"Dear Will Tear Usa Autonomously" is a song by English stone band Joy Sectionalisation, released in June 1980 as a non-album unmarried. Its lyrics were inspired by atomic number 82 singer Ian Curtis's marital problems and struggles with epilepsy.^[5] The unmarried was released the calendar month afterward his suicide.

The vocal was certified platinum in the Great britain, selling over 600,000 copies, and has an ongoing legacy as a defining vocal of the era. In 2002, NME named "Love Volition Tear Us Autonomously" as the greatest single of all time, while Rolling Stone, in 2004 and 2011, named information technology 1 of the 500 best songs ever.

Groundwork [edit]

"Love Will Tear Us Apart" was written well-nigh Ian Curtis' troubled human relationship with his wife, Deborah Woodruff, whom he married in Baronial 1975. Additionally, it deals with his own struggles with epilepsy, which he was diagnosed with in 1979, and the overwhelming stress of holding down a mean solar day job and his growing career every bit a singer.^[6]

At a Joy Sectionalization gig in October 1979, Curtis met Belgian journalist and music promoter Annik Honoré and the two began a relationship, which caused farther distress between Curtis and Woodruff.^{[half dozen] [7]}

Speaking about her relationship with Curtis in a 2010 interview with Belgian magazine supplement Focus, Honoré said:

Information technology was a completely pure and ideal relationship, very kittenish, very chaste… I did not take a sexual relationship with Ian, he was on medication, which rendered it a non-physical relationship. I am so fed up that people question my word or his: people can say whatsoever they want, but I am the only person to accept his letters… One of his letters says that the human relationship with his wife Deborah had already finished prior to us meeting each other.^[8]

Recording [edit]

Joy Segmentation first recorded "Love Volition Tear Us Apart" at Pennine Studios, Oldham, on 8 January 1980, along with the B-side, "These Days". This version was similar to the version the band played live. However, vocalist Ian Curtis and producer Martin Hannett disliked the results and the band reconvened at Strawberry Studios, Stockport in March to re-record information technology.^[3] Drummer Stephen Morris recalled:

Martin Hannett played i of his mind games when we were recording it – it sounds similar he was a tyrant, just he wasn't, he was nice. We had this one battle where it was nearly midnight and I said, "Is it all right if I become habitation, Martin – it'due south been a long twenty-four hours?" And he said [whispers], "OK... you get home". So I went dorsum to the flat. Just got to slumber and the phone rings. "Martin wants you to come dorsum and do the snare drum". At four in the morn! I said, "What's wrong with the snare pulsate!?" So every time I hear "Love Will Tear Us Apart", I dust my teeth and remember myself shouting down the telephone, "YOU Bastard!" ... I can feel the anger in it even at present. It's a cracking song and it's a great production, but I exercise get anguished every fourth dimension I hear it.^[9]

The guitar on the recording, a 12-string Eko guitar, was played by Bernard Sumner.^[10] While Curtis more often than not did not play guitar, to perform the song live, the band taught him how to strum a D major chord. Sumner said:

Ian didn't really desire to play guitar, merely for some reason nosotros wanted him to play it. I can't remember the reason now... We showed him how to play D and we wrote a song. I wonder if that's why we wrote "Dear Will Tear Us Autonomously", you lot could drone a D through it. I recall he played it alive because I was playing keyboards.^[10]

While Joy Partitioning were recording, U2 were in the studio to run across Hannett about producing their single "eleven O'Clock Tick Tock". U2 vocaliser Bono said of the encounter:

Talking to Ian Curtis is... or was a strange experience because he's very warm... he talked—it was similar ii people inside of him—he talked very calorie-free, and he talked very well-mannered, and very polite. But when he got behind the microphone he really surged forth; there was another free energy. It seemed like he was just ii people and, y'all know, "Dearest Will Tear Usa Autonomously", it was like [when] that record was released... it was like, equally if, at that place were the personalities, separate; there they were, torn apart.^[eleven]

Releases [edit]

Information technology was first recorded for a John Peel session in November 1979, and so re-recorded in Jan 1980 and March 1980. Information technology is the latter version that appears on the 1988 Substance album. The January 1980 version, which has become known every bit the "Pennine version", originally appeared as one of the single'southward B-sides.

"Love Volition Tear Us Apart" became Joy Division's first chart hit, reaching number 13 in the UK Singles Chart.^[12] The following month, the unmarried topped the UK Indie Nautical chart.^[13] The song also peaked at number 42 on the Billboard disco chart in October 1980.^[xiv] "Love Will Tear Us Apart" also reached number ane in New Zealand in June 1981.^[15]

The single was re-released in 1983 and reached number xix on the UK charts^[16] and number 3 in New Zealand during March 1984.^[15] In 1985, the 7" single was released in Poland by Tonpress in different sleeve under licence from Factory and sold over 20,000 copies.^[17] In Nov 1988, it made 1 more Summit 40 advent in New Zealand, peaking at number 39.^[fifteen]

Cover photo [edit]

According to Curtis's married woman Deborah, to create the single cover photo, the song title was etched upon a sheet of metallic; this was anile with acid and exposed to the atmospheric condition to create the appearance of a rock slab.^[xviii] For the 12" version of the single, a photograph of a grieving angel on the Ribaudo family unit tomb in Genoa's Monumental Cemetery of Staglieno (sculpted by Onorato Toso c. 1910) was used. The photograph was taken by Bernard Pierre Wolff in 1978.^[xix]

Music video [edit]

The video was shot by the band themselves on 25 April 1980^[20] as they apposite the song at T. J. Davidson'southward studio, in Knott Mill, Manchester city eye, where the ring had previously rehearsed during the early days of their career. At the offset of the video, the door that opens and shuts is carved with Ian Curtis' proper noun; reportedly this was the beginning of an abusive message (the rest later erased) carved into the door.

Due to poor production, the video's colour is 'browned out' at some points. Also, as the rail recorded during the recording of the video was poor, it was replaced with the unmarried-edit recording of the vocal past the band's record company in Australia, leading to problems with the synchronisation of music and video. This edited version of the music video would later on get the official version due to the improvement of sound quality.

This was the just promotional video the band always produced every bit Ian Curtis hanged himself three weeks afterward the video was recorded.^[21]
