@@stateofblitz I couldn't agree more. What an intro: First drums, then bass, then add rhythm guitar, then synth, then add that awesome, addicting lead riff. Only then, does Robert start singing. Beautifully constructed song. It's 34 years old now, and I think I love it even more today than in '87.
This song does something to me man - that intro buildup with the bass and keyboards coming in and then the lead guitar riff starting at about 0:56 brings tears to my eyes. So beautiful.
That's the thing about the cure, they make you want to listen to their songs again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again!
How Beautiful You Are, and Lovesong are ones I suggest. The Cure are probably my favourite band, they have helped me through shit, and stuff, watching you hear them for the first time was joyous. Catch. Pictures of You. Lovecats. There is a long list. Mostly, though, I am happy for you that you enjoyed it.
"Close To Me" was the first song I ever heard from The Cure. I remember seeing the Video for it and it was so strange so of course I fell in love with the band!
A Forest is this band that dark trilogy Seventeen Seconds, Faith and Pornography is the true Cure sound but i agree A Forest takes you to another dimension or time and space.
Often a good song leaves you wanting more! Other songs by the Cure you might try are "Lullaby", "A Forest" or " Friday I'm in Love". They started in the late seventies and released a lot of good stuff over the decades.
