Joy Division

The gothic rock band. If you haven't listened to Joy Division, download a few of their songs. To start off, I would suggest: Atmosphere, Love Will Tear Us Apart, She's Lost Control, Day of the Lords, Heart and Soul. Several of the best fan sites about them have shut down, which means their fanbase is probably diminishing. :(

Woo! Joy Division = good band. Disorder is a good song too although LWTUA is definitely one of my favorites. - Megan

Yeah, I left off a lot of good songs. I didn't want the list to be /too/ long, so I left off some of my favorites.

Hasn't anyone else listened to this band?

Here's the lyrics to one of their songs. It's not their best, but I think it's a typical Joy Division song. If you listen to a lot of Bush, you might recognize it . . . they covered it on their remix album. Joy Division never had a chance to record it in the studio, though.

In a Lonely Place

"Caressing the marble and stone,
Love that was special for one,
The waste in the fever I heat,
How I wish you were here with me now.

Body that curls in and dies,
And shares that awful daylight,
Warm like a dog round your feet,
How I wish you were here with me now.

Hangman looks round as he waits,
Cord stretches tight then it breaks,
Someday we will die in your dreams,
How I wish we were here with you now."
