This is a cover of the song by Joy Division. José strips the song to its barest chord progression and melody, then builds from it, to create his version.
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
Love, love will tear us apart again
[Verse 2]
Why is this bedroom so cold?
You 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
[Chorus]
Love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
[Verse 3]
You cry out in your sleep
All my feelings exposed
And there's a taste in my mouth
As desperation takes hold
Just that something's so good
Just can't function no more, when
[Chorus]
Love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
Oh, love, love will tear us apart again
