REMEMBER IAN CURTIS
« on: May 13, 2009, 02:35:40 PM »
The anniversary of his suicide is coming up on the 18th May.  Here is my tribute (yes, I know it's too early - piss off) to a one talented man.

A few unseen lyrics of his:

"Some things never make sense, crouches shivering in the corner, blanket 'round your shoulder, hot then cold, cold then warm, pulse is racing, slowly racing - stopped. I remember nights listening to untill dawn, I remember nothing. Some things never make sense, a fear of stepping out"

"He desires love, in some special way against all perversion, fed with fruits of decay. He remembers, how the guilty have seen, all the pure but selfish, buried deep in his dreams."

"Nothing seems real anymore. Even the flames from the fire seem to beckon to me, drawing me into some great past life buried somewhere deep in my subconscious, if only I could find the key..if only..if only. Ever since my illness, my condition, I've been trying to find some logical way of passing my time, of justifying a means to an end."

"We won't crawl and never show our faces, we'll stand firm and never show the traces, of the fear we knew but always could disguise, of this sinking feeling hid behind our eyes."

"I can feel an emptiness and see heads held in shame, trapped inside a legacy of everyone to blame. In the distance see myself just washed up on the shore, a picture in my mind of what will come before the storm."

One of the first albums I ever bought with my own $ was STILL.  (That same day, I bought 17 SECONDS and FAITH for the price of 1. For real.)
Ian Curtis was one of those voices that kept me from jumping into the Abyss, the other ATT being Jim Morrison.  If I had to distill his lyrics into a simple, telegraphic statement, it would be this: You are not alone.
That's all I can really say right now, except RIP Ian.

I didn't like the film Control.  They shouldn't have let the actor sing, couldn't he just lip-synch like Marion Cotillard did in La Vie en Rose?  Watch Joy Division, the actual documentary.  It is much much better.


Rest in peace Ian :pinkbeat:

Crazy, I'm halfway to crazy
Suicide would waste me
Homicide would break me
Tongue tied and tied to the tongue
Tongue tied and tied to the tongue
Oh, is life as bad as dreams
I guess that's just the way it seems
