    I feel like it's the little things that keep us going. My job sucks. My girlfriend cheated on me. I live in a shitty, noisy apartment. But I get strength and happiness from the small things in life. The sun. The rain. Helping an elderly person. Saying hi to random strangers. Holding the door open for someone. It makes me feel good.

    My younger brother committed suicide last weekend by overdosing on something. He was found with headphones on, presumably listening to something. This is his youtube account. He made a playlist containing 6 songs that was edited the day he passed. This is one of the 6 songs. With the method he used, he was dead after about 30 minutes, probably unconscious around 12 minutes. I like to think that it was peaceful for him with his music on. I love you Darius, I'll miss you everyday for the rest of my life

    Now 40 years since their last concert, Ian's suicide and the band's subsequent breakup.
    Even the fact they were only around for 3 years doesn't diminish the legacy or influence they continue to have.
    However mental health still remains a stigma 40 years later. It's ok not to be ok, don't be afraid of speaking to your family or mates.
    Love Will Tear Us Apart at some point in our lives, but it will also bring us closer together.

She had been in bad relationships with unfaithful men. She was attracted to my honesty and character. She knew I wouldn't cheat and never did. Now we are old but she is still gorgeous to me.

    *LYRICS*
    When the routine bites hard
    And ambitions are low
    And the resentment rides high
    But emotions wont grow
    And we're changing our ways,
    Taking different roads
    Then 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 we've kept through our lives
    Love, love will tear us apart again
    Do you cry out in your sleep
    All my failings expose?
    Get a taste in my mouth
    As desperation takes hold
    Is it something so good
    Just can't function no more?
    When love, love will tear us apart again

    The title of this song is written on Ian Curtis's grave.
    There was a boy at my university who committed suicide. The very last thing he posted on Facebook, was this song.
    He was a friend of one of my closest friends. I didn't know him, but I wished I stopped him. Probably I couldn't have, but still...
    This was 2 years ago. I couldn't listen to Joy Division ever since.

      Unfortunately when people reach the end and it's on their terms, they can't be stopped, not really. Some will stick around if you can talk them out of it, but ultimately if they want to go, they will try again and again until they succeed.
      Some people just feel they need to go and there's nothing that can stop the pain they are in. No matter how hard you try to talk them round, the pain they are in is too much and they just want it to stop and taking their own life is the only way out.
      The only thing we can do, is try to help those we know to be feeling like Ian Curtis did, like your friends friend did, try to get them the help they need. That's all we can do.

      I've read many books on Joy Division and you're right there really is a darkness too his life. I think the man was a genius. The film "Control" in my opinion was really well done. It was a sad loss when he passed away and although New Order are a great band I often wonder what other great songs Ian Curtis could have given us. "Love Will Tear Us Apart" in my opinion has to be one of the greatest songs of all time. No matter how many times I've heard it it still sounds good every time and to be honest I rarely only listen to it once at a time I have to press repeat a few times, which is the sign of a good song.

I don't know how long I will live, but thanks to this music and your other music, it is easier to survive the days... this life is hard to fight and fight, to fight the war with myself and the things around me.. .I discovered you 4 years ago when I was 11, which may not be much, but during that time I realized that your music and stuff was amazing. your music saves me better than drugs. I'm counting the days, how much time I have left here, I gave myself a day or two a few months ago, but I'm still here. I write poems, lyrics, play guitar and piano. these save me.. I will buy the other vinyls from Joy division but what I want the most and know I will have forever is a Joy division concert. I love you and miss you so much! whoever is part of this punk/post punk subculture tour will remember you forever!
    I know you can't read this and feel my love, but if I'm not here anymore, I won't survive tomorrow, all this will be in my heart forever and I will remember you! I am proud of what you have achieved! thanks for everything Ian!

    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
    Love, love will tear us apart again
    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 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
    Do you cry out in your sleep?
    All my failings exposed
    Gets a taste in my mouth
    As desperation takes hold
    And it's something so good
    Just can't function no more?

    Awesome, I'm late to the Joy Division party but impressed. Deep, emotion filled music with a haunting yet comforting sound. This is why I love UA-cam. Too young at the time to appreciate this music but the UA-cam time machine let me briefly relive that era.👏🏾

    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.

    There is something in the essence of this song that is so heartfelt and so real, that anyone from whatever background can connect with it. If you have loved and lost, this is what it feels like - tragic, because it hurts so much, but beautiful,, because you know that nothing will ever quite feel the same again... You will never reclaim that moment, the moment where you were there together and nothing will tear you apart, but you will never forget it either....

    I have to tell the story of how a complete rando got me into this song. I was in a pub one day and this guy just came up to me and just went "dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun". I had no idea what he was doing. He said "you look like Ian Curtis." Then he went "dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun" again. He was sh*tfaced but it stuck with me. So I looked up this song and that's how I became a fan.

      ​​@harleycampbell4981 Not only that, but the public didn't know immediately that Curtis was dead, not even John Peel. It took quite a few weeks for the news to break. I remember that there were no print mediums available for several weeks, due to the strike of the printers I think it was, so no NME or Melody Maker around for weeks. Then I remember popping into the news agent and Sounds had Joy Division on their cover, and at first I was jubilant, JD had made it, the're on the cover of one of the relevant music papers around at that time. But my joy only lasted for two or three seconds, after reading under the photograph
      Ian Curtis 15.07.1956 - 18.05.1980. It slowly dawned on me that " f*** this can't be true".
      So no, there was no Joy Division and especially no LWTUA beeing played on the radio on the 18/19 May 1980, because nobody knew yet that Ian had passed away, apart from the people close to him. Either the original poster has got something mixed up, or seeking for likes by spreading fake news.

    On this day, 36 years ago. A young dead soul who existed on the best terms he could made a fatal mistake searching for another day. He had the spirit but lost the feeling and gave us everything and more but the strain was too much and couldn't take much more. He felt it closing in, day in, day out, day in, day out as love tore him apart. Still touching from a distance, his heart and soul will never fade a away from the shadowplay.

    Music such as this is timeless & resonates with a type of heartfelt transcendence that you can only feel, however you wish to interpret its precise meaning (if it indeed has a precise meaning). Brimming with a romantic yearning, this solemnity, poignancy, sweetly resonant reflection, sense of deep ambivalence & depth of longing for a reconnection this song is universal, & basically captures the overall human essence in the steady yet well coordinated simplicity of its beat, with lyrics that touch the soul. Those were the days...........
