Although pretty much ignored by mainstream media when it was released thirty years ago, Joy Division's "Love Will Tear Us Apart" has endured to become a song loved by many, covered by scores, and enjoyed by everyone who hears it.
In this video, YouTube.com member joyedivision strings together clips from the film "Control" and creates a mash-up of many versions of the song.
When routine bites hard and ambitions are low And resentment rides high but emotions won't grow And we're changing our ways, taking different roads
Love, love will tear us apart again And love, love will tear us apart again Love, love will tear us apart again Love, love will tear us apart again
Why is your bedroom so cold Turned away on your side? Is my timing that flawed, our respect runs so dry? Yet there's still this appeal That we've kept through our lives
Love, love will tear us apart again Love, love will tear us apart again And love, love will tear us apart again Love, love will tear us apart again
Do you cry out in your sleep All my feelings expose? Get a taste in my mouth As desperation takes hold Is it something so good Just can't function no more?
When love, love will tear us apart again Love, love will tear us apart again And love, love will tear us apart again Love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again Love, love will tear us apart again Love, love will tear us apart again
