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.

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!

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.

The Cure were known for dark, moody, goth songs early in their career and then Robert Smith decided to do a 180 and start writing more positive, upbeat songs. Of course they were still in their own, unique goth style.
@jaynagerber7474 2 жыл бұрын
Technically they were at least as upbeat on their debut album (released in 1979, with almost nothing remotely close to dark, moody, nor gothic) as most of the stuff in the 80s. It was on their second through fourth albums (respectively "Seventeen Seconds", "Faith", and "Pornography") that they became known for the dark, gothic, and moody music (although on everything but "Pornography" - which was their darkest album, by far), you could still find some positive and upbeat vibes mixed in with their music. As far as styles, both "Disintegration" in 1989 (their 9th original studio album) and "Bloodflowers" in 2000 (12th original studio album) were throwbacks to the so called gothic period (so called because Robert Smith has categorically denied on multiple occasions that they were ever a gothic band). Robert has specifically said that "Bloodflowers completed a triumvirate along with "Pornography" and "Disintegration" (he actually used a different word than triumvirate, but I can't recall what it was at the moment, and that word basically expresses his meaning). Even on all of their other albums, there has been a mixture of styles and themes, and both upbeat and moody can be found (to some degree or another), with "Head on the Door" (7th original studio album) probably having the greatest mix of positive, upbeat and dark/moody themed music. Robert is one who has never been held down by conventions and popular sentiments, so he creates what he wants when he wants (even when it goes against the bands so called image or style).
@Craven01 2 жыл бұрын
They never did a 180 degrees turn, thats a myth .. they had and still have both styles. if you ever been to one of their concerts you should known that. They still perform songs from both "genres". They started more upbeat, continued more dark and gloomy (but still had upbeat songs), became more upbeat again (yes its true that they wanted at one point to show the world that they are not as dark as people thought) and then continued somewhere in the middle.. it was never a 180 degrees turn, they were in both sides all the time.

@@Craven01 Never said they didn't, But I do remember an interview where he said he made a conscious decision to not do so many dark songs, or works to that effect. I don't remember exactly since it was a while ago, but he felt they were being pigeon holed as a dark goth band.

@Marcus Agreed, he balked at that stereotype. And some of the more upbeat songs were a result of that. I wish I remember the interview where he talked about it but I don't.

Great track. I think the separation is the singer being on tour, and wishing he was home with his wife.

The word you guys are looking for to describe the Cures sound is Lush. It’s the most commonly used word to describe all that glorious sound mixing together and all somehow fitting into your ears at once.
