The song centers on Peter Hook 's cool, droning, minimalist bassline formed over a methodical and mechanistic drum beat courtesy of Stephen Morris . In dramatic contrast, Bernard Sumner 's guitar work is sharp and clipped, and bears a striking resemblance to Dave Davies ' work on early Kinks singles such as " You Really Got Me " and " All Day And All Night ". Ian Curtis ' lyrics concern a girl having an Epileptic Seizure (i.e. "''losing control''"), a condition which Curtis himself suffered from, and Curtis' delivery is nervy and paranoid, reflecting the ominous music. Many Indie bands have covered it, as well as Siobhan Fahey and Grace Jones . The name of the song is referenced in the title of the upcoming movie called '' Control ''. The film '' 24 Hour Party People '' includes a scene dramatizing the recording of the song, and suggests that Morris recorded the drum beat on the roof of the studio, as well as continuing to play the beat long after the other band members recorded their parts and left the studio. This could have been simply for humor, or making reference to Martin Hannett 's eccentricity (in a previous scene, he is depicted recording "silence" atop a hill). EXTERNAL LINKS |
