Xiu Xiu - Ceremony (Joy Division)

This is why events unnerve me
They find it all, a different story
Notice whom for wheels are turning
Turn again and turn towards this time
All she ask's the strength to hold me
Then again the same old story
Word will travel, oh so quickly
Travel first and lean towards this time

Oh, I'll break them down, no mercy shown
Heaven knows, it's got to be this time
Watching her, these things she said
The times she cried
Too frail to wake this time

Oh, I'll break them down, no mercy shown
Heaven knows, it's got to be this time
Avenues all lined with trees
Picture me and then you start watching
Watching forever

@cadeeshak A suicidal, desperate mind can also be 'a freaking disorganized, thoughtless mess.'

I can understand somebody hating the vocals; it's an acquired taste. The rest of the song is sensitive and spasmatic in a very controlled sense. This is a freakout song, not to be listened to while in a normal mood.

Just defending my position.

this is unbelievable... why i haven't heard this before?!?'!?!?

Brilliant rendition of a brilliant song.

Jamie Stewart is absolutely qualified to cover this song. If someone doesn't think so, I think that person should revise why they even like Joy Division in the first place.

@theberlindoctor I know... Don't you just love it?

Self indulgent pretentious wankfest

Good one! Sounds like Stockholm Monsters.

@cadeeshak Agreed. I discovered this group via their cover of Björk's "Isobel" and I have to say, it's a NIGHTMARE.

Joy Division meets romper room. This cover is a freaking disorganized, thoughtless mess. The only band that should "cover" this song is New Order.
