Michael Gira - sad
Paul Weller (in the early days) - angry
and of course Ian Curtis. I saw a documentary the other day in which Peter Hook said that he never really took much notice of Ians lyrics until after he died. He'd assumed that Ian was just being 'arty'. It was only after his death that he, and the rest of the band, realised that Ian meant every fucking word of what he wrote. - both sad and angry
