Peter Hook, founding member and bassist for Joy Division and New Order, plays the Joy Division song "Love Will Tear Us Apart" live in concert at The Warfield in San Francisco, California on September 10, 2022. Love Will Tear Us Apart was released as a Joy Division single in June 1980, shortly after lead singer Ian Curtis' suicide. The song became the band's biggest hit, has appeared on many Greatest Songs lists and has been covered by many, including Swans, José González, Paul Young, Calexico, Honeyroot, Nouvelle Vague, Broken Social Scene, Bush, Fall Out Boy, Dave Gahan, The Cure, and Arcade Fire. Peter Hook formed Peter Hook & The Light in 2010 primarily to perform Joy Division and New Order covers. The band consists of Peter Hook (lead vocals / bass), his son Jack Bates (bass), Paul Kehoe (drums), David Potts (guitar / backing vocals), and Martin Rebelski (keyboards).
========================
Love Will Tear Us Apart lyrics:
When routine bites hard and ambitions are low
And resentment rides high, but emotions won't grow
And we're changing our ways, taking different roads
Then love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
Why is the bedroom so cold? You've turned away on your side
Is my timing that flawed? Our respect runs so dry
Yet there's still this appeal that we've kept through our lives
But love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
You cry out in your sleep, all my failings exposed
There's a taste in my mouth as desperation takes hold
Just that something so good, just can't function no more
Then love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
Then love, love will tear it apart again
Love, love will tear it apart again
Written by Ian Curtis / Peter Hook / Bernard Sumner / Stephen Morris

Peter Hook & The Light bio:
First revisiting Joy Division’s seminal album “Unknown Pleasures” back in May 2010 for a commemorative charity concert and following it each year with new albums performed live from the repertoire of Hooky’s bands, New Order and Joy Division, Peter Hook & The Light have now moved through each of the albums from those bands and recently finished up a world-wide tour of Factory Records “Substance” compilation albums. Next up for The Light sees them celebrate over four decades of Joy Division’s and Ian Curtis’ continuing influence with the “Joy Division: A Celebration” concerts where they will play both of that band’s albums in full which are now set for January 2022 in the UK. Hooky’s dedication to his back catalogue has seen him move through “Closer”, “Still”, “Movement”, “Power Corruption & Lies”, “Low Life”, “Brotherhood”, “Technique” and “Republic” to arrive at this point and having toured extensively with the band, The Light have come to amass around 600 shows in the decade since their first concert. Among the many highlights as Hooky reintroduced his early repertoire to a host of new audiences across festivals and concerts which have included appearances at Benicassim, Kendall Calling, Primavera Sound, Bestival, Victorious, Rebellion Festival and more as well as sold out gigs at many of the best venues across the world. The band have also toured extensively including in Europe, North and South America, China, Australia, New Zealand and Japan to great success and reactions from fans and critics.
