What do you think the darkest (most depressing and / or soul aching song) JD song is?

I'd go for 'Passover' (then The Eternal, then Candidate).

21 Oct 2005, 02:50

Pretty much all of Closer for mine, 'Decades' can bring on the waterworks if the mood is right :cry:

21 Oct 2005, 03:04

24 Hours just shades it over Passover for bleakness, with New Dawn Fades just behind. Look at the setlist of the last ever JD gig!

21 Oct 2005, 03:07

The Eternal. Heavy Stuff.

21 Oct 2005, 03:12

Got to be The Eternal.

21 Oct 2005, 05:29

The Eternal by far

21 Oct 2005, 06:01

Without a doubt, The Eternal

21 Oct 2005, 06:39

The Eternal is my close second, then Candidate...

Damn! Should have suggested your top threes...

Reboot! - Done.

:banghead:

in a lonely place, in a lonely place, and, in a lonely place.

21 Oct 2005, 07:19

I'm going with "The Sound of Music." Angst dudes. Angst.

21 Oct 2005, 10:20

last 3 on Closer, plus IALP

New Dawn Fades Twenty Four Hours She's Lost Control These are my fave darkest JD moments, but then, there were so many. :cry:

21 Oct 2005, 17:41

She's Lost Control Atmosphere (I wanna tell Ian that I feel for him man!) The Eternal

I find The Eternal to be a great chill out track!

Its whole feel is like, whats the point of all this rushing around,worrying,busy busy busy?it doesn`t mean shit!.James Dean Bradfield was talking once about how he was travelling at speed in a car in Japan and The Eternal came on the radio and everything outside the window(the frantic world rushing around) just turned to slow motion and became meaningless and silly.

The darkest line i often seem to come back to is from 24 Hours - "Looked beyond the day in hand/There`s nothing there at all"

21 Oct 2005, 19:51

definitely all of closer

but if i had to choose...

heart & soul 24 hours atrocity exhibition

22 Oct 2005, 07:47

Day Of The Lords, The Eternal & New Dawn Fades.

IALP would have topped all of the above had it been professionally recorded. Not everyone on here will have the H&S boxset so they wouldnae have heard the haunting rehearsal version that was taped over (I have to put in allegedly here)

23 Oct 2005, 08:02

Twenty Four Hours In A Lonely Place Decades

23 Oct 2005, 08:08

Atmosphere Disorder Decades.

Honourable mentions: Isolation, From Safety to Where and Ceremony (H&S boxset)

[white] :nonono: :banghead: [/white]**NONE!**EveryJoy Division song is sublimely poetic and spiritually uplifting. I grant you they may well, and often do, contain gallows houmor, but NONE, not one! Is "dark &/or depressing. "World In Motion" however would drive any sane person to distraction!

Insight The Eternal Candidate

15 Apr 2006, 00:04

24 Hours Dead Souls In a Lonely Place

15 Apr 2006, 03:56

Insight for me is their darkest moment... Lyrically and musically with the 'space invader' bit, more estranged and bleaker than The Eternal, the stateliness of TE saves it from being completely bleak... What about their most positive moment? Transmission, perhaps?

Decades In A Lonely Place 24 Hours

'brightest' JD songs (mostly due to the guitar or keyboard, not the lyrics!):

LWTUA Atmosphere Transmission tied with Disorder
