We need an Ian Curtis thread

[HEyHEY]

This is an Ian Curtis thread


I just had "digital" on, love that tune

[CanuckAmok]

1. Okay:

So this is permanence, love's shattered pride.
What once was innocence, turned on its side.
A cloud hangs over me, marks every move,
Deep in the memory, of what once was love.

Oh how I realised how I wanted time,
Put into perspective, tried so hard to find,
Just for one moment, thought I'd found my way.
Destiny unfolded, I watched it slip away.

Excessive flashpoints, beyond all reach,
Solitary demands for all I'd like to keep.
Let's take a ride out, see what we can find,
A valueless collection of hopes and past desires.

I never realised the lengths I'd have to go,
All the darkest corners of a sense I didn't know.
Just for one moment, I heard somebody call,
Looked beyond the day in hand, there's nothing there at all.

Now that I've realised how it's all gone wrong,
Gotta find some therapy, this treatment takes too long.
Deep in the heart of where sympathy held sway,
Gotta find my destiny, before it gets too late.

7. His best lyrics:

Just for one moment, I though I found my way
Then destiny unfolded, I watched it slip away...

And you're still alive?!

[HEyHEY]

[GirlinContempt]

5. Joy Division never depressed me

6. "Atmosphere" might be the greatest song of all-time

And the second side of "Closer" is perfection..

8. Anton Corbijn is working on a film about Curtis.

9. You don't care about Joy Division or Ian Curtis

You just want to get laid. There--someone had to say it.

11. love will tear us apart again

When the routine bites hard
And ambitions are low
And the 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

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
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

12. "This is the room, the start of it all,......

...Through childhood, through youth, I remember it all,
Oh, I've seen the nights filled with bloodsport and pain,
And the bodies obtained, the bodies obtained, the bodies obtained.

Where will it end? Where will it end?
Where will it end? Where will it end?"

13. Just watching the trees and the leaves as they fall.

My favorite band in the past five years, hands down.

According to his wife, Ian was a Tory. :-/
