Joy Division.

I have uploaded this photo as it maybe good to use for my final product. Even though this photograph is simple, it shows so much emotion in his eyes the photo tells you what he is feeling and now, after his suicide it has come to light,

Tony Wilson said in 2005, "I think all of us made the mistake of not thinking his suicide was going to happen.... We all completely underestimated the danger. We didn't take it seriously. That's how stupid we were."

Songs that Stick out from this album:

-Isolation

In fear every day, every evening,
He calls her aloud from above,
Carefully watched for a reason,
Painstaking devotion and love,
Surrendered to self preservation,
From others who care for themselves.
A blindness that touches perfection,
But hurts just like anything else.

Isolation, isolation, isolation.

Mother I tried please believe me,
I'm doing the best that I can.
I'm ashamed of the things I've been put through,
I'm ashamed of the person I am.

Isolation, isolation, isolation.

But if you could just see the beauty,
These things I could never describe,
These pleasures a wayward distraction,
This is my one lucky prize.

Isolation, isolation, isolation...

-A Means To An End
-Twenty Four Hours

Songs That Stick Out From This Album:

-She's Lost Control
-Disorder
-New Dawn Fades

A change of speed, a change of style.
A change of scene, with no regrets,
A chance to watch, admire the distance,
Still occupied, though you forget.
Different colours, different shades,
Over each mistakes were made.
I took the blame.
Directionless so plain to see,
A loaded gun won't set you free.
So you say.
We'll share a drink and step outside,
An angry voice and one who cried,
'We'll give you everything and more,
The strain's too much, can't take much more.'
I've walked on water, run through fire,
Can't seem to feel it anymore.
It was me, waiting for me,
Hoping for something more,
Me, seeing me this time,
Hoping for something else.






This is what i think of when i think of Joy Division!



Some more images to help me along with the project, the above shows the whole band in what looks to be a promotional photograph, the below shows Ian Curtis Stone, with the mortal words "Love Will Tear Us Apart"



Love, love will tear us apart.
