    Lyrics:
    [Chorus]
    Walk in silence
    Don't walk away, in silence
    [Verse 1]
    See the danger, always danger
    Endless talking, life rebuilding
    Don't walk away
    [Chorus]
    Walk in silence
    Don't turn away, in silence
    [Verse 2]
    Your confusion, my illusion
    Worn like a mask of self-hate, confronts and then dies
    Don't walk away
    [Verse 3]
    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
    [Chorus]
    Don't walk away, in silence
    Don't walk away
    #JoyDivision #Atmosphere

    Can you believe a 23 year old wrote these words? He was more than a singer-songwriter, he was a tortured poet. His music was the expression of his conflict and turmoil and no one knew it until it was too late

    The post-punk funeral march. An utterly staggering piece of music that never fails to chill. When Ian first utters the word 'walk' at the beginning, we know it's not going to be an easy ride. It kind of encapsulates the sadness and loss surrounding the band and their tragic history. Long live JD and RIP IC x

    Listening to these lyrics reminds me that despite all the romantisation of Ian Curtis and his death I hope NOBODY has the go through the things that he felt, or anybody for that matter. My sister is an epilectic and has recently came out saying she wants to go through assisted suicide once our parents pass, which, fingers crossed, won't be anytime soon. While I support her decision as a grown adult remember to love those who are suffering and be sure to check on them.

    What is interesting is that despite the lyrics of Ian Curtis, Bernard said Ian was a joker, had a good sense of humour and was not walking around appearing to be depressed. If you listen to one of the only interviews of Ian, he sounds like a pretty regular guy.

    Honestly, I personally think this might be Joy Division's magnum opus. And that's saying a lot since their whole discography is a sight to behold! I think part of what makes Joy Division such an iconic band is the band's short lifespan. They only lasted 4 years (if you don't count New Order)! Yet, they had such a big influence on music and other bands that came after.

    Sometimes socialites and rich people don't understand they are unequal to scholars. Sometimes, people have delusions that they are scholars and intellectuals without hard times with the books. Art, music, mathematics, fiction, and poetry are often ways people attempt expressing this. Kudos if you can survive their onslaught with an attached clarity.
    Hint* One of the best ways people have found to express this inequality is through the atomic explosion that ended World War 2.

    This song and " Isolation by The Impures " .... are some of the only things getting me through the beginning of 2022. Times may be tough but everything going to be okay in the end. I hope everyone is doing well. .:DDDDDDDDV
