30 Days of Covers: Love Will Tear Us Apart
Written by Tiffiny // February 9, 2012 // Features, Tracks // No comments
05 I generally enjoy covers that are unexpected; covers that sound nothing like the original. This is not any of those things, but as I was setting out to make a list of covers to post, this kept coming to mind. I suppose it’s a bit of a guilty pleasure: The Cure covering Joy Division. Two of the dreary, British bands I lived on in high school. “Love Will Tear Us Apart” is probably one of my top ten favorite songs of all time. I can’t imagine not hearing it and feeling a twinge of incredible sadness with the words:
do you cry out in your sleep / all my failings exposed…
I don’t feel like this song needs a lot of introduction. I’m hoping that you know it and are familiar with both of these bands. Let’s listen and remember.
