Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Procession moves on, the shouting is over
Praise to the glory of loved ones now gone
Talking aloud as they sit round their tables
Scattering flowers washed down by the rain
Stood by the gate at the foot of the garden
Watching them pass like clouds in the sky
Try to cry out in the heat of the moment
Possessed by a fury that burns from inside
[Verse 2]
Cry like a child, though these years make me older
With children my time is so wastefully spent
A burden to keep, though their inner communion
Accept like a curse an unlucky deal
Played by the gate at the foot of the garden
My view stretches out from the fence to the wall
No words could explain, no actions determine
Just watching the trees and the leaves as they fall
#JoyDivision #TheEternal
This is a truly great song. Depressing as hell mind you, but depressing in a way that somehow leaves you feeling uplifted.
This song is said to have been inspired by a child with Down's syndrome who lived near Ian. He is writing from the point of view of the child and seems to be narrating the inner thoughts of one who feels forever trapped without the means to properly communicate with others. This song is so unique in the abbreviated JD catalog and offers a fleeting glimpse of the unchartered territory that might have been covered on later albums.
@H my lava lamp no
Peter was asked this very question in a Reddit AMA, just yesterday, feb 7 2022, he replied to question of whether it was about a child with downs, “ I wasn’t aware it was about anything in particular “.
He added, “she’s lost control was about an epilepsy sufferer like Ian”.
I believe Ian was talking about himself in most of the songs he wrote
@@shiva.shiver interesting🤔
@@pe137isf I agree it's all there in the lyrics
Masterpiece. Sounds like a man who has lost hope and is at the end of his tether.
i recommend this song .......... ( miss me by the impures )

@TheDissidentBrit life is shitty...
Cheer the fuck up lads 😂

Classic Joy Division ! This never gets old ! Ian's voice ! Like an old friend ! From the eighties !

From 2022
Well, it’s kinda why I’ve been staying away from rap for the most part. Nobody seems capable of making a mature song about Down syndrome.
@the2ndcoming135 lol u been searching for a rap song about down syndrome?
The best song from Joy Division, the one that defines what the band is
New dawn fades was their best song. And it's not up for discussion. I'm simply right. The end.
YES New Dawn Fades - But in the end, they're are just so many, that anything Ian Curtis was involved in was the best! RIP Ian@@DarrenLamb-on3py
Twenty Four Hours has always been my personal favourite but everyone is entitled to their own opinion.
The most melancholic song i've ever heard, i listened this when i was experienced the extraordinary feel and it's been is such quickly and i listened this song over and over again. Applause to Curtis, that's text and feelings unforgettable👏
Try Der Golem, Bleib Modern, Quarter Life and Lebanon Hanover

Thanks, Jeffrey Dahmer ❤
Do you know what’s scares me? The fuckin despair on lyrics with a unbelievable calmness tone voice, This is absolutely mesmerizing…
Sometimes I think this is the saddest, most beautiful song ever recorded. At other times it’s Decades, Atmosphere or In a lonely place.
This and Decades are the standout Joy Division songs for me. 42 years old and hasn't aged at all.
For sure it is the saddest
The song I want played at my funeral ♾🖤
Same...
What's the point? You won't hear it anyway.
What's the point? You won't be able to experience it.
I promise to play it at yours if you promise to play it at mine
@Bryan Mack "at least everyone else would" So, what? Once you are dead you are dead. So, what other people are experiencing will be irrelevant, because the dead can't experience anything.
I feel almost hypnotised by the beauty and yet an overwhelming feeling of despair when I lose myself in this track. The effects that I’m guessing Martin took the liberty of adding are chilling, the chirping and rattling, it’s exhausting, otherworldly and suffocating all at once 😮
I love this band so much more than any other.
I'd have treasured a commentary from Martin on how he recorded and produced 'Closer'.
marks497, I am not much good with writing how I feel. Your comment is so right on. Thank you.
@@royjones4400Absolutely, what a shame he didn’t get to go on and have a good life and career. Always remember Tony Wilson recalling how Martin knocked on his door long after Ian passed, in tears saying Ian’s fucking gone and then walking off into the night. 🙁
@@leslieschmidt19Thank you, I struggled to describe my own feelings to be honest but that’s how it came out 😬
Everytime I hear this song, I get memories of my Mother passing and how her health deteriorated over time. But it also puts me in a very vivid vision of being in a cemetary that is in a windy forest during autumn time while I think about her.
It really makes me question what my fate will be and if everything I'm doing is worth it in the end. No song has ever made me feel emotions as hard as this.
Same here
It'll all be worth it in the end, friend ❤
Listen to In A Lonely Place aswel equally if not more sadder than this track
Same. This hits very hard and in a way that no other song ever has or ever will. I think of my mother as well in the same setting. Your imagery is spot on and makes me think of my own mortality.
You got me thinking now -- surely everything we do hast to be worth it when we do it (?) Which makes me realise how much I do that isn't "worth it" ...
This song and Decades drag me to the darkest and most depressive limit of everything I have lived. It is surprising that some musical notes, Ian's mystique and the lyrics take me to that unfathomable universe.
He knew he wanted to leave life, and expressed it very well. And he did it.
i recommend listening to this hidden gem - miss me by the impures
is a pretty good song check it out :) ^^^dcdc
Is a voice of a dead man still living, he's already away and nothing can keep him back
Ian sounds like a man at the end of his life. So sad. But what a beautiful artistic legacy he left...
@Paulo Gore yes...
Patetikus...this is artistic expression
He was here. He put his depression onto tape. Its tragic that his mates didnt See it and Ian killed himself
@@Watcher4111 i recommend this song .......... ( miss me by the impures )
vccccc
@@Watcher4111 Thats not his mates fault that he chose that route
Id probably say that this track, In a lonely place and 24 hours are the trilogy of the most quintessential melancholic Joy Division tracks.
I finally found this song!!! Just remembered the deep sounds in the intro and the beat so unique
Ian Curtis desperate plea for help in this song is audibly obvious but fell on deaf ears. The genius is both beautiful and haunting.

Still hurting the loss of my twin brother , hugs ✌️✌️🙏🙏 to all who needs it
I bought Closer on vinyl from a secondhand record store when I was 16. I never looked back..
...it was my first vinyl I have ever had...its still on my wall...like a picture...I am scared to touched this....
...I am 52 years old now...
this song can bring a lot of memories to anyone who buried a dear one
One of the most underrated albums of all time
what the f++k are you saying? every critic in the world give 5/5 to this album.For the common people, suicidal feelings are not an easy thing to hear in every moment... if that's what you mean, but the universal ratings of the album are very very high.
Let's start rating it! It's beautiful!!
His please didn't fall on deaf ears, this was 40 years ago....People had no understanding and they were just kids. Only he really knew, and nobody understood. Tragic but nobody's fault. He was, in his way, a musical genius. RIP
Ppl were exactly the same 40 years ago. You have got to be a kid or a 20 something living under this illusion we live in more enlightened times. Put it this way, Taylor swift and the 19fkin75 wouldn't have made the top 10,000 40 years ago.
Pleas
Well said Mate, ians illnesses, barring epilepsy, they didn't know much about it, plus back then you just got on with it, and Ian was a NORTHERNER TO BOOT, BEST FRONTMAN EVER EVER EVER, SIMPLE HAS, REST PEACEFULLY IAN KEVIN CURTIS. FOREVER MISSED. 🇮🇲👍🇮🇲
This song is so far ahead of its time it's scary.

The heartbeat !
Procession moves on, the shouting is over

Talking aloud as they sit round their tables
Scattering flowers washed down by the rain

Watching them pass like clouds in the sky

Possessed by a fury that burns from inside
Cry like a child, though these years make me older

When a band has the range to come up with the slowest to fastest tempo songs and theyre all classics your witnessing the greatest.
What a mind what a poet
True!
When you are at the depths of despair this makes perfect sense
i'm lost without this band
🎶 immortal song 🎶
A masterpiece, unbelievable and famous and a dream, wonderful...tears running in a silent night...wow👍👍👍
When Ian died, I played this album over and over again trying to figure out why, I wanted so much to see them live but it was not to be! Every time I hear any track from closer it brings tears to my eyes!
Did you have an advanced copy?
Sorry...
Don't know how to describe this.... Lost for words
One has to keep in mind that the main inspiration for this song is Ian's neighbor, who had Down's Syndrome. He used to see him in the garden as a child and when he grew up his life hadn't changed at all. I think in a way, he really empathized with this kid because we know that Ian felt really bad that he wasn't able to live like the adults around him. He couldn't drink much, couldn't have intimate relationships, had to be taken care of and he hated to be in this situation. He regretted getting married and his illness made him regret having a child. I think the song is called The Eternal in reference to this neighbor, who never changed and remained the same, while other people lived and died (the first stanza seems like the description of a funeral this child witnesses, people die but the child stays the same).
Shows that Ian felt pity for this person, and that he was a really caring person
or yno... you just from manchester
Love the deep slow melodic tones and has me coming back for more
Masterpiece 🥇

Безусловно, одна из лучших песен Джой Дивижн
Если не лучшая
Joy Division's best song. La mejor canción de Joy Division.
I’m doing the Ian Curtis dance to this, just very very slow
I was crying while listening to this song and then i saw this comment and i just couldn't stop laughing
I love you lol you made me laugh in my darkest moment of today
🎶🎙hauntingly hypnotic🎶
this is immense ❤❤❤
De las menos conocidas, pero de las mejores
Que grandes
Tú lo has dicho, es de las mejores.
Puedo decir que es de mis favoritas.
Me encanta lo bien que está todo combinado, la música, la letra, la voz, y yo que tengo miedo a morir, esta canción a pesar de ser tan triste me hace sentir nostálgica pero sin miedo.🌹💀
Not least known to me..but then I'm from the same area and grew up while they were around. It's only not well known to the younger generation, the one who think Kanye west is a genius.

it is stronger than death...
I remember 1980 now when I first heard it. Hasn’t lost any of its impact.
Brilliant
When you want to mainline depression, this is the song. Too good.
I just noticed that except towards the end as the song collapses (signifying the body fading away to death?), the only chord in this song is A minor.
check ou this hidden gem song - miss me by the impures
is a pretty good song check it out :) ^
Yes. A Minor with a slowly descending bass line.
If you've ever heard Arvo Part's "Cantus In Memoriam Benjamin Britten" (which is pretty much the saddest piece of classical music ever written) it does the same thing - all the instruments work down the chord of A Minor in octaves until they can go no lower and they hit rock bottom. The speed at which they descend depends on their pitch, so the basses get to the bottom of their range last. The final moments when they drop onto their lowest, and last, notes against an entire orchestra a playing low A is absolutely devastating - and exactly the effect you're hearing in this song.
The *actual* last note of Arvo's piece is a muffled bell, whose overtone plays a major third, not the minor you'd be expecting - this is a Picardy third, a musical device used in religious music since the Renaissance. The idea is to show that in the midst of all that medieval fear and dread of God's wrath, there is still hope of redemption and paradise. So the song, no matter how devout, ends on a positive, hopeful major chord, not a minor fearful minor one.
And that's also what happens at the end of "The Eternal" - against a sustained low chord, the bass goes *up* in the last bar before settling back into place. A little shaft of musical light into the gloom, mirroring hundreds of years worth of religious musical observance. Even if you've got no idea what a Picardy third is, most people have heard enough music to know what it does and to react to it - it's an emotional musical folk memory. That's why this song works the way it does, and why it's perfect for it's slot in the track listing - second to last, hitting the depths, with its final chord giving us all hope that there may be something better, more hopeful coming. We're emotionally invested in the last song, "Decades", before it's begun.
I have no idea whether four lads from Manchester in the 70s knew what they were doing when they wrote and arranged this song, but they hit on a musical framework which is very old and very deep and very beautiful, and it's great to see that these centuries old musical techniques still have an impact today.
Totally timeless
man, lots of people like this. I mean, I can't exactly blame them, it's pretty good.

@@renanvirginio2197 there's nothing to laugh..!
I love those dark gloomy albums, just like this one. There are not many of them out there unfortunately. I really try to widen my collection of those albums, so far I know:
Floating Into The Night, Soundtracks For The Blind , White Light From The Mouth Of Infinity (basically everything by SWANS, especially their post-rock era), Within The Realm Of A Dying Sun, Into The Labyrinth, Push The Sky Away, Skeleton Tree, From Her To Eternity, The Firstborn Is Dead, The Sky's Gone Out, Garlands, Victorialand, 50 Words For Snow, First & Last & Always, Floodland, From The Choirgirl Hotel, October Rust, Fever Ray....
And the two Joy Division albums are up there as well. I love those albums to death because I can really relax to this dark somber kind of music. It doesn't make me sad at all, but a bit melancholic in a good way. I love just to cuddle myself into my blanket and listen to those albums, closing my eyes and dreaming about alternate lives...
Do you know similar albums? I would really appreciate new recommendations.
American Prayer....Jim Morrison
Desertshore - Nico. Dawn of gothic. «Janitor of lunacy» is my favorite track
How about Faith by The Cure ?
Beautiful ❤
Joy Division forever!!!⚡⚡🌟
I just now realized after all of these years, that the structure of this song has no chorus. That's unusual, right?
I just finished reading "Unknown Pleasures" by Peter Hook and he talks about JD songs without choruses (and how he enjoyed them!) and how Ian did such a great job writing the lyrics with those types of songs. If you haven't read it, definitely check it out!
@@amyanderson6888 I've read Touching From a Distance, but I haven't read Unknown Pleasures. I think I will. Thanks for recommending it!
@@MIKERUPTION Happy reading! It is such a wonderful read and, in my opinion, much better than Touching From a Distance. I couldn't put it down!
@@amyanderson6888 Time to make Hooky a best-selling author. 😜 Thanks again for the tip!

The Beautiful song of autumn
My hands down, favourite Joy Division song. Much like William Butler Yeats' "The Second Coming", or T.S. Eliot's "What The Thunder Said", the overtones of this piece provide an honest and eloquent summation of the evolutionary experiment "Homo Sapiens". Actually, the whole album "Closer" does, but this song in particular captures the raw emotion of it. A highly appropriate soundtrack for the end of civility, compassion, honesty and the natural environment: the end of the world.
Aldo muchas gracias un abrazo para todos los componentes de grupo Hepta muchas gracias por vuestro gran trabajo para el público es único y muy positivo feliz entrada en el 2024
Hermosamente Depresiva..!!! 🖤🖤🖤🖤
For all those who love this song, take it to at least one million views and 50K likes. "How Soon Is Now" by The Smiths has 21 million views and 181K likes. Come on, people. Put Ian and Joy Division up where they belong.
It’s how soon is now. And that’s because it’s rightfully so. The smiths are better
@@0nyxFR773 Typo. Sorry, but I disagree. I like both groups but the Smiths don’t have the depth of Joy Division.
Dear Joy Division. What if you get together to make a new song but just an instrumental song? or maybe an EP. Ian will always be missed but the soul of post-punk sound is still within the three of you.
My cousin Aaron Saum who recently passed away had Down’s syndrome and he was a very sweet and gentle guy Jesucristo ✝️ Te Bendiga Aaron Saum Descanse En Paz En Cielo Para Siempre Amén 🙏 Amén 🙏✝️
Questo povero ragazzo aveva bisogno di aiuto ha fatto canzoni che rimangono nella mente 😢😢😢
So fucking cold. So fucking dead. So fucking tragic. Hands down my favourite Joy Division song. God fucking damn. 😭🙏
Listening to this song, I feel like I'm at a funeral procession....
Look around you at the world my friend. We are at a funeral procession....
A atmosfera surpreendente que tem essa faixa é profunda d+ tenho a discografia completa curto muito 🎹👍👏🌧️🇧🇷🌹🖤🔊🎵🥁🎸🇧🇷👌👁️🤘🤟🕸️🦇⚰️🍷😎🌍🌃🌆
*WOW*
recorded in 1979 it's a foreboding of coming disaster in May 1980
Probably one of the most depressive songs in history.
Fui em Narnia e voltei com essa canção 🖤
This song is like getting severely beaten, only to feel the pain inflicted in your existence, not in the body.
ESPETÁCULO GRANDE VISAGE P.S
Glorious
Is one of the jewels on the B side of this masterpiece called: Closer.
It's still one of the most hopeless sounding songs ever recorded.
Como alguém com tanta pouca idade pode ser tão melancólico???
🖤
Gonna listen to this before i die
I revel in the lyrics. Even more so in 75 % slower. It's pure magic.
One of their best and also the final studio recording?
Where would their sound have gone with Ian remaining...
Makes me think of 7 August 1994,The day my Mum passed away
Eterno mesmo... É o Ian em seus poemas.

❤
Robert Smith has this in his top 30 songs of the 80’s and I can see why. So much of this in Disintegration.
Superb video here.
Должен же быть хоть какой-то комментарий на русском языке.
Это невероятно крутая и очень красивая песня .
He just cryed for help nobody understend
Extremely depressing.....
On the deathbed, If i Can choose a list of musics to listen into stop breathing This music was Definitely on my deathbed list… IAN CURTIS MAKES ME FEEL EVERYTHING ON THIS LYRICS!!!
So what pace shall we do this in fellas? Dirge, like the funeral marches from New Orleans. Nailed it one & all. Bless them.
I always feel like silent hill (2004) gives me the vibe of this song
This song is actually about Ian's neighbor who was confined to his home his whole life
That is so sad
Yeah the boy with downs syndrome
