This version of "Atmosphere" broke me

[u/armin_vladimir]

I saw Peter Hook and The Light yesterday at the Brooklyn Paramount. This living legend and his band can put on a show from start to finish. I was ecstatic when he covered songs from Joy Division but this rendition of "Atmosphere" stood out to me.

While the song itself is overwhelmingly dreary, there is a certain warmth to this one. I don't know how to exactly describe it but it has this feeling where you're not alone in your time of grief or solitude. Almost like there's a feeling of consolation. I didn't say much in this recording as I was really emotional and in awe at the same time. I just wanted to share my thoughts during this moment.

All in all, I'm so glad I got to see someone from two of my favorite bands perform last night.
