    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

      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
      @Skiamakhos Před rokem +1

      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

    A Means To An End
    Joy Division
    Um legado até agora removido
    Um dia será aperfeiçoado
    Direitos eternos deixados para trás
    A gente era do melhor tipo
    Dois iguais, ambos livres
    Eu sempre pareci com você
    Eu sempre pareci com você
    Eu sempre pareci com você
    Nós lutamos pelo bem, lado a lado
    Nossa amizade nunca morreu
    Sobre ondas estranhas, as baixas e as altas
    Nossa visão tocou os céus
    Imortalistas com argumentos para provar
    Eu confiei em você
    Eu confiei em você
    Eu confiei em você
    Uma casa em algum lugar em solo estrangeiro
    Onde antiquados amantes chamam
    É esse seu objetivo, suas necessidades finais?
    Onde cães e abutres comem
    Ainda comprometido, me viro para partir
    Eu confiei em você
    Eu confiei em você
    Eu confiei em você
    Eu confiei em você
    Em você, em você, em você
    Confiei em você
    Em você
