Joy Division
Have you ever heard of the British band Joy Division?
Despite their short career (1976-1980), this band from Manchester is one of the most influential in rock history.
The story of its frontman Ian Curtis is a tragic one. Curtis suffered from depression, marital problems, epilepsy, and in May 1980, aged only 23, committed suicide, leaving behind a wife and a 1-year-old daughter.
After Curtis\’ death, the remaining members continued as New Order.
\”Love Will Tear Us Apart\”
This haunting songーa dark portrait of coupledom delivered by a Stygian voiceーbecame Joy Division\’s highest charting release. The signature rhythm has been revisited tirelessly by subsequent rock bands.
\”Love Will Tear Us Apart\”・Joy Division
Lyrics:
Listen and fill in the gaps:
\”When routine bites ____,
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 ____?
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 _____,
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. (x3)\”
