I just really love cover songs which I’m sure is no surprise, but…

… I think this one is just A-fu@king-mazing!!! (and dare I say hauntingly good!!!)
As it’s one of those rare times when a song is covered by a band and is reimagined in the way that feels like a solid reinterpretation and representation with a new energy and sound that makes a true classic masterpiece that Disorder has always been while at the same time given new life to it in a strikingly unique manner with a beautiful result. And I would be hard pressed if I had to pick which is my favorite.
I only hope you enjoy this cover of Joy Division’s Disorder by Freak Slug as much as I do!!

Freak Slug - Disorder (originally Joy Division)



I've been waiting for a guide to come
And take me by the hand
Could these sensations make me feel
The pleasures of a normal man
These sensations barely interest me
For another day
I've got the spirit, lose the feeling
Take the shock away
It's getting faster, moving faster now
It's getting out of hand
On the tenth floor, down the back stairs
It's in no man's land
Lights are flashing, cars are crashing
Getting frequent now
I've got the spirit, lose the feeling
Let it out somehow
What means to you, what means to me
And we will meet again
I'm watching you, I'm watching her
I'll take no pity from you friends
Who is right, who can tell
And who gives a damn right now
Until the spirit new sensation takes hold, then you know
Until the spirit new sensation takes hold, then you know
Until the spirit new sensation takes hold, then you know

I've got the spirit
But lose the feeling
I've got the spirit
But I lose the feeling
I lose the feeling
I lose the feeling
I've got the spirit
But I lose the feeling
I lose the feeling

Not bad! I thought Third Eye Blind did a pretty good version of that song too.

wowwww, what a great find ... in this case a cover version really is exceptional and almost a new song completely

when I was in high school and a friend made me a cassette copy of the Still album, with that great live version of DIsorder on it, I used to air drum to that all the time (inclusive of the hi-hat pedal LOL)

previously I've also very much liked this other cover version by Hooky's son on bass (naturally), the former lead singer of the Screaming Trees, the guitarist of the week for the Smashing Pumpkins

@BlueGreenGrey I’m super stoked that you enjoy it as well. ☺😊
I’ve been craving this kind of connection with a song for days now (seems like longer?!) and this has satisfied my jonesing for the time being…
@RunTheJulz I'm glad you feel that way, this is indeed a stellar find ☺🤗
