For the last few days ive been reminiscing... and realising how when we are younger we kinda think we are invincible.
Twenty eight years ago i went to see "Joy Division" at the Winter Gardens in Malvern and they were absolutely amazing. This was in the April, in the May the lead singer, Ian Curtis, committed suicide. At the time i was heavily involved with a local band,my boyfriend came into Boots (where i was on my final day of working) and said that Ian had killed himself. We all went out that night and sat around, talking, smoking, drinking and generally grieving.
Ive just watched the Joy Division documentary DVD, watched "Control" and im now playing "Unknown Pleasures" and feeling really melancholy. If he was alive today, he would be just a bit older than I am and god know what would have happened to him..
Just wish he would have thought that tomorrow was another day and to kill himself wasnt the way out.
Dont know what the point is of this thread to be honest, i just wanted to share... was anyone else a fan??

Mem'ries,
Light the corners of my mind
Misty water-colored memories
Of the way we were
Scattered pictures,
Of the smiles we left behind
Smiles we gave to one another
For the way we were
Can it be that it was all so simple then?
Or has time re-written every line?
If we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me, would we? Could we?
Mem'ries, may be beautiful and yet
What's too painful to remember
We simply choose to forget
So it's the laughter
We will remember
Whenever we remember...
The way we were...
the way we were...
I've heard of them although I'm not a fan. It's always sad though when someone feels desperate enough to take their own life - a tragic loss sad
