Then who was song?

Still trying to make sense of the OP title but hey. Joy Division can’t really be surpassed in this. For post Punk to sound so fragile and just beautiful really. Powerful stuff. Closer as an album is the go to album. Unique.

The most depressing song on a really depressing (and criminally overlooked) album, “Into the Street” by the Twilight Singers. One of the highlights of Greg Dulli’s career.

We are talking depressing and not just sad right?

Easily one of the saddest songs by B&S

:smiley: the music on that video is hilarious/horrendous.

The actual track you’re on about is pure depression though - most of the album is, although there’s that weird juxtaposition between ‘New Year’ with a fairly optimistic chorus “I wanna reach out, and I wanna stay / how can I lose if I refuse to fade” straight into One Easy Ship Away.

Fucking great band - by the time I was getting into me tunes the first I heard by 'em was IOU Love, wouwld’ve loved to have seen them live.

just brilliantly, meatily depressing. (whole album pretty much applies) - the mattress creaks beneath the symphony of misery and cum, still we lie jerking back and forth and blurring in to one.

Just listen to Closer

Every song on that is a cracker

Another one that never gets mentioned, “Unliving” by Hebronix (aka former Yuck singer). Best thing he’s ever done.
