Lyrics:
[Verse 1]
Instincts that can still betray us
A journey that leads to the sun
Soulless and bent on destruction
A struggle between right and wrong
You take my place in the showdown
I'll observe with a pitiful eye
I'll humbly ask for forgiveness
A request well beyond you and I

[Chorus]
Heart and soul, one will burn
Heart and soul, one will burn

[Verse 2]
An abyss that laughs at creation
A circus complete with all fools
Foundations that lasted the ages
Then ripped apart at their roots
Beyond all this good is the terror
The grip of a mercenary hand
When savagery turns all good reason
There's no turning back, no last stand

[Chorus]
Heart and soul, one will burn
Heart and soul, one will burn

[Verse 3]
Existence, well, what does it matter?
I exist on the best terms I can
The past is now part of my future
The present is well out of hand
The present is well out of hand

[Chorus]
Heart and soul, one will burn
Heart and soul, one will burn
One will burn, one will burn
Heart and soul, one will burn

Joy Division was the ultimate what could've been.

[danielreinhardt]

I'm 60 and this is my favorite band and song

[mariantile_i]

You're never the same person after you've heard "Heart and Soul". Challenges listeners with its existential truth, while at the same time provides a cathartic listening experience. "Closer" is a cornerstone album in post-punk, truly pioneering.

[eloisemusgrove]

my favourite song!! i’m only 15 but this sure is my favourite band ever. they’re so brilliant.

[Efflife.]

The drums are exceptional on this and the lyrics so purposefully prophetic...RIP Ian Curtis

[dazpowell]

After all these years, I still love this track, their best imo, 44 years ago, just crazy

[johnoreilly]

I first heard Closer in 1983 as a 16 year old. The second side (from this on) are as perfect as music gets. I'm still listening to it 40 years later.

[ladystardust]

In my humble opinion, the best lyrics ever written. Existence well what does it

[zulutwenty]

The influence of this sound. Immense..

[HyperBiker]

If there is such a thing as a perfect song, this must be pretty close. Ian's lyrics are sublime.

[beatboxer]

I thank my dad every day for telling me about Joy Divison. Absolute masterpieces they made i’m 15 and Enjoy every single album released by them. Ian helps me up everytime i’ve called to a sad moment in my life. I’ll go to his grave in macclesfield to the day i die. Absolutely changed me. Thank you JD

[Dexterx]

The lyrics, not only being so poetic, they are so prophetic as well

[morningstarrss]

I love this song when I'm in bed just staring at my ceiling, doing nothing but enjoying some good music!

[Yathome]

LOVE this song still even after almost 40 years! ❤️❤️

[khambrelgreen]

This is my favourite song to play bass alongside. The Bass line is so seductive.

[abrahamlopez]

"I exist on the best terms I can... The present is well out of hand" 🖤

[AW-krfl]

I love their other songs but this one is totally unique and sounds like it’s from another world. The eerie synth in the background that kicks in at 2:37 is genius

[morticialechatnoir]

Got into them at art school to be hip. 44 years later still listening and just as mystified.

[romeandjames]

"There is no turning back the last stand."

Wanna be whatever age you are now, forever?

[ИльяБалакин-фь]
