Paul Young's cover of 'LOVE WILL TEAR US APART'.

Jesus Christ.

i don't think it's a bad song just because it was a GREAT SONG before P.Young did this cover in 83! However I remember my mates when i brought them the record in our rehearsal place! I put the vinyl on the record player and said:" chut!listen! do u know what's this?" an everyone started laughing (laughing ain't a bad thing:) ... Hooky sai about P.Young (i think it was in 86, on French tv):"he can't do B.M too, that's fine for me"- i guess he was a liitle bit ironic well, no, just cool, really! he was cool And i LOOOOVVEEE PAULLLL YYYYOUNNNG cover (eh, heu, qu'est-ce qu'il devient celui-là ?)

It was the first time I ever heard this song so I thought it was ok but kind of boring and drony. At that time I didnt know who Joy Division was, it was 1983. I only heard about Joy Division in 1985 when I got into New Order. So hearing Paul Young's version and thinking he wrote the song at the time, which is embarrassing to admit, I thought the song was pretty average. And boring. Then I heard Joy Division's version later and realized how much Paul Young's version sucked and lacked soul for such a passionate song and when I listen to it now its even worse - just horrible.

Ha! That's funny. Similar situation meself. Was 15 back in '83 (only 18 now) and thought it was great. Then heard Blue Monday and heard about JD and thought what a total f**k that Young was.
