1. Love Will Tear Us Apart (1980)

I will give this a 10/10. The lyrics was inspired by the lead singer Ian Curtis (lead vocals and occasional guitar) who had difficulties in his marriage. This is one of Joy Division's most well-known and beloved tracks I enjoyed listening to this song it gives me a sense of mellow quality it was very calming, I listened to this various times.

8. New Dawn Fades (1979)

I give this song a 8.8/10 my attention span is really low, it sounded very haunting it gave me a lasting impression and it evoked intense emotion. This song was very expressive as well doesn't really show the meaning of it but the sound made it convey deep emotion and feeling through dynamics and phrasing.
