This is one of the best contemporary covers of a great song by Joy Division. The lyrics are open to numerous interpretations, but the great thing is that it all comes together in the end. I find it both interesting and ironic that this is Joy Division’s most famous song. It does not do the band justice, because all of their songs deserve such attention.
I usually stay away from cover songs, because most of the time they sound pretentious and out of place (most recently, Fall Out Boy’s “Beat it”). It is very hard for an artist to add his interpretation to the song, while still maintaining its original meaning. Enjoy!
