- chimeracoder 4y ago> Interesting, never heard this version. Heard only another Joy Division recording of it and New Order's. Digging the lower tempo It was written as a Joy Division song; Ian Curtis wrote the lyrics just a few weeks before he died. There are three Joy Divison recordings of it: one performed live (at what ended up being their final concert, though nobody knew it at the time), one studio recording, and one bootleg recording of a soundcheck for the aforementioned concert. Because Curtis died before Joy Division finished the studio recording, all three recordings are unfortunately of suboptimal quality. Which is quite a shame - it would be nice to have an album quality recording of that final song.
