Too young to love, too weak to stand

Ian Curtis was born on 15 July 1956(1956-07-15) then died on 18 May 1980, aged 23.
In fact, at the time of writing this, there is still no conclusion in my mind.

Ian didn't have a miserable childhood or a special family.
He had age-appropriate rebellion.
Listening to Iggy Pop, Jim morrison, idealism.
Married the first woman in love at 19.
From a good lover to a husband to a father
. Everything In order
because Ian is so talented and outstanding.

I wasn't surprised at all when Ian committed suicide in the kitchen at the end of the movie
Not just because I knew the outcome

was because everything was too early, too soon, too perfect
, no bitterness, no sadness,
ideals took over young Ian before reality came

23-year-old Ian A little thin in front of his talent
David Bowie didn't tell him what to do with his marital betrayal
Lou Reed didn't tell him anything about epilepsy
But Jim morrison did define the death of a rock star perfectly

So Ian sat on the couch and
left three letters A suicide note, one to Deb, the other to Annik, and the music for the followers of Control

Control quotes

  • Ian Curtis: I don't want to be in the band anymore. Unknown Pleasures was it. I was happy. I never meant for it to grow like this. When I'm up there, singing they don't understand how much I give and how it affects me. Now they want more. They expect me to give more. And I don't know if I can. It's like it's not happening to me, but... someone pretending to be me, someone dressed in my skin. Now we're going to America. I have no control anymore. I don't know what to do.

  • Ian Curtis: I struggle between what I know is right in my own mind, and some warped truthfulness as seen through other people's eyes who have no heart, and can't see the difference anyway.
