Edit: J - It’s all done with smoke and mirrors ;)

Why?

The Eternal
Why? because it’s beautiful

I know that for the regular song, the chord progression is something along the lines of Em, D, Bm, and A but at the very beggining of the song there is a chord that’s played for the first 6 measures or so, and I can’t find it on any tab/chord websites. The chord doesn’t have to be completely exact, but something that sounds alike to the one in the song is what I’m looking for.

im pretty sure it’s a G…
it may have a base note of A, but it was hard to listen to it from the fuzzy youtube…

The title of the song is "God Is"

God Is by James Cleveland

Depends on your budget but I would go this way
1 -Heart And Soul is the most complete compilation - however it also duplicates the 2 albums and features a live disc. Although it’s a box set it still isn’t the complete works of Joy Division but is the most exhaustive. Worthwhile especially for the versions of Ceremony and an early version of Atmosphere (played on toy piano)
2 - Substance was an attempt at classing Joy Division works as singles, - which is nor really true - it probably contains the best songs that are on Heart and Soul but is nowhere near as exhaustive - 1 disc, not 4
3 - Still was Factory’s first attempt at cataloguing Joy Division and is a bit hit and miss. It doesn’t include the two singles or Atmosphere but does include JD’s last live performance and a cover of Sister Ray in which Curtis actually cracks a joke
The greatest hits compilations don’t really add anything new to the above apart from Permanent has a remixed version of LWTUA

If you get Heart and Soul there’s no real need to get Substance or the Greatest Hits, as just about everything on there but Still is worth a purchase as well

If you’re on a budget get Substance

If you’re a compulsive Joy Division Fan - get everything (I’m possibly in this category)

on a scale of 1-20

As i.jones mentioned, it depends on the arrangement. The Myra Hess arrangement is the most popular but to play it correctly will take some time. Just working out a good fingering will take some time. There are other arrangements that sound very nice and are much easier to play. I would go browsing at a good sheet music store.

What is your favorite song that always cheers you up and makes you happy?

Before Their Eyes You talk a good game

the beginning is so funny i can’t help it but to laugh its a terrible tune u should listen to it:)

Do you care to share to sing or what do you have to shout?

Sing to [the Lord] a new song; play skillfully, and shout for joy.
-Psalm 33:3

Sometimes my loudest "shout" to the Lord is total silence so I can finally "hear" the voice of God’s angel in my head.

Hoezo honger? energie ten overvloede voor de mannen van serious request!

En daar gaan we weer!!!
