Criminally underrated. RIP Adrian

Rest in peace Adrian Borland, you deserved so much more.

Ian and Adrian let there be light in the darkness.

Adrian, If you can read this youtube comment from beyond the grave... I love you man and I cherish your music and it makes me feel warm inside............

Adrian was special. His voice , the music, the lyrics so special still listening after more than 40 years!

Meraviglia delle meraviglie questa cover dei Joy Division. Grazie Adrian. R.I.P.

Seeing the pictures of him as a young innocent child made me cry. RIP Adrian

God it hurts!!! Greatest cover ever

Giornata terrificante. Fortuna ci sei tu Adrian, é così facile ricorrere alla tua musica per stare un po' meglio. Sempre tuo

Some bands especially the sound are just too good and find themselves under the radar so to speak diamonds in the rough I'm so chuffed i discovered Adrian borland and the sound etc it was joy division that caught my attention to this band who are like a mix of JD, the doors, magazine, echo and the bunnymen and one more in sonic youth. Absolute genius i love discovering new artists such as xiu xiu and black ceiling be the others I'm digesting these days they are way more relatable than Duran Duran for example. R.i.p Adrian borland R.i.p Ian Curtis.

still hear The Sound in my cranium jukebox to this day, thanks and peace to Adrian and Ian...

been listening to his music a lot lately .. it is my salvation.

Such a special soul. I've followed and become invested in tons of musicians over the years but Adrian will always mean the most to me. I hope I'll get to see him some day. Until then I reckon he's in there somewhere within the hearts of many who keep his memory alive.

I saw abd heard Adrian play it in Liège, what a perfomance that was. One of my favourites JD songs sung by a wonderful artist RIP Adrian

I've said this on KZfaq before, but I had no idea that this existed, and it is so, so good. Adrian sounds so amazingly calm, whilst whirling in introspective wonder. This song can barely be done badly, and nothing tops the original, but I love this anyway.

Best cover from the unique Adrian.

Walk in silence Don't walk away, in silence See the danger Always danger Endless talking Life rebuilding Don't walk away Walk in silence Don't turn away, in silence Your confusion My illusion Worn like a mask of self-hate Confronts and then dies Don't walk away People like you find it easy Naked to see Walking on air Hunting by the rivers, through the streets, every corner Abandoned too soon Set down with due care Don't walk away in silence Don't walk away

Such a sweet soul... Thank you.......

He was a great songwriter! I miss him!

Love.... Just Love.... You gave us a shining road..... ♥♥♥...... Thank you .....

Seductive and desperate. Magnificent

Together in Heaven , Ian & Adrian. 🎸 on !

R.i.p. Adrian e Ian eroi della mia giovinezza!

Grazie di tutto Adrian

Grande Adrian, mi hai accompagnato una vita con la tua voce e la tua musica. Avrei voluto conoscerti di persona per omaggiarti della tua bravura e tante volte o sognato un lavoro insieme alla tua band. Con la tua musica sono cresciuto ed ho passato momenti belli e brutti della mia vita. Ogni volta che devo provare seriamente i miei impianti prima di ogni lavoro, mi è spontaneo utilizzare i tuoi meravigliosi brani. Così per renderti omaggio e ricordarti... perché la musica rende immortali.

A superb cover

absolutely fantastic......... Adrian forever

Adrian was such a goddamn genius

Magic. Thanks, Adrian.

This is so beautiful. I'm speechless. Cheers mate, cheers.

Beautiful soul, I hope you're in peace now.

An absolute genius of music. Thank you Adrian.

i miss you, Adrian : ( you're the best

Desde este cielo gracias por tu legado!!! Amo tu voz, la letra de tus canciones, los sonidos de tu creatividad!!! Aquí estás y estarás por mucho tiempo!!!!!

Fantastico come sempre mio caro Adrian

Meesterlijk. Wat een gevoel!!! Ian must be proud.

Thank you Adrian... RIP

How on earth have i not come to discover Adrian borland and the sound he and Ian have each other to walk in silence in heaven with and i for one find some comfort in that now I'm going to continue my much belated discovery of this unique sound "thee sound" I get envious if I hear someone expresses how they only just discovered a great band such as JD so don't be jealous thar I am about to fun ride this sound wave till I kill it lol

VIELEN LIEBEN DANK...FRIEDEN und FREIHEIT...

I dare say this is the best cover Edit: adrian thank you. Very poetic. Please reach out if you need to talk. You are not alone.

Impresionante, es dificil de olvidarte Adrian.

Adrian e Ian, lendas

Belíssima cover Adrian. Descanse em paz. Ian ficou orgulhoso neste dia.

Adrian: you knew why this meant so much to us. Not a cover, not an homage, but a visceral calling. Thank you, god bless.

The best cover of this song,and Adrian just gives this stripped down version a different "Atmosphere".l'd love to see Bruce Springsteen cover this,as this version sounds like it could easily fit on his "Nebraska" album.

Fantastic. Will say the Sound was for me a rare gem of a band I discovered in Greece in 1989... not too much radio play in Detroit then... lol. From the Lion's Mouth one of my favorite albums of ALL time. Bravo. Check out my home version of New Dawn Fades. Thanks, Niko

Preciosa versión...

legendary

ΥΟU WILL NEVER DIE.

Hai dato più di quello che hai ricevuto, ora sei da qualche parte a cantare con Ian le vostre canzoni. Non sarai mai dimenticato. Grazie.

Thank you.... Adrian Borland..... *****

RIP Adrian. What a beautiful cover. ❤

Not to proud to do a cover you were a good man Adrian R.I.P your legacy will go on and on.

ADRIAN AND IAN 4 EVER! ;)

thx for sharing...luv u adrian

Wonderful

δέος

Perfect. Thnx. Rip.

La testa di Ian Curtis, il cuore di Adrian Borland e lo stile dei Velvet Underground

Nice cover.

Che bellezza❣

Пермь ,Россия знаем такого чувака и его команды...Хороший музыкант!

AWESOME

GREAT

une vie a chercher des gens avec une sensibilité et surtout une envie de devenir une grande personne fiable, pour nous sauver

Sweet Adrian ❤️😭🧐🤧

exellentissime adrian borland tout comme yan curtis partie trop tot hellas

❤️

precioso

fav

Anyone who covers this song well is okay with me.

j'aime tellement

I was lucky enough to see Adrian and the Sound live. Being a left hooker, he has joined an exclusive club........ Jimi, Kurt..... The choice of an Ian Curtis song is prophetic.....l can't look at pictures of a beautiful child, knowing his fate, without getting emotional. The Sound never got the recognition that they deserved......

♥

I have Mike Dudley and Graham Bailey's (Green) autographs.

Guy Man - you've missed the point I am sorry to say! Adrian Borland RIP!

Never realised how much he sounded like Lou Reed....Great though!

This sounds quite Velvet- y to me

Honolulu Mountain Daffodils brought me here . I've loved them since 1988 but knew nowt about them . Turns out the internet is good for something other than pornography and lies after all .

Is er een beter bewijs dan dat Borland himself JD in het daglicht zet, Nu NO nog een tegenprestatie

Kif sa moti skiperie ALEXANDER THE GREEK 1976 36 01:36

You're not up to the song you're singing

love the sound,from the lions mouth especially,and love joy division,but ya just cant cover joy division,without it being awful,sorry,

i wished he'd made it to at least the early 2000's and the internet has kicked off. People would have found him amd discovered that he was their favourite artist of all time that but they hadnt heard him yet. Someone would have marketed him and he would have found the audience that were screaming out for him all along. Im sure if that positive attention came in droves as it would he would have survived. He would have been a Messiah to so many disenfranchised young people out there. Rest in peace a musical genius
