The story I heard on the CBC the other day said that this song was written in direct response to Captain and Tennille's bouncy yet insipid hit. Wow! I had not heard that - pretty cool! I like BOTH songs, so I'm not sure what that says about me... [ Reply ]

The lyrics stand for themselves, The echoing synth...emotive... The Peter Hook bass..unmistakable and inimitable My favourite Joy Division song, even if perhaps my favourite song of the 10s of thousands of songs I have liked over the intervening 30+ years of continuous intense music listening. Only new dawn fades comes close to beating this one. There's a real mix of synth, goth and low-tech/garage band in this song. The echoed distortion to the vocals really help, as does the story about the singer's suicide. I also love the straight up-and-down drumming. A 10 forever. [ Reply ]

"Love Will Keep Us Together" is a popular song written by Neil Sedaka and Howard Greenfield best known due to their 1975, #1-hitting cover by Captain & Tennille... I remember when that song was number one in 1975, and all of my friends used to jeer at it and make jokes... we all thought it was babble-headed pop blather... this song by Joy Division is really cool... did not know that connection, but it makes the Joy Division song even better... thanks for posting that info!

johndawkins Jan 29, 2013 - 02:29	Maybe it is my attachment to the late 70's fight against inane pop and disco (the war still rages) makes this song refreshing despite the darkness. This was the post-suicide poster song for a truly groundbreaking band. The two songs that I find much better from Joy Division are "Wilderness" and "New Dawn Fades". For those who hate Joy Division's darkness, I would say that everything is not smiley-faced and bubblegum and the beauty in life can be contrasted with the darkness and that beauty can be celebrated and appreciated even more for me with the stark contrast of darkness in the neighboring shadows. For people who enjoyed this song, try out the tribal drums with an austere lead guitar in "Atrocity Exhibition", the lightness of "Heart and Soul" and give a listen to "Decades" - it is a great song but similar to New Dawn Fades (not nearly as good). I would love to hear more Joy Division and early New Order on RP. [ Reply ]

And resentment rides high, But emotions won't grow. And we're changing our ways, Taking different roads. Love, love will tear us apart again. Love, love will tear us apart again. Why is the bedroom so cold? Turned away on your side. Is my timing that flawed? Our respect run so dry? Yet there's still this appeal, That we've kept through our lives. Love, love will tear us apart again. Love, love will tear us apart again. Do you cry out in your sleep? All my failings exposed... Gets a taste in my mouth As desperation takes hold. Why is it something so good Just can't function no more? Love, love will tear us apart again. Love, love will tear us apart again. Love, love will tear us apart again. Love, love will tear up apart again [ Reply ]
