Joy Division - Isolation download song

i love how every joy division fan collectively agrees this is coronavirus's theme song

Forty years on, due to coronavirus this feels like the theme song of 2020.

the lyrics in this song are incredibly hopeless. He was at his lyrical peak, but at his personal depth.

This is basically a brilliant poem on top of fantastic music.

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, isolation, isolation.

PERFECTO : 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...

I always feel a little creeped out whenever I listen to Joy Division. Maybe because I keep thinking about Ian's suicide and how sometimes their songs sound a very obscure.

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

What I love is how the upbeat feel of the music completely and ingeniously contrasts the context of the lyrics.

When you've been through a dark life, this song is so poignant. Wow

Love how the drums start electronic and then the acoustic kit comes in at the second half

most depressive and powerful lyric by ian curtis. unbelievable! fucking great

This song speaks to me. I've been "Isolated" since i was 15,i lost a significant part of my life beacuse of that. People say i'm still "Young" and that i have time enough,however i think i lost it all. I lost my friends,i lost a part of my life that would be very pleasant,i lost myself. All because of my huge social anxiety and bipolar disorder.

I have been isolated from my friends and turned away. Rejected and abandoned. I have thought about suicide and thought to myself if I do succeed that I cannot listen to joy Division if i am dead

Official Covid-19 hymn.

"Mother I've 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" - perhaps the best verse on this entire album.

I'll be honest, I came over to this video and comment section specifically to see how many covid comments there'd be

It's unbelievable to me, as a 38 year old woman, to fathom how eloquent, precocious, and aware Ian Curtis's lyrics and insight into the human condition, the destructive and soul crushing nature of depression, eroded relationships, marital discord, and alienation was at his tender age when he wrote these songs. It's always astounded me, but even more so now, at a time where I too am dealing with a failing marriage and have had life tear me apart in so many ways do I truly get what an "old soul" he seriously was... you'd think these were the words of a man decades older, reflecting back on a long, troubled life. Seriously. Look at most 20 year olds. Then read Ian's words... It's honestly chilling in a way. His understanding of mental illness, disconnection from both society and those close to him, and general disillusionment is astounding...
