Stanton Miranda - Love Will Tear Us Apart (1995)

This is dedicated to the Joy Division leadsinger Ian Curtis. Stanton Miranda's cover of the classic song Love Will Tear Us Apart was recorded in 1995 and appears on the A Means To An End: The Music Of Joy Division album.

Lyrics:
When the routine bites hard
And ambitions are low
And the resentment rides high
But emotions wont grow
And were changing our ways,
Taking different roads
Love, love will tear us apart again

Why is the bedroom so cold
Turned away on your side?
Is my timing that flawed,
Our respect run so dry?
Yet theres still this appeal
That weve kept through our lives
Love, love will tear us apart again

Do you cry out in your sleep
All my failings expose?
There's a taste in my mouth
As desperation takes hold
Cos its something so good
Just cant function no more?
Love, love will tear us apart again

Only comments about the song, not the video.

[StantonMiranda]

Yes.

This is actually not too bad. She's got a good voice and doesn't sound affected like everyone else trying to do this song. They think they have to sound soooooo saaaaaad.

[Cabronblanco]

WTF is WRONG with you people? They were contemporaries of JD/early New Order and she was part of the legendary Thick Pigeon also on Factory Records

and this was recorded as part of a TRIBUTE ALBUM by many other artists as well.Jesus Christ...dorks.

[MrRockyslegacy]

Shame on you split arse ..

[wilbhaas]

-.- damn that hurts

[jmbrosendo]

The singer has really turned the original tone of the music around. Not an easy thing to do, but works here.

@NihilismNothing THANK YOU AND HOW DARE Stanton Miranda piss on a song that should NEVER BE COVERED, even if she was on FACTORY RECORDS.

[ivanatwork1]

Well done! Finally, a cover with style.

I remember hearing this on an album of Joy Division covers by various bands. This version is obviously very different to the original, but I think they've done a pretty good job of balancing keeping true to the original but also capturing the spirit of the time in which they were playing too.

[ZANARX]

Good fresh cover not so doomslike but still sad. This is a good song, and though I like the original Joy Division best, I still like good covers like this one from Stanton Miranda, The Cure and Jose Gonzalez.
