I love Melanie Pain's voice and eyes. As Goethe said: all is permitted that pleases A song is never written to be carved in stone. I cant understand why so many hate this song because its not sung by Joy Division.
I just love when somebody makes a wonderful cover and makes it look like a total different song. That express a lot of creativity and talent as musicians
that should be the point of a cover song... make it your own. what would be the point of doing it exactly the same? none... it would be like painting someone elses painting...
@Cynnx7 i am a Joy Division fanboy and think they were the greatest band of all time. This cover is absolutely beautiful and i just can't relate to all these haters here. It's scary to see how intolerant some people are.
A cover version of the song is rarely 'better' than the original - but no song should be put on a pedestal. This version shows a different way of thinking about and hearing the song, and I think that that's excellent.
OMG! How dare u say that!MUSIC is a form of expression! diffrent bands express songs differently, and when they cover a song, its because they are really impressed by that song and its creator and want to express it in their own light! Ian Curtis would be happy to see ppl like this covering he's work! leonard cohen for example has had Hallelujah covered by more bands and solo artists than u can count, each one brilliant!
This videos comments are all about people wanting to hear a tribute to their favorite artist in the exact same way their favorite artist did it. All else is crap.
@@zee339 He probably hates Serge Gainsbourg and Leonard Cohen, too. I'm definitely saying he, because I've never met a woman who didn't get turned on when I played NV.
I think that this is a brave attempt to perform a 'holy grail' type song. I have heard other versions performed by David Gahan and The Cure. Those versions almost verge on boring as they are trying to capture the 'Joy Division' sound and don't really shed any new light on this song. So thumbs up for Nouvelle Vague!
Once Ian Curtis said "The meaning of our song is not important. It depends on the person listening our song. Sometimes meaningless,but it has become to have mean. That is just like monkey typing letter. Later it will has mean." I think so many dislikes are not enemy. Probably, difference or matter of opinion. I vote for likes.
you don't even know what you're talking about ... This is only crap ! She sing just as she didn't understand what the words mean... Nouvelle Vague don't cover songs , they empty them of their content, to make them look like small and insignificant sweet ballads sung by pretty girls.. saddening !!!!
Nouvelle Vague are known about unusual interpretations of songs. The source of their songs are all covers of punk rock, post-punk, and New Wave songs, and are rearranged to '60s bossa nova-style. They have many different singers and they leave them to decide how the song will sound. And in my opinion Melanie Pain is one of most sensual voices that sang with them. All Joy division fans: its normal that you like original more. You have to listen to more sons of NV to appreciate their work.
music is life. period. every moment in your life has a song that will emote this is one moment in your life I dont care who you are....everyones been...right....here.
Seriously?! Why can't these people understand the raw emotion that Ian Curtis was PERSONALLY conveying through this song? It is totally lost here...it's a slap in the face and a kick in the eye!
Even though it looks like they're in someone's back yard I think an outdoor setting is perfect for Nouvelle Vague no matter whose backyard they are in! While the original song could make one wanna drown themselves guzzling coldbeer in self destructive depression, this one makes you wannna sip martinis and not mind the paint thinner taste. Nouvelle Vague Forever!!!!
i dislike when people write bad comments about this cover. it's a COVER! it's not suppose to be like the original. hello???? people just don't get it. I LOVE this version better than the original. most covers are 1000 times better than their originals. go nouvelle vague!!!! you rock!!!! ;)
Nouvelle Vague is so great because they have a very mellow European sound but they mix in the American and British pop songs; thus producing a delightful hybrid between whimsical listening and Pop. That's why they hooked me.
Anyone hung up over bands who do covers when its a band like this who are all about really good fun live perfomances needs to unwind and drop the EMO rage. Dont worry no one can touch the first Joy devision version but Im pritty sure they rock live + have given loads of people a really good night out. + damn sexy voice, great version glad its not just regurgitated either.
What some people tend to forget is that people of all walks of life ( including Nouvelle Vague....why else would they cover it?) genuinely love this song with all their hearts and that they interpret in their own ways. This is in every way as authentic as the original, no jokes.
From an American mate: Got to agree with you on this one bro. You're right -- so many musicians (especially when doing re-makes) miss the point that the music has to be felt, not just sung well. Otherwise we'd all just love great voices. It's about the art. It's not about feigning to be rock stars and looking pensive while singing.
I thought this would get a lot more negative comments, since it's such a classic, timeless song they're covering. Anyway, I'm glad I'm not the only one that really likes this. Not as good as the original, obviously, but the fact that it's a very different style means that it stands up in comparison.
wooow...i really really like the way the song was performed - even though it is watched just over a monitor they still give their spirit of the song through...magnificent
I think it shows the strength of "Love Will Tear Us Apart" as a song that it works as a Bossa nova. My view is that Nouvelle Vague's covers are hit and miss the difference being mainly whether or not the song can survive away from it's original setting.
To all the idiots out there blindly insulting this with poorly spelled swearwords: Nouvelle Vague are NOT trying to replicate the original. Nouvelle Vague is French for "New Wave", which in the case of this band is a reference to both Punk New Wave music, and the soundtrack to films from the New Wave movement in the 60s. Nobody's saying you have to like it, but at least appreciate the angle they're coming from. For the record, I am a HUGE Joy Division fan and I also love this.
Only sensitive and emotional people can understand...nobody is like joy division....but a great song may to be sing in every different way, and stay a great song...nouvelle vague catch the sweet essence , the loneliness, the love , that this song contains....it's one of the many ways to perform this great song...and i like it !!!!!
I usually agree with the 'acoustic, slow breathy vocals' comment, but I really do think that this works. In my opinion it does so because it is sung from a female perspective as opposed to Curtis' male one. True, a very different take with a bossa nova-like rhythm, but very beautiful and well-executed. Nothing will top the original though, of course.
This is out elevator music and I think it's lovely to be shopping in Old Navy. Apparently their corporate psychologists know that I am happy to hear this familiar song. If they played the original I would get excited away from the racks, but this lets me hum along as I feel good and browse.
Lol dude!! We all love JD but you really should open your mind!!! Music has no boundaries when we speak of true artists. This cover is like they reinvent the song from the beginning. Nouvelle Vague are real musicians.
I love Melanie Pain's voice and eyes.

I love the sound effect of water flowing. It adds such a great naturalism to it.
A cover version of the song is rarely 'better' than the original - but no song should be put on a pedestal. This version shows a different way of thinking about and hearing the song, and I think that that's excellent.
best cover i've heard of this song.kudos and thats from a big joy division fan.
I love Joy Division (I come from Ian Curtis's home town) but nice to hear such a different interpretation.
Still loving this in 2024!
this is way better than the album's version, especially because Melanie's finally singing in English and non in Frenglish :P
Que bela versão...já me valeu o dia.
In 2006 Nouvelle vague actually brought me to the post punk/new wave era. I will always love them for that

@@gaspardnicolasperrier934 your opinion smells
Amazing cover, well done Melanie!
Never-mind the semantics! I am glad that someone is helping the song alive.....ergo the J.D. legacy flowers on.
I like this song, Its like a feast for my soul. Her voice is so amazing.
i find this music really beautiful and simple
routine bites hard on 1056 haters
Only 1056 intelligent people .. How sad ! :) this is crap .
soalr this is good music. get some taste.
@@zee339 He probably hates Serge Gainsbourg and Leonard Cohen, too. I'm definitely saying he, because I've never met a woman who didn't get turned on when I played NV.
I can't really understand why someone would dislike this...
Очаровательный вокал...трогательная подача ..цепляет...два раза был на их концерте
if you dont understand different music approach you should skip this
I think that this is a brave attempt to perform a 'holy grail' type song. I have heard other versions performed by David Gahan and The Cure. Those versions almost verge on boring as they are trying to capture the 'Joy Division' sound and don't really shed any new light on this song. So thumbs up for Nouvelle Vague!
Well articulated, old man. This display is nothing short of sacrilege.
This is my favorite cover of this song that I've heard.
Why so much dislikes ????
Because it is a horrible cover.
Once Ian Curtis said "The meaning of our song is not important. It depends on the person listening our song. Sometimes meaningless,but it has become to have mean. That is just like monkey typing letter. Later it will has mean." I think so many dislikes are not enemy. Probably, difference or matter of opinion. I vote for likes.
Oussama Mabrouki perfection is perfect
+Oussama Mabrouki because this shitty attempt to cover Joy Division really sucks.
I grew up loving joy division and then new order. This is beautiful.
The studio version is better than the original. This is way way better than the original!
Great version - but the original is still fucking amazing ....it' the song that matters not really who is delivering it imho
you don't even know what you're talking about ... This is only crap ! She sing just as she didn't understand what the words mean... Nouvelle Vague don't cover songs , they empty them of their content, to make them look like small and insignificant sweet ballads sung by pretty girls.. saddening !!!!
Such a long time since i heard it first and it still gives me shivers... incredible...
A true cover this is, a cover is reinventing a song in my opinion, and this works.
Another reason to hate hipsters
Hipsters can't even change their own oil or wipe themselves - let alone make music. Puh-leeeeeez.
this is just wrong in so many ways...

Seriously?! Why can't these people understand the raw emotion that Ian Curtis was PERSONALLY conveying through this song? It is totally lost here...it's a slap in the face and a kick in the eye!
i really wish people really should just leave this song alone and let it exist in its own perfection.
Even though it looks like they're in someone's back yard I think an outdoor setting is perfect for Nouvelle Vague no matter whose backyard they are in! While the original song could make one wanna drown themselves guzzling coldbeer in self destructive depression, this one makes you wannna sip martinis and not mind the paint thinner taste.

Her voice makes my soul happy.
Is it the words, or the emotion? Is it both, when your mood changes... I love this band...
i can't believe people are bashing this video, i think its beautiful.
I couldn't have said it better. There is no emotion in her voice and that is one of the things that Ian had in this song.
whoever didnt like this has something wrong with them and dont have a taste for true pure music
Nouvelle Vague is so great because they have a very mellow European sound but they mix in the American and British pop songs; thus producing a delightful hybrid between whimsical listening and Pop. That's why they hooked me.
one of the better covers of this song i've heard.
Anyone hung up over bands who do covers when its a band like this who are all about really good fun live perfomances needs to unwind and drop the EMO rage. Dont worry no one can touch the first Joy devision version but Im pritty sure they rock live + have given loads of people a really good night out. + damn sexy voice, great version glad its not just regurgitated either.
They hit with this song.
I heard once and I found myself humming. Now, now I'm listening... again.
I know Ian wrote this as a semi-autobiographical piece but this is the best cover I've heard n a very long time.
What some people tend to forget is that people of all walks of life ( including Nouvelle Vague....why else would they cover it?) genuinely love this song with all their hearts and that they interpret in their own ways. This is in every way as authentic as the original, no jokes.

Otherwise we'd all just love great voices. It's about the art. It's not about feigning to be rock stars and looking pensive while singing.
My hearing her/them doing this song is what lured me to buy the CD. I think it's very well done.
Best cover band ever hands down!!!
"Each singer only performed songs they were not previously familiar with, to ensure that each cover would have an individual interpretation."
Excelente cover!
this puts an entirely new perspective on this song. I deeply enjoyed it.
It was the best song on monday .. by far..
Godddddddd
Fabulous cover version.
There is no bigger Joy Division fan than me !!
Thanks Nouvelle Vague for this wonderfull cover!!
"Nouvelle Vague" is now one of our favorite pandora stations. Try it!
Simply gorgeous!
Amazing beauty.
just beautiful. i never knew the singer was so pretty
This is my favourite cover version of a song.
i really like this bossa nova feel in the beginning. thats a pretty cool take on the song.
I don't think even this band , could ruin a perfect song like this !
I thought this would get a lot more negative comments, since it's such a classic, timeless song they're covering.
Anyway, I'm glad I'm not the only one that really likes this. Not as good as the original, obviously, but the fact that it's a very different style means that it stands up in comparison.
this is just GREAT i prefer the original version but this is so sweet.... shes the sweetest.
cheeers thnx for sharing
wooow...i really really like the way the song was performed - even though it is watched just over a monitor they still give their spirit of the song through...magnificent
this is the first time i heard this song....i love this song instantly....more power...and shes beautiful too..music is relaxing
These ladies are worth !!!! Love them and love this cover. And im an inconditional JD fan.
one of the best live acts,thank you
I think it's great. Lovely voice and sound. nice take on the original. Beautiful.
Yes they did - it was brilliant

SIMPLY GREAT - LOVE this song!!!
she is great! Love the song! She is amazing!

Beautiful!
I love Nouvelle Vague covers !!!!
why the people hate covers ¿?
LOVE IT. OUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUI, encore !
Their voices sound exactly how them wanted. I can't stop listen this tune.
just amazing the ways the music can move j aime
her voice is so beautiful!
Very good live. I am impressed.

plainly beautiful
I just learned about Nouvelle Vague and I am really digging their style! Great covers! I am looking for a Bossa version of Killing Moon.
i love her voice
lovely ♥
Love this!!!!
Such a smooth-soft voice
This is out elevator music and I think it's lovely to be shopping in Old Navy. Apparently their corporate psychologists know that I am happy to hear this familiar song. If they played the original I would get excited away from the racks, but this lets me hum along as I feel good and browse.
certainly a unique outlook on the second best song of all time
I love it.
love it..
the other girl singing at the end is the best part of an awesome tribute to joy division
Fantastic!
Lol dude!! We all love JD but you really should open your mind!!! Music has no boundaries when we speak of true artists. This cover is like they reinvent the song from the beginning.
Nouvelle Vague are real musicians.
I LOVE BOTH VERSIONS, i think theres big feel and emotions too
they're amazing.
