Alkaline Trio - The Exploding Boy

[@BrookieMonster1313]

Had no clue The Cure did this first. Today years old.

Brings me back to HS days, thanks for the upload!

FYI, the lyric is "not today" not "not too late" -- it's the same as the original Cure version. :-)

[@Nisaras94]

Ahh ok. Fixed it. Thanks. =)

[@justinchastant9246]

I like this more than the original. My high school punk/pop punk/post punk band was called Exploding Boy. We discovered this song and The Cure original after naming ourselves that.

[@AlyssaHopeByrd]

Big NOPE, my dear. The original has far too much emotion & "huh huhs" to not be superior.

[@justinchastant9246]

​@@AlyssaHopeByrdThe Cure ain't it.

[@kenaultman7499]

One of their best songs. Sorry, I hate their new stuff.

[@wickerxman]

NO WAY!

[@FranckGrand]

They touch an untouchable song... but it's not so bad (expect the voice : Robert is the only)

[@skifullydone8165]

They did touch an untouchable song and made it even better. This is pure perfection.

[@1y1son11]

@@skifullydone8165 Nah, the original is way better. Nice cover though.

[@shish9911]

Diehard Cure fan ... here out of curiosity Will never return though, this version is HORRIBLE, brutalizing one of my favorite Cure songs !!

[@billynoresco6370]
