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
See my true reflection,
Cut off my own connections,
I can see life getting harder,
So sad is this sensation,
Reverse the situation,
I cant see it getting better.
Ill walk you through the heartbreak,
Show you all the out takes,
I cant see it getting higher,
Systematically degraded,
Emotionally a scapegoat,
I cant see it getting better.
Perverse and unrealistic,
Try to make it all sick,
I cant see it getting better,
Hollow now, Im burned out,
All I need to break out,
I cant see life getting higher,
Love, life, makes you feel higher,
Love, of life, makes you feel higher,
Higher, higher, higher, higher,
Higher, higher, higher, higher,
Love of life, makes you feel higher.
