Love will Tear us Apart – Again

[Greg HondaParticipant 6406]

This guy was ahead of his time.

A unique sound and disturbing lyrics in many of their songs. He was maried to a regular “Vanila” wife, had a daughter, and a Belgian journalist as a mistress.

Torn between the women in his life and feeling the pressure of rapidly accelerating success, he took his own life on May 18th 1980. It was on the eve of their planned US Tour. I can’t help but get Goosebumps when I hear this song.

Love will tear us apart:

Atmoshere – Walk away in silence. Fitting for MGTOW philosphy now I hear it again.

Just wanted to share.

Comments welcome.

Well I’m no expert on modern music but I think it was too cerebral for the US bubble-gum pop of the 80s–he was about 15 years ahead of his time.

Control – good 2007 movie about them.

Funny how i was listening to this when tormented by redhead cluster b clusterf~~~.

The choices we make, not the chances we take, determine our destiny

Sounds like She was someone who Lost control – Again

Even if you don’t like their sound, you’ve got to admit this guy’s stage presence is Intense.

His epilepsy was a factor in his suicide as well. The rest of the band went on to form New Order and had success on both sides of the pond.

That song always makes me sad.

I bathe in the tears of single moms.

80s music / early 90s music was the most complex lyrically, in terms of chord structure, and even instrumentally in general. I am increasingly convinced that our society peaked in 1981, and that was our zenith.

I mostly listen to music from the 80s, with some leavening by particularly complex 70s music, 90s music, and a very very few bands today.

Mgtow Sausage Stealthy whatever has inspired me, and I do hope to return to music at some point when I have more time. Music is math, so I hope to do well with it.

Love will tear us apart, fantastic song. I also love New Order, arguably my favorite band from my night club days/ womanizing.

Elric,

Love the comment “Music is Math”. I have been a very decent bass player for decades and I learned because of the link between music and math. I had a seriously tin ear for years and years. I remember one band where the guitar player tuned my bass it was so bad. This was before the days of tuners hit us. Over the years my ear developed and now I amaze myself by constantly topping my best. At almost 60 years old. Yesterday I learned the melody to one of my faves, “The Atchison, Topeka and The Sante Fe”, on my piano and took it rapidly through my cycle of Cello, Guitar, and Bass. I have the duet version by Harry Connick Jr. and Ray Brown on bass. Ray is the daddy of bass if you ask me. That tone, OMG. When I can even poorly fake my way through the piano part, not just the melody, I will let you all know. Ha. Rays’ parts, c’mon, life just is only so long……. No seriously, that is what inspires me and what I aspire to. There is an excellent show that bass players might enjoy with Ray, Edgar Meyer and Victor Wooton. I think it’s called “Three basses” or something. They all play individually, in duet and together. A show stopper is included with Ray and Victor both playing one Upright bass. Be well brothers.
