sink or swim?

bernard sumner on new order and joy division:

People come up to me and say, "You changed my life." I don't think I changed anyone's life, I think their life changed while they were listening to the music.

on not hanging on to things since past:

I'm not the sort of person who just likes looking at the past. We all live for the future, don't we? If we lived for the past, it would be a pretty sad existence. So while I embrace our past with both arms, I've gone on to the future.

i can't wait for the bad lieutenant album. i've already posted a better version of this song, but it was yanked from youtube. maybe i'm off (and maybe i'm being sentimental because of the lyrics), but i think it kills.
