Well, at least Joy Division wasn't quite as obnoxious as Sex Pistols, and yet, plenty of people have kind of forgotten Joy Division. Well, I reckon I figured out a way to make this film's title less bland and formulaic, though maybe this film should just stick with the title the filmmakers settled on, because Joy Division was only original in their being a post-punked-up version of The Doors, only, you know, a little duller ("Oh, yeah, Jim Morrison made Mick Jagger look tedious, he was such an exciting frontman"). The band never made an official music video for She’s Lost Control."Sid and Nancy II: The Ballad of Some Other Underwhelming Late-'70s Punk Band With a Tragic Story That People Forgot About".The song was released on June 15th, 1979 as the 6th track on Joy Division’s critically acclaimed debut studio album Unknown Pleasures.The title of the 2007 biographical film Control, which is about Ian Curtis’ life, was derived from the song’s title.She’s Lost Control was produced by Joy Division and Martin Zero (Martin Hannett).The song’s lyrics were penned by Curtis.The song was written by all four members of Joy Division (Bernard Sumner, Ian Curtis, Peter Hook and Stephen Morris).One such precaution involved Curtis and his wife Deborah coming up with a nightly ritual that saw Curtis waiting to have an epileptic seizure in front of his wife (that is providing he didn’t have one during the day) before going to sleep. He therefore took a number of precautions to try to prevent that from happening to him. It is noteworthy that since the woman choked to death in her sleep during an epileptic fit, Curtis began to harbor fears that he might also die in his sleep in a similar way the woman died. In an interview with Q magazine, Bernard Sumner of Joy Division stated the following about the meaning of the song: The woman’s life, coupled with Curtis’ own lifelong battle with severe epilepsy led to the birth of the lyrics of She’s Lost Control.
