I've found that it's always the songs I enjoy at first but don't really *GET* initially that I end up dwelling on the longest. Like this one-it doesn't have the explosiveness of say Disorder, Shadowplay or Wilderness-but with time the minimalism grows on you and the lyrics sink in-and evoke an empathy profound yet inexplicable. You get a strong sense of what Ian is singing about-but the subject of what he is singing about will vary from listener to listener. It is amazing lyricism, but one open to interpretation-which is exactly what makes Ian a GREAT poet. It is somewhat disappointing that people will use the same label for people who didn't invest anything into their lyricism just because they like the melodies so much (cough Cobain cough).

@VeroniqueAtroce: I would disagree. The Eternal is Joy Division's most depressing song.

I'm just a nut gathering squirrel. I listened to this song and then considered what I had listened to. I concluded how lucky I am to be a squirrel, to never have to worry about my fellow squirrels disappointing me, to accept something as terrible as you people do everyday.

I don't know if Ian actually could sing on pitch very well, but his vocals were all about emotive impact anyway, so it didn't actually matter. Anyway, I was just watching the movie "Control" and the part where the band plays this right after a key tense moment between Ian and Debbie (one of many, but especially key) is really impactful (although I hate that word).

@megajosh2: That's on purpose, Ian Curtis often intentionally tried to create tension in his music by singing out of tune
