    "comment": "Hi - it's me and my wife's anniversary today, but instead of spending it doing something nice and relaxing, we're moving house. Please play (and dedicate to Ruth) our wedding song, \"Love will tear us apart\" to help us hold together today! \n\nThanks!\n\nPatrick \n---\n\nDrummer Stephen Morris said, \"We had this one battle where it was nearly midnight and I said, “Is it all right if I go home, Martin [producer Martin Hannett] – it’s been a long day?” And he said [whispers], “OK … you go home”. So I went back to the flat. Just got to sleep and the phone rings. “Martin wants you to come back and do the snare drum”. At four in the morning! I said, “What’s wrong with the snare drum!?” So every time I hear “Love Will Tear Us Apart”, I grit my teeth and remember myself shouting down the phone, “YOU B-----D!” … I can feel the anger in it even now. It’s a great song and it’s a great production, but I do get anguished every time I hear it.\" Read more about this great song: https://anglotopia.net/british-music-british-entertainment/routine-bites-hard-the-story-behind-joy-divisions-love-will-tear-us-apart/",
