Joy Division in our Hearts
by Sacha Dumain
(Click on the title to listen to the song)
I’ve been waiting for a guide to come and take me by the hand.
Could these sensations make me feel the pleasures of a normal man.
New sensations barely interest me for another day.
I’ve got the spirit, lose the feeling, take the shock away.
It’s getting faster, moving faster now, it’s getting out of hand.
On the tenth floor, down the backstairs into no man’s land.
Lights are flashing, cars are crashing, getting frequent now.
I’ve got the spirit, lose the feeling, let it out somehow.
What means to you, what means to me, and we will meet again.
I’m watching you, I watch it all, I take no pity from your friends.
Who is right and who can tell and who gives a damn right now.
Until the spirit, new sensation takes hold, then you know.
I’ve got the spirit, but lose the feeling.
Feeling.

Ian Curtis, tout simplement le meilleur parolier (poète?) des 30 dernières années.
Le son, très froid et si particulier, du groupe.
La pochette de Unknown Pleasures. Lignes blanches sur fond noir. La cold-wave en prélude. Illustrée par les 100 dernières pulsations d’une étoile avant de mourir…
Thank you for posting something about them.
One of the greatest, as said, poets of the last decades.
Also the movie (Control, by Corbijn) is truly inspired and beautiful.
I.
C’est triste mais ce que je voulais dire, est l’exact commentaire de “Vague”
