Ed says: "Love will tear us apart...again, Love will tear us apart...again"!!!

An Ode to Joy Division's 'Love will tear us apart'. I was absolutely floored. Joy Division is one of my all time favorite bands, and IMO they are one of the most influential bands of the past 30 years(and they only made 2 albums!!!). Just ask The Killers, or Interpol, or NIN, or any other dark 'Gothic' or 'Industrial' bands that have come along. Ian Curtis was a tortured soul, and a genius with a pen. After Ian's suicide, the rest of the band fomed New Order, who were and are quite influential in their own right, but they were never as dark IMO, and didn't 'touch' me they way Joy Division's music did.

R.I.P. Ian Curtis...

By the way, Joy Division is one of the all time greatest band names ever...anyone know what it refers to...

    Right on the money. Another awful chapter in a horrific chain of events, but one hell of a band name

    Yeah, bro. I freaked. It's not in the same key, and the melody isn't quite right, but he says the words: "Love will tear us apart...again. Love will tear us apart...again" I didn't think I could admire Ed anymore than I already did.
