to this song I imagine just packing up my tiny backpack and going away from everything. And I'm not sure if would ever want to come back. This is amazing.
@dreadedwheat26 No, but it helps if the song has meaning, and is more than just a song. Bands like Joy Division do not just write a song to sell...they write a song to vent, or express opinion.
Back in the day, JD was not the critcs´ first choice. Listening to their music nowadays makes clear, that they were quite unique, despite of all the darkness. The eternal is giving me the impression of time standing still, a disturbing experience. Masterpiece.
@Guitargirlmx IT'S ABOUT A NEIGHBOUR OF MR CURTIS'S WHO HAD(S) DOWN SYNDROME. IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH KILLING HIMSELF -WELL. NOT DIRECTLY. IT SHOWS WHAT LOVELY AND HUMANE EMPATHY HE HAD.
you also should mention the root cause of him writing this song. he returned to his house YEARS AND years later to find the boy sitting by the gate of the garden, hence the title "the eternal" the boy was still there after all those years :(
@TheOldEchoes yes,it is about a boy,who had Down's Syndrome that lived in his neigborhood,and he would see him all the time,but he never seemed to age.
This literally speaks to my soul. There is no other song that I would want to listen while painlessly and slowly dying in my bed, alone and filled with hapiness.
peut-être qu'avec toi, on a su ce que c'était que de passer de l'autre côté. pour un peu, on aurait pu y rester ... mais la vie est mal foutue. tu ne crois pas ?
Una cancion hermosa pero depresiva y oscura en extremo, quien si no joy division para transportarnos mediante esta cancion a los sufrimientos de Ian Curtis

@joydivisionbauhaus No es depresiva y no es sobre los sufrimientos de Curtis - perdone mi espanol malo, soy irlandes.

@joydivisionbauhaus disculpa bro. pero no concuerdo mucho.
si tienes razon, pero es lo superficial que se vio o se sigue creyendo,
curtis con problemas, no, el solo tenia dudas,
sufrimiento, que es sufrimiento al lado del bacio que el dejo,
creo que solo es una descripcion...
viva por siempre la vieja escuela que viva la reyna...
