I heard this song last week and I'm sorry to report that I'm now dead, please make sure you cry for me and all other Joy Division fans as well

This is the best rendering of this song I've ever heard. I heard this for the first time on a mix tape from a DJ I respect absolutely. (Luv Gordon) What you've been able to do here is interpret the intention and soul of the song and apply the musicality it warranted in the first place. That's not to say the original was in any way bad. It was honest and an expression of a situation but you've kept the emotional intent of content and enhanced the music. Top stuff.

As an old Manchester "Punk"" none of us were really what would be thought of as punks , the whole scene was more like the 60's San Francisco thing, the Fall, Joy Div, Buzzcocks, Magazine, Nosebleeds J C Clarke experiments in sound and lyrics and this is just takes an amazing song in another direction, I loved Ian Curtis and I'm sure he would have loved this.

I have always liked the Joy Division version of this but I've never cried to this song before today. Simply wonderful version. Thanks.
