What is interesting is that despite the lyrics of Ian Curtis, Bernard said Ian was a joker, had a good sense of humour and was not walking around appearing to be depressed. If you listen to one of the only interviews of Ian, he sounds like a pretty regular guy.

Listening to these lyrics reminds me that despite all the romantisation of Ian Curtis and his death I hope NOBODY has the go through the things that he felt, or anybody for that matter. My sister is an epilectic and has recently came out saying she wants to go through assisted suicide once our parents pass, which, fingers crossed, won't be anytime soon. While I support her decision as a grown adult remember to love those who are suffering and be sure to check on them.

Can you believe a 23 year old wrote these words? He was more than a singer-songwriter, he was a tortured poet. His music was the expression of his conflict and turmoil and no one knew it until it was too late

The saddest thing is that his lyrics speak for everyone. Yet here we are.

The post-punk funeral march. An utterly staggering piece of music that never fails to chill. When Ian first utters the word 'walk' at the beginning, we know it's not going to be an easy ride. It kind of encapsulates the sadness and loss surrounding the band and their tragic history. Long live JD and RIP IC x

Put it this way. He knew and felt exactly what he was singing about. Although people are as they are.

First heard Joy Division in 1979. I thought it was an old man singing, then when I saw who Ian was, I realised he was an old soul.

It's so hypnotic, pure. This man was a f.... genius. This band is immortal. 40 years and we are here, like we have a crush on this amazing band.. Thank you Joy Division, thank you Ian.

It's when you realise that life's nothing special that you start to dwell in this realm of thought. He did that very young and better than any of uss. That's what's making it so great.

Honestly, I personally think this might be Joy Division's magnum opus. And that's saying a lot since their whole discography is a sight to behold! I think part of what makes Joy Division such an iconic band is the band's short lifespan. They only lasted 4 years (if you don't count New Order)! Yet, they had such a big influence on music and other bands that came after.

Yeah, Ian Curtis is the greatest poet that’s ever lived and fronted a band There is nobody like Ian Curtis I wanna write a curriculum based on in for the English department “Ian Curtis is God” I don’t have my PhD yet but this song is destroying me They really are the best of all time. I’m voice texting because I’ve been crying.

This Band is from another World.

秋の夕暮れにこの曲を聞きながら息を引き取りたい。

I know the lyrics are the best. Poet. I know the band are the best. Ever. I know the production is the best. Hannet. But i never realised how great curtis voice is. Superb. Just great. How deep and emotional.

On that ‘87 tour at the show in Los Angeles they came out for a second encore after the lights had come on at the outdoor amphitheater and played “Sister Ray.” Place was half empty at that point. People couldn’t get back in. It was an awesome double bill with Echo and the Bunnymen. One of my favorite concert experiences of all time.

Trust the world and you shall reap its rewards. Reality is a modern art movement. Speak the truth and people will love you for it.

Sometimes socialites and rich people don't understand they are unequal to scholars. Sometimes, people have delusions that they are scholars and intellectuals without hard times with the books. Art, music, mathematics, fiction, and poetry are often ways people attempt expressing this. Kudos if you can survive their onslaught with an attached clarity. Hint* One of the best ways people have found to express this inequality is through the atomic explosion that ended World War 2.

If you understand Abandonment...You understand Joy Division.
