Curve - Recovery

[@RicardoSpunkyMonkey]

This might be the best song by Curve, it's perfect😊

[@kaelsaxe]

My favorite is The Colour Hurts, but this is definitely right up there

[@DavidMGettis]

BRILLIANCE. Still remember listening to this song on repeat walking at the beach on a cold, crisp, sunny November day back in '98 with no one else in sight.

[@grim1476]

Yeah i reckon its their best!

[@vfvfcjcb]

I've been coming back to this song on KZbin for the last month and always see your comment. Every time I imagined that you were walking somewhere, like a scene from “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind”. In fact, I feel the whole moment, but sometimes I can’t compare it with 1998, because I was born only in 2000. But I have a different solution: you wrote this comment 12 years ago, it's like when you felt like you were on the beach in the late 90's. For me it would be November 2010 and I remember it. And it's crazy, just to realize that at that time it was the same segment as it is for me now. And now it's doubled for you. Life is mercilessly fast.

[@grim1476]

I’ve repeated this track a million times. It’s my favourite from them. Gold.

[@davegunstone]

I heard this track in the movie Razor Blade Smile, I watched the credits to see who the artist was. What a great track. A new Curve fan.

[@WanderlustZero]

Over 20 years later and still goosebumps

[@mouthbreathers]

Wow... This song still stirs my insides every time I hear it - and I've heard it a lot!! Brilliance of epic proportions.

[@decomsp]

this song makes me close my eyes and travel in time

[@toska8664]

This is one of my favourite songs.. Not only is it a perfect representation of Post de-tox drug addiction and lost love but it also perfectly shows off the awesome range and creativity of one of the greatest vocalists ever known.. Top tier. Miss Halliday was incredible. An absolute prodigy. I only wished she went on to do more like this.

[@MrHumanracin]

One of CURVE'S best songs!

[@philipgior3312]

Brilliant and sadly underappreciated song.

[@Paul_John_Paul]

One of my all time favourite bands...

[@theblindfoldep]

One of their very best tracks. The original version on the "Pink Girl..." single is my favourite. I was visiting my hometown in the north of England at the time, bored out my brains, when I picked up the NME one day with the news that they were back together. Was utterly ecstatic. Bought the 7" and CD.

[@Triggerhappytel]

Such an amazing song. I currently listen to Come Clean at least once a day (before that it was Cuckoo) and this is a perfect way to end the album.

[@marcgraneek1]

Perfection

[@sunshaped]

This, Unreadable Communication, and Horror Head are the Holy Trinity of Curve for me. Nothing else from them hits me quite the same way these three songs do. They just push you way out of this world. The cover of I Feel Love on Way of Curve is pretty fucking amazing too.

[@LaLa-eh9xe]

On the Wheel will blow your mind too.

[@madwinetaster]

I remember listening to the CD in prague 1999 - completed stranded. Surreal.

[@av82y]

no one mentioned that the song had been produced by Tim Simenon (Bomb The Bass) - actually Tim Simenon produced all songs exept three: Chinese burn, Coming up roses and Dog bone - also before Come Clean he produced "Ultra" (1997) for Depeche Mode and "Shag Tobacco" (1995) for Gavin Friday. that's the range of work!

[@brianstephens575]

Great memories of watching curve play this at the Shepard’s bush empire when the album came out and of course razor blade smile with Eileen daly

[@Hackmoune]

I love Garbage, but Curve is oustanding

[@jeffmusgrave3691]

Yes.

[@gusgrimm7533]

I mentioned elsewhere, "Curve were Bjork BEFORE Bjork was Bjork." That goes DOUBLE for Shirley, Butch, Duke & Steve ;-)

[@leonidsidorin6119]

Underrated as hell! Curve is the best band wite femake vocal ever!

[@lucrretiia]

it's so good it makes me cry

[@ElectricLabel]

Yeah, I think this was the ultimate winner on Come Clean. The original version on the B side of Pink Girl With The Blues was also amazing. Its just a complete work of brilliance...

[@elektrinate]

Incredible band

[@SIMON2500065]

Saw Curve 3 times and to this day nobody will ever match how fuckin amazing they were..!

[@homeostaticcalibration4532]

That scream in the middle, wow

[@Problembeing]

Aaaaah. Pure bliss.

[@FranciscoSantos-df8xl]

Love❤❤❤❤

[@75claymont]

play this as loud as you can stand it

[@sunshaped]

absolutely.

[@euromisk]

best song on the album

[@felix85g]

it's my favourite, too :)

[@joe3000002]

holy dhit forgot bout these guys i rember this from 90s amazin i listened to some balls ha ha

[@HoChiMints2007]

That "AAAAAAaaaAAaaAAAA" scream near the end. So good

[@nicholasmorris470]

Pure klass, evri recording a true wall of sound,beautiful. Always top entertainment. Wa ahead oft curve.

[@hank1972]

I remember this track came out after they split for the 1st time. When I found out that they released this on the Pink Girl with the Blue EPI was happier than a pig in shit!

[@75claymont]

when did they split and for how long

[@Wout.vlmnck]

@@75claymont They split from 1994-1996 and from 2005-present

Like Old Folks says, better late than never, (one of those myself)

[@LeMnISc4tA]

No words. Mesmerized.

[@JohnCrawford420]

The Best Curve track ....the original version of this on the pink girl with the blues ep

[@tonguepetals]

This song is still one of their best. Goddamn.

[@ziguigui22]

Dean Garcia is a genius. 440

[@music2obscureyou330]

Saw them live 2 times. Atlanta Georgia The Masqeurade***

[@tresinforest2904]

I watched them at slims sanfran cali

[@fSpyridon]

2024?

[@felix85g]

Me

[@PereMarquette1225]

Interesting... the phrase "razor blade smile" comes from a line in Eurythmics 1983 song "Regrets."

[@harrisrunner5177]

interesting, because I was just thinking about the eurythimics

[@harkyo]

+Harris runner Dave Stewart of the Eurythmics introduced Dean Garcia and Toni Halliday to each other.

[@PereMarquette1225]

Yes, and they recorded at the Church, Dave & Annie's studio at the time. I think a lot of Dean's musical inventiveness came from working with them, Dave in particular.

[@felix85g]

recovery is one my favourites "come clean"'s songs! thank you for your comment :)

[@centrevezgaming4862]

i came across this song in the film razor blade smile such an great move

[@sebastian242]

Glad someone else mentioned Razor Blade Smile ;) xsx

[@tunafish3485]

Still Listening 2018 xx

[@lollol-vb6uk]

I still like this song

[@Oliviacaptain]

The months go by I don't think of you The signal is frail An imprint of what you do So I turn up the sound And you are nowhere I have learnt this to my cost But I maintain In the slow lane I maintain In the slow lane The scent goes by Still I smell of you You say I cry At the merest thought of you So you let me down To laugh at nothing I have learnt this for myself But I maintain In the slow lane I maintain In the slow lane ADVERTISEMENT SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT So I turn down the sound And you are nowhere I have learnt this to my cost But I maintain In the slow lane I maintain In the slow lane I maintain In the slow lane So turn down the sound Cuz you are nowhere You let me down To laugh at nothing I have learnt this to my cost I have learnt this for myself I have learnt this to my cost I have learnt this for myself I have learnt this to my cost I have learnt this for myself I have learnt this to my cost I have learnt this for myself

[@Oliviacaptain]

Sorry about the advert bit... not sure how to edit that out...

[@MsShadowbite]

hey deadlyelixire I love that movie razor blade smile.....awsome to know of someone else who loves it too!!! cult classic and yes I agree Lilith Silver can bite me too...mmmm "you're a real vampire lover"..HOT!

[@danieldemayo6209]

[@deadlyelixire]

@MsShadowbite ..................NICE!

[@shoeshine7002]

I think you could listen to this song while banging it of u know what I mean lol.

[@felix85g]

I agree with you :)

[@deadlyelixire]

I love Curve...BTW this song is in the movie Razorblade Smile .played during the incredibly hot lesbian scene. I would let Lillith Silver bite me any day.

[@HallofWisdom]

--- the full movie is on KZbin now, where is the scene? kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpjCdJ6Ce6yKmJY --- 06MAR22

[@tepracreh]

@DavidMGettis you have a wonderful memory of this song :-)

[@felix85g]

yes I know that song and it's similar :)

[@MarkSmith-eh6tz]

Watch out for Lilith!

[@radvragu]

But I maintain, in the slow lane

[@slowneutron6163]

Pretty fucking heavy. Dig it.

[@euromisk]

perhaps you'll like crystal method's keep coming back. It kind of reminds me of recovery

[@mismacskavonpelt4223]

mmmm god

[@75claymont]

who's recovering and from what?

[@LaLa-eh9xe]

When I interviewed her for this album backstage at their tour. Toni said this was about her addiction to cocaine. This is her talking to her addiction.

[@jhornecreative]

Always end the album with something beefy.

[@jaimeroldan1000]

@DavidMGettis POORMAN

[@tracylf5409]

Garbage stole their style, 100%

[@felix85g]

I don't think, Come Clean has a different sound then the previous Curve albums, more industrial, influenced by electronic, samples and dance music. People didn't appreciate their change of style and this came out after their first split and reformation anticipated by their first single Pink girl with the blues

[@tracylf5409]

@@felix85g Doesn't change that fact that Garbage sounds/sounded exactly like Curve.

[@felix85g]

Similarities with Curve can be found only in the first Garbage album . Songs like Recovery are only Curve, not Garbage. Garbage never made albums like Come Clean, New adventures of Curve, Gift, Open day at the hate fest, even Cuckoo. Version 2.0, Beautifulgarbage, Bleed like me are very different . I stil love both bands. And Strange Little Birds is a true gem.

[@tracylf5409]

@@felix85g It's all of it. Garbage changed it up a bit to try to remove the taint, but Curve sticks as their basis.

[@chuckmorton8823]

remix ... nothing like the original
