The DARKEST 3 JD Songs?

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).

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

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!

The Eternal. Heavy Stuff.

Got to be The Eternal.

The Eternal by far

Without a doubt, The Eternal

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

Damn! Should have suggested your top threes...

Reboot! - Done.

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

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

last 3 on Closer, plus IALP

I remember nothing

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

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

1. the eternal
2. decades
3. in a lonely place

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"

definitely all of closer

but if i had to choose...

heart & soul 24 hours atrocity exhibition

Twenty Four Hours In A Lonely Place Decades

Atmosphere Disorder Decades.

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

[white] [/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!

24 Hours The Sound of Music Exercise One

Eternal Decades Atrocity Exhibition

Insight The Eternal Candidate

24 Hours Dead Souls In a Lonely Place

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?

The Eternal Komakino 24 Hours

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

Schring.

I'd say the most up-tempo JD songs are Disorder, Glass, Isolation, maybe Interzone as well

Crap, I totally forgot about Interbone.

Exercise One is definitely one of the bleakest. It isn't as strong as their better-known work, and lacks the emotional power of a song like Twenty Four Hours, but it's haunting in its own way.

Great opener to Still, anyhow, even if it's always reminded me of a lesser cousin of The Sound Of Music.

darkest for me:

In a lonely place Candidate I remember nothing
