  • @Prettyphile
    @Prettyphile Před 2 lety +194

    Per frontman Robert Smith's analysis of the opening verse ("Show me, show me, show me how you do that trick"), the line is both a reference to his love of performing magic tricks in his youth and "about a seduction trick, from much later in my life," Yet, overall, the song has a very specific meaning about a very specific person. According to Songfacts, in an interview with Blender in 2003 Smith said that the song is about his wife Mary Poole and their star-crossed love as flatmates in London during the '80s. "The song is about hyperventilating - kissing and fainting to the floor," Smith told Blender. "Mary dances with me in the video because she was the girl, so it had to be her. The idea is that one night like that is worth 1,000 hours of drudgery."
    For the ballad about Smith's muse, the band was given a lot of input from Mary herself (as well as the girlfriends of other band members) before the final version was cut. In fact, many of the band's flames hung out during recording sessions and critiqued the music: "The girls would sit on the sofa in the back of the control room and give the songs marks out often," Smith told Rolling Stone
    The Cure is my absolute favorite band (I was a 90's Goth, and still hold it in my heart and style of dress now).

      Not quite "dozens" of hits. Frankly, not many "hits" at all, at least in the US. It's why they were known as an alternative band. Only 1 top ten hit on Billboard charts and only about 5 or 6 in the top 50. But they have sold around 30 million albums.

    This was a top 40 pop song that had no chorus and a nearly minute long intro. Pretty nifty achievement if you ask me. This song has a bit of a mandela effect with me, because it feels like really should have been used as an iconic song from an iconic 80s film, and yet it wasn't. But I'm pretty sure you could throw this on to the end of any teen, coming of age, or romance movie from the 80s and it would fit perfectly and make a great ending song.

He was and is still so much in love with his wife and they have been married for about 40 years.

Pretty sure you guys will find that New Wave is a very broad, diverse genre. Everything from, post punk, techno, guitar based, alternative dance, neo-psychedelia, etc. I noticed some downbeat tracks were winning the polls during the stream, but there are plenty of super high energy bands/tracks to choose from. Hope you guys continue to delve into it!

Listen to Bauhuas, Siouxie and tell me they sound similar. I like The Smiths but they ain't no goth band... that's for sure. And yes I grew up with the British culture. This was in my teens..

    Robert Smith, such a great songwriter, up there with Lennon and McCartney in my books. An ability to write the perfect pop song like this and then write something like Fascination Street, Pictures of you or Last day of Summer. The man is a genius. If you enjoyed this track, check out Friday I'm in love, Mint Car, Boys Don't Cry, Inbetween Days, and Close to me.

      @@_Shadoh_ It's a superb album, from the subwoofer pounding atmospheric opening of Plainsong to the melancholy untitled final track. The only problem with recommending a single track off Disintegration is that it almost feels like something is missing. The whole album really is a package experience, like Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon. "Time" or "Pictures of You" are excellent on their own but they gain something from being heard as part of the whole.
