I traveled far and wide through many different times
What did you see there?
I saw the saints with their toys
What did you see there?
I saw all knowledge destroyed
I traveled far and wide through many different times
I mentioned on Friday that I'd been in a deep dive with Joy Division - I just read Peter Hook (the bassist)'s memoir about those years of his career. (Unknown Pleasures: Inside Joy Division, highly recommend.) I grew up honestly never listening to JD, besides "Love Will Tear Us Apart" and "Ceremony" - if you count that one. Big New Order fan but I was so young, and without internet, I didn't understand their punk roots, or take the time to look at what changed them... Well, fixed that! So, in honor of Hooky's great book, I picked not only a song off their first album, but also the track that has, as he wrote, "a bass line that every bass player dreams of." As a bonus, "Wilderness" is a cheeky, ironic (i.e. very Joy Division) choice for a Sunday morning.
