By the end, that was actually stunning. That captured something wonderful in Bernie's voice, and the 12 string worked surprisingly well. One of the best "covers" I've heard of this song!
Ian, I can still hear your plaintive vocal no matter who sings your words or in what musical context they are sung. They always make me emotional. RIP Ian Curtis. I pray you are at peace.
i love know it alls thinking that bernard can't have any emotion on a song he didn't write when that song was one of his suicidal friends cries for help, yeah i think he probably has quite a lot of emotion for it
Should be the usual that you can find on sites like Ultimate Guitar, except with a capo on the second fret (likely so Bernard can sing a key more suited for himself).

@BlitzoftheReich yes, just because Ian Curtis sings in such a deep voice doesn't mean everyone who covers Joy Division songs must attempt to sing it really low, people sing in there own voices.
shinnymatz yes, he is not only has more depth to his voice but his baritone is also closer to that of Ian’s. But Barney is an excellent guitarist and managed to become a good vocalist over the years he’s fronted New Order (given that he sounded really shitty at first )
Always struggle with anyone aside from Ian's voice on this song. It's not like Barney or anyone else had ANY input at all on the lyric. Man, they didn't even know the full lyric until Ian died. So trying to put it across with any kind of emotion is really pointless. However, to be fair, nothing can every compare to that tw@t Paul Young's comical cover of this song, so someone from Ian's band having a go, ok, why not?.

I just love this full sound that the accompanying guitars bring to this.

Bloody love Bernard Sumner...awesome!
Barney you are such a beautiful human being..
Loads of love to you xx
Such a cool sound in acoustic. Totally different but in a cool way
Thanks. First time I've heard this version. Really cool. I sang along.
Ian, I can still hear your plaintive vocal no matter who sings your words or in what musical context they are sung. They always make me emotional. RIP Ian Curtis. I pray you are at peace.

Best song ever written!!!
AMAZING!!!!!!!!!! BERNARD IS THE BEST!
Bernard ❤❤❤
ABSOLUTE QUALITY THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THESE POSTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Linda! Grande fã do Brasil desde os anos 80! Joy Division e New Order. Obrigado, Bernard.
9 condenser mic's all open at once...no wonder it sounds so lush... excellent !
if you want to play along with Bernard tune your acoustic to DADGAD (open D) capo 2nd fret same tuning as the Ian video
I ador this band.. I hope they'll come soon in italy.
Veramente bravissimi, soprattutto dal vivo in versione acustica!
Great Stuff Bernard , !!!
Excelent version!

Wonderful!
Awesome campfire song. I'm sure you all know this one, please feel free to sing along.
It is in my family.
It makes me cry.
@Fnchy Love love it...thank you so much. I know many of Curtis fans will kill me...but I love Sumner's voice. His voice is just so soothing~~~
Brilliant Version ❤
this is such an awesome cover :)
It's not a cover if one of the credited writers of the song (Bernard here) is performing it.
i lv this
VERY NICE!!
i love know it alls thinking that bernard can't have any emotion on a song he didn't write when that song was one of his suicidal friends cries for help, yeah i think he probably has quite a lot of emotion for it
wonderfull:3
Beaitiful Big likes 👍🎸🎵
his voice
God Bless Barney xxxx
Is there somewhere one can buy these? I would really like to give the money to the artist rather than rip from youtube?
@Randy White If there's no other options, youtube ripping is not stealing.
Any tabs for this version? Wonderful!
Should be the usual that you can find on sites like Ultimate Guitar, except with a capo on the second fret (likely so Bernard can sing a key more suited for himself).
❤
Hi incredible posting thanks sharing this!!!
Where can I get it from?
I LOVE IT!
Show de bola!!!!
Genius band.
@BlitzoftheReich not all people can sing in a lower octave, when i sing and play this song i sing it in the higher octave aswell. still sounds good!

Where did this show happen? Are they available on MP3? So good- thanks for posting.
same voice of 1980.
@BlitzoftheReich yes, just because Ian Curtis sings in such a deep voice doesn't mean everyone who covers Joy Division songs must attempt to sing it really low, people sing in there own voices.
i'm still getting used to seeing barney in collar shirt and jacket... usually it's just jeans, t-shirt and sneakers.
MrAntennaBall well back in the Joy Division days he was always wearing a tie and a white shirt
love barney‘s shorts collection
i heard new order going to be inducted in the rock n roll hall of fame
Who the fuck cares what key they play in as long as it sounds good!
@lamfrocks do they need to be speaking to each other for that to happen?
How did it come to this?
@BlitzoftheReich could you not have just used your head and realised he has a capo on the 2nd fret then?
Can anyone tell me the name of this set?
Barney...take your coat off, otherwise you wont feel t'benefit x
except on the Ian C video you wont need a capo .... glad thats sorted
Joy Division
difficult to hate this...................but, very little to like.......................................
This comment is
Just
Too accurate
I know it been a full year but u deserve to know how right you are
Are you braindead?
the paul young version is by way the best. this one is like a campfire version.
Chris packham can sing?
Escuchen niños y aprendan.
No no no...
think dave gahan did a better job with this song
shinnymatz yes, he is not only has more depth to his voice but his baritone is also closer to that of Ian’s. But Barney is an excellent guitarist and managed to become a good vocalist over the years he’s fronted New Order (given that he sounded really shitty at first )
Bernard would probably agree
Always struggle with anyone aside from Ian's voice on this song. It's not like Barney or anyone else had ANY input at all on the lyric. Man, they didn't even know the full lyric until Ian died. So trying to put it across with any kind of emotion is really pointless. However, to be fair, nothing can every compare to that tw@t Paul Young's comical cover of this song, so someone from Ian's band having a go, ok, why not?.
No
Peter Hook covers this so much better.
Amen
Bored without the bass
Bernard : Why ? what have we done to deserve this ? have we been so wicked ? if so , sorry . but don t do that again ,ok ?
Always thought this song is overrated
This is dreadful sorry but Barney cannot sing! RIP the true genius.
Another one ruined, Bernard/Bonehead.
