Today's song, Ian Curtis Wishlist, closes the already bleak A Promise in an even more bleaker manner, with every aspect from the title to the meaning of the title not to mention the track itself adding even more to the sadness to it.
The title refers to Ian Curtis.. who I honestly have no knowledge of rather than his death. However I do know what the other part of the title means!!! Quoting Jamie Stewart, "an Ian Curtis wishlist is a list of things you've convinced yourself you want to have happen, but you know will never actually happen." The song itself is about being really in love with someone who isn't going to show it back.
