Unknown Pleasures – Joy Division

I haven’t listened to this album for years. It caught me completely off guard and I had to sit down for a while, because I had forgotten what I associate it with. There’s a verse in Day of the Lords that goes:

“This is the car at the edge of the road,
There’s nothing disturbed, all the windows are closed,
I guess you were right, when we talked in the heat,
There’s no room for the weak, no room for the weak”


It reminds me of my friend Ian who died from carbon monoxide poisoning, as part of a suicide pact.
