Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
A legacy so far removed
One day will be improved
Eternal rights we left behind
We were the better kind
Two the same, set free too
[Chorus]
I always looked to you
I always looked to you
I always looked to you
[Verse 2]
We fought for good, stood side by side
Our friendship never died
On stranger waves, the lows and highs
Our vision touched the sky
Immortalists with points to prove
[Chorus]
I put my trust in you
I put my trust in you
I put my trust in you
[Verse 3]
A house somewhere on foreign soil
Where aging lovers call
Is this your goal, your final needs
Where dogs and vultures eat
Committed still I turn to go
[Chorus]
I put my trust in you
I put my trust in you
I put my trust in you
I put my trust in you
In you. In you. In you
Put my trust in you, in you
#JoyDivision #AMeansToAnEnd

Out of all of Joy Division's songs this gives me the most energy, you can get a fearsome pace listening to this

Genres.. people try to label bands like Joy Division, Bauhaus, Love And Rockets, Sisters Of Mercy, others as Gothic. Mostly because of "Dark Lyrics, tones. Post Punk? Alternative? There is definitely a difference, but not sure where it falls. People love to compartmentalize things.. especially things that most don't understand.

@Skiamakhos 2 жыл бұрын

The definitive version of this is the one on "Still" just a week or so before he unalived himself. You can hear the stress, despair & barely contained rage in his voice. This is a sanitised, McDonalds cheese version that lacks any of that. Still is why JD are considered dark & gothic, if only for that - but from a musicology POV we have tom-tom heavy drums & melodic bass, doomy vocals... What more do you need?

Loved them from the minute I heard their first song. The band played regularly around the clubs in Manchester, uk. They didn't live far from where I do, only about 10 miles. Ian's voice, the best and if you close your eyes, you'd think he was a soul singer. I introduced the band a couple of years ago to my teenage grandsons, who have played guitars, and are very good musians and the lads loved them. Even their friends love the band and most of them couldn't believe they had never heard of them.. Plus they also couldn't believe it that it was grandparents who put the music onto them. Don't know if you have seen the film which was only made a few years ago and joy division, it's called Control. You can get it through prime, Netflix or even u tube. R. I. P Ian and thanks for all the wonderful memories, love you xxxx xxxx

*The Puzzle of Gendering* The gendering of male and female aspects into nature and man-made concepts is a big tradition that has seeped right into the languages of mankind. The puzzle of gendering, however, is not as simple as it appears and not always related to social constructs but to Creation or evolution. This is because, regardless of whether one believes in Creation of God or that of a Darwinian report, the aspects of male and female were not split apart evenly in either Creation or cell division or the spirit. This is what imparts the physical attraction of male and female. The major enduring question is to find which aspects were "switched at birth" so to speak that impart this attraction and confuse the simple gendering process. A female is rarely destructive or violent. That is a good place to begin as to which male processes are actually feminine.
