“Love Will Tear Us Apart” by Joy Division

Is it their best song?

It’s the only song by them I know. What others were any good?

What happened to them? They seemed cool, no?

I think that was their one hit and they broke up shorty after. I heard one works as a barista now.

The lead singer killed himself and they became New Order. Do some research.

Disorder, Transmission and She's Lost Control are other great songs by them. Atmosphere was recorded by Joy Division too, but the version by New Order is better known. Atmosphere is my favorite.

I love Age of Consent, too.

Campbell's Soup. Is this the only good art by Warhol. It’s the only art by him I know. What others were any good? What happened to him? He seemed cool, no?

I thought Love Will Keep Us Together?

I love Ceremony and Dead Souls, but the covers of them by Radiohead and Nine Inch Nails, respectively, are better than the original version.

It's an overrated concept.

Atmosphere is glorious.

I adore New Order. I love how they just created an entirely new sound, rather than continue Joy Division’s sound.

Apart, love will tear us

Ian Curtis was a tortured man who tortured everyone else around him & who stood by him. He made his wife and baby suffer badly.

Nowadays we'd call him "on the spectrum" and make excuses for his horrid, destructive behavior that left a widow & child scarred.

I remember being really surprised when I found out how old the song was.

24 Hour Party People is good too. Sean Harris plays Curtis.
