The words look to the band\u2019s 1980 single, and first chart hit, \u201cLove Will Tear Us Apart.\u201d With his haunting vocals layered over innovative instrumental melodies and textures, Curtis and Joy Division built a poetic and musical masterpiece which would inspire generations to come. The song is both inspiring and heart-wrenching, juxtaposing a danceable, almost euphoric, instrumental track against devastatingly intimate lyrical writing. In 2015, Stuart Berman reflected in Pitchfork magazine: \u201cIt may be impossible to hear \u201cLove Will Tear Us Apart\u201d as anything other than rock\u2019s most exquisitely crafted suicide note.\u201d While the song\u2019s success, followed quickly by that of the band\u2019s second album Closer, would have poised the group for a promising future, Curtis\u2019s premature death on the eve of the band\u2019s first American tour, and only a few weeks before the track\u2019s release, had made that dream tragically impossible. With \u201cLove Will Tear Us Apart\u201d Joy Division established themselves as one of the most influential leaders of the post-punk era, merging captivating melodies and textures with a punk attitude and brutally honest lyrics.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-47180 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/joy-division1.jpeg\" alt=\"joy division1\" width=\"1080\" height=\"610\" \/>On June 4, 1976, future Joy Division founding members, Bernard Sumner and Pete Hook attended a Sex Pistols show at Machester\u2019s Less Free Trade Hall. Hook reminisced, \u201con the way home that night, we decided to form a band. If they can do it, we said, meaning the Pistols, then so can we.\u201d It wasn\u2019t until the third Sex Pistols show on December 9, that the pair ran into Curtis. From there, the band went through a quick series of transformations (and band names). finally landing on a line up of Curtis on vocals, Sumner on guitar\/keyboard, Hook on bass and Stephen Morris on drums. The influence of the Sex Pistols on the band should be unsurprising given the moment in which they were formed. But the revolutionary spark that had been ignited by punk burned hot and fast. Joy Division emerged from the still-smoldering ashes of punk and reveled in that darkness. Writing for Uncut magazine in 1998, David Stubbs concluded \u201cJoy Division were the last British band who mattered, for whom something was truly the matter&#8230;There was a dark, cold, terrible, authentic centre to Joy Division which exists in no other rock band, European or American, past or present.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-47181 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_4745.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"749\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_4745.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_4745-485x606.jpeg 485w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_4745-20x25.jpeg 20w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_4745-385x481.jpeg 385w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Of course, that darkness is undoubtedly more pronounced in retrospect &#8211; knowing how the band would end &#8211; and the journey to get there. In 1978, Curtis began experiencing severe epileptic seizures. Over the next two years, they would become more severe and more frequent. Joy Division\u2019s rising success only made things more challenging. Show lighting and sounds, drinking, smoking and a life on the road undoubtedly worsened his condition. Curtis also began experiencing severe mood swings, likely caused both by side-effects of some medications, as well as by the lack of success in finding effective treatment. In the midst of this tumultuous time, Curtis also began having an affair. Torn between his new love and his commitment to his wife and new daughter (born in April 1979), Curtis struggled heavily with feelings of guilt. Today, we can look back on the lyrics to his songs and see this internal battle. When he sings: \u201cYou cry out in your sleep, all my failings exposed,\u201d we can read his biography of pain and guilt into those lyrics. But as Sumner reflects, the extent of his pain wasn\u2019t always clear to his bandmates: \u201cNo-one sat down and said, \u2018Have you read Ian\u2019s lyrics, they\u2019re a bit\u2026\u2019 because he was a normal, happy guy. It was very difficult to tell with Ian what he could and couldn\u2019t handle. We had no idea \u2013 we hadn\u2019t known him that long. We didn\u2019t know he was approaching his breaking point.\u201d The song\u2019s title, an ironic twist on Captain and Tennille\u2019s 1975 hit \u201cLove Will Keep Us Together,\u201d captures Curtis\u2019 downward spiral of depression, as his health deteriorated and his marriage fell apart.<\/p>\n<p>But while Curtis\u2019 lyrics, coupled with his deep baritone vocal color, provide insight into his darker struggles, the music retains much of the young, playful energy that the band says characterized their experience. Sumner recalled this dichotomy in an interview with Uncut in 2018 :<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe strange contradiction with Joy Division was, it was a laugh being in that band&#8230;We had lots of jolly japery, it was a real good time. But I guess everybody\u2019s got two aspects of their personality, at least, and the music reflected the other aspect of everyone\u2019s personality. With Ian, there were definitely two agendas going on, but I can only really say that with hindsight, because at the time the only clue to his darker side were his lyrics. And we never listened to his lyrics.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-47176 lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" data-src=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/joy-division5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1080\" height=\"851\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/joy-division5.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/joy-division5-600x473.jpg 600w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/joy-division5-768x605.jpg 768w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/joy-division5-770x606.jpg 770w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/joy-division5-20x16.jpg 20w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/joy-division5-769x606.jpg 769w, https:\/\/producelikeapro.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/joy-division5-385x303.jpg 385w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In juxtaposition with the vocals, the instrumental side of the track offers a catchy, danceable feel &#8211; emulating the uninhibited stage performances for which Curtis is remembered. The song was a popular number in the band\u2019s live shows even before they recorded the single. According to Hook, the bass line was actually the inspiration for the song: \u201c\u2018Love Will Tear Us Apart\u2019 came about due to the bass riff&#8230;and me and Steve getting the backing track. There\u2019s hardly any keyboards and on the first version there\u2019s hardly any guitar. It was written quite simply.\u201d Like much of music written in the post-punk era, the song certainly carries an outward simplicity &#8211; lacking the virtuosic guitar lines or vocal prowess of the arena rock bands of the mid-seventies &#8211; but that simplicity does not indicate a lack of inventiveness. Joy Division\u2019s unique sound takes Hook\u2019s bass line &#8211; higher and more melodic than one would expect from the instrument &#8211; and mirrors its melody in the other instruments and even in Curtis\u2019 vocals. The result is entrancing.<\/p>\n<p>Today, listeners are still captivated by \u201cLove Will Tear Us Apart,\u201d its dark authenticity seemingly inseparable from the tragedy that preceded its release. As Len Brown observed for NME in 1990:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIan Curtis was no more by the time Closer and \u2018Love Will Tear Us Apart\u2019 reached us, which makes it more difficult to measure their true merit objectively. During his lifetime, Joy Division colonised only the Independent charts. After he\u2019d hanged himself, in the early hours of Sunday May 18, 1980, \u2018Love Will Tear Us Apart\u2019 reached number 13 in the UK singles charts, selling 160,000 copies; Closer reached six in the album charts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>However, the song\u2019s legacy extends far beyond that of a dark voyeurism. Its lasting influence has been recounted time and again by both musicians (The Cure, U2, Radiohead, Nine Inch Nails) and music critics. NME even named the song the greatest single of all time in 2002. In the earliest moments of the post-punk era, \u201cLove Will Tear Us Apart\u201d and Joy Division offered a radical new sound which enveloped Curtis\u2019 groundbreaking, brutally honest, lyrical writing and would influence generations of musicians to come.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_raw_html]JTNDaWZyYW1lJTIwd2lkdGglM0QlMjI1NjAlMjIlMjBoZWlnaHQlM0QlMjIzMTUlMjIlMjBzcmMlM0QlMjJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnd3dy55b3V0dWJlLmNvbSUyRmVtYmVkJTJGdVktUGxaeElRNGslMjIlMjBmcmFtZWJvcmRlciUzRCUyMjAlMjIlMjBhbGxvdyUzRCUyMmFjY2VsZXJvbWV0ZXIlM0IlMjBhdXRvcGxheSUzQiUyMGNsaXBib2FyZC13cml0ZSUzQiUyMGVuY3J5cHRlZC1tZWRpYSUzQiUyMGd5cm9zY29wZSUzQiUyMHBpY3R1cmUtaW4tcGljdHVyZSUyMiUyMGFsbG93ZnVsbHNjcmVlbiUzRSUzQyUyRmlmcmFtZSUzRQ==[\/vc_raw_html][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]By Caitlin Vaughn Carlos If you visit Macclesfield Cemetery just outside of the English town in the county of Cheshire, you will find a small, plain gravestone with the inscription \u201clove will tear us apart\u201d &#8211; a bittersweet epitaph to memorialize the tragically short life of Joy Division\u2019s Ian Curtis.
