Paul Young- Love will Tears Apart (Original Cover)

LYRICS::::When routine bites hard,
And ambitions are low,
And resentment rides high,
But emotions won't grow,
And we're changing our ways,
Taking different roads.

Then love, love will tear us apart again.
Love, love will tear us apart again.

Why is the bedroom so cold?
You've turned away on your side.
Is my timing that flawed?
Our respect runs so dry.
Yet there's still this appeal
That we've kept through our lives.

But love, love will tear us apart again.
Love, love will tear us apart again.

You cry out in your sleep,
All my failings exposed.
And there's a taste in my mouth,
As desperation takes hold.
Just that something so good
Just can't function no more.

But love, love will tear us apart again.
Love, love will tear us apart again.
Love, love will tear us apart again.
Love, love will tear us apart again.

this is the WORST thing I have ever heard in my life... just terrible!! sorry, but it is!!

[lgcybernetics]

this is a great version of this song! actually better than the original, aside from that female voice over thing...paul young has a great voice, and a great band.

@Joke9972: You may well be right-I was 12 when this cover came out,and can't recall having been aware of the original at the time,so I guess this did introduce my generation to it,or those of us who didn't have a cool older sibling to indoctrinate us in the hidden world of alternative music back then. But I think I did quickly realise just how incongruous a choice of cover it was for such an artist as Paul Young,when most of his other songs were from a very different side of the tracks to JD.

[Joke9972]

If you haven't lived through the eighties, you probably couldn't possibly appreciate it, but at the moment this was covered, it was constantly on air, much more than the original version (at least, on the European continent). And this was the version that made it famous. Again : people who weren't alive back than, don't know what it was about...

[denitopoopy]

I just threw up a little bit in the back of my throat :-(

[Mahmood42978]

wow this sucks....going to the much better Swans version

[dufflingfaggot]

this twat should have been shot for doing this to the best song ever

[brianartillery]

The original, is of course, unimprovable, and a true classic. This track is a lesson on how to do a cover version. Beautifully arranged, sung, and produced, it does not jar on the nerves like a lot of today's 'This'll do' cover bollocks. This was released only a few years after the original, and when I got the lp, and saw it on the track listing, I thought: 'Shit'. I was wrong. Being a Joy Division fan, I thought it was uncoverable. But Paul did a top job here. Nice to hear it again!

[peterwwolf]

You wouldnt ever think that a Paul Young cover of this song would work but in my opinion it does work very well.

[ukgolfa]

Nothing will ever equate to what Mr. Curtis was feeling when he incapacitated himself in his garden shed. If you want the visceral as to what he was feeling when he wrote this, the incomparable Joy Division version is for you.

Should you enjoy stylish, brilliantly arranged pop with a vocal that still retains the yearning from both sides of the argument, then this is for you.

I have both versions, and enjoy them equally, depending upon the quotient of red wine imbibed during an evening...

Peace.
