My all time favourite Joy Division song is 24 Hours, but the best known song of the band is probably Love Will Tear Us Apart.

It might sound strange, but i always found that the original version lacks emotion, it sounds even a bit pragmatic to me. Being a romantic, i expect more from a song like that. I want vocals that are crystal clear, but are sobbing at the same time. I want guitars that sound like bagpipes and of course i want an army of violins.

The cover by Human Drama has all of that and i love it for it. It comes from their cover album titled Pinups. That me reminds me that i haven’t said that i like how they copied the original Pinups album cover by David Bowie.

One More Thing: make sure you have someone to hug right after the song ends. And keep a box of tissues nearby.

Of course the news item was about his movie Control. I just seen all 18 Youtube clips of the film. It might not be the best way to watch a movie, but it was more than worth it.  Even on a tiny screen, Control is an intense experience.
