Glass
¿ìÀÖ·ÖÁÑ(Joy Division) Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hearts fail - young hearts fail
Anytime - pressurised
Overheat - overtired
Take it quick - take it neat
Clasp your hands - touch your feet
Take it quick - take it neat --

Hearts fail - young hearts fail

Anytime - wearing down
On the run - underground
Put your hand where it's safe
Leave your hand where it's safe
Do it again
Do it again and again and again --

Anytime - that's your right
Told ya we should do it again
Overheat - overtired
Don't you wish to do it again --
Anytime - that's all right
Don't you wish to do it again --
I bet you wish you do it again
Do it again --

In the genetic demo version the previous verse is replaced by:
Anytime - that's your right
Bet you wish you'd done it again
Anytime - that's your right
Turn around and do it again --

Do it again - do it again
Do it again and again and again --

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Joy Division's song "Glass" seem to be centered around the idea of youthful recklessness and the desire to experience things quickly and without caution. The first verse speaks to the physical toll that this can take on a person, with "hearts fail" and the body becoming "overheat - overtired" under the pressure of constantly pushing forward. Despite this, the refrain "take it quick - take it neat" reinforces the idea of wanting to move swiftly and efficiently through life.

The second verse takes on a more emotional tone, with the singer wanting to hold onto something safe while also feeling the need to escape into something new and exciting. There is a sense of restlessness, with the idea of being "on the run - underground," but also the desire to find a place where one's hand can be kept safe. Despite this, the refrain continues to urge the listener to keep going and do it all again.

Throughout the song, there is a sense of urgency and a drive to keep moving forward, but also a recognition of the toll that this can take on a person. The repetition of the refrain emphasizes the desire to keep going, even when it may not necessarily be healthy or safe.

Absolutely great! You sir are the Bob Ross of home repair. 10/10

shedbuilderwho

Super helpful. Saved me tons of $ and time. I would wear a face shield (+ safety goggles), though, when removing the old hardened glazing. You may have metal glazing points hidden underneath.

Another interesting n informative video. Found your explanations easy to follow n your optional choices of applying the glazing compound very handy.
Look forward to more of your videos. Thanks !

I enjoyed your video, but it would be nice it have a tool/material list in the description. Great video keep up the good work for all us new to this. Thanks

gliderman

I wonder if 11x14 is really 10 and 7/8 by 14 because I could barely get the glass back in

Excellent video Ron! Something new for me to learn and you gave me a ton of confidence!

Great video, Ron! Instead of using glazing, can I use caulking or Flex Seal? Also, I notice you use DAP glazing. I've read a lot of
negative reviews on this particular brand, and was wondering if you've ever had a problem with it.

Donald Millers Electrical Services LLC

Use dap correctly and you’ll be fine. Don’t use flex seal or caulk, glaze is better

HappiePappie81

Great video! Do I need to apply anything to the inside of the window pane? What keeps it from falling through? Sorry, I’ve never done anything like this before.

I’m so excited how easy it was to cut glass I thought it was more difficult than that! Thank you

Kylen Leonidas

@Jax Amari yup, I have been watching on Flixzone} for since november myself :D

Jax Amari

Pro trick : you can watch series at Flixzone. Been using it for watching lots of of movies during the lockdown.

I didn’t know about that paint thinner trick or the drill attachment gizmo. It would have sped up the process quite a bit when I reglazed 20 sashes in my house this past spring. Every one of them looked like the example you showed. They were leaking air like a sieve.

One other tip for fellow newbies - when you paint them, the paint is supposed to extend onto the glass a bit. It’s part of the air seal.

Sounds like you are restoring an old home too.

Kathleen

That was quite informative, thank you. Nice attention to detail. You are very skilled!

Coming from experience I would say the putty knife will give you more professional results versus the caulk gun. At least with the knife, you can get perfect corners.

Catnip

Thank you, I've seen a few tutorials regarding this and yours is the way I remember seeing my dad and grandad doing them your way. Thanks again.

Donald Millers Electrical Services LLC

Ron has assisted me in many of repairs, never to his knowledge though. Thanks Ron.

Justin Dakich

Have a window exactly like that with all the panes busted on an old shed in the back yard of a house I just bought as is. The occupancy permit inspector said I had to fix that before we could move in (as if I’m going to be living in the shed)
You made this look very manageable, never dealt with glass before, so thanks a ton!

Sean Whitaker

Good instruction. I now have more confidence to fix my window. Thx

Joseph Healey

Thank You so much You make it so easy not to worry how to do this.

Michelle Kajee

Thank you for the hint. I fitted one yesterday but I guess I have to try dipping a putty knife into oil. This i didn't know. I'm my way to fit my second glass now using your method. Gracias 🙏 senor

Will K.2

Great video. Very helpful 👍🏻

Dakeyna

Thank you for your help, Sir!

Matt Simko

Great video Mr. Ron. Very informative

Avril Galindez

Thank you so much! I really needed a video like this for the fanfic I’m writting!!

Mikey Minenno

Thanks Ron your a millennial life saver.

Ms Terry

Glad I saw this. Have to replace two small windows - however am using plexiglass. Think it will work the same. Good video.

This is by far the BEST video for repairing glass. Genius idea.

uTubeStalker DotCom

Okay, but Dap 33 Window Glazing Putty (not Painter's Putty for drywall) doesn't dry hard after 48 hours, at minimum like in a week when you can't leave a fingerprint, but more like 2-3 weeks and then it will dry. Once dried then you can paint to seal the glass in place

Oaks of Justice

Hi, new subscriber. I have 3 windows where the 1st layer of the glass was broken but the 2nd layer is fine. We're moving & seniors on a limited budget. I haven't been able to find anyone reasonably priced to fix these. I realized I could break the outside broken layer & the inside is fine. Can u give me some tips ?

Daniel Rollins

Thank you this was great 👍

danilo rainone

be watching feeling for points when prying the crumbled stuff out, hitting the point sharply will often crack the glass

Stephanie Johnson

So helpful thanks

bhadz100

What do I need to do if I go with a different glass like an insulated one

Jennifer V

Very well done. Interesting.

I have some left over plumbers putty, I wonder if that would work for the inner side of the pane?

KingofRoath

2y↑2

Thanks Ron, but the one thing I wanted to know was how to measure the replacement piece of glass, which is the one bit you skipped! Eg, the rebate is 1/4", how much gap do I leave?

Evelyn Cook

*pane

Evelyn Cook

I can’t angle it in to the pane. I’m gonna get another smaller piece today. Fingers crossed.

KingofRoath

2y↑2

@Evelyn Cook Hi Evelyn. If you measured the pane you took out, I'm not sure how it won't go back in. But the general rule is to leave 1/8" gap all round. The glazier who cut the glass for me misread my diagram and cut it 1/4" too long. It took him about 2 mins to correct it.

Evelyn Cook

I have this question also. I used the actual dimensions of the broken piece, but didn’t allow for how I would get it back in the frame.
The visible dimensions are 11 x 12; the actual glass was 11 1/4 x 12 3/8.
I guess I need to have another pain cut, or try to trim this one myself with a glass cutter, but not sure how much I need to subtract from the dimensions to wiggle it in.

Thank you Ron for sharing. I replaced my windows putty a year ago. I'm having a bad mold issue on the new putty. Any solutions for this?

Growing the Home

4y↑3

it is very susceptible to mold if not painted over or not painted over quickly after drying. I would suggest removing it and redoing and making sure to seal it in as soon as possible after it has a film to the top (before even drying out all the way) with oil, not water-based paint.

Ivan Cespedes

Does this work with newerr aluminum windows too?

Viv doolan

You are a great presenter

Fresh Off The Detail

I like your style! Awesome

Roland Gent

How long does it take putty to dry ?

Kenneth Holloway

ichigomania100

Great Video!!

David Atkins

this is very helpful...but when you used that putty chaser, I almost laughed when the next screen is you replacing the broken window pane! Tell me that's not related. I don't know if I am going to risk trying that putty chaser on my old windows.

Jorge Rosales

Great thanks

Bo Darville

Don't forget to check that old window glazing for asbestos. Whoops.

Anthony Carter

They just don’t make windows like they used to 🥹

Kaushal

We have a 3 feet into 8 feet glass pane broken how to take that out

Loren C

How come you didn't pudy the top of the glass?

zztop

2y↑1

Some window panes will fit into a cut in grove on the top side of the window sash, which doesn't need glazing.

Pane windows are made by terrible British craftsman's for use in terribly British houses that had no place in modern architecture.
