Lyrics:
I've been waiting for a guide to come and take me by the hand,
Could these sensations make me feel the pleasures of a normal man?
These sensations barely interest me for another day,
I've got the spirit, lose the feeling, take the shock away.

It's getting faster, moving faster now, it's getting out of hand,
On the tenth floor, down the back stairs, it's a no man's land,
Lights are flashing, cars are crashing, getting frequent now,
I've got the spirit, lose the feeling, let it out somehow.

What means to you, what means to me, and we will meet again,
I'm watching you, I'm watching her, I'll take no pity from your friends,
Who is right, who can tell, and who gives a right now,
Until the spirit new sensation takes hold, then you know,
Until the spirit new sensation takes hold, then you know,
Until the spirit new sensation takes hold, then you know,
I've got the spirit, but lose the feeling,
I've got the spirit, but lose the feeling.
Feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling.

What we actually needed were clips of Ian dancing his heart out.

Imagine taking one of the best songs of the century and using as the background for your student movie

[pedrozascon]

Joy division will always be known for its great music. Don't let these kind of videos get in the way of this great legacy.

Imagine... One of the most passionate, innovative and sincere songs as an advert, to sell Gap t-shirts.

Last time I checked, Joy Division and TikTok don’t mix.

Right. (Constructive criticism) what they should do is listen to the lyrics. What does this video have to do with the lyrics. "I've go the spirit, but loose the feeling". I dont see how this video incorporates that with the visuals. "Cars are crashing, lights are flashing, getting frequent now". I see no sign of that in the video. Just give us what we want. A video that pays homage to the band and the death of an amazing musician. I get a feeling of a crowded Manchester city centre with this song. Dark and murky. Eerie like the music. This song makes you feel so many different emotions at once. For me and I speak for many others when I say, this is our favourite song and the first one we heard from the group. Lets relive the moment when we first heard it.

“I’ve been waiting for a guide to come and take my by the hand. Can these sensations make me feel the pleasure of a normal man.” Those lines gave me goosebumps. I was instantly hooked to Unknown Pleasures. An incredible and sublime opening song to a timeless album.

Let’s hope this never happens for Closer

[AndiRAin]

There’s music for musicians and there’s music for everyone else. Making Joy Division videos has been a mistake from the beginning. We love Joy Division for what we hear not for what we see.

[Castrated__]

These new videos for the songs are shite. I'd rather just have a plain black screen with lyrics lol.

[musicharrygiles]

The fan made video on youtube is miles better than this because it actually seems connected with the song. never thought I’d say a fanmade thing is better than the real thing

[nilsoneverton]

Ian was the first and tragically left us too soon. His brief passage in this world was enough to leave a legacy that inspired hundreds of bands and still remains 🤘🌹

[thm._]

please stop, leave joy division alone

[jacobfiil]

Ian Curtis' voice must be the most haunting of all times. So sad and yet so beautiful...

[anibalmolina]

Dont screw it up, this is my favourite song

[anorexorcistburger]

My memory of where I was the first time I heard this amazing song is deeper than this video.

[drinkdrownsoda]

Terrible as expected. This song deserves so much better

[reggietelly]

I love this song. It reminds me of driving in a city in the dead of night with not a soul around. This is so far from that I can’t begin to describe my utter loathing of it.

[DethRusso]

I love this song with all muy soul, but this video ...just no...
