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

      Same.... Emo decades before emo even existed. Back then I tormented myself for not being "normal". Now, I'm so thankful I'm not and that I made it through all the darkness. Could not have done it without Joy Division, The Smiths, bauhaus, The Cure, Cocteau Twins, etc.

    Back in the 80s my mum really liked this song. She was not into my music at all generally but she really enjoyed this. I lost her by suicide just over 20 years ago after she had suffered many years of mental health issues. I always think of her when I hear this and have always wondered if she felt connected to the song or some empathy for the singer. I truly feel for all the tormented souls that suffer mental illness and hope that they find happiness.

    If any musician deserves a place in heaven, it was ian curtis.
    He suffered terribly with epilepsy, and was tormented by the heavy, early medicine they used to try treating this horrible condition, and to ian, suicide was eventually preferable to continuing to suffer.
    He didnt overdose, or lose his life to hedonism.
    He literally couldnt take the pain any longer.
    God rest your soul ian Curtis.

    Коли вершин сягає образа, та почуття вже зовсім не ті,
    Коли ми змінюємо наші маршрути, обираємо різні шляхи -
    Тоді кохання, воно нас знов-таки вразить,
    Кохання, воно вдруге нас розітне.
    Чому так зимно у спальні? Ти повернулась від мене на бік,
    Невже я зовсім не вчасно? Згаса повага між нами навік,
    Однак є ще досі ця знада, яку назавжди зберегли.
    Але кохання, кохання нас знов-таки зранить,
    Кохання, воно іще раз порве й розірве.
    Ти ридаєш уві сні, викривши хиби всі мої,
    Я відчуваю присмак у роті, коли відчай огортає мене,
    Адже щось настільки прекрасне тривати далі не може уже.
    Тоді кохання, кохання нас заново зранить,

    This song and video captured Joy Division's outward musical ethos perfectly.
    Four young men, dressed in formal wear in an empty room nearly devoid of color.
    Peter Hook seeming angry while playing an incredible riff.
    Bernard struggling to play the ethereal perfectly.
    Steven hammering a tight, flawless driving beat.
    And Ian, with an exhausted, but soulful delivery of a beautiful melancholy summary of love that is nearly dead.
    Aurally captured and enhanced with the musical production talents of Martin Hannet.
    This is how Joy Division will be remembered.

But it just makes me feel so much like home. Like sitting with really really close friends together and feeling like a human being experiencing absolute beauty and bliss. And Ian.... you will never be forgotten. Your Bandmembers made sure to honor you properly. Best wishes from a fellow German. ❤

      To be fair, the post-punk and gothic rock of that time period were major influences on the indie rock scene, and they are influences that continue to be heard in the music of the underground. There's also this solo act who kinda reminds me of Joy Division; it's called Harsh Symmetry, whose style captures the spirit of the post-punk and goth culture.
