Joy Division was a post-punkband formed in 1976 in Salford, Greater Manchester. The band dissolved in May 1980 after the suicide of its lead singer, Ian Curtis. The remaining members reformed as New Orderand they have gone on to achieve much critical and commercial success. With their dark, cavernous sound and their use of synthesizers and electronics, Joy Division are considered the pioneering band of the post-punk movement of the late 1970s and the early 1980s. Though they found only modest success during their career, and released only two studio albums, Joy Division have since been acclaimed as one of the most inventive, evocative and influential groups of their era; Thom Jurek writes "They left just a small bit of music and an echo that still rings".

Joy Division
Guess you dreams always end.
They dont rise up, just descend,
But I dont care anymore,
Ive lost the will to want more,
Im not afraid not at all,
I watch them all as they fall,
But I remember when we were young.
Those with habits of waste,
Their sense of style and good taste,
Of making sure you were right,
Hey dont you know you were right?
Im not afraid anymore,
I keep my eyes on the door,
But I remember....
Tears of sadness for you,
More upheaval for you,
Reflects a moment in time,
A special moment in time,
Yeah we wasted our time,
We didnt really have time,
But we remember when we were young.
And all gods angels beware,
And all you judges beware,
Sons of chance, take good care,
For all the people not there,
Im not afraid anymore,
Im not afraid anymore,
Im not afraid anymore,
Oh, Im not afraid anymore.
