But it's the energy that comes from Ian's voice and presence that makes it a more chilling and different experience. The other three members also going through their routine, with Morris killing himself behind the drums and the others are all cool and calm. Barely opening his eyes, always looking down, totally concentrated in the words he was singing, playing his strangely shaped guitar from time to time. Band performing their classic hit inside this small room with a door filled with marked signs and names (being Ian C the most noticeable) saturated colors and at times some strange effects as part of its photography Hook, Morris, Curtis and Sumner each playing their part but our attention always goes to Curtis not just because it's a rare image of him (and a colorful one since most of his images are practically all monochromatic, always beautifully captured by Anton Corbijn) but it's his performance that feels unlike anyone has ever done before. It was just a band's performance but somehow there was something gripping there, quite remarkable and since then I never forgotten. If it wasn't for this clip, it'd take a long time for me to finally discover the band - I discovered then due to a MTV commercial on the lines the 'evolution of species' which always presented four similar themed groups through the years, and in that promo Joy Division was included along with other "depressing themes/melodies" groups. It's the group's only video clip with all members possibly one of their few video register besides BBC performances and there's the great Ian Curtis (1956-1980), with his unique, unusual somber presence, potent baritone voice (though in this song he sounds quite restrained, more appealing to some, unlike other of Joy Division songs), and the video was shot a few months before his death.

A message to a friend about to commit suicide. Lead singer Ian Curtis wrote this a few months before committing suicide because his relationship with his wife was in shambles, and due to his crippling epilepsy, touring became difficult and his seizures were so frequent he couldn’t hold his own daughter. Written by Robert Plant after his son died while he was on tour, he didn’t get to say goodbye to his 5 year old. Very sad, incredible songwriting.Īll My Love - Led Zeppelin.
